Finasteride is scary bro, too many firsthand accounts of issues for me.

They did years ago, as of late they are in fact moving faster than others. I think my point stands, they are no longer clearly behind in features, and in fact probably are near tied if you subtract the Chrome-only stuff, and take into accou

I mean if you do the analysis on features supported on CanIUse, Safari is not really behind in any meaningful way. There are some missing features relative to Chrome, but they actually support a number of things other browsers don't. I

The data doesn’t show they drag their feet though. If anything FF is behind. I genuinely enjoy Safari as a user more than Chrome. As a developer the dev tools suck. But as a user - the UI is far more minimal and nice. Every single action fe

The features missing thing was true years ago, but Apple significantly increased their investment in Safari about 3 years ago and it really gained ground. If you subtract all the Chrome-invented features, they aren't too far off.

Safari is better than Chrome in many ways, arguably most.

On a more general note, fines need to be something like 5-10x of the benefit, not 1-2x. Of course the gov has limited resources, limited ability to win trials, etc, so they need to be far beyond just compensation.

I once used RxJS for a dev tool platform, we had a use case where we had to take a tree-like structure of user data and recursively resolve all the async nodes. Took it to the RxJS discord after a couple days of pounding my head on it. One

The difference is some people were talking a whole lot confidently, and some weren’t.

This is an anti-human ideology as bad as the worst of communism. Humanity only survives as much as it preserves human dignity, let's say. We've designed society to give rewards to people who produce things of value. These companie

Ah yes my favorite was the early covid numbers, some of the "smartest" people in the SF techie scene were daily on Facebook thought-leadering about how 40% of people were about to die in the likely case.

by nwienert 2y ago
I'd guess closer to 10% than 50% do, the more average amount would be closer to 5k/year making the original claim pretty far off.

Genuine question - unless he was directly involved with the genocide, was he not doing the exact same thing the allies were doing? It’s not a war crime to participate in a war for your country. The US bombed German civilians and Japanese ci

First - the average number there is according to Kelly Blue Books "proprietary editorial process", and I have doubts. Given it's spiked in recent years too we can assume that 90% of people today aren't at this new inflat

The average car purchase price in the US is under 34k

by nwienert 2y ago
Yes it does strain believability because it’s far off reality. The average purchase price for a car is about $33.5k in the US. That BMW starts at 47.

by nwienert 2y ago
Not just that but 47 is the average for a new car. Average used is 27. From a cursory look 70% of cars are bought used. So the actual average purchase price is closer to 34.

Who spends 10k/year on a car, that seems incredibly high. Also I'd say most people spend more than 10k/year indirectly on upgrading their health, but I'd count things like "not eating cheap food all the time" a

You can have a low profile and still be a good interviewer and ask good questions. Lex lacks the latter two points, leaving just a terrible show.

You're lucky, I find something like <2% enjoyable to actually give real attention to. For that reason I watch basically 0 TV or movies anymore. And feels like the less I watch, the less I can watch anything without immediately being

I wonder if the same people would argue like this if it was about VPNs - should they be liable and forced to keep logs? Or is this another example of HN's strong anti-crypto bias?

I strongly don't think it's caused by SEO, it's caused by them not liking that having too much reliance on certain sources. There was an update a while back where Wikipedia/Reddit were turned way down suddenly, this is a

I'd argue a much bigger part is their various nerfs. Reddit and SO are barely recommended. Product reviews used to go to higher quality blogs, Reddit, Consumer Reports now are now just all content filler sites. During Trump they decide

But the whole question is posed as a trick question, I’d at least consider it and think it normal for a human to do so.

Safari has been absolutely crushing things in terms of standards and general shipping velocity for nearing on 3 years now. Your comment would be 100% true 3 years ago, but today is basically completely incorrect. A sibling comments corrects
