The Lyft service is rock solid, it's just not a very profitable business. That has nothing to do with engineering talent. Engineers need to stop being bitter about others making more money than them and start roasting the business peop

15 years of dominance? Sounds pretty competent at keeping up with market changes. No reason to believe generative AI is an exception.

Ah, classic damned if you, damned if you don't. Search is being ruined by the pursuit of maximizing ad revenue but AI research is being wasted because it's not used in pursuit of maximizing revenue. Can't really win, huh? The

I see it too. I suspect non-Americans consume a lot of US media and as a result feel sufficiently educated but they look just as silly and ignorant as Americans who think Europe is a country.

European media is obsessed with the US and you can quickly tell by talking to anyone from there. If our media covered to the same degree the French torching their cities because they don't want to work, you'd think WW3 is starti

Ironically, I actually also use HN's mobile site not because I'm trying to break my usage of it but because I like opening multiple stories/comments sections in new tabs throughout the day and slowly reading through them when

Reddit's comments are extremely predictable because the popular subreddits have such a homogenous personality. But they've really perfected the outrage machine where once you get hooked on reading through /r/all, it&#x27

I disagree. Apollo on iOS is the most potent drug I've ever consumed. It's a wonderful app (kudos to Christian, it's rare for a one-man show to take the throne in the days of companies giving themselves preferential treatment

If you're struggling with social media addiction, I would recommend deleting the native apps off your phone. The better, smoother UX and faster response time reduces any and all friction. I find that when I have to use the mobile sites

A navy is an effective mobile border when you don't have a Hawaii everywhere. It's easier to defend your castle when your first wall is 2000 miles from your natural border. Plus the best defense is a good offense. Nukes aren'

Are you sure its just the oceans and not the massive navy we have in them?

by pb7 4y ago
EU's safety is the EU's problem. It has long been underinvesting in security hoping that the US would be its bodyguard. Time to see how little money you have left over for social safety nets when you're not buying cheap resou

Why does everyone have to suffer from what happens in your backyard?

We pay good money for that home to be safe, something Europeans constantly chide us for. Maybe Europe shouldn't have been relying on cheap resources.

>I suspect you will find that most workers are better compensated outside the US than in the U.S. Huh? The US has the highest median disposable income in the world[0], let alone tech which blows Europe out of the water even in the lowe

They’re just better hidden in Europe: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_by_... Instead of being in the middle of the city, there are entire tent metropolises hidden in the woods in Berlin.

There is nothing logical about assuming that a high profile person only in town for a few days would get stabbed multiple times randomly in the middle of a wealthy area at 2:30am on a Monday. It can happen, but no assumptions about it are

There is very little incentive for someone to believe that there is a better place to live than the one they're in and all the ego stroking to believe otherwise.

Nowhere on the planet is "perfectly safe" so no one is saying about that SF. Positive sentiment is probably in the middle ground you're asking for, whereas negative sentiment literally uses "dystopian hellhole".

In that case, statistics in all cities should be equally as error prone. Statistics also don't collect how many annoying people are blasting shitty music on subways or how many morons are rolling coal in lifted trucks. There are unplea
