Unfortunately, the labs reside in China. Even if we had hard scientific proof (and consensus, despite many in the scientific community deriving funding from CCP backed sources), it wouldn’t be enough. China would either: 1. Refuse outright

Interesting. But also to GP’s point, I never thought of that perspective. It is quite unsettling to realise the strangeness of odds that it occurred right next to the Wuhan lab...

Most of HN is not qualified either to judge the quality of AI, ML, opsec, renewables or any of a whole host of topics that are actually deeply complex. But that does not mean it does not classify as potentially substantial news, that at lea

Actually, quite a number of places around the world still engage in healthier politics than America. Want to know why America suffers so much from such partisanship and extreme ideologies? It’s your non-mandatory voting. Don’t blame the int

Ironically, having used both, Pulumi’s APIs are much cleaner/simpler than AWS CDK’s. I feel CDK was overengineered when I last used it. Pulumi has been a breath of fresh air.

Be rational and consider all options: 1. The data is accurate and captures all coronavirus cases. 2. The data is not accurate and does not capture all coronavirus cases. I read the entirety of this thread as though HN assumes only 1 is poss

Facebook offers an opinionated, production ready, battle tested framework for bootstrapping a modern React application with tooling/batteries included (with dependencies automatically maintained if you need to version bump to latest vi

Nobody in the world is arguing against the fact that CRA is overkill for a Hello World application. Luckily, that’s not it’s target space. If you engineer frontend applications of even moderate complexity, you will eventually start to pull

If you can manage to remain inside the Expo dev-loop, that personally is my preference for ease and first in class DX. I’ll definitely continue to observe Flutter/Dart, but the investment/payoff doesn’t appear large enough yet for
