China is giant and sprawling and they are able to do it. That said this reply doesn’t actually address much of what the article talks about, most interestingly how rail companies are private and are also real estate developers. That thought

Hating Palantir without having any idea of what they are is the trendy thing to do. Their leaders are toxic which doesn’t help the case, but the core issue really is just that in this political climate, people all over the western world don

I for one am not shedding tears about being able to waste less time with SOC 2 drudgery that doesn’t even make organizations secure.

I broadly agree with this, it really is all about trust. Just, as a company scales it’s hard to make sure that everybody in the team remains trustworthy – it isn’t just about personality and culture, it’s also about people actually having t

Lol so instead of paying maintainers who already built the thing you want, we instead charge you to use AI to make countless copies of maintainers’ work and direct the profits back to the maintainers? That sounds like true satire.

Actually it does harm people. High speed traffic is noisy and unpleasant, flows unpredictably, and tears up roads faster.

One time when I was living in Shanghai, I accidentally took the train to the wrong airport and had to take a cab to the other one. The cabbie was driving on the highway right at the speed limit, and I was worried I wouldn’t make my flight.

Yeah, I am American but my wife is Japanese and she found it irritating and inexplicable that my friends and I would interrupt each other while talking. This number probably varies significantly by culture.

Like it or not, if people who aren't big brained HN genius hackers like yourself do reckless things with powerful technology, like a stupid teenager killing someone's baby by running them over with an e-bike at max speed on a side

So your stance is that anything military-related is immoral?

Well if it requires tampering with the software to do the insecure thing, then it’s presumably your company has a contract in place saying that if they get hacked it’s on them. That doesn’t strike me as just being retarded security theater.

Problem with safari though is that it’s tied to OS updates that many people just defer for insanely long periods of time. So unlike the other browsers, it’s not evergreen, so if you need to support any iOS users or Mac users who don’t use c

Basketball is probably not a great example since just being enormous gives you a huge chance of making it to the NBA, which I guess is just another form of being a prodigy.

I recall being told by an English teacher in high school once that because it was so easy for me to write something passable, I wasn't trying hard enough to write something excellent. Wish he pushed me harder on that.

Yeah, I don't really want to subsidize people to work on open-source shitcoins for example. The devil is in the details here.

My experience is that many Wikipedia place photos are quite ugly.

They’re still filled with motorbikes and mopeds, they’re just electric.

OK, the Former French Concession.

To me, Bangkok feels very much like a developing country. If you go to Chinese cities, the EV adoption has incredible positive effects to the vibe, though. Shanghai’s French concession is so quiet and peaceful now that most cars are EVs.

I take a different approach, I use an email client called Shortwave and configured it to deliver most messages on schedules - once a day, once a week, all at once. And then whitelist certain senders and keywords to deliver immediately. That

As well as auto closed captioning, and commenting, and automatically cutting out filler words and empty silent portions, and auto summarization of the contents, and many other features that I use all the time and find useful. But that’s fin

Fwiw I don’t even think shadcn is good, but our app is built on top of those components already, so we can’t change it without changing everything, so we’re stuck with it.

Not true re #1, yes creating a glut of housing beyond demand in the market would reduce home prices, but other markets like Tokyo that do build a lot of housing still see increasing home values despite stable prices. Land value goes up, but

I agree philosophically though there is a lot that can be done short of upending the entire American wealth structure like removing barriers to housing construction (to dramatically increase supply) as well as subsidizing first time buyers

Citizenship or long term visa would immediately cut out 90% of the foreign speculators I imagine.

Could homeowners be convinced with truckloads of money? As in, yes if you increase density beyond demand the value of each individual home decreases, but the value of the land dramatically increases if suddenly your single family home with

That means the American Dream is unsustainable, and until people can break through the entrenched interests and do something rational, American cities will continue to decline.
