Why would you hate spending 1 month out of 4 for “planning” and then 40% of the time in the remaining 3 months also for “planning” resulting in a massive destruction of productivity all so you can now claim that “yeah, you delivered a fract

Here’s a small sample of reasons. Take your pick: 1. Evergrande declaring bankruptcy in New York. 2. Evergrande shares opening for trading in Hong Kong after a year and a half and plummeting by nearly 90%. 3. Country Garden posting massive

This sounds a lot more like a govt bringing up the US bogeyman like Imran Khan did in Pakistan than the U.S. actually doing anything.

One of the interesting things in this study is that the mean symptoms of depression kept increasing between the ages of 10 to 14, but then dropped dramatically at the age of 16. That seems odd when compared to the American experience at lea

I’m not against YT premium, but wouldn’t a better choice be to give the people you’re learning from money instead?

I suspect the people who are looking for jobs (and based on a recent AskHN about whether people were finding jobs, it seems there’s a lot of such people, including, unfortunately, people who were sounding absolutely frustrated) are not sick

True. Premature deaths and sickness are all made up. /sarcasm You can argue that these numbers are invalid but the idea that literally killing people and making them sick is made up is ridiculous.

The good thing is that change is happening. There is a lot of improvement and we’ve cut the correlation between growth and emissions. The bad part is that it’s happening way too slow because of a lack of collective action as you suggest. I

Why do you think people will build houses with no street space? Anyways it’s not like street space will suddenly be turned over from the govt to private builders, but even if it was private land why wouldn’t they build land with enough spac

> This has led to a monoculture where questioning popular frameworks like React is heretical. If that was the case we wouldn’t have the other problem we have on the front end. A million and 1 different web frameworks.

It’s like how scammers deliberately put spelling and grammatical mistakes in their scam emails. It helps filter only the most gullible.

And to the extent it’s true it’s because they’ve been allowed to circumvent laws that were deliberately setup to limit the number of cabs on the street, and by flooding those streets with Ubers and Lyfts there’s a lot of research that shows

This attitude is even worse in an article that points to an Indian city that has made great progress and says it can make even more progress if given more autonomy, and then points to quotes about the decrepit ness of a Chinese and an Ameri

Umm, I’m pretty sure all of them are in much better shape than India’s cities. I mean, skid row in LA, arguably one of the worst places in a U.S. city, isn’t even half as bad in terms of decrepitness and lack of infrastructure as Dharavi in

I disagree with the OP big time. A single currency has benefits (ease of transactions across the globe, elimination of currency risk, etc) but it also has significant downsides, as we saw during the 2007+ financial crisis where countries li

No, they really didn’t. One could reasonably argue that in some cases they were stretching the meaning of a rule, but they didn’t just arbitrarily ban users. Heck, if there was one thing the Twitter Files actually showed it was the massive

That’s not the only relevant number because we know what tech has been over the past 2 decades. It’s been an effort to build non competitive monopolized markets. That’s what Uber is, that’s what the delivery services are, that’s what AirBNB

Isn’t that the case now because setting up a private cloud is complicated and expensive? If setting up a private cloud was as easy as running a couple of scripts making it easily accessible to a small business without a large dedicated IT d

There are a ton of dev tools that are Linux/Mac only. MS didn’t rewrite Windows internals to support WSL for the love of open source. They did it because most dev work happens on Linux (and now macs). Macs get to use that for free. Mic

by rhaway84773 3y ago
The primary reason macs are popular for development is that they’re Unix based. Even Docker, for example, runs natively on Linux and Macs and doesn’t on Windows (or didn’t initially at least…heck it wasn’t even available on Windows for many

React is ridiculously hard to “self learn”. Not because React is necessarily confusing, but because React docs are extremely confusing and the transition from class components to function hook based components means you can search for a pro

by rhaway84773 3y ago
But it does reflect so much that’s wrong with the React development. Creating a first class hook whose only purpose is to wrap another first class hook, all so you can pass in a function rather than a function that returns a function.

Isn’t this so much broader? And I think it’s a much underdiscussed driver of inflation, which might not even be showing up in statistics. Before Uber you still had cabs that took you from place to place. The difference was you probably had
