I think jitsi as a service is not free. So Brave is at least covering the cost of leveraging the service.

It’s good to preemptively build housing for over a billion people. America should learn a thing or two from that (as we squabble for basic properties).

Their bigger goal was to annotate everything, speeches, congressional bills, etc. I believe one of their founders spazzed out on Vyvanse once (or that’s what he blamed it on): https://venturebeat.com/2013/05/01&#x2

Labor costs are too high. Look, once you spend decades paying pennies on the dollar for labor, it’s very hard to go back. It’s the same when people discovered free music via p2p and YouTube. How do you dial that back? Nothing short of globa

The hope is the same happens to semiconductor prices and supply. We can never have this happen again.

The watch was never really useful enough. We are plateauing on wearable and mobile device tech atm, and we pretty much need to put all hands on deck to make AR happen.

It’s a sub 500 dollar device aimed at casual users and students. You sound like a power user, you should opt to go for the MacBook Air bare-minimum.

Your role, while technical, seems very much aligned to ad-tech/analytics/analysis. Is that true by any chance? That’s a lot more specialized role that has a lot of value in a variety of industries.

It’s because every generation is very good at teaching the platform of comparison. Take just software developers for a second, we are drowning in the Leetcode unrealistic beauty standard. Young men/woman/teens are comparing and na

My parents keep seeing other people’s kids getting married constantly, and it’s driving them nuts. Also their relatives bought new houses recently. They are obsessed and pretty much make me feel like a loser (or worse, evil for not giving t

This approach does not help when you need to transform data models on the frontend (and possibly send it back). Imagine trying to make sense of: merge(pages.a.section.main.data, pages.a.section.secondary.data) What does that even mean? It’

I think interview feedback does more harm than good to be honest. It puts the idea that your entire life can be judged in 2-3 hours. Like, who the fuck gets to say you did bad behaviorally, or you don’t fit the culture, over a 3 hour meetin

Yeah I noticed this. One interviewer had a very interesting tactic. He had a topic ready that is totally outside of the role you are applying for. He would not bring up the topic immediately, but soon as he decided ‘no’, he sets you up for

I agree people will complain about anything, however, some of those you enumerated are valid complaints. Complaining about the take-home, fizbuzz is a little unreasonable. Complaining about needing a perfect Leetcode medium answer in 30 min

Anecdotal, but somewhere around high school I got robbed (the school was decent, it was just in a tough area). Anyways, I basically spent the last period (last class of the day) in absolute fear. The bell would ring, I’d stick my money in m

Why do you have 45 minutes of math, 45 minutes of English, 45 minutes of etc.? It isn’t just that. Why is it that in the most crucial developmental years of your life you are tasked to learn everything with a bunch of people that are a d

One thing I’ll say is that in America’s somewhat terrible urban schools, the parents are simply less involved in the child’s schooling. There can be any number of reasons, language, shitty job that you have to go to for 10 hours a day, they

What type of evaluation? I feel like the larger states all have standardized testing, so as long as your kid passes the tests each year, you did your job.

The Germans have an excellent saying for these kind of situations: better an horrible end than an horror without end (sorry if my translation isn't accurate). You are the reason I come to HN. Sometimes we know, but few can say it. Th

But what is it that I am fighting against here? Why is my tone a certain way? These people are literally trying to build websites in Rust. Acolytes, cultists.

Memory allocation and garbage collection is a very solved problem unless you are doing highly performant work. We make websites and mobile apps. Get it?

The rule after Dodd-frank is closer to 100% collateral. But sure, the discussion really doesn’t start until we enter this realm, no point over discussing.
