That's surprising for me - my memory of it was that ball points were just plain safer as a 3rd / 4th grade kid using them. Fountain pens on the other hand were expensive, messy (they can leak in your pocket, you have to refill the

I feel like I’ve read articles about birds feet not getting cold from four different sources (Reddit, YT, Twitter and now HN) in the past week. Why is everyone suddenly so interested in birds?

Can't you do worse things if you have >50% hash power? It seems like DoS is pretty mild all things considered.

This is a really nice idea but considering we haven't even solved the relatively simple case of users giving permissions to apps and expecting them to behave responsibly, I'm not optimistic that we can solve the much more challeng

Man, you're really getting the short end of the stick here - it's actually pretty surprising because even though the forum is tech heavy, you wouldn't expect this much hate on consulting as a business model. Outliers like the

I think it'll be more like Jassy saying: Dave (Clark), make sure retail top-line grows x%, profitability grows y% and keep an eye on Walmart.

I was just sort of following the whole circus without any interest (maybe a slight short interest even) and even I'm really angry at how this has been done. Absolutely disgusting, people need to go to jail for this, you can't get

That is a real stretch. Plenty of people have lost fortunes on /r/wsb using robinhood without anything of note happening.

I think this has been the standard approach for all e-ink displays that have been floating around (both homemade and commercial). So, yeah, I appreciate it but it's not specifically innovative in this regard.

Yeah that's fair. I think I need some concrete data before making statements like these - In absolute numbers, Millenials haven't been hitting the financial milestones that their parents did (incomes, home ownership %, retirement

Along this note, the new generational warfare is Gen Z vs Millenials. Gen Z posters are mostly tired of the millenial narrative of boo-hoo the system is rigged, I'm so poor, why won't someone give me free stuff and it's a mem

You should really investigate your biases if the first thought that comes to your mind is that Google chose flock because it thinks customers are sheep.

It'll eventually become the default. Every single new fridge will have a display. And that display will have ads.

So no one has said this yet, but a lot of people charge their cars at work. I don't know if you're in the US but in my experience this seems like a east coast phenomenon. Lots of electric chargers in bay area, seattle and generall

Are these downloadable? Just clicking through didn't seem to have any download links available. For context, I've been trying to learn color theory and put it into practice in photography. One of the things you could do to train y

On an unrelated note, the older I get, the more it amazes me that there are so many ways to make a living in the world. Every day I discover a little part of the economy where people are not doing something bog standard and yet can make end

I think what you're missing is that FB does employ an army of content moderators to decide if something passes their bar or not. And these are low wage, button clicking jobs along the lines of the AWS mechanical turk where without very

The big problem here is that writing a regulation that decides what's okay / not okay on a platform (either by the platform itself or by a govt) is basically impossible. Any sort of you-shalt-not-serve-this-content type of ruleboo

It was mostly a thought exercise - I'm just kind of weird in that I like setting up and configuring servers so I'd like to take a stab at it depending on what HN says - just to keep myself sharp. Auth0 is new, thanks! I'm che

Do angry responses mean anything? It's always been the other way round - China does something messed up and the world leaders would give out angry speeches and life would go on without much change. Let them have a dose of their own med

You say this after the president of the United States has incited a seditious, violet mob to attack the Capitol because he's a sore loser. There are many examples you can pick if you want to point out bias in media, day before yesterda

There's a lot of bots doing arbitrage between exchanges though. If one diverges significantly from the other, the bots will eat up the difference, I don't think you can make any claims about where the demand is coming from based o

That's a bit handwavey. Experience plays a part here and I've at least never seen a scaling issue where the root cause is not some form of API latency. Most of the raw HTML generation, rendering is done by frameworks and browsers

Does it change meaningfully under load? As long as the API p50 / p95 latencies are what you expect, the HTML generation / rendering is rarely a problem.

I'm actually curious about why it makes sense to load test an entire web UI (which is what this post seems to be suggesting). In my experience, it was enough to load test individual back end APIs to figure out load profile for each API

Have to disagree almost entirely. Any big tech co worth its salt acknowledges the outsized impact a single engineer can make and rewards them appropriately. The important thing here is defining "impact" and "influence".
