You can have that now if you subscribe to Kagi but it costs money to operate and use. So without advertising you're choosing to make it impossible for poorer people to search.

Who is paying for Google to run the search system or maps in this world?

Directories would be advertising. All your proposing is a world where first comer world by default have a stranglehold on the market. It's a dystopia. Outside I can agree with and prefer Billboard free areas but you choose it online.

I'm a new business. How do people know I exist to choose me over the incumbents?

He's a SV/SF investor who basically just invests in tech. His returns are about the same as QQQ which makes sense. If he's getting valuable inside information from Nancy to help his trading he's not using it well.

That's not what that says at all. It says that the language was slightly different depending on the platform. Microsoft basic wasn't the first basic interpreter which is a different claim than Microsoft basic source was copied fro

People here see ads regularly which is how hn pays the bills. YC hiring posts and company launches are all paid ads in the sense that being allowed to post them is why YC funds hn.

So been here slightly longer and the only shift I can recall is a shift away from business to tech. Early days had a lot more discussion about the business side of startups and vc. Then it started shifting more towards tech too the point no

It wouldn't be that widely distributed the majority will be in Florida and Arizona if the snowbirds look elsewhere. Border cities used to cross border shopping trips will also be impacted. I would be surprised if the drop is that low

I've found cursor to be kind of bad at any larger chunks of code but useful for saving me typing by being very good at guessing the next line or two. It's also much better than me at html/CSS so I can say"create a layout

The tool currently being bad doesn't matter to the argument of whether or not they make devs dumb.

I'm not arguing LLMs currently generate great code. My argument is that it doesn't matter to the assertion that they make devs dumb. Tools being bad currently doesn't matter just like compilers being bad in the past doesn&#x2

You're trying too hard to argue here. Every 5 years or so of my career something new has come out to make coding easier and every time a stack of people like yourself come out to argue it's making devs dumb or worse. LLMs still ge

And C compilers have bugs too earlier ones a lot more though thankfully we are now several decades into their development.

My C compiler has been generating assembly code for me for 30 years. And people were saying the same thing even earlier about how compilers and HLLs made developers dumb because they couldn't code in asm.

Not true. "On August 15, 2010, an anonymous hacker exploited a critical vulnerability in Bitcoin, allowing them to generate 184.467 billion Bitcoin."

EVs have heavier batteries and ICEs have heavier engines and drivetrains. Go compare two similar models at most brands and the curb weight will be within 50-100kg. Add in a full tank of gas to the ICE and the will likely weigh about the s

I have a feeling the QoL for the wealthy in America will stay pretty similar to today even if it drops off a cliff for everyone else

If you're spending $5m on a visa you'll be able to afford similar services on both sides. A regular gardener, a regular cleaner and a laundry service are all affordable by the upper middle class in America let alone the rich. If

Anyone paying $5m for a gold card will have a higher standard of living in the US than Thailand or Vietnam. Even if you make just a bit above the US average salary your life will be better in the US than Thailand at least. In Thailand fro

Yeah, they are doing less than 1 transaction per week per ATM. There is no way that can be a profitable business accounting for costs of the ATMs and rent.

Autocomplete on steroids is what I use it for. I've recently started using Cursor and the productivity improvements have been huge. I won't let it write very large blocks of code but I do a lot of web stuff so being able to update

I've recently started using cursor and I pretty much just use it as a smart autocomplete. Having seen the larger blocks of code generated I certainly wouldn't trust it to generate most of a program. This sounds more like a PEBKAC

Depends on the day and how much time I have but on the low end if I make everything around $20-30(aud) and high end if I order takeaway for lunch and dinner probably around $80-100(aud) though I do that rarely these days.

Why does removing two seperate buttons to flush a toilet make sense to you? I grew up in Canada which always had one before moving to England in the early 2000s where I first encountered two buttons and thought it was weird but 25 years la
