Absolutely, and having 30+ years of troubleshooting experience on a wide range of hardware and software platforms also help :) It's very inspiring to read about a problem and having the solution explained as matter-of-factly as here.

For as long as I can remember, the best way to get a salary increase/promotion is to find a job in another company. You might get lucky in the current job, but odds are against you.

To me AMP is a way of accessing news that would otherwise be blocked off. Other than that i have no real interest in AMP as an end-user.

This gives a lot of context to the previous Freenode article and the resignations mentioned there. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27153338 Hostile takeovers are almost never a good thing.

Very tempting, but will still hold out for a Ryzen 5000 series laptop, preferably the 5600U/5800U with good battery life and a 15 inch screen. Unfortunately the global chip shortage makes it a long wait.

Always good to hear Corona is becoming less of a threat. While Texas does not yet have the same level of vaccination as the UK, they did lift restrictions before the UK. On the other hand if a country is slow to vaccinate (India, Japan), th

Your point about the lab is great, it's just very hard to dismiss the idea that a lab error was at fault. But i too think it all too likely that we won't be any wiser about the origins. Though it would be great if a timeline could

My thought as well, the third gives the impression that the person answering doesn't care much for the question.

Not a native speaker, but 1) and 2) seem equal, while 3) somehow gives the impression that you don't really care about answering the question. In danish the word "Ligeglad" is the state of mind for 3).

Admittedly English is not my primary language, but "She would have had to have been being watched" seems to be a construct used in a class, but not something you would hear in day-to-day English.

The Making of Prince of Persia and Karateka books by Jordan Mechner are also very good.

If you follow the notion that extroverts talk a lot, then by definition an introvert is the opposite. My own interpretation is that introverts focus on getting things done, which is just a lot easier to do without distractions, e.g. away fr

Yes it doesn't look good for Japan which also have one of the oldest populations in the world. In Denmark the English B.1.1.7 variant needed about 3 weeks to become dominant, though it's a bit unclear which variant will become the

Also, how long will it take to build and how much will it cost? :) This is where Agile ought to improve things, but then SAFE came along and we were back to square one.

That makes a lot of sense, let's hope that most of the people can turn Israel towards a lasting peace.

This is the key issue at hand, science has made us understand the virus and science has provided working vaccines. Politics decide when a country/state gets to remove restrictions, this is where the heated arguments begin.

Which leads to huge arguments which really benefits nobody as we just establish that we disagree. Common sense seems to say that masks make s difference, but if that is the strongest argument, then why not let people decide for themselves u

In Denmark there were news stories about the real name of the AZ vaccine, just about the same time the bloodclot issue appeared. I don't know anyone who uses the name Vaxzevria instead of the Astra Zeneca vaccine or just AZ. The UK is

I'm not sure what this insistence on trying to separate the government from the people in Israel brings to the discussion. By the way Israel has normalized relations with three Arab countries, the last agreement made in 2020. Unfortuna

Palestinians are predominantly Arab and Sunni Muslims. The conflict is with Israeli Jews which is the largest ethnic group in Israel.

Yes kudos to America for actually having an effective rollout, even with all the Trump drama. There are also many diverse ways the individual states have handled restrictions, it will be interesting to see if some consensus will be reached

Well put and my thoughts exactly. Hacker News is a great place for all kinds of information and great discussions too. Let's try and keep it that way.
