When FB took it's huge hit I saw people using MANGA. But again if we drop the N...not great.

I think it's wildly optimistic to say there's a strong public opinion we should protect the environment. What people mean when they say they support that, in my opinion, is that we shouldn't cut down some trees far away that

It’s also a real phenomena right. Company not just growing but exploding, times are bountiful, extra heads get hired.

They are real time forums and way more. Just without search, like the other poster mentioned.

It’s one of dozens and dozens of these technology paths branching out before us that seems somehow both obvious and not yet ready. Any day now we’ll have self driving cars, the metaverse, cryptocurrencies, robots doing chores…there are all

I’ve always thought this is just some people being incapable of processing what’s happening in their own head. They have an “inner monologue” of some sort, they just don’t understand what is being referred to.

Comparing the WP to Twitter is laughable. Twitter is so core to modern tech and the modern internet some people argue it should be public infrastructure. Although Bezos saved it, WP is one of many floundering newspapers, a dead format.

Results would also become an absolute cesspool. Say what you want about how they are now, but if the people gaming it could see the exact rules, it would become completely useless.

Mellosouls posted a link to a toxic source, and the article doesn’t even have anything in it except empty speculation based on nonsense. Brutal. Either the psyops have reached HN or the level of intellectual honesty about these topics is tr

Both sides eat their own. It’s a result of social media cancel culture, which both sides engage in. No moderate opinions allowed anywhere. The right constantly rejects people who aren’t extreme enough. “Rino” is a huge term now.

Even introducing the the pandemic and inflation into it at all seems off base to me. There simply isn't an infinite number of people in the world who have the time, money, and broadband access to watch Netflix. They're nearing or

It feels like 90% of the products I use these days I find myself asking, “did they even try using their own thing?” All these steps, all these weird one-offs, for my dead-simple, totally average idiot use case?

I think it’s mostly the people. They are die hard about their culture. At most of my workplaces, culture is generic and the company would be willing to set whatever culture rules seemed to work.

Although sometimes it throws up an obscure clip with maybe 100k-400k views, something random but strangely delightful that it is funneling attention to. And everyone in the comments is new to it, saying “the algorithm brought me here”. I’ve

Agreed. This is a problem of scale in my opinion. When we have 10 engineers, it is easy to check in with everyone and know what they are working on and get a status update. When we have 500 engineers, making sure all their tasks are alignin

pwru ( https://github.com/cilium/pwru ) is a fun new tool from the Cilium folks for tracing network packets in the kernel. Like tcpdump but you can trace the full path of the packet including kernel syscalls. Lets you de

That doesn't ring true to me at all. In aggregate, the opinions of professional critics always push me towards better movies or tv shows. Go watch some of the best rated movies of the year on Rotten Tomatoes by critics, then the best r

I think the world we live in today, being civilized as opposed to jungle living, is much more ambiguous. Our brains are not tuned for it.

I see how low interest rates increase demand. But in my opinion the lack of supply is a much bigger issue. Most people have most of their net worth in their homes, and spend their political will ensuring nothing new is built. That and relat

By 2014 BTC had already gone up from $0.0000000001 or something like that to $30. To be conservative you could use the early exchange prices of $0.10 or so. Do the math. It was blowing up way before Tether. Yes, Tether is one of the biggest

Doesn’t quite ring true to me. Bitcoin was blowing up in price way before Tether came around. Although the Tether setup is shady, it’s not propping up Bitcoin. I would rather say that when Bitcoin falls next (it does in cycles) then Tether

Yes unless something has changed with the root issue, zoning laws, prices will probably continue to rise.

The “No” is a terrible way to converse. Condescending about a nuanced topic, also not great. Their logic is that when you raise wages, you will attract more workers. This is probably true. Seeing high wages, workers may choose that field ea

You need to convince the consumer not to collect something for free they’ll just never use or throw out. It’s human nature, free stuff is rare. So it works.

My partner has used an EMR called Epic in her work and it, like all EMRs it seems, is trash. Government protections and a moat of network effects, they’re untouchable.

Distributing it to everyone is a marketing tactic. I’ve seen other projects consider this - you airdrop every single wallet on Ethereum some of your token and voila, “users”. It is not benevolent, it is a tactic to draw people in.

The lack of planning reeks of overconfidence. Being in that clique you’re almost guaranteed endless investment money and a huge valuation. In addition andreesen and Altman and their ilk must have been feeling very old and outdated not be
