What do you mean when you say China fakes its GDP?

What wastage are you referring to specifically?

There's nothing Aussies like more than banning or prohibiting things. It is almost certainly illegal and if it isn't, it will be tomorrow.

Thank you for writing this book and crafting interpreters and making them freely available. They were genuinely enlightening books.

This is true, but in this case it's somewhat warranted. Part of what I like about Figma is that it's browser based and pretty simple. This is in stark contrast to Adobe's products. I really hope this isn't absorbed into

Hilariously ignorant. I've seen steady adoption into businesses like large banks for UX and design work over the last two years, in domains previously dominated by Adobe. This acquisition looks like a defensive one. They are not saving

Looting and burning down the family owned corner store was an amazing moment of restorative justice. We need to fight back against the 'systematic injustice' that uninsured small businesses have wrought onto marginalised communiti

I have been reading news but I am yet to see a law broken by the website, I've seen it claimed but yet to see anything conclusive. I thought asking someone making the claim might be able to provide some evidence. I guess not.

This is pathetic. If this is your rationale for why KF should be denied DDoS protection then I hope you fail. Nothing matters so do what we want. If nothing matters why does it matter if your favourite streamer is killed by a SWAT team, I&#

> I mean, it's embarrassing that GTA V required 5 minutes to parse a simple JSON file for 7 years, but the game sold in 170 million copies regardless. It's because the game was good enough in spite of the tedious load times. I

Your reply is an extremely poor attempt to downplay this. This statement reads like it was lifted from an undergrad essay in a 'critical theory' course. There is so much written but so little said explicitly by design. The purpose

Why would you expect it to be less offensive? They're accusing school officials, teachers, etc. of exposing children to sexually explicit material at too young an age to be ready for it. That's a core component of grooming. Whethe

It's a right wing epithet, a play on 'ok boomer'. It's proven a rhetorically effective insult for teachers/school officials who seem to be obsessed with discussing sex ed with very young children. Now it's bann

You see the assumption is that if you are using Cabbage, you are either learning Csound or you already know it. So Cabbage allows you to sidestep the abysmal arrangement API in Csound for something more intuitive by embedding it in a DAW. B

Unparalleled distribution channels? Windows, Word and Excel are core to almost every business on the planet. I was surprised to see the amount of computing that is done in excel in banks. They can launch half-baked offerings bundled into 36

Having played around with Csound a fair bit, it has some pretty good functions for creating instruments and sounds but the API for arranging in it is genuinely horrible to use. Sticking the Csound guts in a plugin and arranging in a DAW mak

This is what's so good about hacker news, morons that enjoyed the book can learn how deficient their minds are at grasping complex ideas in comparison to intellectual heavyweights such as yourself.

> Crypto is successful at being money. If you don't believe me, then I'm happy to sell you the laptop I'm writing this on for 1,000 ETH instead of 1,000 USD. Utterly absurd and yet even still seems to make the exact opposi

Government funding built it would be more appropriate. Government agencies (outside of intelligence) are usually bereft of technology competency.

Weren't the terms used to connote alliance with the US (first world) or the USSR (second world) and third world meant non-aligned?

While the original post borders on a cliche at this point, the criticism seems to be correct in this case. Equalising math outcomes by destroying math education for the gifted is akin to levelling wealth by destroying all the houses.

Twitter is full of trolls, disinformation and calls to violence against people at this very moment.

Your retort is the most common one to criticism of web3 and crypto. The only reason people criticise it is because they don't own it. Surely then you'll admit the only reason people are proponents of it is because they do own it?

People who don't know what firmware is don't care about this. Even people who do don't care. I showed this to my brother who is both a switch owner and works in tech. He didn't care. If the device works and lets them pla

I would choose reducing real harm caused by the actual distribution of abuse material (anyone can be abused in this way even in marginalised communities) if the only cost was potentially chilling the distribution of trans-oriented adult con

I have to say this explanation is plainly wrong and ironically for a piece about discovering ones Chinese identity reads as an extremely American view the Chinese economy. The Chinese economy is not growing at a 'blistering pace'
