Your last sentence is not mutually exclusive with my statement. Both could be simultaneously true. The sheer number of big company employees compared to hot startup makes it hard for everyone good to get into the startup, especially conside

The implicit promise is only partially true. Very rarely you can find a proven talent that will actually forego significant salary. Often time when that happens the person is close to founders and will have a significant role in shaping th

That's not substantiating your initial goalpost. You suggested Amazon wouldn't make Roombas better simply because they can preferentially sell their products. First, empirically, that is false given all other hardware devices Amaz

You know who else is a monopoly? The Federal government. I have received better treatment from the worst monopoly companies like Comcast etc than the services from the US government.

What’s the basis for this claim except some ideology you possess?

The contradiction is it’s just your opinion where to draw the lines which differs from Elizabeth Warren’s. You think your lines are good and hers are bad. She doesn’t. Many other interested parties would like half of it and want to change t

Not sure I get the joke. MINIX is not building from scratch. It's a serious choice if one needs a microkernel. Hurd is more experimental but still not Amish.

100% this. There are a lot of sans-serifs that are much more prestigious and timeless. Being the default in MSOffice also doesn’t help with professionalism as it makes it even more pedestrian.

Why do you think performance isn't relevant in 2025?

Funny that it keeps getting rediscovered that the statement from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs includes two variables: needs and ability both can and will be reward-hacked.

100% - they quit the much more lucrative WiFi business. The funny thing is the post, the likely the most interested party, who already spent $150+effort on a keyboard with TouchID admitted they are willing to spend $50. Literally the most e

It's so much more fun to use a Mac without TouchID. The whole Safari password autofill experience is much faster and less annoying when you don't have TouchID (does not ask for any approval while you're logged in/Keych

Again, you are assuming a normal situation. The point is the country itself is operating (or has a heavy grip and perhaps even subsidizes) the backend CDN and enforcing that stuff in a rudimentary way. "TLS between backend connections&

This is referring to something else: to detect whether the backend server host itself is inside or outside Iran. TLS doesn't prevent the backend network from reading the URL of course.

Obviously if you want to learn, there has never been as many resources as today for free with YouTube and other stuff. College remains only relevant for the piece of paper and networking and the four-year party experience.

This is very context-dependent. Since it's PayPal we are talking about, it seems reasonable they err on the side of stringent in some cases.

Probably tripping some client fingerprinting/fraud detection system because it thinks of it as an anomaly mistaking it for a bot or something. Unlikely to be intentional malice against Asahi users.

IRGC is a bunch of oligarchs who operate for their individual interests. It’s not as much of a unified entity as you’d imagine. It’s a vehicle for corruption.

Sure, one can debate this ad nauseam. I would even concede that on average , BBC is perhaps more reliable than Arab News. However, if your standard is ArabNews not OK because Saudi government funds it, but BBC OK, you might just as well sa
