The interpretation and case law surrounding executive powers is not nearly as logical and black and white as the article implies. Elon Musk is obviously working under the direction of the president, and is appointed by him. The fact that he

Are you disenchanted with technology , or disenchanted with being a wage-slave code-monkey following orders and shipping crap software to make shareholders rich? I only ask because I wasted too long confusing the two.

Agree. No code standards is a red flag. It betrays a lack of leadership and efficiency. It means the person in charge either doesn't enforce standards, or doesn't see the value in them.

You may be interested to know MIT did a project called ["The Billion Prices Project"]( https://thebillionpricesproject.com ) to scrape the web and calculate CPI. Sorry to all the tinfoil hats, it closely matched official

I feel incredibly privileged to have experienced the birth of the Web, at ground zero. I remember a world without it. The developments of the last few decades have been nothing short of science fiction becoming reality.

Same thought. Pylon is exactly this but in a polished SaaS app.

Yes, I feel the same way. Anything less than having the compiler/interpreter automatically resolve `import <URL>` is idiotic and a massive waste of everyone's time. "Modules" are a stupid over-engineered concept th

For most people y > x. You're choosing what posts to see even if the feed is chronological. For a chronological feed, x is the most recent posts you happen to see when checking your feed reader. And x will skew towards people who po

Maybe. Or it could get worse. We put communist sympathizers in jail in the past. We imprisoned 100k innocent Japanese US citizens in concentration camps. Instead of rolling the ban back this could be the first event in a new kind of McCarth

I didn’t expect HN to be full of bootlicking fascists totally fine with censorship as long as the bogeyman is China. Red panic is back. I’d be careful honestly.

I’m honestly surprised at how many HN’ers are fine with totalitarianism as long as the bogeyman are Chinese.

What do you mean national security risk? What risk to whom, exactly? Do you mean that the algorithm can portray communism or China in a positive light? Can you provide an example video that constitutes this threat?

Link a video. What is the alleged propaganda that is so threatening to national security Americans can't be allowed to see it? In the article, this discussion, all the media I've read... I've yet to see a single example of th

I wake up without alarm between 6 and 7. For the next few hours I sit and enjoy coffee. Some days I take my kid to preschool or make him breakfast if my wife is busy.

This is the only reason I use iTerm2. I can view the terminal full screen while also instantly switching to the browser or other windows, without the animation.

I don’t use autocomplete for the same reason I use a single monitor: Distraction. And I’ve noticed my co-workers who use IDEs and multiple monitors are no more productive.

Has your manager actually told you you aren't delivering fast enough? Or is that just a perception you have? If you're not involved in the sizing or estimation then don't commit to any dates and don't bow to any pressure

Seems to me you’re talking about measuring software. Once we pick a measure though, we can calculate output/input (productivity). Imagine two people tasked with producing the same software, or software satisfying the same requirements

Is ~2200 calories a caloric deficit for Bryan Johnson's size and activity level? If you're not in caloric deficit you won't really feel bad if you're hitting macros.

I don’t know your situation but for me everything changed once my child could speak and started going to preschool (so I got a break). The fall-in-love-with-child phenomenon didn’t happen to me until my child was around 3-1/2

Comparative advantage only works without trade barriers, and when the USA has something people want to import cheaper than elsewhere. The USA doesn’t have competitive exports. The USA is the largest net importer. By an order of magnitude. T

US will unwind like all declining empires in history have. The rich will move their wealth out of the currency while the currency is debased via inflation (the debt will be "monetized" in contemptory econspeak). It's already

If you remove non-industrial and financial activity from US GDP, the economic picture is bleak. US and G7 have been steadily deindustrializing while BRICS have been doing the opposite. US GDP is misleading in the sense that it increasingly

Nationalize the company and return all profits to the taxpayers. For national security. But that would be crazy! Too socialist. We can’t have that kind of authoritarianism. Only the kind that subsidizes shareholders and CEOs.

For newborns I don’t think you need a manual. The baby sucks on moms tit, sleeps, and cries for a year. No blood, fever, or discoloration? Don’t worry about it too much otherwise see the doctor. Do your vaccinations and check-ups. Once they
