You mean virtue signaling with the sign flipped?

Or the manufacturers just run what look exactly like traditional dealerships, just without the stupid crap that no customers want. It can’t be that hard or expensive. It’s a parking lot and a small office building.

They already literally review on a case by case basis regardless of country of origin. Providing evidence of financial support is a big part of visa and green card applications.

The U.S. already does this. Providing evidence of financial support is a big part of visa and green card applications. If this is a big problem, it's because the U.S. is approving applications without sufficiently reviewing that eviden

U.S. citizens are already routinely affected by supposed efforts to detain illegal immigrants.

It continues to be clear that the administration opposes legal immigration (except perhaps in narrow cases, like white South Africans).

"Bar" is certainly the catch-all term in the U.S., but "pub" is also very widely understood to refer to a specific type of bar, especially (but not limited to) bars deliberately styled as Irish or British pubs.

The transitive nature of dependencies makes fund allocation extremely wonky. Say you have Next.js as a dependency in your package.json file? How many dependencies does Next.js itself have? What portion of your funds go to Next.js versus all

It's kinda funny. There is a popular claim that goes something like "silence or inaction is implicit support for the status quo." The point is that there's not really such a thing as "not taking sides." I don&#

Yes, shame on them for only making good decisions now, instead of in the future.

It's a common source of off-by-one date formatting bugs in client-rendered web apps, particularly ones that pass around "YYYY-MM-DD" date strings (common for OpenAPI JSON APIs). const dateStringFromApiResponse = "202

I agree with the "don't break the web" design principle, but I sometimes disagree with precisely where TC39 draws the line. There is obviously a cost to breaking old, unchanging websites. But there's also a cost to allow

This article lists several of the absurdities of the Date constructor, but only barely touches on the most unforgivable one. The example from the article is: // Unless, of course, you separate the year, month, and date with hy

It's perfectly reasonable to default seconds, minutes, hours, etc. to zero in the Duration constructor. But for Instant, it doesn't make sense to default those to zero unless you specify time zone offset . And indeed, the static

That’s not at all why I bought Tailwind Plus. I bought it (at work) to have a solid collection of typical components and UI patterns, mostly expertly designed with a lot of attention to detail, to use as inspiration and as a shared language

Job is mentioned in Ezekiel in the Old Testament and in James in the New Testament. Jonah is mentioned in 2 Kings in the Old Testament, and several times in the New Testament.

The term "anecdotal evidence" is used as a criticism of evidence that is not gathered in a scientific manner. The criticism does not imply that a single sample (a car making a lap in 3 minutes) cannot be used as valid evidence of

I was lumping all of those into "ethics," which refers to all normative questions (or questions about "ought"s, if you like).

by tshaddox 10mo ago
Presumably there are a lot of atheists who do believe all three of these things: 1. God does not exist. 2. Objective ethics do exist. 3. Objective ethics do not come directly from the mandate of a friend, a companion, or another human.

I don’t think that a game involving uncontroversial facts about the history of politics (e.g. “guess the U.S. President") would be banned under HN’s rules either.

Proverbs and Psalms are both in the same section (wisdom), which is one of the very few mechanics the game has to help you narrow things down.

Took me 5 guesses, only after guessing 4 other Old Testament books from 4 different categories (major prophets, wisdom, law, and history). Definitely a pretty challenging one.

I can’t imagine what you mean by “each time you’ve been pressed.” Are you perhaps confusing me with other people you’re arguing with? But no, VHS tapes are not factors of production. That’s a term with a widely understood definition, and li

And it can’t be prepaid plans, at least with Verizon when I tried that 2 years ago.

There’s no hypocrisy, of course. VHS tapes are not factors of production, which is the universe of discourse here.

The term has been generalized in economics to refer to more cases than just rent paid to live on or farm a piece of land.

But again, I don't think we're talking about a concerted effort to manipulate prices. We're talking about the effect that particular marginal buyers just so happen to cause.
