Turns out the policeman who died was from a stroke, he wasn't hit with a fire extinguisher. Doesn't fit the narrative either.

If rpis had m2 built into the card it would be the premier ARM platform right now. Its so fast many people could use as their main desktop.

To me its crazy too about how the rioters in the Capitol are rightly prosecuted, but the riots in Portland Federal Courthouse as still going on and nytimes wont even mention it. EDIT: I hate bringing politics on HN, but cnn/nytimes hav

I agree, but it seems success is highly correlated with ability to bullsh*t. From school essays all the way to CEOs. If you can bluff your way with long stories, spew buzzwords continual assertions, and talk louder than everyone you seem to

It would be nice to see more details about salaries. Its hard enough to know pay rates in your own city. I have no idea if Finland pays enough to make it worth it. Language is a big issue too, are they all English speaking offices?

I think this was the conclusion from the Sony hack (2014- wow nearly 7 years already). People were scared of cloud security but Sony showed that on prem isn't any better.

Agreed, but that is like 0.1% of all people.

That doesn't sound right. 1080p60 should only take about 10 Mbps. Gaming should not require much signal. 4k video does take more.

Its interesting I had a friend who got pregnant at University. I thought it would be ruinous to their career but maybe its a better solution. When she was 40 her child was already an adult and she could fully concentrate on working.

In Europe its pretty normal to have one child. It seems only in America people aspire to have 2, 3, even 4 kids.

I like the idea of substack, but realistically the most popular journalists will be the ones with the biggest stunts and clickbait. I just want a plain newspaper that does a lot of good reporting without getting too political, seems too muc

By definition the median investor makes what the total market return is. Something like VTI is up 25% since Jan 1 2020. If tech investors outperformed a lot, there are lots of boomers who haven't kept up.

Surely this is good. The long term inhabitants get to stay at a cheap rate, the newcomers have to pay a premium. NYC works in a similar way. The only difference is new construction, are new buildings controlled as well or free to charge wha

One thing that always bothers me about BTC is that the whole blockchain is kept, its like half a terabyte by now. Will they ever agree to just trim off everything older than XXX days or similar? It seems hugely inefficient.

Its quite amazing that he's an experienced journalist and he knows its worth publishing your own work directly because you know journalists will subjectively misquote you. Its a good lesson.

Yeah I could never afford to do a Masters or PhD where those people now seem to be doing extra well.
