I love this condescending and infantilising tone of yours, regarding African governments as some gullible, uneducated bunches of toddlers that anyone can just walk in and take advantage of - as if they weren’t perfectly capable of signing t

Unnecessary and unusual defined by whom? It’s okay to talk about anything on social media. It’s an important topic that he is shedding light on.

Would his side of the story matter to you? I don’t think it’s a particularly nuanced point to you since you’ve already made up your mind, however ignorant it might be.

What do you know about Putin’s motives? What propaganda do you think you’re under? You’re probably smart enough to understand that out of spite and regret of your country’s history with the Russians your countrymen have more motivation than

Why? He’s not the one making claims. Do you have any idea how this works?

I’d bet good money on you being wrong. Want to do $1k? We can use a trusted middleman and perform deposits or whatnot.

Can you point out any of his lies?

I don’t think Putin is the epitome of evil that the west portray him to be either. War is hell and he surely started the larger scale war, but just remember that you’ve probably been introduced to less than 1% of his side of things as a wes

They absolutely do. What are you even saying?

That looks like some very lazy criticism. Care to provide contradicting studies?

My parent was somehow dedicating more empathy towards single-man operations than large companies, and I aimed to tone that sentiment down.

Tell that to everyone who got laid off this year - they’ll love to hear your take.

Evidence [0][1] suggests that the fructose in honey acts differently from fructose in table sugar, and seems to have some unexplained metabolic benefits. [0] https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12421854/ [1] https:/&

I suppose you can exclude metabolically unhealthy people from the span of my advice. To be fair, the diabetes was probably caused by not following my advice in the first place too.

Highly dependent on where your ancestors have lived, but in my case they’ve probably got along with meat and potatoes since no fruit really grows here. Maybe my body is somehow less prepared to handle fructose than someone with roots in sou

I don’t think you’re overreacting if you think any invention newer than 100 years has a high probability of being detrimental to our nature in some way.

Carbs are essential for good health and any sort of exercising. Why would someone want to avoid carbs entirely? Artificial sweeteners will only put you in an early grave. Why eat anything processed or artificial when better alternatives exi

Sure, it just doesn’t have the health disadvantages of the alternatives. It might even be good for you.

Eating fruit and honey alone for anything “sweet” has worked great for me. Never get any cravings for anything else. It seems to me like these things truly are the carb sources we are “meant” to eat.

Why use artificial sweeteners in the first place? Honey is a great sweetener.

Who cares. When the first silver bullet tech that appeases his requirement comes along, my blog post will require 100x improvements in productivity, reliability, and simplicity.

At a quick glance the sentiment that the market being flush with newer developers would somehow automatically lead to a dip in technical advancements in the near future seems completely made up. I'd believe it to be the opposite, frank

Nobody is exploiting you. Get that toxic mindset out of your head and you'll be happier and better off. Quit your job today and start providing a service for other people if that's what you will. Another thing, 3 hours a day spent

I believe you’re mixing up two people here, since the comment you replied to here was the only one I made in this chain thus far. What you describe in this comment is the exact same thing I’ve heard from my co-worker about this topic, howev

Moore’s law is a thing yes, but in the real world, power consumption and heat dissipation issues seem to be the actual constraints rather than transistor counts. Vertical scaling is of course possible, but it’s not really useful for driving

Leave the quips out of HN comments as per the commenting guidelines. As for your actual question, the internet is full of free knowledge. Many employers give employees a budget for self development and learning as well, but honestly, learni

It’s no secret that higher pixel counts are harder to achieve since computational power required grows approximately quadratically while GPU and CPU power improvements are more linear.

I’m not sure what you mean by reductive in this case. 90% of kids’ plays are crap while 90% of Broadway shows are crap, with no need to compare those two domains.

What’s the solution to the problem you paint? I’m that person. I think an office is a place where people come do their work in the same way a construction site is. Another child offered the point of view that hybrid models are the worst of
