As I tried to point out, a mere fact that someone is suing someone is not enough to conclude anything about which side is right; that’s why I was asking someone who seemed to have more context. I’m not sure why people are reading too much i

Thank you, this is important context I was not aware of, although to be fair, these events happened 10 years prior to the new case.

You may well think so, but I was asking an honest question. I don’t think it’s distasteful to doubt any allegations, esp. when missing some context, in this case, 10 years old judgement against B&H.

Could you please clarify what do you think is horrible? Anyone can sue anyone in the US, for any reason, and allege a lot of bad things. It also true that cost of litigation is often much, much higher than a settlement - e.g. the 3 employee

I’m using a 2020 MacBook Pro 16” with 32GB of RAM. I’m WFH, but don’t notice any slowdowns on any other task.

That’s a good question, even if I disagree slightly about the premise, as random large open-source products targeting consumers (as opposed to infrastructure projects like Linux kernel) can dramatically vary in quality. My hypothesis: devs

People use to laugh at PMs (disclaimer: I’m a PM), but making right product decisions in a big Corp, with multiple parties to align with that had competing interests, is hard . I’m sure Google has high quality engineers working more or les

For as long a I am a “wanna-be founder”, I used to be afraid of working on ideas that compete with (parts of) Google business. That feeling is no more. I use GSuite at work at a FAANG company, and Google slides with 50+ pages is so slow (mu

This is a very naive view. Black people are responsible for higher share of murders, for example, than their share of population. We should look at the frequency of interactions with the police, not at the population shares.

Malaria affects far smaller population size.

However, if you use a personal email, you can’t hide behind “I’m just doing my research”.

Not sure if it was just a temp measure during the pandemic, but last May I renewed my driving CA license completely online, and they mailed it to my home address; no visit to DMV was necessary.

Shouldn’t a proper sorting (based on activity, karma, number of answers) take care of this (= duplicate questions)?

The error message in the commit that introduced that change uses the word “insane”. I hope they changed it to “mentally challenged”. https://github.com/git/git/commit/cad88fdf8d1ebafb5d4d1b92eb...

You can run emulations. When I was at NVIDIA almost 10 years ago, they were number 1 user of electricity in Santa Clara, by a big margin, because of their server farm that was used to emulate chips.

They did as you say (you are a PM, after all!), and next week they rolled out the "likelihood of engagement" model. An independent analysis by another team member, familiar with the old model, confirmed that it was still mostly dr

Disclaimer: I started working at FB recently. Consider the following model scenario. You are a PM at a discussion board startup in Elbonia. There are too many discussions at every single time, so you personalize the list for each user, show

(Because a simple upvote wouldn't do this comment justice) I think it's a really, really great response. YC community is indeed very special, and I am often surprised that over these years, it keep attracting high caliber people a

Moscow and most of the other places in Russia are on a complete lockdown for more than a week now - much stricter that eg. NY or California. I’m not sure what do you mean by your comment.

What works for me is enjoying the process, not the end result, and making small incremental progress. I started blogging recently - just little pieces of code or analysis here and there - and found that a sense of making progress strongly m

For me, it’s a combination of many many convenient built-in functions, and high level constructs for functional and rule-based programming. I recently played with the language to get functionality similar to what R’s dplyr provides - it can

Thanks Steve for the answer! HN is an amazing place where a random comment asking a question about Rust can get an answer from a core developer. I hope we will always keep it that way.

Well, they clearly think their model works for them. If you think otherwise, it's on you to convince them that they should change their model, or start your own effort if you think it will benefit humanity. I don't think they nece

Swift is a great example, but don't forget that is essentially funded by Apple. It would look very different if it would be a true community effort. Rust I'm not very familiar with: how much of their funding is dependent on Mozill
