Most of the top comments are saying how Lambda is half baked. It might very well be, but it’s funny to see the one comment so far that is positive about Lambda get downvoted and the poster singled out for not providing a clear solution to o

Why prohibit my kid from doing something when I can abdicate my responsibility to the child completely and rely on mass hysteria or government intervention to do my job for me? That’s basically the argument against what you’re saying.

Cigarettes destroy your mouth, lungs, and cause cancer. And they’re so bad we passed laws that you cannot sell them to minors. I’m no fan of Instagram, but if you don’t want your kid on social media, don’t let them go on social media. Shoul

What research do I need to do? We paid to fix one of the vehicles out of pocket but had to file an insurance claim on the other, and our premiums went up because every window was smashed, including one of the mirrors. This is a bad faith re

I haven’t lived in LA, Chicago, or NY. But please help me understand — why does another city being worse off (whether that’s true or not is besides the point) makes it okay for Seattle to regress? And why would I move from my city to Chicag

I agree on many but not all of these points. This list is setting some expectations, and what I mean is that some programmers here will see this list since it’s trending on HN and lose their self esteem or try to forcefully change their beh
