I mean; the article even states that you should be skeptical of that statement: "it’s mostly powered by renewables. Be skeptical"

I mean; if there was a company that would capable of doing it... but yah this feels like a false equivalency. Private companies are free to refuse service to anyone; unless there is specific legislation to the contrary.

Seems to be another faked "hack" of Parler. Does Twilio even have a user management component? Why is the explanation of the hack a jumbled mess? I'll believe it when after private convos are leaked.

Private companies just want to act in their best interest. Call it what you will, no one wants to be associated with them; and as such they get removed. Amazon, Google, Facebook, et.al. owe Parler exactly nothing.

When you have enough liquid capital (see: fiat) to not worry about day to day expenses. I fail to see how this is any different then someone asking to get paid in another investment vehicle. Why not gold? Why not stocks?

They'll both be as fast as your implementation; but GraphQL will most likely have some additional overhead, likely offset with caching. GraphQL isn't a magic bullet; you still need to implement/define how the data is returned

For sure; that's why people reiterate the 99%+ metric. This isn't a cataclysmic virus that will wipe out life on earth, but it will tax health care systems far beyond what they're capable of handling. It will devastate econom

Because even those who are vehement supporters of lockdowns/wide spread health measures understand that this only affects a small percentage of those who contract it. We don't need examples of people who had no issues, 99%+ of peo

For sure; and I'm not saying we should give people carte blanch. But those mistakes, errors, whatever we want to call them, are the exception, not the rule. Do you distrust your co-workers if they make a single mistake?

What if there aren't straightforward explanations to what needs to be done? Should I not trust my Dr because they can't bring complex medical concepts down to my level? Do clients of software development companies require that the

I live in a country with socialized medicine. People trust the healthcare system since we "pay" 0$ for access. (pay in quotes since obviously taxes are significantly higher) And Drs. I know are great at listening! I'd honestl

No; I'm implying you have made an unverifiable statement that attempts to counter scientific evidence. It adds nothing to the conversation.

White House actively trying to destabilize the country to limit what Biden is able to do? Very confusing.

Unclear why this is relevant to HackerNews? For what its worth, it looks like the Ruqqus "space" is dead as well? 33 members? Looks like the admin for the subreddit got mad and decided to kick everyone out since he could.

You value your life less as you get old; however, much like religion, we should not be forcing our own views on everyone else. There are plenty of elderly who would love nothing more then to continuing to see their children, and their child

That is a completely inhumane statement. You may not believe that "the true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members"; but how dare you say that someone losing a parent or loved one is &quot

Oh for sure; I've just always felt like I've needed to have my code "nearby" to REPL it, or debug it. Maybe I've just not caught up with the times. We all know development sans internet is more or less impossible no

I just simply cannot think of a world where cloud based development takes off. I want control of my system, I want my code to run on my hardware, I want to be able to get into the nitty gritty and see what's going on. Does anyone use t

Code management, code versioning and code fixing are all hard problems. You can't in all cases put a simple tool/thing in front of it and fix it. Sometimes hard things are just that, hard. Also; git isn't meant for your &quot

I totally agree; there should never be a situation where an individual is required to put their life and limb on the line to provide for their families. It still does not justify placing the life and limbs of all other people on the road in
