What is the base for a good job? 99.99%? 99.999%? Something like Amazon or Google has billions of users. Getting it perfect is impossible. So what's the bar?

Would you like iterm to provide Google search results? Should iterm have discord chats or irc channels in it? It's not what I want iterm to do, I want iterm to be a great terminal.

Lawns are deserts, they support very little ecologically. Fewer insects means fewer pollinators, fewer birds, fewer frogs and lizards, fewer bats, which in turn means fewer raptors and other key predators. They also take a heavy chemical, w

This is simply piracy. This reads exactly like a scene release of any pirated material.

I'm against the idea of hosting as a commodity generally.

Which has the effect of....? At the end of the day, the reasons these choices exist is to make someone rich. The mechanism (shielding from interest rate cycles) is just an implementation detail.

It's a terrible analogy, and does nothing to simplify or abstract in plain terms. And it pervades the rest of the article in a confounding way.

I've encountered people who deny it's happening, deny it's manmade, deny it will have impact, deny it will have a negative impact, and deny we should prioritize any changes in behavior. All on HN. I don't care which of t

Plenty of them make their way to hn. Give this article enough time in the front page and you'll have a chance to listen to them.

Your mental model of the past is idealistic, morality in the past was lynchings, cop raids against gay people, racism against everyone, segregation, sexism, and imperial power.

Hmmmm which innocent people and whose national safety? The way I recall leaks from the US in Iraq and Afghanistan, the leaks typically depicted the U.S. killing or torturing innocent people. Sure, it's plausible they might have made so

AFB vaccination is less than two years old and is not available worldwide. The majority of beekeepers expect to burn or absolutely sterilize any equipment that contacts it. The EU requires equipment to be destroyed if it contacts AFB. The s

Are you suggesting Texas is systemically a great place to live for non white folks? Refuting the statement above? Seattle definitely has a history of redlining and race exclusion. It's also farther from the U.S. south, where population

As far as I'm aware, burning hives is standard practice. The real stinger here is lack of insurance or support from the government.

What does that mean? Because it sure reads like a euphemism for "non white".

It's not culturally aligned with tech workers like Austin is though. Austin has a reputation of being kinda a cool, funky city. Houston has the reputation of living in an armpit with shitty, car brained infrastructure.

The demographics matter. Is Florida's growth young, well educated professionals? Or are we seeing boomers retire there and a concentration of conservative retirees wanting to follow their politics.

There's a clear reason why - Texas has no interest in attracting well educated people. Well educated people tend to think through things like, "should we understand people have different lived experiences than me?" I'm s

The Texas state government just pardoned a guy who drove a car into a blm protest. And it's regularly limiting access to women's healthcare and lgbtq healthcare. It doesn't matter if Austin is lgbtq friendly if the state itse

It's not either or, it's both and. Of course there are different options that have better results in some axes. Building wind does not mean not building nuclear, solar, hydro, tidal, biomass pyrolysis, etc.

I didn't speak to profit. I spoke to energy return.

by yareal 2y ago
A lot less than they create? Like, if it was a negative return on investment, energy wise, no one would be building wind farms. Wind turbines produce whole integer MW, which is way more than they cost to make.

I'm not so sure. There's plenty of patterns in software that are obviously addictive. Think of time limited items in a store or loot boxes in games with big splashy animations. I suspect there are patterns in social media that con

Hey now, the Luddites were not anti technology! They were highly skilled laborers who wanted to combine their expertise with the autoloom to increase overall throughput and split those gains with the factory owners. The factory owners said,

Do you work on Twitter? I'm confused why you would react so strongly and angrily out the gate.

This seems to be working as designed, a website is loading cross origin material and not setting up the proper systems in advance. Twitter shouldn't get a pass on doing something unusual and suspicious just because. Serve the images fr

I appreciate gen z/alphas surrealism, often a blend of blown out audio, weird lingo, and heads in toilets with exaggerated expressions. Despite not fully understanding it, I genuinely appreciate that youth are finding their surrealist
