Just in case: worth noting that honey is quite dangerous for infants because of the high risk of botulism, which infant immune systems struggle to fight off.

From the standpoint of nearly every individual company, it's still better to go with a well-known high-9s service like AWS than smaller competitors though. The fact that it means your outages will happen at the same time as many others

Sounds like the way they're obtaining it without a subpoena is by simply purchasing it from a commercial data broker, though. If that's true, I'd say the real problem is that a broker is willing to sell virtually anyone thi

Isn't the idea that maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates are somewhat in tension with each other though? Which would mean the mandate is to balance those three things – e.g. maximize employment to t

The retaliatory tariffs if we did would be devastating for the US, because so much of our overall trade balances are carried by services rather than tangible goods.

It's very strange, searching for "H1-B" with scope "Past Week" turns up this post and several others, but NOT the larger discussion you linked. Even though the term "H1-B" is in the title!

There's a huge difference though between short bursts of intense activity – which are thrilling, and in my experience can forge longlasting team bonds – and an ongoing, constant sense of pressure. The latter you can't maintain exc

It's weird that the duplicates didn't get consolidated into one post with more combined points that would bubble higher up in the feed. I thought HN auto-detects when duplicate links are submitted in a short time window?

I would think a large part of it is simply the universities want to offer tenure to the most competent researchers. And it's harder to judge whether a researcher who mostly gets null results is doing a good job. Perhaps this means it r

Requiring a 3rd-party auditor perform a postmortem whose results are posted publicly might be an interesting regulatory approach to this. Companies get shamed for their mistakes, and also the rest of the industry learns more about which pra

My understanding is they don't have the capability to have a ride be flat-out remotely piloted in real time. If the car gets stuck and puts its hazards on, a human can intervene, look at the 360 view from the cameras, and then give the
