The question is still what number people need to live "comfortably" (i.e. upper middle class). The average salary there may not quite provide for the amenities the average American considers "comfortable".

Reminds me of when I was younger and tried the F1 cars in Live for Speed racing simulator. Turns out it's actually really, really hard to keep an F1 car on the tracks.

This is silly. If you're language isn't getting enough coverage to get onto Wikipedia, stop complaining and get it some coverage. Ship features. Evangelise it. Get people using it. Their claim of 'one of the most popular &quo

One of the hardest and best exams I had to do in university was my behavioural finance midterm exam: the format was that I had to sit down with the professor and have a five minute discussion on a topic of my choosing. It was surprisingly t

Interesting how little some things have changed. The prices, on the other hand, seem quite cheap--even after converting to 2026 dollars.

Piracy also acts as a decentralised archive/backup of most stuff people care about. It's important we have this since mainstream media sources can be memory-holed at any moment. Maybe the legal side will be solved one day, maybe i

Yeah. The symbols "speak without words", but no one hears their meaning without learning it in advance. They're pretty and foreign, but not particularly communicative.

Even the HN comments here are a sea of confusion and contradiction. It's stunning and makes me wonder whether CORS is a bad solution, or if it's solving a hard problem.

This was actually a lot of fun. Not as much trolling as I anticipated. Surprising amount of normal chit chat.

I'm not a maintainer but as the quote goes: "I would have written a shorter letter, but did not have the time." I'd suggest you keep a sense of how much effort they've put into packaging their PR to be the minimum

You'd think with tool use being as available as it is, the first tool we'd want to give them is a calculator...

I will point our that most relationships end in separation. Maybe the reason for the breakup was in their story. Maybe they just stopped liking each other. We can't know without OP telling us.

With schemes like SpaceX, and the general number of large-cap-but-negative-earnings companies trading on the market, I feel like the conventional wisdom of DCA and chill / just passively buy the index will turn into an underperforming

I've seen some other posts on this site and yeah it's probably AI, and low-quality writing regardless. Excellent candidate for throwing into AI and asking for a summary; if you bother reading it at all.

Yes. We can complain that technology is "too complicated" but so is the human brain, consciousness, and every other biological system which we have failed to fully understand. Knowing that we are surrounded by systems we can never

Patrick Boyle on Finance has a Youtube video on the topic ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBlu45HFruk ). He basically explained that they simply can't afford the proposed transaction, so it was never going to actually

Elasticache is definitely one of the services to consider self-hosting. AWS doesn't add much in terms of APIs or polish. On the other hand, Redis/Valkey is one of the most simple services to self-host.

Singapore isn't particularly violent, it's just efficient. It's the threat of deportation (huge swathes of the population are on work visas) or punishment that keeps people in line. Even their prisons aren't very violent

That's kind of the point. Ask yourself: which people would you genuinely be excited to make a little happier? (through a compliment or otherwise) Whose opinion are you keen to carefully listen to and consider? Who do you like enough su

Stop personifying LLMs. "It Confessed in Writing." No, it wrote some sentences that are congruent with the prior events in the context window. They're not real engineers. Shouting at them is like shouting at a mountain after

SMST (Defiance Daily Target 2x Short MSTR ETF) could be a rough equivalent. As the other poster mentioned though, many miners won't be using oil-based energy sources, so it does make one wonder about cause and effect. Maybe a dip in BT

Just like kids on a playground; only more brutal. Thank you, ancient chimp brain.

There's an interesting spectrum of reactions here. Maybe the real test is peoples' reactions to the test...

Yeah, there's basically nothing explaining why the need more funding, and what they will do with it. Hosting? Salaries? Admin? You'd hope for a bit more context than this. > How will my gift be used? > Thunderbird is the le

I'm kind of getting at the fact that people tend to optimistically overestimate the likelihood of positive outcomes. This is true for lottery tickets, and stock options (every startup is definitely going to the moon). From the company&

People who sell lottery tickets, on average, do better than those who buy them. The same applies to stock options. Which is why "bonus" options are fine, but "buying" them by taking ESOP over potential salary, can be a b

The other thing that keeps coming up is the github-code-is-fine-but-the-release-artifact-is-a-trojan issue. It really makes me question if "packages" should even exist in JavaScript, or if we could just be importing standard plain

Might be better to calculate them separately for each locale and then tie-break with your own approach (min/max/avg/median/etc.)
