Is this really that weird, considering labor now involves mostly looking at a screen? In other words, is the total amount of time we see family really going down vs say the 1800s, when people used to work many more hours.

The sharing and alcohol were company provided, the game of Guinness is almost certainly a silly one where after your first sip the foam lands in the middle of the G. And based on my own experience if you were to fire everyone who has ever t

I didn't know Netflix was such a stick-up-the-ass garbage place to work at. What an incredibly dumb thing to fire someone over.

That's a very optimistic view. They care about getting elected, and enough tech-savvy people in the country made a big enough stink about it a critical mass of "normal people" got pissed. If they cared about privacy this whol

You're extrapolating one somewhat rude adiplomatic president to America going to war with Europe? That's enough internet for you, sir. Time to go for a walk.

And in this hypothetical world where having dangerous opinions has consequences even though sometimes we draw the line incorrectly, I'm assuming you think your personal views could never be marked as such? We still live in a free socie

The problem here is that everyone thinks their ideas aren't radical and that sharing them isn't indoctrination. I once left a religion, peacefully, not loudly or trying to tell anyone else how to live their life. People still in t

The idea that the world will ever have enough compute is ridiculous. I'm sure all of this sudden growth will need to be digested at some point, but that won't mean the industry will permanently lose a big chunk of its market cap.

I hope all this stays true without growth. I hope it wasn’t a temporary utopia built on the tail end of centuries of theft and violence all over the world, and a relative peace subsidized by the US Navy. American problems generally last 4 y

The folks who allowed the continent to fall behind through over-regulation would like you to know they'll now do a good job at being the capital allocators.

I also use iCloud mail, mine looks slightly better (though not perfect): https://www.mail-tester.com/test-n5b4ip8ey

You'd probably have to go through a similar set of bureaucratic steps to get that done.

Pretty nominal for Europe to be honest. Most Americans don't realize a) how much money they make and b) how little taxes they pay. Apples and oranges with all the social safety nets and such of course, but still most (healthy) American

If your business depends on it, not backing it up in some other place on a consistent basis is a bad idea. The cost of this should be factored into the price you charge people. 800GB would be less than 20 dollars on S3, all you have to figu

Quality very much depends on the language I've noticed. I don't use ChatGPT but I do use Github's Copilot. The main way I've been using it lately is to make manually written algorithms more efficient. So I'll write

This is exactly how I feel about it. I'm sure there are some tasks it works really well for, but I have yet to encounter one.

Dutchman living in NYC; this article is spot on. It gets slightly easier with time, but I've been here ~9 years and I still feel it.

Additionally, if you take a 4MB photo and add it to a shared album with 5 people, those 5 people all have to use up 4MB from their storage. Instead of reusing the same image and having pointers to it, it looks like it's "copied&qu

1) Deliver with Uber Eats while you're applying for jobs. Strike up a deal with the landlord if you have to. Be open about your situation, tell them you'll pay as much as you can now and will pay them the rest as soon as you have

I think Hacker News has enough tech-savvy people who are asked for advice by friends and family to make a dent. Let's make companies regret decisions like this.
