Yeah people like you did a lot of work to hide apple’s planned obsolence in the past, wouldnt be entirely shocked if this was the case. Now you can apply for a job at apple showing what a good sheeple you are.

Good point - wondering if open source projects that copy commercial products should be liable for copyright infringement.

JS devs like to reinvent the wheel.

I am not sure why you deleted your comment - I know the HN commentariat will downvote anything contrary to its liking, but this is a forum for debating issues. I managed to read it quickly, and while I disagree with it, I welcome it. I welc

Great, now let's look into why they commit so much crime - perhaps because they have been marginalised for generations, depicted as criminals, denied education, pushed towards the edge of society? Your statement is like saying Jews in

You mean to tell me I can just call the police on a black person that happens to be in my store, they get killed, and we call it a day? Everything that results in some sort of police punishment must be investigated, even if the person is de

True - but I am referring to useless open source posts. Forgot to add those claiming OOP, code documentation, and so on, are useless. Waste of time and are a distraction from what you mentioned.

Shouldnt the UN condemn what is going on in the US? Police ramming protesters, shooting people filming from their own property, and so on reminds a lot about HK protests. Rohynga, Uyghurs, Black Americans, Native Americans are tortured in t

Rare gem - the bulk is made of open source stuff no one asked for, rants against employers, and weird calls to revolution. Worth staying for the rare ones tho.

I already saw posts with titles likes “post remote work”. Keeps workers entertained.

I yet have to understand why Chinese companies are not getting the same treatment in the US as US companies get in china. In the EU i understand - germans need to sell cars there, but in the US it is beyond me given the POTUS is “against” C

I used this as an example because i kept asking myself why would people be so ready to believe in conspiracies, then i remembered i used to believe them as well. For me personally it is a powerful example of how it works. I looked into how

Personally I hope nanotechnology can be used in vaccines, for targeting cells based on their genome - imagine a tiny machine that will attack exactly cancer cells, covid, hiv. One that we can program, inject and cure. Also I see the validit

That could work indeed. Annoying but necessary. Tho what does one do about real bots - people in spam farms that would manually login, post and logout.

When i was little (14 or so) i used to read a lot about alien and Egyptian mummies conspiracy theories, about various phenomena and was fascinated by them. As i grew older i realised they were just stories. Wondering if some people never le

Sacrificing a few genuine accounts to save the sanity of millions and protect democracy is not much of an issue. The question is how does one revive such accounts without too much hassle while not reviving bots.

The keyword is "accidentally killed". But whatever suits your agenda for downplaying what's happening in the US. "And the protests in the UK, where the reasons were many (racism, austerity, corruption)." - Absolutel

It is, but not to the point where people are killed by the police or denied voting rights. The fact that you are trying to make things look good by saying it happens in other places too shows ignorance.

Of course I am and so are you. But I live in Europe and I dont really worry about getting killed by the police nor do I have to watch out for drones or the army getting deployed when I protest against the discrimination of entire groups of

The main difference is covid hit home. People dont really care when it happens in other countries - how many blinked as people were dying in china? Almost no one cared.

It will just become the new normal sadly and people will be more docile by then. The vast majority already is.

No, this is not Russia, North Korea, China. This is the US, 2020.

Somehow China manages to control directly or indirectly companies, individuals, and sometimes politicians, in the US on a far bigger scale than the Soviet Union did. Oddly enough on a scale even higher than under Obama.

Not sure about the US, they do in the UK tho. I usually don't consider ads without pay info.

Not OP but I always found it odd that danish companies don’t post salaries in job ads. Just an observation vs the UK where it is common practice. Wondering if it’s one of the reasons, along with tax, salaries are so much lower in that count

What country are you in? Afaik in the UK you shouldnt have issues. When I was a head of dev I personally NEVER discriminated based on age (or other reasons such as race, gender, region, etc for that matter), and neither have others i know n

I cant tell wether the statement that Russia had “soul” is because of the stockholm syndrome or something else, but how can you say that considering millions of people have been deported to gulags in the early days of communism, and hundred
