What did you think Modular was prior to the acquisition? I mean, I can understand not being on board with Qualcomm and thinking the stewardship may go awry, but the reason given doesn’t seem to fit a company that raised multiple rounds of f

Do you happen to have a link for that? It seems pretty counterintuitive given the state of modern PC hardware.

>The idea that opioids are addictive is a myth. They have literal physical withdrawals. The body becomes dependent on them. What else would you call that?

Shouldn’t all three bear some fault? The big company for not proactively supporting their staff to report (e.g. benefits), the pilot for doing something ethically wrong, and the regulatory body for encouraging the broken system?

So, remove the majority of dynamic websites from the internet, basically? I don’t see how that’s helpful. I get you’re (probably) being hyperbolic, but the fact remains that it’s a highly useful language for generating dynamic web content.

Wouldn’t having strong SEO incentive competition to buy ads? Of course it also incentives them to work on SEO, but the only way to ‘get above’ a top ranking site would be to buy an ad, no?

In that case wouldn’t it make sense to try to get your friends to use another group chat? I get people love to use the iMessage groups, but every friend I have on Android create a WhatsApp group, etc. and it’s pretty trivial to use and main

I think you need to pick a better example. I don’t believe a CEO saying “diversity is important, but not our only goal” would be pilloried by either of the currently polarized sides, while one that said “diversity is the best” would, likely

Why? I get you’re being flip, but I don’t get the connection? Politically, HN tends to be more libertarian (gross generalization, obviously).

Doesn’t gentoo essentially do that for (most?) everything?

Not to be flip, but pretty sure the gp is referring to losses, I.e. burning vc money and not earning enough revenue to break even.

The people formerly smoking cigarettes that switched have likely benefited quite a bit, or will.

This isn’t entirely true. Pythons will happily eat a dead mouse. In fact, it’s even common to buy and store frozen mice and rats for small pythons. In my personal experience: 1) snakes that were fed frozen mice from a young age handle it be

I think that really depends on whether you need all traffic routed through the tunnel/vpn and what else you were trying to accomplish. For just basic system access there isn’t much advantage to vpn, but it would really depend on what y

Just a bit of anecdotal experience for additional thought: I did the same for years, ignoring the signs, pushing through long hours, etc. and eventually developed idiopathic epilepsy. As it’s idiopathic, there’s no known direct cause (e.g.

Eh? ‘Most’ of MSFTs revenue comes from Windows and Office. Isn’t Azure/cloud/server less than ⅓? Not that that’s not substantial, but it’s not most.

I don’t think the harvesting alone is the main issue. I think it’s the (perceived or real) systemic abuse, e.g. the quantity. Especially if you consider, according to the article, they also have an organ donation registry. You just can’t di

While I don’t disagree with you, if you look at the comment above this you’ll see @enriquto mentions just dumping lists to a text file. Pretty sure that’s what was implied by ‘unix’: use a simple text file that is dumped to the fs that can

How much time would be considered enough? I’m not disagreeing, just an honest question. Would it need to be 50% of the company’s life, rather than ~11%? 25%?

I think your second point is really the crux of the matter. Even an independent GitHub controls far too much of the ecosystem. There’s really no way around that in the current situation. Had they followed a similar path as Gitlab, we might

Yup, I definitely agree. And rereading your original comment I think it’s fairly clear and I probably just misconstrued your intent: /any/ large corp buying GitHub would’ve resulted in a similar reaction and it’s just a bit strong
