When you talk about PPP, keep in mind to factor in housing and other modern lifestyle conveniences. These are very very expensive if you price it as a percentage of your salary. Even in the Bay Area, a Home is still 5-6X annual income of a

What about the carbon emissions in order to manufacture the car, dig up mines for lithium etc? Surely that needs to be accounted as well.

I feel one of the real issues is incentivizing publicly traded companies to beat pressure from Wall street to keep cutting costs and workers be damned attitude. It might be worthwhile to experiment $30 per hour wages for all publicly listed

This looks like an iPad / tablet charging stand with speakers and better mic -- which there are plenty of in the market. You can get one of these for $20 (or $99 if Apple makes it!). Amazon is just hoping that the success of Echo will

If one were to use a similar analogy as the author -- a startup is like a huge hill but a mirage. Once you're off of whatever you are smoking, you realize it's just a mole hill.

Our team runs _the_ largest Go middleware. Checking in external dependencies into your repo scales - you don't want 200+ users hitting Github every 10 minutes, when you can hit the local Git repo on a 10Gbps n/w. Also, using GOPAT

Thanks for working in Firefox. It is so much better than where it was whe Chrome first shipped and I switched to Firefox (and also to DDG thanks to AMP). There are two issue that bug me a lot and I use FF on Mac. The back swipe behavior is

Oh yeah, they are doing no evil! Probably time to switch back to Firefox.

This seems to be cultural at Google. Apart from this, there are many instances that I've been hit by their "we know best, just deal with it" mentality. AMP debacle comes to mind.

As a user, I can't stand amp -- issues are 1.) no link to original site. 2.) top banner plague 3.) weird smooth scrolling that messes with my muscle memory. There are two workarounds to avoid amp all together: 1.) use DDG and prefix al

I'd say AI is real when it can do everything my 4yr old son can understand and do. I used to think this is a low bar, But going by how slow and painful the progress has been, I'm not hopeful it will happen even in my son's li

The article is well written but takes a little anti-social view of how things come to be. The private industry is doing a great job of procuring, manufacturing and delivering of consumer goods at affordable prices. However many of these inv

This is an awesome product and a big disruptor. Has anyone done the math on the revenues and profitability for Tesla? On the one hand it will sell for more than the typical 10-20K roof job. But then it is supposed to last 50years. What are

Apple has its own OS, compilers, IDE, 2+ languages, various frameworks etc. This is more than what Google, more importantly used a lot by people. But yeah it just a hardware company.

Ethical to whom? For all the Apple stockholders, it is ethical to follow the rule and reduce taxes. For all the handme-something EU bums it is not.

Why do so many HN folks feel that Google is the savior here? The reality is that both oracle and Google are for-profit companies and hence both are greedy. Talk to any old Sun employee and they will tell you how Google came and saw and took

That only works when the competitor products are better than what Apple makes. The competing products are mediocre at best and more over, they just don't integrate like the way Apple products do. One could ask the same about your comm
