The Growth aspect mentioned is that VCs are subsidizing the bill right now, so it is hard to know if at the current moment the demand curve would promote as much usage without it, but assuming demand remained constant (not even growing), yo

Right, from this article: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/27/world/europe/eurostar-bre... The main difference is that pre-2021 UK travellers simply had to show travel documents whereas now they have

You can still take the train from London to Amsterdam so you only have to feel half as bad.

I am just echoing the article: There will not be sufficient space to handle London-bound passengers at the station, given the more intensive post-Brexit formalities. Not sure about the space intensity of pre- vs post-Brexit controls

The line itself isn't being serviced, it is the station. UK-bound lines take up excessive space due to Brexit-related security controls, so there isn't enough space for both the security and the construction areas. They're st

Globally, your stance is very elitist. Only about 18% of the world has a car. https://www.pd.com.au/blogs/how-many-cars-in-the-world/ North America is already auto-dependent and EVs are an important piece of the p

I think you're reading a lot more into my comment than is there, tbh. The comment I'm replying to said something to the effect of: "this may be a good thing because by democratizing highly paid professions, lower income worke

I don't really think law, medicine, and software engineering are the main drivers of wage inequality, though. If the lowest wage was minimum wage and the highest wage was a programmer salary, the Americas would be a very equitable econ

Sounds a lot more like a project or program manager than a product manager.

The person you were replying to is directly advocating for finding work elsewhere?

This video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mu-tJc-BgaI does not make the emergency release look very obvious at all.

That's kind of their job, though, right? Couldn't you have the same complaint about doctors, pilots, or engineers who try to write? Writing isn't what they do. Just seems like there will never be a Scotsman capable of appeasi

Not sure where you are based, but in the US I know a lot of schools shoot for the ABET accrediting guidelines[0]. They directly call out the areas you're asking about: Exposure to computer architecture and organization, information

Eh, steel manning the role it kind of just sounds like a TPM. When roles are crisply defined, a good TPM has been a life changer for my job satisfaction. You basically get permission to farm out a lot of the most annoying parts of the job--

One of the most disappointing parts of moving away from .NET for work was the loss of NCrunch. That one tool made Red-Green-Refactor a breeze. In Ruby/Java it is certainly a bit more of a chore to remember to do.

If anything, the modern management structure more closely resembles a mini-communist state than a capitalist system. Each department's revenue goes into a shared pool, which is distributed amongst the company in annual planning cycles

This comment reminded me of a neat video I saw where reconstructing the past is the explicit intention: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ajqort8ldXA . Starting from 1997, they picked a year 1229 as the simulated start date, t

A few points I'm skeptical of: simply connect to the seller’s infra instead of locking them in. One of the value-adds of Amazon is there's a whole bunch of tech sellers don't need to know how to write, run, and maintai

A nude beach self-selects for people who think that public nudity is not a big deal. You are choosing to be nude around a bunch of people who probably won't care. If only they know about your nudity, no negative consequence is likely t

Because nothing in life is allowed to be simple, "vacant" in this context can actually mean a lot of things. Here's a break down of the 2020 figure of 34k +/- 1.6k: > - 6,694 of those vacancies were units currently l

There are a whole host of heart diseases not spurred on by unhealthy living. Particularly diseases affecting younger folk who would inordinately benefit from a longer lifespan if we got better at transplanting. As a selfish example, I have

In the Bay, Seattle, or NY, maybe. In Bessemer, AL where the vote is being held, the median family income is $40k. Still a ridiculous talking point.

I'm not sure I 100% understand what you are reacting to. I want to understand these two points a bit better: It is in fact plainly racist on it's face to demonize a group based on immutable characteristics. Yes. Where have

The "isms" referenced are less about the fact you can work around these complaints line by line and more about the fact no one bothered to check them before rolling out required surveillance technology for education. White suprema

Not really. HN skews pretty right wing on things like this. It isn't nearly as commonplace or ridiculous as it would have you believe. I say this as a member of a "woke MegaCorp."

This section of town is normally the busiest part of the Seattle nightlife. They didn't just turn some random residential block into Coachella. It's right by where the Capitol Hill block party is run, legally and with the city&#x2
