I agree with you, but the problem with this approach is there a vocal minority (in the US at least) that vehemently opposes this as it hurts votes for "their side". The last thing they want is an educated, critical thinking, popul

If the market were rational, I would agree with you. But it is not, and Musk has a weird cult of personality around him.

Basically, the way I understand it, is the probability of a Big Bang spontaneously occurring (due to the quantum fluctuations) is some godawful infinitesimally low number 0.00000...1 that for all intents and purposes is 0, but is NOT zero.

DS9 is peak Star Trek for me. It took what I loved about TNG and gave it the "Babylon 5" Arc treatment with a bit more darkness to it. I would highly recommend watching the whole series. It's available now on just about every

This is one of the most disgusting and repulsive comments I've ever read on HN. These are people - my parents, my in-laws, and my sister-in-law are all in this age group, as I'm sure a lot of posters here are as well. These are hu

Well I'm not in marketing, and I attribute tons of our growth to good marketing - but I was responsible for the development and deployment of our tech stack. Basically rewrote a legacy platform I inherited (.NET 1.0 WebForms yall on a

In the interim we are using our legacy system. I wrote a connector that uses the Shopify admin api to fetch unfullfilled orders and fulfill them. Long term we are thinking Ship Station or maybe ZenDesks ecommerce offering.

Same here. On a positive note, all our apps are still working - apparently their internal DNS is still working, at least in the same datacenters. I can't access anything from here though.
