Yep. It's a spectrum. At one end you have normal companies, in the middle you have pseudo-companies like Uber or Lyft or perhaps even Twitter where they're just indirectly guzzling printed money for decades after it's launder

There's a disclosure that SBF actually gave Vox money as part of a journalism grant. This business of billionaires buying journalists outright by calling payments philanthropic grants is way out of control. It's bad enough when Ga

Although it's not app store review, Apple DTS is like that (but way cheaper). And I have to say the quality of developer support you get from it has been amazing for me.

I did read it. You attempted to disclaim the specific claims of the poster whilst also arguing its premise was correct, but the premise of "white culture" (which does not exist, no debate needed) being functions of "white sup

That must be common. I remember many years ago I was walking to the Google MTV campus from a corp apartment in Mountain View itself. It's a fair walk, maybe an hour. I was doing it because it was sunny and why not. A cop car pulled ove

A fix: legal penalties for filing false or irrelevant CPS reports.

Our society is way too tolerant of that kind of behavior. It's similar to how there are still occasional people wearing masks, even outdoors. It needs to become socially acceptable to tell people they're being paranoid and weird,

They aren't really taxpayer dollars in this case, it's borrowed or printed money that hits people directly via inflation.

Note though that other large projects with similar scaling-git problems tended to just write wrapper tools to work around it, see how Chromium and Android do it.

Those two things aren't even close to comparable in scale. The Aztecs were truly horrible in ways not seen in Europe for a very long time. That's why Cortez could conquer so much territory despite starting out with basically nothi

"guess what happened when the Spanish invaded the Americas?" They put a stop to the practice of human sacrifice, which was rampant throughout the Aztec Empire?

The Spectator isn't even remotely close to far right, unless you're going to describe the Guardian and BBC as far left. It's a standard mainstream newspaper in the UK that's been around for a very long time. I recall a t

The census is a set of forms. It isn't like there's someone in front of you trying to guess your age, gender etc. What "self-identify" means here is that you're allowed to pick whatever you want regardless of biolog

"the general premise ... is correct" That can't be, unless one subscribes to a highly racist view of the world. Concepts like "objective, rational linear thinking" are not anything to do with "whiteness&quo

An example of a UI toolkit that does do this is https://jpro.one which renders JavaFX apps to HTML. They use it for their whole website and even their documentation. It works fairly well except if you go offline and lose the con

Be aware that since Omicron virtually all of those are dying "with" COVID, not of it. Examples collected from the Milwaukee coroner's office: https://alexberenson.substack.com/p/six-recent-covid-deaths-..

In fairness UK conservative media have been reporting on it (Spectator, Telegraph). But it's being blamed on lockdowns and NHS collapse. That might be true; not all countries have excess deaths and it's a bit unclear to what exten

Officially the increased sickness effect doesn't exist at all. We only have these sorts of anecdotes and vaccines can only be discussed occasionally on HN, and not at all on most other forums, so notes can only be compared rarely. Unof

I'm not a doctor, so maybe there's some deep difference between something that has the same symptoms as a heart attack and a heart attack. Regardless of what exactly it was, it freaked him out, it freaked me out too and I'm g

I'm very skeptical about their numbers. Some time in 2021 there was a story about COVID vaccines and heart issues here on HN. The comments filled up with people saying that ever since they'd got their shots they were experiencing

Switzerland is maybe a bit better than Germany but the differences are small. The bureaucracy around running a company is still light years worse than the USA or UK. Forming a GmbH or AG still requires the involvement of notaries, for examp

Yes, it can be worse! In Switzerland the process is quite similar to Germany, but the pain really starts not with founding the firm but when you first start to employ people. Or indeed, when you need to shut the company down. Source: I&#x27

How? You realize companies will have replaced employees who leave after a year, right? You can't just switch people's careers off and on again like that. What if they were self employed? Their company can easily have been destroye

I think quite a lot of the politicians I've interacted with (in the UK) actually do seem to believe in public service. They certainly aren't all narcissists.

by origin_path 4y ago
Yes, so the politician is at least trying to understand and represent other people's views. They've made the decision to take the heat and are psychologically prepared for it. Choosing people at random is not going to work well.
