I’ll add on to the other responses and tell you that for a lot of people getting old sucks and the thing that sucks worse than getting old is being old. Constant pain. Lipoma pressing against your spine means no matter how you sit or lay yo

Really disappointing to hear this. The ML revolution is very real and so is the immense value it’s capable of granting us...HOWEVER it’s really only in a narrow category of problems and people don’t want to admit that so they try to shoehor

I’m a pretty smart guy, or at least I keep getting told that, and I work near HFTs in the finance world. I am also a huge space nerd thanks to a love for things like Star Trek and Star Wars in the 70’s 80’s. I would take a significant pay c

In the US at least they absolute have been doing the oldest first and then lowering the age bracket slowly as more vaccines have ramped up.

Does that mean they took an 18 year old and put him back in class with 15 year olds expecting him to stay there for four more years from 19-22? That can’t be right. What does sent him back to the 9th grade mean in this context?

Not the OP but it’s not hard to get a charitable interpretation of his point. You know why gun ownership is important because you surround yourself with men holding guns. But while you do that you want to take away my gun? I don’t have a r

I very much doubt this is true. I’m sure there are a very large number of FAANG quality engineers all over the eastern US, let alone other countries, that couldn’t or wouldn’t make the move to SV. I would be willing to put money on it being

They were director of design! I am not part of that company so it’s possible that director is a joke there but in most companies that’s the highest level prior to the c suite/owners (public company/professional services firms). Th

Electronics? Didn’t I just read about how the price of coffee is about to spike in the west due to some legislation that will make it harder for them to use slave labor? I hate to say it because my life is so comfortable but it might just

Just FYI I clicked on you and there is no email. You probably put it in the box visible to only you and HN for account recovery purposes. It’s the about box you need it in if you want to share. Do yourself a favor and make it hard to scrape

I remember DivJoy 1.0 and wow you have come a long way! Looking forward to seeing where this project ends up in a few years. A couple of questions/comments: 1) postgres is critical but I saw in another comment you were already on that

Why use classes instead of functions. Isn’t the React ecosystem moving away from classes entirely? I remember hearing somewhere that a core maintainer of React stated we should be using function components everywhere now.

A good read if you are interested in the topic. I do take exception with the constant tonal use of absolutes which seem to be trying to lead the reader to a false conclusion based on that false fear. If the president (Biden or Trump) order

Even more so as you must guess at the motivation for doing so. Is it a reminder and warning of what could happen? Or is it a subtle call for violence trying to incite people to repeat it? Turns out recent precedent says I can read it whiche

Like every market it relies on three large groups existing. One large holding the asset with no intent to sell over the next “horizon” whatever that’s defined at. One group holding the asset and needing to sell it soon. And finally one grou

My first inclination was just to move on but you didn’t post on a throwaway so I will take the bait. Why do you think the toilet issue you described is a problem that needs to be fixed? My experience in every corner of life in America to d

Not sure what your point is considering that I expressly noted the existence of fast food steak houses like your example in my parent comment. I mentioned the existence of places like Longhorn Steakhouse and Outback Steakhouse which are pl

Steak houses in the US (not places like Texas Roadhouse) like Bern's in Tampa (most famous East Coast example I know of - don't spend much time in DC or NYC) or Marks Prime for a more mass produced McDonalds approach at the same c

Sorry citizen, Game of Thrones has reached its download limit. May we suggest The Wheel of Time of Sword of Truth instead? Quite the dystopia you paint. More importantly I wanted to watch Walking Dead and Game of Thrones not on their own m

There is a massive pushback against taking the vaccine going on right now. People coming up with a litany of different reasons not to take it. One of those reasons is a lack of trust in the government. If that smiling 34 year old has a lot

The cynic in me feels like they wouldn’t care. The deal they have with your phone provider allows them to identify you by the phone you signed up with. The deal they have with Amazon facial recognition let’s them identify you with the camer

I pulled down a copy of HN earlier in the year for analysis and was shocked to find polls among the data. It was a very small % of the total content, small enough I assumed it was an old feature that got removed.

If you want a breadth of grounded fantasy (IE takes place in our world but contains elements that don't really exist in our world) then I would recommend picking through Stephen King. If you want to completely escape our world then I r

I will go against the grain here a bit because on anonymous forums humans (myself included) have this nasty habit of forgetting they might be talking to a 12 year old child and instead imprint a vague version of themselves on the people the

I would reconsider trying again with a larger budget and try to do some targeted marketing. I wanted to buy it just from your description on the play store but I’m IPhone only unfortunately. If not maybe there is a marketplace for selling y

I think we are doomed to this forever by human nature. As a thought experiment ask yourself what you think would happen in the following scenario: We enshrine the two party system into law but allow all Americans to chose their party freely

I am going to leave my comment here for posterity but to anyone sharing my question there is an about section I somehow glanced over the first time which explains the project in greater detail.

Intriguing concept but I couldn’t tell from a quick glance where this website falls on the scale of say “BBC/NPR affiliated” down to “Ted in his garage has a cool idea and knows how to website”. The inclusion of a donate button, an emp
