It's very naive to assume that they wouldn't collect and report the telemetry regardless. Filtering then bundling and compressing the data while staggering the calls back home. Any…

If not for anything, the icon looks good. Although it is not out yet, Garbage Country's art direction looks good :) wishlisted.

Regression to the mean. The alternative is no adjustment at all.

I am not certain; but, costs do not have a causative relationship to prices. Prices only go down because as the cost of production goes down, supply increases. It is a correlative …

Regarding threads, I am in complete agreement with you; JavaScript is a terrible language. More important than multi-threading is how JavaScript deals with memory; which is more im…

You are very much right, I appreciate your comment.

I realize this is not an orthodox view, but WASM won't make the typical user have a better experience. I think it could improve Photopea, the various office suite programs, and per…

I doubt that 5 billion people could watch the Olympics at all. Where I am from, there is so little interest in the Olympics that I doubt even half my countries' population would be…

This project is still in alpha, but other, more mature, alternatives exist, such as Tunic: https://github.com/mikeslattery/tunic

This is one of a very small set of reasonable reactions to such policies. Yet, it is unrealistic to expect that Canonical and Red Hat would service and maintain separate distributi…

It seems quite readable. I would say most Arabic speakers would be able to read and understand it. I had no trouble reading it myself.

That isn't true though, coupons, boarding passes, and even confidential documents use Eurion marks. It's not everywhere because it isn't worthwhile going through the hassle of gett…

The Arab Spring, the Mahsa Amini protests, the recent resurgence of the Palestinian/Israeli conflict, have all been conducted primarily using social media. This is a very narrow sc…

I am not much into AI, but more demand for faster memory is good for all of us. Even if, in the short term, prices increase.

I only skimmed through this; I have no real information on the particular game, but I think the console versions could be much smaller as less duplication is necessary when the har…

I too would like to understand why. Perhaps the only one I care for is that I would not like to give too much power to Microsoft in choosing who can contribute. Others have issue w…

I believe that their intention was closer to "regardless of your personal political beliefs"; not "average of political beliefs".

No one is stealing anything, millions willingly immigrate, they get to live better lives (according to their desires) and the home country gets back increased trade, transfer of ca…

So what to you is the alternative better interpretation; that they continue in destitute poverty?

You are entirely right; but the conclusion they intend to argue for is that immigration supplements the declining population, still this is obviously just an attempt at giving auth…

I mean, to be fair, it seems to be the prevailing culture in GitHub for a while now, to quote Nat Friedman[1]; "It's important to do things fast . . . Going fast makes you focus on…

That would really surprise me, however, I really would like to know more about what they mean by consent; I believe the HN title is a bit misleading since this doesn't state a ban …
