    Hacker News is already in the business of policing articles though. This is a curated list of articles that people share, and a lot of unrelated articles are automatically deleted …

    I think the pipeline is not really about the 30u30 list as a whole, but about the cover of the magazine, which I feel has had a very high rate of fraud.

    AWS has existed for like 2 decades now, is that not enough evidence for you?

    You can turn on Private Browsing, even on a free account. It also prevents YOU from seeing who viewed you, though, unless you buy premium.

    This is also assuming that 100% of layoffs are American citizens. A huge chunk of those layoffs are H1B workers themselves.

    This is about KMart Australia. Australia is a country, similar to the United States. You should look it up sometime.

    They separate each other by spending money on YouTube ads and sponsorships and jacking up prices to offer 50%, no 70% no NINETY PERCENT DISCOUNT if you subscribe for 17 years using…

    That doesn’t make sense, the 15pro and 16pro were already titanium, and they moved AWAY from titanium for those phones in the 17pro. I don’t disagree that it has something to do wi…

    React is significantly more easier to hire for than JQuery is, especially in this market. Especially if you’re looking for more junior roles. As a new grad, I would’ve picked a rea…

    Europe is also somewhat poorer than North America, to be fair.

    Can we stop calling things you find weird “American?” Like Jesus Christ, Europe isn’t some special land where everyone makes food from scratch and capitalism doesn’t exist. I’m not…

    This is not just an unfounded theory but a completely insane theory. Many (all?) of the countries ahead of the US in test scores also don’t “beat their kids” because that is absolu…

    I think what ICE is doing is bad, but I do feel a bit annoyed with how the media is reporting this. They WERE misusing the B1 Visa a bit - at least that’s what the facts point to, …

    I understand you made the app because of your own needs as a someone in a co parenting situation, but you’d have a lot more luck by removing that from your pitch. I see on your web…

    I don’t see why it would. Chess is still bigger than ever.

    It still is, not all queries trigger web search, and it takes more tokens and time to do research. ChatGPT will confidently give me outdated information, and unless I know it’s wro…

    There is no strong competition, there’s probably 4 or 5 companies around the world that have the capacity to actually have data centres big enough to serve traffic at scale. The re…

    I never said any of those things, you’re literally arguing with made up points I didn’t make? But my point Hetzner isn’t self-hosted. Similar to how storing money in a bank isn’t s…

    And I hate to say it, but in this context, Musk would’ve been at least a little useful in having around. I’m aware he’s not the best person to make reliable predictions, but he doe…

    Why do you claim that Hetzner won’t screw you over with your data? What you’re doing with Hetzner is just a few less layers of abstraction compared to AWS or Azure. They can still …
