Police departments aren’t understaffed. It’s a priority problem not a lack of resources problem. I live in a tech heavy, wealthy city. It’s small. No violent crime. Barely any crim…

You’re misinformed or willingly stupid if you think there are H1 hiring sprees with the last set of changes. H1 hiring has tanked.

Bro I worked in the windows team. I’m telling you how it was. Trust the HN crowd to know.

^this is good, legit feedback for why this product/feature isn't good. It's not just "MSFT BAD!". Thanks for sharing.

HN seems to think PMs have a lot more power at Microsoft or large corps than they actually do. I assure you, a bunch of this stuff just comes top down because some VP's million dol…

Related but tangential: is there a way to grab video frames from a meeting? Audio transcript is great. Looking at a use case to grab participant video.

What does GPT-5 do that just wasn’t possible before or wasn’t possible as well as it is now? In my daily use cases I only see regressions.

There’s a simpler non malicious explanation for this. Asians know other Asians in tech and hire based on who they are familiar with rather than their ethnicity. It’s also why women…

I’ve been here as a teen. It’s amazing! I was blown away by the creativity.

CR poll asks about any problems faced. Phone didn’t connect to the multimedia unit? That’s a problem. Not saying MB quality hasn’t changed but given the large feature set the probl…

This makes sense. There are 3 “ways” a battery charges. 1. OS’s battery driver does the charging. This is possible when the computer is on and the driver has control. 2. Firmware d…

It’s close enough for the purpose of the article.

- My automatic (non quartz) watch. Another watch that’s hybrid - has a battery reserve and charges by solar and hand movement. The only time I don’t wear them is when I shower. No …

Wait, you’re the presenter!

Man I used to tell family in India that the US is better despite corruption because the corruption was at very high levels. Companies paying to pass bills that benefit them. That a…

I’m confused. Is the statement that people learn ASL for money and some social kudos?

Couldn’t one argue Amazon is the middleman too? Not in every case but these sellers do provide value. They find obscure items for an underserved market and sell something people wa…

Yes of late my experience has been that Amazon is pricier or the same cost but rarely better. Or for non well known branded items, just drop shipped stuff that you could get on ali…

The CC interchange rate is fixed in Europe but not in the US. Should they be? ;-)

Can this be given a multiplayer flair? Would be a very fun party game!

But also like 5 people who need a ride once in a month. Cities have lots of people, many that don’t bother with car ownership.

Interesting! I’ve always thought engineering and Philosophy were good for the same reason. Builds logical reasoning and ability to communicate.

Now you have. Lol

I’m hearing they’ve laid off low performers…
