The lost jobs and the decrease in the demand for software engineers doesn't seem like an illusion. It might come back eventually but I wouldn't bet on it.

Might as well add The Talos Principle then

They were putting together advanced parts towards a nuclear weapon and IAEA says they weren't cooperating. Everyone knew what this meant. Even themselves, why did they need JCPOA o…

Why bring him up? No one cares about him. He's been lying about it all those years until it became true, that doesn't mean it's still false. I can say the universe will be destroye…

Everyone will agree with that. It's pretty obvious NK got nukes because they had an ally strong enough to shield them. "Unauthorized" referred to precisely the lack of credible sup…

Saying "Khomeini" on current day Iran casts a large doubt on how much you know on the topic.

I am familiar with IDF headquarters, they are located in a clearly marked base, you can see it on Google Maps. This is similar to French army's Hexagone Balard in Paris or the Ital…

The word massacre is loaded and does not represent the typical reality in Gaza. Most estimates place the ratio of combatant to civilian casualties within the range for armed confli…

You used the word indistinguishable, the other person used "deep". You are factually wrong since the ratio of Hamas to Gazan casualties does not represent random targeting even by …

This implies that inequality is bad. I would rather argue that poverty is bad, and it is at an all-time low [1], consistently raising the HDI everywhere technology is introduced. I…

What was the point of the parent comment?

Unless the company has a very negative outlook with outstanding debts (which Squarespace is not AFAIK), the price they have to pay to take over is much lower than the value of thei…

Note he's not a cybersecurity researcher, he's mostly a database engineer (a great one, making significant PGSQL contributions), so I'm not sure he's familiar with statistics and v…

Not anymore. I can't imagine what media doesn't have a free type of publisher (Youtube for videos, Amazon or Lulu for text, itch.io for games, Github for software, play store for a…

Not really. These days, if you have talent, spreading your work is as easy as making a Reddit or HN post and get traction in no time at all. What sinks probably isn't worth much at…

I'm the last person to defend welfare for the wealthy. I'm saying you're blaming the player rather than the game, which is an understandable feeling but is not productive to your g…

Not exactly something unions will solve, and not enough to destroy those gains on average.

That's all from the government, and by extension from the population at large, not from any set of rich people.

And also to not die, since they earn money for their children. It's the reverse of the usual inheritance situation, where the state and the kids both want the person to die.

One problem is that globalization comes hand in hand with centralization. All industries have a tendency to cluster around a specific place with the most talent or existing resourc…

If there was a standard checksum request within HTTP, sure. Otherwise you're going to break some workflows with this kind of aggressive caching. Maybe it should be an opt-in settin…

You can't expect Hamas to declare ceasefire after every attack then violate it again and Israel to just stand idle.

I did wonder how Low Earth orbits got killed.

And Gett is dependent on the taxi cartel, its excessive price, the black market of taxi medallions, etc. It's a nonsensical market and we're overdue a shared transport option. Good…
