This is one of the least informative discussions in HN front page that I remember.

This does NOT happen with Finnish tax rate. Your marginal tax rate can jump but that only for the euros after that bump. Your total tax rate goes up in more slowly. You’re always b…

Iran letting ships through for too small price means that oil price will fall and their only leverage over USA goes away.

I think Israeli position is what a security researcher states in this FT article: https://www.ft.com/content/dd070ee7-7021-4f90-86ec-690fe6aa3... > Summarising the Israeli governme…

Looks very interesting! In your pre-made Estonia-scenario, some of the attacks come from Finland. What's that about? I understand the launches from the Baltic Sea, but launching Ka…

Out of the examples, aerospace engineering was helped by many government interventions such as war-time buying and development of titanium working. On the other hand, it's also hin…

Could there be other explanations here? Like marginal cost of one taco when there might be less customers?

Interesting. What do you see being disappointing about tweets on Israel? I've mostly seen him care about Palestine civilian deaths but I can't say I've read and remember 100% of hi…

Both landfills and incinerators are good places for waste as long as they're not next to water bodies. They don't contribute to the waste in oceans that this sub-thread seemed to b…

On chat applications: In Finland no one used AIM and everyone used messenger. I suspect this was the norm also elsewhere in Europe. I am talking about Messenger 4.6 that came built…

I’d say that it’s backwards compatibility. My understanding is that moving from 1.1 to 2.0 (that introduced reified generics) required work from developers of libraries. It was als…

I've heard this often. Why don't they scale? I used them for some years for a team of ten or so people who all first had to learn to understand how they worked so might that be the…

From the same author: https://twitter.com/andercot/status/1688598313497694208 Video behavior can happen also with a diamagnetic substance.

I've been a proponent of Datadog usage over building inferior stuff with Grafana, Prometheus, ELK & it's ilk. But I never thought that Datadog could be 8+ hours down on such integr…

G1 GC totally has stw mode.

They sure can be seen as reactionary as one of CSPI's areas of interest in "The Great Awokening" (see https://www.cspicenter.com/about ). I found the article interesting as I've ju…

Sure, it all could've been avoided. Say, by similar vassalization as Belarus has gone through. Ukraine was too free of a society for that as many of its members did not want that.

With dry counties you mean counties that 25+ years ago allowed retail of alcohol only in Alko, the state monopoly store? I don't think counties can fully forbid sales of alcohol.

I would expect print-debugging to change the behavior in such cases too. Usually writing to stdout is behind some synchronization so using print debugging will drop performance and…

I think most of the companies are selling the vaccine quite cheaply. Moderna and Pfizer are asking for 15-20 $ / person for vaccine that has value of thousands of euros. Which, as …

Yes, that will happen eventually. Valhalla has now been coming since 2014, so I would not expect it to help any software project in the next two years or so.

I can feel for Mr. Kovar (the writer of the latter link). Looking at his resume, he did wisen up and did his master's thesis in computer science. I trust he's happier now than as a…

McAfee at least seemed to me like Intel executives didn't know what to do with the money they had, but didn't want to return it to the shareholders. Instead it was burnt on a compa…

Fructose is mostly turned into glucose and metabolized that way. No need to turn it first to fat. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fructolysis
