tip of the iceberg.. There is a lot to cover and almost all of it is well hidden. Biggest culprits being the Ocean and dense unreachable forests.. Also there is the constant of cha…

CFPB needs to be burned to the ground. How tf is this even constitutionally legal? It doesn't matter what your political leanings are or what you think about the matter at hand. No…

Its almost here. They've been making a lot of progress on windows and linux support: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/commits/main/?since=20...

I guess the point is not some libertarian utopia, but rather to eliminate any and all institutions and mechanisms that fulfil this post WWII socialist idea of corrective redistribu…

Thats the thing, there is no risk. No free market entity is going to write off tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars on pretty much most 18 year olds. Its almost entirely backed…

The elephant in the room is the modern collectivist initiative of college/higher education for the common man. I don't how people don't see it, especially the HN crowd.. This artic…

"recorded history".. glacial maximums and minimums.. Also would be very helpful to look at the worst case predictions and what that would entail hundred years down the line. Its no…

The British empire peacefully transferred power to their descendents/cousins, this is a success story. Speaking english. Christian. Shared ancestry. Besides, we are not talking abo…

Btw going to back to my op, this is exactly what Putin has been doing by working on hypersonic missiles. Taking Crimea. Trying to forcefully bring Ukraine back to Russia's sphere o…

Over the span of three decades your nation went from being a global superpower with immense economic, political and military power to a rapid declining shell of its former self. Yo…

It goes with out saying, I mostly disagree with Noah but I find the depth of his content so refreshing. It is very rare to see this level of sophistication and depth from the peopl…

Interesting read. The underlying point here is what many of us have been saying since the beginning of the conflict. Putin is not some crazy drugged up megalomaniac. Morality aside…

as a side note, I think 7 trillion is likely a gross misrepresentation. Its probably somewhere between 100 - 200 billion.

Climate Change: Energy != climate change. Even if it entirely did, using it as an argument without including the benefits is to put it politely (i dont want to) is very silly . AGI…

This is true but the thing is, it can take a decade of two for the free market to do its thing. Its really hard to break network effects, especially at Apples scale. If it was just…

Microsoft did the exact same thing and it took them the better part of almost two decades to undo the damage. The difference here is the entire map has shifted. Tech is no longer j…

The alternative is to take the L and turn it into a win. Being forced to open up by both the EU and homefront is more than enough a mandate for Tim and the rest of the leadership t…

There are so many minor (sometimes major) differences in how even macos(zsh/bash) and linux (bash) works, let alone windows (cmd, powershell) A layer that abstracts these differenc…

At some point you have to pay the pied piper. All the collectivist projects ("safety nets") are just shifting liability/cost/risk from one part to another at the extreme detriment …

I would much rather get a risky tech job in the US than in my current country (UK) where we get paid half or even less than half.. Btw its not just the money either, imagine the ki…

These kinds of takes really rubs me the wrong way. Its basically saying "X doesn't make sense to me so it must be wrong therefore it shouldn't exist". In reality, people (especiall…

I never understand why these kinds of practices gets so much hate. If you have the qualifications for this type of job (high skill high pay) then life is pretty much choose your ad…

Digital Ocean too: https://status.digitalocean.com/incidents/bw3r3j9b5ph5 I don't know if I should be proud or scared that a lot of these products are just wrappers around Cloudfla…

This is not looking good. I really hope they don't move away from dogfooding because of this. Also vercel deployments (and edge functions in general) aren't working. Their status p…
