Just to note - they specifically added those other commutations to elicit your exact reaction: "Some look shady, but it's mostly good".

You'd have to research what planes look like departing and landing. But without that.. I would have thought (as a layman) - is the plane doing anything to add vs cut drag? That cou…

Unfortunately the incredible bleed-through right now each day on politics in HN means I'll likely have to detox from HN itself. It's saddening, but maybe for the best too.

This is a post where the parent has already taken a very strong position/view, and is thinly veiling it in the form of a question (and not veiled very well either). Is there a way …

Exactly this. If I start a private enterprise, I'll be damned if somebody dictates that they have a private right to do or say some particular thing on services I pay hosting for. …

You have to discern what people here are really outraged about - and sadly, it's not free speech or constitutional rights or any real high principle. Those are just intellectual co…

Interestingly, ServiceNow is twice the market cap of Atlassian.

HN is missing a `word-break: break-all` on their `default p` class. (Your reply with an unbroken word that spans larger than the page width forced my page to grow (horizontal scrol…

Wow. Only in the US would non-wealthy people actively and aggressively advocate on behalf of the ultra-wealthy.

How did Confluence and Sharepoint compare? I'm curious (For context: I've only ever worked in BigCo's that used Confluence).

Trickle down economics has created one of the greatest rifts in wealth equality in history. Yet people like the GP still champion the concept and its variants. I earn fantastically…

Regional designations are complicated, but there is nothing complicated about passing judgment over the atrocities being perpetrated today by the CCP. I'm simply glad that there's …

I also want neither but if one must, I'd choose the US government to monitor my communication, a thousand-fold over Chinese surveillence :)
