I’m not sure why you’re being downvoted at all. What you say sounds perfectly reasonable to me. An interesting technical explanation for why brokers ALSO had an incentive to block …

As has been repeated ad-nauseam elsewhere: Private enterprises should always retain the right to refuse to do business with violent and dangerous entities. The day the government F…

What is tomorrow I decide to build a new social app that becomes a blockbuster - and then a minority group that hates the caste I come from, wants to promote their anti-my-caste vi…

As another illuminative poster above noted, it increases the “victimhood” and “specialness” that Parler participants feel. They want to interpret this in fully combative terms. It’…

Libraries already don’t publicly store especially extremist material. This isn’t really different, only the medium/technology is.

As an apple user who enjoys the security and perf guarantees Apple gives via its walled-garden - I give a hearty “go build your own phone” to you :)

I would have replied to your interview question: “Check the Devtools” and you would have penalised me for not rote-memorising some arbitrary latency measure. And I would have been …

It is downright depressing how much HN is scathingly attacking her work because of this.

It is quite literally the definition of an ad hominem attack. But to continue the ad hominem attacks then: I would err on the side of caution in believing anything that exonerates …

It’s possible there are other forces at work here. Tencent is an owner in Epic Games/Fortnite. This may be a show of demonstrating their importance/reach to consumers, to proactive…

Close but not quite. Hottest tip: seek advice from the people who landed a job. Specifically? How they landed in their current role. As in anything, understanding what successful p…

Unfortunately, the labs reside in China. Even if we had hard scientific proof (and consensus, despite many in the scientific community deriving funding from CCP backed sources), it…

Interesting. But also to GP’s point, I never thought of that perspective. It is quite unsettling to realise the strangeness of odds that it occurred right next to the Wuhan lab...

Most of HN is not qualified either to judge the quality of AI, ML, opsec, renewables or any of a whole host of topics that are actually deeply complex. But that does not mean it do…

Actually, quite a number of places around the world still engage in healthier politics than America. Want to know why America suffers so much from such partisanship and extreme ide…

Ironically, having used both, Pulumi’s APIs are much cleaner/simpler than AWS CDK’s. I feel CDK was overengineered when I last used it. Pulumi has been a breath of fresh air.

They really didn’t implement a China travel ban? I find that hard to believe

Consider this: To date, have you observed any other countries and governments undertesting? And if so, was it for reasons other than the Olympics? That gives you a baseline of disi…

Be rational and consider all options: 1. The data is accurate and captures all coronavirus cases. 2. The data is not accurate and does not capture all coronavirus cases. I read the…

Almost. Correction: Bitcoin is a speculative bet that “others in the future will purchase more Bitcoin”. :)

Facebook offers an opinionated, production ready, battle tested framework for bootstrapping a modern React application with tooling/batteries included (with dependencies automatica…

Because it makes for a great strawman. “Look, JS tooling is so bloated, just to emit a Hello world!” I‘ve since stopped expecting any level of reason when it comes to HN bashing of…

Nobody in the world is arguing against the fact that CRA is overkill for a Hello World application. Luckily, that’s not it’s target space. If you engineer frontend applications of …

If you can manage to remain inside the Expo dev-loop, that personally is my preference for ease and first in class DX. I’ll definitely continue to observe Flutter/Dart, but the inv…
