    No definitely not true. It was in Source Depot if not SLM.

    Honestly sort of all of them. The Seal looks almost exactly like a Model 3 with better range Atto/Sealion are the SUV shapes that barely exist as EVs in US (Equinox maybe)

    I have recently moved from US to Australia and it is 100% clear to me the US automakers will get absolutely crushed by the Chinese companies if/when they are able to access US mark…

    This is the best comment I have ever seen on HN. Nailed it

    This has been a concern for me too. But the agent is just a statsd receiver with some extra magic, so this seems like a thing that could be solved with the collector sending traffi…

    Temporal is designed for industrial strength flows and scale. For example an HTTP based push mechanism can overload workers hence the queue. And its jusr code so not sure about the…

    This seems very similar to Secret [1]? IIRC there were some competitive apps at the time, YikYak maybe? Secret sounded scandalous, and maybe that was the goal, but it actually did …

    OK well then, we'd better not do anything about it! I don't think this is strictly true. Oil production is not fully fungible due to all kinds of issues including sanctions and pro…

    We followed the book The Contented Little Baby Book for our kids. Others recommended to us and sleep has never been a problem after a few months old. Kids thrive with structure but…

    I worked at a large valley based company that had their own data centers and badly wanted to decrease infra spend. It's WAY harder than it sounds. Remember Twitter is not a profita…

    It's not a few people. Twitter runs their own data centers, which means they own all of the THOUSANDS of machines in them. These machines, and all of their parts, have shelf lives …

    Remember that time FB was down because they had lost access to a core server and everyone was like "STAY DOWN"

    This is 1000% true and this thread really underscores now non parents simply cannot fathom parent behavior. I couldn’t, I had these same ignorant ideas based on my fleeting, non-ac…

    I think the hydrogen-electric [1] development is more promising here because it has the potential to deliver long haul flights with no emissions or contrails. While H2 isn't great …

    Tldr: solar engineering by blocking sun at L1 with big bubbles. This doesn’t reverse anything. It slows warming, but doesn’t de-acidify the oceans or decrease the CO2 in the atmosp…

    Not having a replaceable battery is a real problem. I have a circa 2018 Xps13 9370 that I’ve used regularly for non-work coding it generally still works great. Recently it was only…

    I really enjoyed The Long Dark. There is some violence and it has some adult (non sexual) themes, but it’s not primarily about fighting, it’s a wilderness survival game. I played i…

    This is exactly right. At the start of the pandemic, my company (a large well known Bay-Area tech company) saw improvements in our developer productivity metrics. Over 2020, they f…

    This is correct. And there will need to be some other mechanism to replace vested with payouts over time. Just saying “you’ll keep vesting” isn’t good enough. People will say ok I’…
