You can choose to be Christian or not, you can not choose to be gay or not, and someone asking you to use their preferred pronouns is not nonsense, and getting fired for showing rampant disrespect towards your peers based on them simply existing seems fair to me.

What happened to hckrnews in the last few years, I'm seeing more and more of this kind of BS.

We are the AI. Capitalism is the maximizing function. Crypto is the paper clip. We’re fucked.

I would say that learning the basics of programming (if then for while functions classes structs etc) is easy and anyone can do it. Learning to think like a programmer is harder but also not super difficult IME.

Being a programmer. Doing it for a living. Getting good at the craft of programming and learning the foot guns and ins and outs of your chosen language/stack/framework. That’s hard. And time consuming.

I agree.

Once you've torn them limb from limb, once Pecker is rotting in a jail sell and the only thing the National Enquirer is useful for is recycling them into cup holders; then you walk into Playgirl and do a photo shoot of these exact photos just to make sure they all know it was never about the pictures.

Me and my wife are personal patients of Dr. Besh. While it is anecdotal, we have nothing but positive things to say about him and his practice.

He identified a problem with my wife's thumb that was causing pain for years. He root caused it and put a plan in place in our first meeting. He was excellent, professional, fast, and very reasonable.

I would argue that the only reason those none green things are cheaper is because of unpriced externalities. Externalities that industry isn't going to price in themselves, which means it becomes, again, a political problem

Hey sure, I can take a look at it :D

I'm just glad someone else finds it useful.

If you don't understand why these people can't leave, then you've never been poor.

The reality for a lot of these people is that they can't really afford to stay where they are, but they equally can not afford to leave.

No one is going to pay to relocate a Janitor from SF to Idaho. That Janitor can barely make there rent, let alone find the deposit for some place they can actually afford, and that's before you take into account moving costs, living while you find new work, etc.

The truth is, moving is expensive, very expensive, and if you live somewhere with a high cost of living, it's hard to drum up that kind of money.

If you actually believe this, you have never been poor.

I don't really know the answer to this, but most of the areas he's talking about seem like they would suffer from inelastic demand?

I think you're mostly right. The RAM problem will go away. The USB-C thing I think is a total misnomer; it's clearly the future of connectors.

My biggest problem is the obsession with "Thin and Light" crippling system specs. I get that a 11-13" laptop isn't gonna have the best GPU in the world, but I'd like a decent one in my 15" 'Pro' model please...and I'll take a little less thin and light to get it.

This is even more true on desktop. I don't really care about how bulbous you make the back of my iMac or Mac Pro, just give me SLI GTX1080s.

I get it, I'm the niche, I'm a gamer with a Mac, but I still exist.

KBL supports LPDDR4 and SKL doesn't. The current Macbook runs SKL.

...also...being insured is important. Like Prim.

Hi.

To some degree it can't be helped. Accidents will happen, but I firmly believe that the right response to this is to minimise the chances, and delight with customer service.

Make sure it happens as infrequently as possible, and when it does happen make sure compensate the user accordingly.

As I say, accidents will happen, but they shouldn't happen twice to the same person, and that person should be amazed as to how far you will go above and beyond to set things right.
