Normally what you were doing is flagged as advocating, while if you were lobbying you would have been a registered lobbyist. Not always, but usually.
It and Frontier were the only affordable airlines.

"Zed's dead, baby. Zed's dead."
I'm disappointed this wasn't the top comment on hn. Have we abandoned all culture?
I mean this is bad, but also there are silicon fabs all over the bay area, and have been for decades. Hence the whole "silicon valley" thing.
I use `yq` for this stuff and it handles most of this pretty well.
I would migrate off fast. If they are willing to do this with their oldest and most popular tool, I have no doubt they'll change the license of all of their code soon.
Definitely, but so does every advertising play. While AI companies are more egregious, this isn't anything new.
With all of the layoffs, we're seeing about a 50-100x increase in number of applicants for open rolls, so the market is definitely more flooded. Also I'm regularly finding applicants were over-lelveled in past roles, and so usually have about one or two titles higher expectations for level than they actually are capable of having.
Just rewrite all of your Python in Go. Python in 2023 is a mistake.
If your service needs to survive a global aws outage, you just can't run with any saas. So many of these companies are single regioned in AWS. Auth0, Okta, Datadog, many others put customers in a regional box, and if that region goes down, all of those customers go down.
This is also why you shouldn't take GPA or alma-mater into account when considering resumes. MIT grads are just as worthless as any other 21y old.
That's not surprising. hn has been home to anti-worker, pro-techno-utopianism for a very long time.

There is no cloud provider that is large that wants you building hobby apps. Google, AWS, Azure, Heroku, etc. all want you to build large apps, small apps are not their market and they actively don't want you.
Layoffs and outages at Circle. software supply chain attacks becoming more and more popular.
While this is great, there are so many more FOSS projects that OSX relies on that Apple doesn't support in any way.
Hiring Devops contractors to put together any piece of infrastructure. Infrastructure is so core to your business, you always regret and have to rebuild. Tried twice now and regretted it both times.
Beowulfs were huge hacks back in the day, but are similar to most super computers. The main difference from how many think of compute clusters these days is it is managed as a single machine, so historically needed identical hardware. Parallel processing and concurrency used to be more rare :D

I miss the original sim games. Simtower being my favorite.
If only they had open sourced it, it could have lived on.
Specifically small agriculture too. Most investment is in huge farms, very little investment in making small agriculture (think less than 10 acres) more affordable and accessible. Most of this is policy problems in the US, but globally its also a problem.
I thought this trend was a joke, did not realize people were actually using bots to deliver food.
