I see people saying this story doesn't belong on HN. genuine question, if this story were about a german national would it be considered as political? is palestinian existence inherently more political than other peoples' existence?
surprised to that "seeing like a state" didn't get included in the "legibility tax" category

I sail and was tired of the tooling around GRIB files. GRIB is the binary format for weather forecasts (what NOAA/GFS publishes). If you want to view one, your options are: install a desktop app like XyGrib or OpenCPN, pay for a service, or wrestle with command-line tools.I wanted something I could just open in a browser—drop a file, see wind on a map. Couldn't find it, so I built it:...
Is there a static analyzer/linter associated with this environment that can flag potential runtime issues upfront?
> A reader (or dare I say a wiser version of me), armed with a future model and dedicated to the task, will succeed with this port where I failed and that makes me uneasy.
hosting the status page on the same domain as the service is a choice
Evernote had multiple chances to get back on track. Its decision to rewrite its multiple apps into a single web-based one was one of them. In theory having only one codebase to fix bugs and build new features in makes a ton of sense.
Unfortunately the hard product work of simplifying the feature set and prioritizing server-side tech debt was overlooked. Therefore the new app was weighed down from the beginning because it had to support all these legacy systems.
IMO the best move for Evernote is to rethink the UX and tech architecture from first principals and have existing users opt-in to migrate their data over. It's a tough decision to make but I don't see any meaningful progress being made otherwise.
Ceramic itself is safe. Ultimately for a coating, the safety depends on what's underneath if/when it wears through.
does going remote impact one's salary?
As others have said, the option to easily configure the computer post-purchase would make a massive difference in terms of its footprint
Most governments barred non-citizens from entering, and none that I know of had restrictions on leaving. I don't think it's a fair comparison.
The mRNA vaccines are genetically engineered, as is a lot of our agriculture. I see your point but that’s why this test was so heavily regulated by the FDA and had to conduct many trails before it was allowed to proceed.
In non-covid times I'm not nearly this precautious and am super lucky to basically never get sick. I'd be careful of drawing any meaningful conclusions based on just anecdotal experiences.
haha agreed, sounds like things have changed
Not defending this Basecamp's policy, but their goals as a company are vastly different than Atlassian's, so it's not really a fair comparison. Which do you think indexes higher on employee happiness?
In theory it would work well in the US as many major cities are spread roughly that distance from one another.
I doubt it, but if that’s the method of comparison then you’d want to include the building and maintenance of the airport.
Did you read the article? Robert Mercer funded Parler.
Discussions on this site are typically respectful and insightful. Do mind elaborating with more specifics on why you think this article is bs?
At the end of the day ordering the new iPhone should not be easier than voting

A lot of smart people would beg to differ.
I wouldn't classify a natural monopoly as a good thing. It mostly signifies high barriers to entry for competitors and a market that's more susceptible to failure, as seen here.
Can anyone more specifically comment on some of the potential applications for this newly discovered material?
Our team ended up creating a Discord voice channel that we can each chime in on as needed. It gives us a "ambient chat" as one of my colleges put it and helps simulate working in the same environment.
