Is there a list somewhere of all companies that still have middle management? Those are the companies to short.

I find your insistence that they can't be offended by a word with an objectively offensive historical origin fascinating. Do you deny that sometimes opinions on words and language can change over time?

"Mormon" was originally a derogatory term that was coined by those that legalized killing Mormons on sight until 1980. So some are understandably uncomfortable with its continued usage.

Just to be clear, fundamentalist Mormon means he had multiple wives, and most likely lived on a secluded compound or in one of the surrounding areas of one of these compounds. Your likelihood of interacting with such a person is near zero.

I prefer American screening. I was recently in Frankfurt and was very pleased to find they had a line for families with children, but then every single screen was equivalent to the screen you receive when you leave a water bottle in your luggage in the USA. Everyone was required to have a full on 2 minute conversation with the security agent, and children were screaming as they received intensive pat downs.

If you're going to have security theater, at least try and make it fast.

It's ok, since we're definitely getting all this money back we're spending to fund foreign wars. Right?

Right?

Because this is the Python Software Foundation, not the Gay Python Software Foundation.

Why does everything have to be hijacked by political activism?

Speaking as someone that's owned Chevy's and Tesla's recently, if you're concerned about Tesla's quality, I would steer clear of Chevy.

Don't get caught up in the hype. The technology is becoming commoditized, and only startups with unique advantages will survive. Look for startups with proprietary data, special algorithms, or deep domain expertise. Avoid ones that are just gluing together APIs or building generic applications. And don't chase the hype train. Invest in startups with a real chance of success.

Big steel truck look fun

Parent claimed the LDS church embezzled billions. There's zero evidence of this. It's literally a conspiracy theory.

I'm sorry you feel my ethnicity is a cult, I didn't choose it, but I am proud of it.

This complaint was resolved. They received a small fine for organizing the funds incorrectly. But the money was legally donated and it's not illegal to invest money donated to a charitable organization.

Also, you've posted this article twice in the past week. Hacker News is probably not the best place for your Anti-Mormon crusade.

I guess I've never looked into everything that can constitute sexual harrassment.

If person A draws a naked picture and shares it with person B, and it looks like person C, then person C has been sexually harassed?

Anyone else think maybe Apple Silicon in the Macs is hurting their sales? I used to feel the need to upgrade my Macbook every 2 years or so, since the battery life would have dropped significantly and the fans were giving me a constant jet engine drone in the background of my work. But my M1 Macbook Pro still lasts all day, I've never heard the fans, and the only task I've given it that it struggled with was local AI image generation. It flies through everything else imaginable. So why would I buy another one?

So if a teenager is skilled enough at drawing on their iPad to make something look photorealistic, and they draw a naked picture of a classmate and share it, should that be illegal too?

I'm not trying to say it's ok, but just like the person you replied to, I truly find these things comparable.

That's exactly where my brain went. Now I need a Huberman Labs podcast telling me how I can incorporate this with my supplements and cold showers to achieve my maximum potential.

This is a big nothingburger. If you only look at the enrollment at LDS church owned universities, then that fund would be a much smaller "endowment" than other comparable private universities have. Not to mention that the church heavily subsidizes tuition, tuition at LDS schools is unbelievably cheap. But also, the LDS church does way more than just run schools.

If funding is truly the underlying problem, why does Utah have some of the best K-12 outcomes in the country while being dead last in per pupil spending?

> On the other hand, a lot of what I do doesn't require 12 years of training

What, besides surgery, really requires 12 years of training? I've found I have a greater success rate with self diagnosis and treatment than I have with seeing my physician, and I've found a very good internist. An hour spent with ChatGPT and Google and I always find a couple options that fit what I'm experiencing as well as detailed descriptions on how to narrow it down. And since I'm the one experiencing the symptoms, there's no chance of a communications breakdown between me and the doctor who is trying to diagnose me.

The majority of Americans are the richest most privileged people on the planet.

Skill issue

Why would ip-cloaking be necessary if it's your own site?

On average, Tesla batteries are at 80% capacity at 200,000 miles. So no, I haven't factored in battery replacement cost. Electrical components typically fail early if they fail at all, so any replacements would be covered under the generous battery warranty.

As another commenter mentioned, they're cheaper today. Factoring in gas savings, my Tesla Model Y pays for itself at 240,000 miles. Tesla's seem to have no problem lasting that long since they have 1/10th the moving parts of ICE cars to fail, and the car requires no regular maintenance. The break even point is much lower than 240k miles, especially when you consider that the Model Y seats 7, has a semi luxurious interior, and accelerates from 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds.

We've yet to build a single machine that is intellectually capable beyond our own understanding.

I appreciate the point the author is trying to make, although I find the method kind of confusing.

There's a community I recently watched spring up on Reddit with the entire goal being to have a space to discuss Utah without every second comment being "Fuck Mormons". It grew pretty quick within the first day, but then the creator and community had a couple discussions on the best way to describe and enforce that rule. No discussion of Mormonism at all? No positive or negative sentiment towards the religion, but you can mention it in passing? It's certainly not an easy problem.

Inb4 the comments turn into anti-Mormon weirdness.

Where was the discussion on hacker news when Tennessee passed this same law? (As mentioned in this article)

There's a rivalry between the NBA fan bases of the Utah Jazz and the Houston Rockets. Commonly this manifests as little jabs Rockets fans will make, mocking Utah for not having internet.

Always funny to see this brought up when Utah was one of the first places on the planet to have the "Internet".

I can appreciate this, but there's a reason I said 95%. The stuff I see being built so far is really an extremely thin veneer on top of the API, but that could change with time.
