Re:Shopify moves back to Native from React Native on Thursday September 10, 2026 @09:20PM (#49652373)
Yeah. No way we’re getting the full story. It probably goes something like this… we lost native engineers when we switched to React then we lost the engineers that were supporting react recently and won’t be replacing them because stock market. Therefore we’ll switch back to native and go with under skilled engineers using llms. This will work until we have a code base model collapse
Sure. Its a meeting with major bank execs AND the fed chair to discuss Anthropics new hype model.

Its definitely NOT, in any way, a meeting to discuss potential systemic risk due to insolvency/bankruptcy at some key AI-related company.

Re:Windsurf Gets Margin Called on Saturday August 09, 2025 @04:07PM (#44849685)
Yes exactly. The VCs and investors have broken the unwritten contract that early startup employees can see an exit like the founders.

It’s going to be much more difficult to get employees for early stage startups from here on out.

Re:Waymo driverless vehicle re-routes into oncoming traffic on Sunday September 01, 2024 @08:28PM (#41421485)
Had a driverless way make an abrupt left turn in front of me (going opposite direction) on Bayshore a few weeks ago. If it signaled it did so at the last minute. I had to slam on my brakes to avoid broadsiding. They aren’t safe.
I mean, we could be spending effort on making human driving safer, but where is the monopoly in that?

They’re all “libertarian” until their favorite bank goes belly up and needs a bail out.
Yes. The movement funded by billionaires and mass marketed by social media influencing is “counterculture”.
Why not do both? Get another job AND get back some income rightly owed you by a previous employer.
Re:Apple Vision Pro: Apple’s first spatial computer on Monday June 05, 2023 @06:21PM (#36204873)
What’s up with Apple touting this headset for remote work while they were one of the first to force people back to office.

And now Facebook/meta too.

Marketing hypocrisy.

A dry suit in Santa Cruz? LOL!

Socialism for the rich. Rugged capitalism for the poor.
Socialism for the rich, capitalism for everyone else.
Re:Ask HN: Employers, why do you want us back in the office? on Sunday February 05, 2023 @03:05PM (#34668665)
How about just reconfiguring bullpen office back to semi private cubicles or tiny phone room offices? Make the office a place to come to for a better work environment.

Let’s be honest- these bullpen setups suck and very few people want to “return” to that.

These companies are famous for price dumping as well. This ban is a good thing
No one got a $1.5m loan @ 2.5%. More like 3.25%
100% this is a disguised layoff - “encouraged attrition” if you will. Cheaper than a layoff
I agree about the major first dotcom bringing people who didn’t care for the values and culture of the city but disagree about the roughness. The mission and the part of soma near the old trans bay terminal were pretty rough. People got mugged in broad daylight kinda rough
Sure. Just like “competition” in broadband has driven prices down across America.
Re:The singularity is close? on Thursday March 31, 2022 @06:57PM (#30873185)
You’re 19? You should be more worried about how to survive the oncoming ecological holocaust instead of the singularity. One is much likelier than the other. I believe even an ML algo would come to the same conclusion
Re:Will real estate ever be normal again? on Sunday November 14, 2021 @05:04PM (#29221163)
Sorry. You’re going to have to move. Owning is for investors, banks, and other financial entities. /s

The best part is that if things go upside down in a few years we get to bail them out.

Just like encouraging people to run around unvaccinated and mask free keeps your donors who make a $2000 per treatment Regeneron very happy.
Marsha Blackburn signed on. That can only mean AT&T or Verizon is lobbying for it. She’s basically legislates whatever they tell her to do.
Passed by an overwhelming majority of voters
Facebook is probably clever enough to have optimized the layout and button placement of their initial alert to generate maximum mis-clicks on the “Allow app to track” button

this is a contract dispute. Do you not believe in free enterprise?
Re:Google suspending Parler from the Google Play store on Friday January 08, 2021 @08:05PM (#25694078)
This is less “censorship” and more “ending a business relationship” which Google is certainly able to do.
