I am buying this.

This language keeps the best parts of Python while discarding the bad. I clicked the link apprehensively, but I have to agree that this syntax is spot-on (for me, at least). So many new languages miss the mark.

How similar are Jeff Dean and Salvatore Sanfilippo?

I respect ACLU but this article seems a fair bit biased. They're stretching the imagination quite a bit in some of their examples. Seems to me that someone has already made up their mind and are now looking for any example to support their narrative.

I'd love for them to build a case more impartially and drop the activist nature of the language they use.

The author doesn't seem to realize that a healthy margin has been built into the inference pricing. Once low cost open source inference providers get their hands on powerful frontier level models, there would be a severe margin compression for OpenAI and Anthropic.

Usage of phrases like "Big Tech" and "Targeting" make me believe this article is written with extreme bias even before I click the link.

That is such a sad article.

He said “anecdotally”. In any case, I was wondering that if I know a friend who does this, how could I ever present a verifiable citation for it? You may have to rethink your ask.

Not true. LKY has been gone a while and Singapore GDP has only gone up.

This is a very neat idea. I am not sure why the page needs to load 40mb of data and make me wait 5 mins before the first view. I'd probably also add some ranking criteria to surface good quality articles that maximize the "I learnt something new today" factor. Overall kudos to the developer for original thinking.

Yeah it’s a slightly blurry line. What metric are you using? I’d say Seattle is way ahead of Minneapolis in terms of economic influence.

To put things in perspective, US is a massive country. All this news is coming from one tier 3 city. (Roughly speaking LA, NYC etc being tier 1. Seattle, Dallas etc being tier 2)

Please take my upvote. :)

Most of the commands you've mentioned have worked fairly well for me. Are you sure you're looking up cp, mv and find every time before using them? Sounds pretty weird.

I'd heavily expand on the selection. Maybe even make them AI generated with beautiful designs so people can go through an endless catalogue. Dream. You may be on to something and this may be bigger than your original idea. You could help people dream about stuff that does not exist.

That’s a good take!

We don’t have to make this political.

Is DEIA a new term? I've only heard of DEI. What does A stand for? Also the EO seemed to target DEI, not whatever A stands for. What am I missing?

Amazing! The title is a bit confusing though.

Have you ever run a company or are you just sharing opinions based on what you “think” should be done?

Unfortunately it was not recorded. We were all wishing it were recorded. PG asked me to write down everything I could remember before I forgot.

Oh you're same guy from another thread. You seem like you're on some kind of a mission here. My experience was 100% different than you. You seem to be generalizing from a small sample and paint an entire country with that baseless generalization.

I've had Indian managers and never experienced this. You're probably extrapolating from a small sample size which may all be from same company / industry.

Did it really help?

Ouch. That was a very sad read. History is full of so many injustices! It’s just sad all round.

Can someone please ELI5 why this link deserves to be the top on hacker news?

"If you have VC backing (they force their ventures to use each other's products), .."

I never met a VC that did that. Perhaps 1 VC in 20 does that? This sounds more like an excuse.

It needs to be renamed as the Tablet Theorem.

Not true. A certain segment of the population (early adopters) do not care about polish and these are the customers you're looking for. You really do not want to spend a long time polishing something that nobody cares about. This is the YC advice even today.

I am your exact target and I could try this right away. Can you please give more details on what currency conversion fees can be expected?
