asdsa5325··on Terry Davis has died
He was supported by his family. I'm sure you understand that receiving support doesn't make mental illness disappear. And in the US, no one can force him to take meds unless it's proven in court that he is going to harm himself or others.
asdsa5325··on Uber drivers “employees” for unemployment purposes, NY labor board says
But if you are part-time, then you don't get employment benefits.
asdsa5325··on 2018 MacBook Pro Review
I'd happily spend $2300 on a computer- but not a macbook. $2300 will get you far more power and quality.
asdsa5325··on 2018 MacBook Pro Review
Take a laptop with a good trackpad and install macOS on it?
asdsa5325··on 2018 MacBook Pro Review
> build quality

Hasn't macbooks been plagued with keyboard issues?

> good support

Limited support from 3rd parties is good?

asdsa5325··on 2018 MacBook Pro Review
It has never been powerful compared to the price.
asdsa5325··on Ask HN: What are your heuristics for deciding which HN links to click on?
Sorry sir- I didn't mean to insult the Great State of YC. Hopefully my social credit won't go down too much. /s
asdsa5325··on Elon Musk calls Thai cave rescuer a 'pedo guy'
This is exactly Musk's behavior. He does shit like this on Twitter all the time.
asdsa5325··on Elon Musk calls Thai cave rescuer a 'pedo guy'
It would be an easy suit. Especially since musk doubled down in a second tweet, saying he has evidence...

Microsoft Office Lens
asdsa5325··on ‘Downloadable Gun’ Clears a Legal Obstacle, and Activists Are Alarmed
Yes- but if you make the part that is legally the gun yourself, it's fine.

Anyone is allowed to manufacture a gun, as long as they don't sell it. If you want to sell it, you'd need a license.

asdsa5325··on Ask HN: What are your heuristics for deciding which HN links to click on?
What was wrong with my comment? It's valid criticism of HN readers; it's perfectly substantive.
asdsa5325··on PC market has seen its first growth quarter in six years
I doubt it. I'm a young guy with lots of gamer friends, and none of us are remotely interested in VR. It's clunky and unintuitive at the moment.

Business orders are likely driving the growth.

asdsa5325··on A Fight for Men’s Rights in California Courts
Your logic is "white men have some privileges, therefore white men have absolutely no prejudice against them and absolutely no problems in society". This is sexist, racist, bad logic.

If it contains the word "Rust" I automatically upvote

I'm not saying the odds are high. I'm just saying it is in fact possible.
asdsa5325··on White House earmarks over $1B for quantum technology research
> Weapons in space are very expensive

No, they just took a normal weapon and mounted it.

> dangerous. And they can be easily destroyed

Literally all mounted weapons can be described like this.

> Currently there are no serious weapons that can be useful in space.

Absolutely incorrect. The US has deployed laser-based weapons since the early 2000s. Used for missile defense mostly. As you can imagine, they perform well in the vacuum of space.

asdsa5325··on Living with a best-selling Indian phone for 10 days
This is absolutely incorrect.
asdsa5325··on White House earmarks over $1B for quantum technology research
They had a aircraft cannon attached to the Salyut 3 in 1974. No longer active of course.

I'm just pointing out that other countries are not afraid of weaponizing space- we are simply behind and at a disadvantage if we don't. Especially since satellites play an important role in military and civilian infrastructure.

asdsa5325··on White House earmarks over $1B for quantum technology research
Because it's a typo. China spend $101 Billion on all research in 2015. A small portion of that was more quantum physics.

WSJ issued a correction, as noted in a different comment in the thread.

Russia had weapons in space decades ago. We are behind

Unlikely? Of course, but definitely possible.

Or better yet, just remove the post because it is incredibly low quality.

asdsa5325··on Loon and Wing graduate from Google/Alphabet X
It's worked plenty of times. Intuit is highlighted in Lean Startup for having it's internal innovation programs playing a pivotal role in the company. The CEO at the time says that it saved the company from stagnating growth problems.

Cross-platform in Python is not a headache?

Yeah, it's a bit slow. It's faster than Javascript, though. The best benefit is flexible number size, so it's good for some types of computation.

What improvements in package management would you want? At least it has some form of management, unlike C/C++...

asdsa5325··on Ex-Tesla worker escalates battle by blowing whistle to SEC
(a) assumes that competitors took the information knowing that it came from Tesla. And civil lawsuits can be done whether or not charges are being pressed. A lawsuit is not immature at all. He damaged the company.
