every AI related post on HN has a timer until a “bubble” comment makes its grand appearance :)
bdangubic··on Improper redaction reveals Google Data Center water and electricity usage
there is definitely more to the story when you are not personally affected by it deeply, then you have the luxury of looking at “deeper meanings” and shit. when you are, shit is quite simple and to the point. I attend every public hearing, community open house and submit shit online (https://www.loudoun.gov/datacenterstandards if you live in the area) and it has absolutely nothing (and never will) to do with some conflict in some shithole place. it is 100% a local issue and it is not only if you have the luxury to not be personally affected by and which gives you additional luxury to dream up “global reasons…”

I live in northern va and I can tell you that histeria is about ballooning electric and other bills. vast majority of population is unfortunately “not there” in regards to any unrest about AI

everyone who posses knowledge of the level of surveillance they are subjected to and does nothing about it is implicitly pro surveillance
bdangubic··on There are only 5,000 elite software engineers in the world (2025)
yea, I switched jobs but always a through a former “boss” or co-worker poaching :)

this is for part of it. I have been SWE for almost 30 years now and do not have a resume. I interviewed for a ton of positions when I graduated from Uni, got my first job and subsequently never looked for a job again.

I think more of an issue here is that there is just way too many SWEs and we can’t all be “elite.” In my 30 years in I have worked with roughly same percentage of “elite” as the post is alluding to. The history/structure of just about every project I worked on boils down to needing two distinct group of SWEs, the inovators and closers. The inovators are the “elite” (within the project) and they figure all the shit out. The closers crank it out once all the shit is figured out for them

bdangubic··on September 2026: The world today, as seen by one Polish guy
True if goods are non-essential, false otherwise. It price of water went up 1,000% in my city demand would still be fairly strong (though sure we’d ration as much as we can)

bdangubic··on When did Google get so weird?
no one under the age of 16 uses google, my kid called me a boomer when I told her to “google” something
bdangubic··on ASML says it sold 'absolutely nothing' in Europe in 2026
it is literally almost nothing :)

I am too young for M&M, public schools are the worst and I pay ridiculous amount of money for private education. welfare services? depending on where you live (I live in urban area) welfare services would make sure I am just as homeless as if I didn’t get any welfare service…

and yes, the ER will take me to save my life but that about as low of a bar as one could come up with.

I pay similar in the USA and get literally nothing in “social” or otherwise return. I’d trade with french anytime

> This information comes from the card issuer directly, after the transaction has completed. It usually requires the mobile banking app to be installed.

except of course it fucking doesn’t, I don’t have Chase or Amex apps on my phone… and yet my transactions are on my phone and watch and in a list inside my “wallet” and probably in the phone settings somewhere as well :)

people will people :-)
bdangubic··on Banks and Credit Unions to Team Up Against Apple Pay Fees
don’t be silly, apple displays me exact amount on the screen, in plain fucking text, after each transaction - that’s crazy you wrote this
bdangubic··on Banks and Credit Unions to Team Up Against Apple Pay Fees
yea, feels like tech giants do not have access to this already? they know where you are and what you do every second of every day, keeping away from ( while they know I was a target ) what was the amount on my receipt is really giving it to them :)

bdangubic··on Jensen Huang says the junior developer problem ends in two years
love love this theoretically but in practice, at least in this “phase 1 of AI craze, unknown how long it’ll last” that someone coming out of Uni with deep knowledge of ABCDs of SWE will be unemployable unless she/he is AI native with harnesses coming out of their ears
