And all the hippies grew up to be yuppie boomers. It happens.

I don't know what the demographics of HN are but I suspect the average user is not a 22-yr old anarchist with a callous disregard for material reality.

> Toyota is also about to go heavy into EV, and with it a trusted customer base.

I had been under the impression that Toyota's leadership was (IMO rightly) highly skeptical of the EV market. Source?

I had to make an unexpected trip out of LA last week. When I flew back in, Google Maps gave me an ETA of 1 hour 14 minutes to drive 13 miles home from the airport.

Until your leather jacketed friend burst fires right behind you.

It's not an Anglo or US-centric view, it's the standard internationalist Marxist view of the perpetual class struggle within capitalism for centuries now.

In your country, the balance-of-power is slightly shifted toward the working class (at least compared to the US, as well as most of the developing world). Unions, for example, serve as a buffer to prevent the worst of the exploitation, but the foundational exploitation of labor remains. Labor laws, minimum wage, also exist for this reason, but do not change the fundamental nature of the relationship. Their mere existence and lack of inverse mechanics (i.e. maximum wage, for example) should tell you all you need to know.

This conclusion shouldn't be shocking to anyone. The entire foundation of the employer-employee relationship is built upon exploitation of labor value. So when an employee signals loyalty what he's truly signalling is that he's open to a higher level of exploitation.

Extremely rough, getting little-to-no interest on the market with 10+ years of experience. Currently employed but the threat of another massive layoff within my company, and/or the possible elimination of the entire engineering dept. as we know it looms heavy.

If an entire industry can be killed by a public service, it probably didn't deserve to exist in the first place.

No Linux support? Also is this built in Electron?

Are you hiring now? :)

Being suspicious of media emerging during wartime is not "living in an alternate reality." Fuzzy images get passed around on Telegram, make their way to Twitter/X, and then 2-months later it's determined they're from an entirely different conflict despite the media and official outlets uncritically running with the narrative.

Skepticism here is quite rational.

People should always be skeptical of war propaganda, especially in the social-media/AI age.

It's the founder effect. While on the surface it looks like "large amounts" of migration, it in fact represents a very small percentage of the gene pool. That group effectively becomes an isolated breeding population (though it's far more complex than that because groups would often encounter other groups and there would be interbreeding and such).

Yes, so says Western propaganda. Drink it up!

I can't speak to the economic side of this, but intuitively, the idea that one required to sell their labor to survive must pay taxes on that, has always rubbed me the wrong way.

Interestingly enough, the DPRK ("North Korea") outlawed income taxes in 1974, calling them "remnants of an antiquated society."

+1 for Drizzle. I was really drawn to Prisma because it seemed elegant, but the problems surfaced by this blog post are really concerning.

Makes you wonder what sort of degenerate experiments the CIA is doing in 2023...

- Developer time is always the biggest bottleneck at any org I've worked with. Anything that let's you get around it is worth its weight in gold.

To each their own I guess, but it's hard to imagine NASA going to the moon being led by a marketer or business analyst.

Hard things are hard. And hard things done right take time and precision.

Friendly reminder that the three-letter agencies are very well embedded in every single "subversive" organizing community in the U.S., be it "left" or "right-wing."

Anonymous allegations from more than a decade ago, procured by a fishing reporter, should not lead to the cancellation of someone's means of supporting themselves. This is absurd, regardless of whether the accusations are ultimately true or not. Beyond the absurdity, this is tyrannical.

Even the "testimony" they released was recorded by an actor. There's simply very little of substance here.

I know Godot team is very committed to GDScript, but I find it hard to see it as anything but a toy scripting language. Seems like it would be a real mess with a big, complicated project.

Godot w/ C# however is very nice and gives you a lot of flexibility with your architecture and code.

Big discussion already happening here:

I really like Godot, though I'm still using 3.5 LTS. You can use it with C# / Mono. I've heard it's not great for 3D, but I only work in 2D anyway.

Does this mean the developer has to pay a license fee if someone acquires and plays their game in a "non-standard" way?

Always be weary of people/institutions using words like "harmful content" and "extremist."

Construct seems more fitting. I also read the headline and thought it sounded like a mistake.

The ACLU changed quite dramatically around 2016.

Indeed at times it does feel that the old Internet is dying from link rot. I've recently ventured into modding the original (not enhanced) Infinity Engine games, and many of the utilities and tools used have been lost to the ether.

"and pave the way for Apple to become the most important technology company ever"

Yikes, that's a hell of a statement about a company with 20% global market share on smartphones and 8% on PCs -- as well as a negligible enterprise and server share.

Apple's only the most important technology company to the professional-managerial class, where the social clout gained by owning an Apple product is much more important than the product itself.
