maybe how much money you are willing to spend isn't a perfect measure of how important something is?

have democrats not made similar statements about Trump, him being a danger to democracy and such?

> The company has more than 1.5 million employees across its warehouses and offices worldwide.

> This includes around 350,000 corporate workers, which include those in executive, managerial and sales roles, according to figures that Amazon submitted to the US government last year.

So roughly 4% of jobs in Amazon's corporate division disappeared. Not to downplay that the world/economy is in a bad state, but I don't think this is very catastrophic.

why the extra step of making them into PDFs?

I honestly don't think they're that different, from a psychological point of view.

there may not be an algorithm at work here as there is on Instagram or TikTok, but there's still a bubble - the name, design and discourse of HN itself works as a filter.

mind-blowing. like tamagochis for the modern age.

> At the time, I went "WTF?" and just commented it out to get it running again. I had bigger fish to fry... and just kind of forgot about it. Everything seemed fine.

You're running a database system and you just casually comment out the configuration setting the timezone?

In what way did everything "seem fine"? SELECT 1 returned something? No further investigation required??

> Vortex is designed to support decoding data directly from S3 to GPU, skipping the CPU bottleneck entirely.

how is this significant? surely either the network or the GPU calculations is the bottleneck here?

what's the difference?

The world might have people like Erdogan hold less powerful positions if large social platforms like Twitter didn't enable populism and suppression so easily.

How is purchasing advertisement any more safe from free speech suppression than posting on X/Twitter, Instagram or similar? You're still subject to algorithms, and because advertisment goes through a private entity, they can instil arbitrary restrictions with some amount of effort.

Have you considered that LLMs are also biased against new languages and libraries, so the code quality will be worse compared to something more established regardless of what you personally think/feel?

It's very easy to go from what you're describing to a place hamstrung by nitpicking, though. The code review becomes more important than the code itself and appearances start mattering more than results.

Sometimes, over engineered approaches are necessary to make older software work with environment variables and configmaps, because said software is still designed for traditional VM deployments.

You'd also have to maintain the helm chart, which is arguably far more work.

If you don't need the bitnami helm chart functionality, using more stock container images is easy and preferable.

... but by being allowed to be bad at their job at 21, they are more likely to find success later.

do they? can you give some examples?

don't fall into the trap of limiting the argument to inheritance, there are far more benefits to being born into a wealthy family.

> Grok suggests around 15% of US adults are involved in starting or running new businesses, based on recent data. This makes it sound like much of the people in the 10% are there because they started with most of the stock of the companies they created.

.. or those that own stocks are more likely to be in a position to start a company.

one of these possibilities seems more likely than the other if you ask me.

so how does this align with your opinion/idea that a stock market crash today would reduce inequality? more likely the same thing would just happen again.

ironically you are contributing to the poor discourse by vaguely pointing to a lack of fact based views, but without specifying which facts you think are wrong or missing in this discussion.

the way I read what you wrote, it seems like you think Zelensky's argument is bad and purely emotionally motivated, but the fact that Putin/Russia has broken agreements and ceasefires is a very valid concern, isn't it?

if the conference had ended without argument but behind the scenes Trump/Vance were setting up negotiations that go against Ukraine's interest, that would not have been a "win" for Zelensky other than in terms of a contest of popularity - but only the popularity among westerners who have no real personal stake in the conflict. it's Ukrainians and Russians who are dying on the front lines.

enlightening how exactly?

did it change your opinion somehow?

the per capita version of your graph: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/A229RX0

it claims that the average person has 50k usd in disposable yearly income - there's no way that's after housing and other non optional expenses have been accounted for.

using this measurement, if wages go up 5% but rent goes up 50%, it would still look as if people have more money to spend than before.

I think it's more projection - assuming anything that benefits you benefits society as a whole.

House owners assume everyone else is also a house owner, so increasing values will benefit everyone.

where have you looked? I could name almost every European city as an example...

did you simply ignore what the parent poster wrote about it updating itself with gate numbers etc.?

nah I just don't like your writing style.
