In Australia Hyundai has a 7 year manufacturer warranty - contrasting with typical 3 year.

To me/my circles, that means they know their cars are excellent and are prepared to bet real money on it.

Many of those cars are now coming up on the tail end of their manufacturer warranty, and still command insane resale price for what they are.

The best language has an appropriate ecosystem as well - everybody hates PHP, but it's damn easy to plug in payments and <insert hot startup widget>.

Yes, the article is exclusively about the trade-offs when building bleeding-edge products, like how impossibly hard it is to sell in to customers who have no idea what the product is or why it exists.

All of the comments for some reason are about not using latest-nosql-db-from-producthunt in prod.

This is exactly me - I moved back to google for search when I realised I was subconsciously adding `g!` to every single search

In the least inflammatory tone possible, what do you think they should be doing instead?

There's a lot of pile-on about how they've done everything wrong without a lot of suggestion about what they should've done instead / should currently be doing instead.

For example, if Andrews and co cave to the federal and local pressure and re-open the state today, and everything explodes in two weeks, who takes the blame then? Still Andrews and co.

While it's been a huge outbreak by Australian expectations, it's still tiny when compared to the rest of the world.

If we had the 10, 15,000 cases per million that are more commonplace around the world, there'd still be a stuffed economy, lower employment, increased mental health issues, right? We'd just have another layer of mess with hospital overload and death that we don't have in a large amount at the moment.

What're they going to host it on, when they're finished the full rewrite to save 69usd?

With battery swaps?

I agree. It's also really hard data to find.

A faction of our media is running with it as cold hard fact anyway that a new wave of arson is completely the cause of our current crisis.

It's just a deflection point from certain media.

Commented elsewhere:

Arson has been stable for 24 months to September 2019, it's a shame the data capture stops there. It's made up to deflect.

Newscorp should definitely not be your source for anything climate related.

It's well documented that the Murdoch's (of Newscorp ownership) are part of IPA thinktank [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_of_Public_Affairs] push to portray climate change as imaginary. IPA drives Murdoch properties, right wing and conservative talking heads and seemingly 99% of the 'oh the greenies did (that thing that was enacted by the government in power)' conversations.

Did you read the article? Until it gets all 'get rid of the homeless' in the second half, it breaks down this argument in a lot of detail.

If having an active social life is why she missed out, then she is better off having missed out.

There's always one. As if you don't know.

I remember reading this back in the day. Reading it all over again today. Still madness!

WORKetc[1] is pretty feature packed and their support is supposedly second to none. (Disclaimer: I have worked with them in the past)

In Australia, we're breathalyzed and if it's positive we go back to the police station/mobile testing unit for a blood test, so the breathalyzer is really only an early indicator.

This is going to sound really naive... Isn't that just a website?

Southern Highlands.

The projects are easy enough to come by - freelancing means a disproportionate amount of my time ends up on boilerplate tasks that are both important to clients and difficult to charge for.

On-site meetings, catchups, what-if conversations can fill up a good chunk of the week. As the 'do-er' in my previous roles, I find this part of freelancing exhausting.

I'm in (outer, outer) Sydney, have been freelancing FT for 8 months, and find it's 75% sales and 25% 'work'.

I'm thinking about entering the job market again just so I can get away from being a sales person and get back to 'working'.

To offer some legitimate advice, I'd say if you haven't spent much of your career learning sales and networking, get started a year or two before you make the jump.

That wouldn't be a very useful phone anymore.

Also Laracasts has a great series on VueJS - mentioning it since it got me excited about VueJS and front-end JS frameworks in general.

I can already sense the clones being coded up.

Cool game!

I find a lot of value in those articles and have followed enough of them!

In a saturated market it might be how I've ended up with everything on digitalocean.

By the parents!

Bold OP's name in comment thread.

When reading comments, I often find myself scrolling back up to check OP's name to see if the comments I'm reading are first hand.

It's a simple one that would drastically improve readability IMO.

Why would this make a difference? I assume you are talking about the face that will contact the ground having a corner nipped off it.

Could you explain the reasoning?

The context switching added deeper understanding for me - mentally I might gloss over something that I could dig deeper into with a good source at hand - I love the format.
