To maintain this standard of living you're always going to be dependent on someone, it's not a government problem.

Aren't they already? Their source code leaked late last year https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24994746

The name for the variable is kind of weird, it feels a bit like Java (having 25 years of history to account for). I wonder what the Kotlin for JS will be.

I'm writing this inside one. The main problem with khrushchyovkas is that sound isolation is horrid. You can hear steps from 1 (maybe 2) apartments over.

Please double check your math before doing a hot take paragraph.

I don't understand how any neck holds up to sustained use of devices with this screen placement.

Depending on where you work, if you're a great developer then the income can be around 2500-4500€ a month take home, which is 40k - 90k eur (gross, not payroll) a year. Considering the average (and very liveable) salary is 1100€ take home a month, it's really great living costs wise.

I think apart from the post-soviet Central European countries, Baltics are the outliers, and Estonia is the outlier among them (with Lithuania catching up). Mostly because of lenient tax policies and high levels of entrepreneurship. But all this growth does increase inequality a lot, a person in the countryside might take home 600-800€ a month in comparison.

Keep in mind that most taxes and benefits are missing there, so it's better to consider US salaries as payroll costs in Europe.

In my fairly liberal country (Estonia), 75k eur a year renders around 42k eur a year take home, really great salary living costs wise but taxes still take a large chunk.

Just goes to show how difficult energy storage is

Are you seriously suggesting something as complex as this could have been predicted with certainty? Seems like retrospective wisdom.

Are you aware of the fact that most companies cheated with emissions? Volkswagen was just a scapegoat

You know it's all for show when the employees actively celebrate ICE contracts for $56k, and when minorities use the word "nazi" to describe far right protesters they are fired as a kneejerk reaction.

For those who are actively using esbuild with TypeScript, how do you check the types?

There's no need to complicate static sites with jQuery. All it does can be achieved with vanilla.

You don't even need payment problems, someone can call into the support and have your account disabled.

My mom's Apple account was disabled with the same message, thought it was billing related as well. It turned out that someone with a similar surname had called in and requested their account to be disabled, but the call had cut out. The support rep happily connected the two dots and disabled my mom's account.

Most of money today is from issued loans. The worst that happens is like the fears in 2008, where the loans (or the assets bought for those loans) are worth a lot less, and hence a lot of money will be as well.

For me, their time estimation has always been terrible and dishonest - they routinely estimate 25-35 minutes for places that almost always take 70min+, on really busy days for really common orders.

Not specific to schools, but Japan is still racist to anyone who is not Japanese, very intolerant to plus-size people, and intolerant to anyone with a differing opinion - those who don't participate in the general groupthink, which is very much far to the right.

Maybe it's just the weird intolerances - but Japan seems to have much worse and bigger intolerances than anywhere else.

No, cars haven't been good enough for years. There's tons of fuel savings technologies being developed and added to reduce carbon emissions and pollution as much as possible (widespread turbocharging, start-stop, mild hybrid and full hybrid, smaller displacement, particulate filters). Not to talk about safety, with the forward-collision warning etc.

You can always get a 20 year old Toyota, and that will be more-or-less what you described. But if you want to buy a modern car and drive it on public roads, you have to abide by the rules.

if 70k a year is very very low to you, you should really start travelling after covid ends. the poorest billion people on this planet live on 1 USD a day each.

Both MBP and PS4 aren't capable enough to run it without serious problems (PS4) or at all (MBP).

Best solution is cloud streaming, geforce now seems more capable.

Robots are the goal for Tesla - no labor laws needed for them (probably not for people that build them as well)!

All jokes aside, Hyundai can probably do much more with Boston Dynamics than Tesla. Tesla has already failed to automate, using the exact same method as Ford in the 80s. Doubt that throwing more advanced tech at it solves a fundamental logistics problem.

Diesels sometimes command a 30-40% price difference to petrol engines in Germany thanks to the bans and the stigma - perfect if you're living in Eastern Europe and willing to import.

"Thought" would indicate it knows what the words mean - I highly doubt it, even with the massive size of the network. It just knows which word is coming next, given the previous one.

Silicon Valley hype with GPT-3 has gone too far. It's just a probabilistic language model that has sampled a lot of the internet. It cannot think, and is echoing our thoughts back to ourselves.

The approach they show in the end - it's still machine learning though? Exploring a space and finding parameters to optimize for a loss function (speed around the track), just not deep learning with neural nets.

That's coming out of the musicians' pockets...

Sketch Cloud seems very similar to Zeplin, which still has limits to collaboration compared to Figma.

Also, the focus still seems to be on the Mac app, everything goes through that. That's still a big hurdle when it comes to collaboration.
