This is a company, not a charity.

Pretty funny that when textbook publishers try to do this, people really hate it.

Cool idea overall. Is this game based on any research? Wondering if this actually helps one get better at the skill of face-matching, instead of just memorizing these specific faces. FWIW I've used Anki for years with this exact name<>image combo for world leaders and haven't seen a corresponding improvement in my ability to do so with novel individuals in-the-wild.

maintenance burden has to be felt somewhere. it's nice when the vendor does it for you.

What x86-64 hardware provides software support from the manufacturer for 15+ years?

great question! profit margins have indeed been rising significantly over the past few decades, from around 5% to 12% just since the mid-90s -- https://www.yardeni.com/pub/sp500margin.pdf

Is there an actual source for this logic? Not a huge fan of arguments-via-intuition.

> congresspeople sleep in their office i.e. are homeless because DC rent is high

any source for this? your link just mentions a representative who has bad credit, it never claims he is homeless.

Do you think people are consistently keeping their phones for more than a decade? I get that anti-consumer vibe but this doesn't feel like a common use-case. Compare Apple to almost anyone and they stack up well.

What are you comparing it to? Python does bug fixes for 2 years, then security updates for 5 [0]. Ubuntu LTS releases do 5 years and you have to pay to get the 10 years [1]. Apple stacks up quite well against any competition I'm aware of here.

hmmm, feels pretty unpolished to me

Actually, it doesn't. Cereals can be sweetened or not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakfast_cereal

what are you talking about? there's a huge comment thread on here exactly about this issue.

Salesforce is 1/10 the size of Google. SF should have much more time for an aquisition of the same size.

I guess "drops a bomb" is a little over the top but the rest of the title are just facts. Salesforce really did ask people to come back, and he did indeed say he doesn't work well in an office.

what concretely are you concerned about if a "random weirdo" knows your address?

As sibling comment said, I think this is bound to cause unintended side-effects. I think it would be simpler to require per-unit pricing alongside overall cost, and regulate that amount. Nothing more frustrating than seeing a per ml or oz cost on one item and a per-count cost on one right next to it.

I'm personally partial to CBT. Burns' Feeling Great and Feeling Good are classics that have shown to be effective in research. Once you build familiarity with the concepts through those kinds of explanatory resources, individual exercises like those published by UW at https://depts.washington.edu/uwhatc/cbt-notebook/ can be done in a self-guided manner.

and yet the only way many addicts can get and stay clean is through exactly a zero tolerance approach

there's tons of self-guided resources online that are amazing at helping with mental illness that don't require you to submit to some person or organization that could report you. we need to stop seeing "talking to a therapist" as the only way to define getting mentally healthy.

would highly recommend Oz look for some mental health resources. nowadays there's plenty of self-study online, no insurance or expensive therapist needed. wishing him best of luck.

are you saying google is not an expert in software development? sorry, this fallacy doesn't apply here

I would have expected the ratio of $ spent on new fossil fuels vs. new solar to be a lot higher than 4. My mind is quite boggled.

The best resource I've found is https://www.theartstory.org/. They've got tons of artists and also do a good job of linking between them through movements.

any specifics that you can provide? in general I'm pretty skeptical of this idea that only medical professionals are useful for such information, but I'd like to hear concrete examples you have

I don't think most people have claimed they will commit a crime in the future. Not necessarily for climate protests, but in many cases in the US we do this same thing too.

So funny to constantly see these kinds of adjectives in titles about this topic. I thought that we had models that showed us just how shitty things are going to be, no? It can't be "unprecedented" decade after decade, either we have models we can rely on and we predicted it or we don't and need to accept that this whole idea of "tipping points" and climate change irreversibility is just a guess.

If we used this language with any other subject, HN would be up in arms about how sensationalist the headline is.
