> Who here thanks HN for their service?

you see people thanking the mods like dang on here all the time. it's basically a meme. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu...

even if they didn't, why should they? this site is used as advertising for YC and their job ads. why should they get extra thanks for maintaining a forum for its ad space? do you also thank Facebook or Twitter for its moderation?

EEE is not really relevant here, they're not "embracing" fediverse at all. it's a completely separate app. they just vaguely claimed they would in the future.

Microsoft is the only company that i know of with a true EEE approach eg with Java

you're not trapped, you can deactivate a threads account without impact on Instagram

just drop a failwhale in for that true early Twitter experience

were they paying for their account? you can't expect much if you're not a paying customer.

threads has always been heavily advertised with its Instagram integration. the app is called "threads, an Instagram app" and the onboarding flow itself is based on your existing insta follows. you can disagree with this strategy but it's definitely not unintuitive or unnecessary, they make it extremely clear

interesting point of view. i think content creators would look at it the other way -- never has it been so easy to steal content as it is on an ad-supported internet.

> I'm ok with healthy ads

no such thing as a healthy ad!

this is such a bad analogy, unprotected sex is objectively way better just riskier. ads on the web are in no way better, and maybe marginally riskier than no ads

we just need better tooling for upgrading the individual locations. something like GitHubs dependabot

If nobody can use it at school, then overall it makes it probably less likely they will be owned or used at all. Then your kids risk falling behind and becoming as adept with technology as "old people" today. Not saying that this trade-off means that everyone should use smart phones all the time, but let's not act like this isn't a potential downside when they are a part of everyday life for French adults.

Most FAANG-level software engineering jobs will require being on-call with something like PagerDuty [0]. Though I guess you could get by with using just text message notifications and not necessarily the app.

'friendly fraud', they call it

>wife yelling at the top of her lungs

this is a problem with you and your wife's relationship, not the EV.

isn't the reason that stripe grew so quickly was because these smaller processors don't really work that well?

i also keep hearing that there's a ton of choice but whenever it's brought up, true alternatives to PP/Stripe are rarely actually given

what an insane standard. it's easy to find sources for an average commute [0], your assumption is more than double the total of <1h both ways. and as far as I know nobody has ever paid by hours of "intense focus," not sure how that's at all relevant to this conversation.

we're really talking about 1h of an 8h workday, so about 11-13% depending on your denominator. not trivial but something I'd happily do.

source for you being able to "sweat out" plastics?

this is absolutely not something a union should be taking a stance on. fear of a union getting bloated and losing focus on improving working conditions and pay is one of the biggest reasons tech workers i talk to aren't too jazzed about unions in the first place.

we don't even have one and already it's supposed to be opposed to some totally irrelevant legislation. i can see why people are hesitant to unionize

i don't think I'd mind that actually. I'd happily take a slight pay cut to be able to stay home

would be much easier for hr to just use the address you already have to provide them when getting onboarded and then use an API to get commute times

Most people doing software are salaried, not hourly, so this doesn't really apply very cleanly.

Would you rather get paid $100k and be paid extra for oncall, or $350k and not be compensated for oncall? That's the real comparison that's being made, and why people consistently choose the FAANGs where on-call is an expectation -- the extra on call pay isn't going to make up for the big gap in total comp.

where can I learn about the funding model?

hard to draw conclusions about the trend post COVID when you're talking about a year or two of data

> So we watched beginners put their data with no schema, no consistency, and broken validation in a big bag of blobs. The projects fail in mass.

source? although I was also a mongo hater at the time it was being hyped, I've yet to see anything concrete that would show this technology choice made a company more likely to fail.

over time, I've actually come to believe that tech choice is one of the least important decisions in terms of impact on a company's market success. which makes me not care so much about fads either way.

it's not no win. it's single winner take all

sure

why does the app give me a total number of cards to do? why not always present the card I'm most likely to forget and leave me to decide when to stop?

why is it so hard to understand the concept of a note vs a card?

why aren't there more ways to have cards be updated over time, to subscribe to updates?

why does the app cost $25 on iOS?

why can't I execute JavaScript within fields if my html/css is rendered in a browser anyway?

just off the top of my head. many more to list. i love Anki but let's not act like it doesn't have serious downsides

the note is the db model. the card is the view on top of that, which includes html and css. many cards can be created from one note, just like a db model can have many ways of being shown

really tired of this reddit play by play taking over HN. can we try to limit it to more substantive stories it possible? 3-4 things on the front page per day feels excessive.

i don't think op was referring to a legal definition but rather how things de facto are seen. I'm technically salaried too but i can't say I'm really valued based on my output

do you have an actual source? these are just terms for a trend that very few people are actually following. total time spent on digital devices and social media is only going up.
