I agree that I've written it to be combative, but we aren't talking about rust vs python, we're talking about several hundred people dead so far. Still, I definitely understand where you are coming from and I wish I had the ability to filter my emotions more

FAA, US Govt, and Boeing will continue to dig their heads deeper into the sand because Boeing is basically an arm of US policy at this point and the US Govt at this time will never admit to or show any weakness

5 months ago when the Lion Air crash happened, an HN commenter ridiculed me for saying Boeing made a crappy design choice to automate what pilots already did manually, without telling the pilots. The HN commenter basically said "we here at Boeing are working hard, how dare you"

well, now more people are dying. do we dismiss them as collateral damage from the "third world", or do we own up to the problem created by a poor design choice?

The reason the learn to code meme is popular with 4chan is because some journalists were insinuating that coal miners and truck drivers will have to learn how to code in order to pay their bills.

Now that journalists are being told to learn how to code to pay their bills, it is controversial.

HAAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH thank you so much for this, it was exactly what I was looking for... truly the empirical evidence we need.

Needs more shrill screaming and the amplifier needs to be roboticized to run circles around them, of course.

A well-paid truck driver can't do it because in many states, such as NY, a comparable health insurance plan is about $800 a month [1], and that's before you even see the doc or pay deductible.

>Joe Rogan

>fringe outlet

Ohhhhh my god come on. The world's largest podcast isn't a fringe outlet. I don't even like Joe Rogan's commentary but his guests are great.

Would they respond similarly to a DJI blasting Slayer music?

That would make me move, at least!

Typical HN smugness in the comments. The original reply is probably referring to Schengen areas and is confused about why on earth ETIAS should apply to them

>"I believe in freedom of movement between EU nations"

I think the original reply was talking about countries like USA, Canada, Australia, NZ etc that will have to do ETIAS.

Schengen areas are still true freedom of movement.

I am an American citizen and think all electronic visas are a silly pain in the ass, but are better than traditional visas which require mailing your passport somewhere.

The world should strive for true freedom of movement for all people. Show up in person, walk through customs like everyone else regardless of passport.

ETIAS is therefore a regression from the norm. But, Vietnam used to be paper visa only, and now is E-visa. So that one is progress.

No thanks! Cash and credit will never leave my wallet.

If someone doesn't want to accept those, I will find someone who will.

I can't wait 26 minutes for a tx to confirm

Why cant the public know about who we are paying taxes to assassinate?

As a former Oracle employee, it's easy to see Oracle's shitty business model--

"Extort everyone for obscene license fees because we currently can, and force them to buy cloud credits they'll never use because Amazon."

Holy crap thanks!! I will research this... definitely worth it. The doctors I called wouldn't even give me a price.

I am not am anti-vaccine person by any definition, as I have had plenty of vaccinations in my life.

However, I recently had to do a risk assessment for myself for Japanese Encephalitis, which is a $400-800 vaccine that only has a few years of effective dosage at best, and has a mortality rate of 16,000 per year out of 4 billion exposed.

If there's any chance that the vaccine has some type of chemical or substance that would cause an adverse effect in me, even if it was free, I would take my chances without the vaccine.

Similarly, I haven't received a tetanus shot in decades, despite really wanting to. I simply don't have the money because I don't have insurance, but I feel the risks of the vaccine are worth the benefit of not having tetanus.

Tyranny of any kind is the biggest threat and can be of the left/right/and center variety

Legal aliens

I'm assuming they ran the numbers and came up with something like this:

Cost of in person sales force: 100M

Cost of in person returns: 4M

vs

Cost of online only sales force: 4M

Cost of online only returns: 20M

And they realized they could save a ton of money and complexity while only inconveniencing a few more people than usual

"I pay way too little in capital gains tax and it is a thorough shame that nobody in Congress has fixed this issue in 30 years. In fact they've made it worse"

Wish I had a choice, I am a co-owner of a repair shop and this ship is sinking thanks to the larger majority owners being horrible with money.

It's time to walk away soon :)

I think before austerity measure were put in place (which I don't support at all btw), Greeks retired in their 50s and had lots of vacation, no?

Is productivity low in gross Euro terms? The Greek cost of living is certainly cheaper than most countries, but a loaf of bread is a loaf of bread anywhere you go.

Who has it better than the Italians? Maybe Greeks. Or the obscenely rich :)

As someone who is working 70 hours a week and whose girlfriend just broke up with him because she wants to settle down, it's non-existent currently compared to every day before.

I think cryptocurrencies were an attempt at this but apparently it's actually quite hard to make a resilient network that also has robust features and convenience

Unless they went to South Dakota, apparently.

Humans find ways to divide people based on any random parameter of millions-- they are exclusionary creatures ONLY until the point where they need goods or services from someone else-- then suddenly race and religion don't seem very important in that moment

Completely agree. If I was sadistic enough, a few web scrapers and .csv files and some workers on fiverr could keep enough tabs on millions of people so as to be scary.

And they probably will, sadly. It just takes time. If you remove their cultural identity through mixing of cultures, erasure of "non-sanctioned" cultures, then over time it will happen.

When displaying your non-Han-ness becomes something that will lead to you being imprisoned or denied jobs/housing/food, gradually all that will remain is Han.

Additionally, most people's budgets are not robust enough where entertainment costs can even be factored in, especially those who are most vulnerable to gambling.

The bulk of my budget goes to rent, car, and food :(

This 100%. I originally thought this was the US DOJ. When I saw it was PH, I said forget it. Duerte runs a junta. PH history is full of judicial malpractice.

Lol did they really declare a laundromat a landmark? I swear the tactics that certain people will do to get their way....

So then why am I getting red light tickets at 3am on empty roads. Why is the state fine capped at $30 and the "processing fee" $120?

Being Swiss, you give the American government too much credit. The government absolutely does not care about safety.
