It's amusing to see the (perceived) David beat the (perceived) Goliath. It's not neccesarily fair, or nice, but punching (perceiv-ably?) up is funny.

Didn't China (https://www.worldbank.org/en/news/press-release/2022/04/01/l...) and the USSR (https://borgenproject.org/tag/poverty-in-the-former-soviet-u...) do similarly?

I find the concept that my ideas are not flawed (and how dare anyone suggest they are) and success is a matter of connections and existing wealth more self pleasing.

You see "people succeeding too much", i see "amazon workers peeing in bottles", which I suspect is a fundamental difference between Europe and the States (in point of view, i'm not claiming this is a black and white issue). I'd rather keep the safety nets and succeed a normal amount, as far as the society I live in is concerned.

An airbnb (often) has a washing machine, a kitchen you can cook on and a fridge you can store food in.

Is read count the metric we're using?

"personally, I have a second hand denon HDMI decoder thing, with airplay [..] dsp filtering [..] calibration stage [...] decent flat reproduction"

These are certainly words, and everything else being the same I absolutely would rather have the "bit wooly" kind of review to read.

Previously Londoner for ~8 years here. I can confirm the six month unfilled position period has been going on for at least a few years now.

If anything else, and at least on the high(ish) end of skill and seniority there's an artificial reverse bubble that I can only attribute to the almost pathological and almost allergic insistence of UK employers to have as few well paid employees as possible.

And the actual name for Greece is Hellas.

Of course they can be used for good or bad. So does heroin (which is fundamentally diamorphine and used medically). The issue is that nudge techniques as they are implemented on the web are overwhelmingly abusive.

"Nudge techniques" should be banned outright.

Good to see the 80s archive is embrancing 80s tech.

"90 day limited warranty guaranteed to be free from defects in material and workmanship."

Is such a short warranty common in the states?

As a robot with no feelings or worries, I do not see how you people just refuse to wait until ((friendlyDate.tomorrow))

Yeah, snarky but whatevs. The assurance of control helps, even if it’s just checking your phone is still working while expecting a call.

"psychological quirk". I see.

This website you’re reading now has “guidelines”, yet no-one is accusing hn of creating a harsher world (at least not in the word they use instead of rules).

Calling a detention facility a Nazi concentration camp is not the same as calling a grassroots effort a "telegram revolution". One is making an analogy to history, the other is using a vapid phrase to market a mobile app.

The geographical indication in the EU is used to protect a product's name/brand, not stop it from being produced outside that area. I can make Aceto Balsamico in my basement the traditional way (I'd need a basement first), and can sell it, but not call Aceto Balsamico.

My (admittedly) conspiracy theory fear is that a regulated facebook is a facebook tightly embedded in government ("It's ok to require a facebook account to sign up for xyz public service, it's regulated by the government!").

Hm, the actual tweets are claiming that the BLM movement has been taken over by flat earthers and creationists and continues by calling protestors irresponsible children.

"Cancel culture" is an alt right dogwhistle as far as I'm concerned, but the notion that you will not/should not get internet-yelled-at if you publicly post dumb, paternalistic stuff on twitter I can't quite bite on.

And all you have to do is work every day during a pandemic.

Do you sometimes think that instead of moderating bad behaviour, you're burying critisisms under the guise of rudeness, perpetuating the atmosphere in hn that seeps into (and from) the rest of the ecosystem?

Thanks for policing rude hn comments, friend. (seems like that's all you're doing)

You graduated in one of the most well paid, expanding industry of the last 40 years and made it. Excellent.

The HN crowd (and related ecosystems) have been using this as a mantra for a decade or more now. Interesting to see it only took worldwide attention and derision of this "model" to make us even consider it as a fallacy.

To me it further confirms it - don't trust either the industry, or the people in it.

Those poor middle classes, haven't they been through enough? They can't even lift themselves up through their bootstraps like those deplorable "low income earners".

Yet people still refuse to accept that sometimes, being first makes little difference, delivering something well polished and usable as well as having a track record of quality is worth a lot, and people make choices for reasons other than release timelines.

It was also a time when most people's experience with using a new operating system (nevermind different software) was their first, ui guidelines had different requirements because the use case was different.
