chubbyrabbit··on Ask HN: How are you preparing for COVID-19 disruptions?
> the virus has already hit.

It's now an epidemic, not at pandemic level.

chubbyrabbit··on To get good, go after the metagame
I think the author lack the context of META being the acronym for "most effective tactics available", as most of the gaming world is using it.
chubbyrabbit··on Japan’s Lost-and-Found System
Just like most public systems in Japan.
chubbyrabbit··on Samsung Galaxy S20
I'm surprised that Samsung didn't release a cheap model like the S10e last year considering Apple is doing so well with their iPhone 11 strategy as well.
chubbyrabbit··on Is Git Irreplaceable? (2019)
It's only a problem at a really large scale. At the scale of Microsoft or Facebook, there are factors that lead to the use of a monorepo being more efficient. At that big of a scale, companies have enough resource to develop internal tooling to deal with the problem (e.g. the use of Mercurial at Facebook).
chubbyrabbit··on Basic Social Skills Guide (2012)
"I just want you to understand"
chubbyrabbit··on A 70-year-old's secret to a full and happy life
Nothing objectively matters.
chubbyrabbit··on A Black Hole Threw a Star Out of the Milky Way Galaxy
Yes. However, it's like pointing at the sun and say "That's not the sun, the sun was there 8 minutes ago".
chubbyrabbit··on The Efficiency-Destroying Magic of Tidying Up
"His room" and "his code" is not comparable in the context. "His code" is part of a business's product and can impact the livelihood of many people involved in the product including customers.

"His room" is a private space that doesn't affect other people. I don't tell my co-worker to clean up his side-project on github.

chubbyrabbit··on Samsung: Anyone's thumbprint can unlock Galaxy S10 phone
If that's true it means others can unlock it as long as my eyes are closed. I'm certain that's not the case.
chubbyrabbit··on Bike crash left Spokane man unconscious, so his Apple Watch called 911
Mine slipped a disc while shovelling as well. The torso twisting motion is really bad if you have existing back problem.
chubbyrabbit··on Tom Delonge’s UFO Research Center Is Making Politicians Demand Answers
> This is laughably stupid. QM and nuclear science?

I see nothing stupid with using quantum mechanics and nuclear science in this context.

> Can we call out politicians for just throwing in words that they don't know what they mean?

I'm sure they know what those words mean on a surface level. They don't really need to understand them beyond that point, it's not their job.

chubbyrabbit··on Reddit was down for over two hours
There's a reason he compared Reddit with Twitter and Facebook. You interact a lot with social media (commenting, liking, etc.) and also their content is much more dynamic and personalised.

Wikipedia is very static in comparison.

chubbyrabbit··on Let Children Get Bored Again
Of course there have been. It also doesn't change the fact that children raised by good parents tend to turn out better. It's a numbers game just like most things in life.
chubbyrabbit··on Bring Back the SE
I use mine two handed while biking.
chubbyrabbit··on Apple Watch Series 5
That's exactly what I do with my apple watch. They do last 3 days with normal usage.
chubbyrabbit··on Time anxiety: is it too late?
It's just like most things in life: It's good if you consume the right amount.
chubbyrabbit··on Anthony Levandowski Charged with Theft of Trade Secrets
I can tell from the goals he scored as well.
chubbyrabbit··on Deloitte: 43% of millennials, 61% of Gen Z are planing to quit within 2 years
> It is a shocking statistic.

Not unless you're a millenial or Gen Z I guess.

chubbyrabbit··on Jobs and Woz (2011)
Yes, Woz is one of my all times favourites.
chubbyrabbit··on Rendering on the Web
I get your point but it's like saying all of today's problems in the world are due to humankind.

I don't think anyone would fight you on that.

chubbyrabbit··on [dead]
Here's more details: https://www.cloudflare.com/learning/dns/what-is-1.1.1.1/
chubbyrabbit··on Jobs and Woz (2011)
He didn't make the transition to executive management like most big tech founder did.

Also the first iPhone was released 30 years after the Apple 1, that's several generations in terms of technological advancement. Bill and Paul were no longer at Microsoft 30 years after the first Windows release. Google is barely 20 years old.

chubbyrabbit··on Jobs and Woz (2011)
It's always nice to see Woz' recognition within the tech community as compare to popular culture where everyone talks about Steve.
chubbyrabbit··on Who Owns Huawei?
> state directed when needed

Isn't it the same in here in the US? The president said "hey companies, you cannot trade with Huawei" and every company has to follow.

My point is every government has some degree of influence on their companies. How much is another question. However in my opinion Huawei cannot be as innovative as they are with as much influence from their government as people here often suggest.

chubbyrabbit··on AMD Rome Second Generation EPYC Review: 2x 64-core Benchmarked
> I can't buy a Ryzen 3900X without paying substantially inflated ebay prices.

I'm experiencing the opposite. There has been so many deals on 3900X that I have to constantly tell myself I don't need an upgrade.

chubbyrabbit··on Apple’s Heir Apparent Is More Like Tim Cook Than Steve Jobs
> That seems to be a result of scaling vertical with the existing product line, not horizontally with new better product categories.

Nothing wrong with that. It doesn't imply a lack of innovation as well. They provide a good enough improvement on all software, hardware and service fronts to keep customer buying year on year.

A lack of a new breakthrough product doesn't mean lack of innovation from Apple. In my opinion it only means two things:

- The technology is not there yet for a new "iPhone" type of breakthrough.

- The expectation of people on Apple is so high considering their success in the past decade.

chubbyrabbit··on The Toyota Way
There's a joke that Lexus stands for Let's Export to the US.
chubbyrabbit··on Facebook’s New Cryptocurrency Gets Big Backers
Not related to the article but recently it's hard to get an objective view on any Facebook's news in HN comments due to the overall attitude towards the company.
chubbyrabbit··on Tesla – Introducing V3 Supercharging
His companies delivered, not him alone. Take nothing away from the man though, he works insane hours.
