is that an opinion or a consistently enforced policy?

itsangaris··on Palestinian boy, 12, describes how Israeli forces killed his family in car
I see people saying this story doesn't belong on HN. genuine question, if this story were about a german national would it be considered as political? is palestinian existence inherently more political than other peoples' existence?

itsangaris··on Fabrice Bellard Releases MicroQuickJS
Is there a static analyzer/linter associated with this environment that can flag potential runtime issues upfront?
itsangaris··on The port I couldn't ship
> A reader (or dare I say a wiser version of me), armed with a future model and dedicated to the task, will succeed with this port where I failed and that makes me uneasy.

itsangaris··on Why Evernote failed to realize its potential (2021)
Evernote had multiple chances to get back on track. Its decision to rewrite its multiple apps into a single web-based one was one of them. In theory having only one codebase to fix bugs and build new features in makes a ton of sense.

Unfortunately the hard product work of simplifying the feature set and prioritizing server-side tech debt was overlooked. Therefore the new app was weighed down from the beginning because it had to support all these legacy systems.

IMO the best move for Evernote is to rethink the UX and tech architecture from first principals and have existing users opt-in to migrate their data over. It's a tough decision to make but I don't see any meaningful progress being made otherwise.

itsangaris··on Simple mix of soap and solvent could help destroy ‘forever chemicals’
Ceramic itself is safe. Ultimately for a coating, the safety depends on what's underneath if/when it wears through.

itsangaris··on Belarus has temporarily banned most of its citizens from leaving
Most governments barred non-citizens from entering, and none that I know of had restrictions on leaving. I don't think it's a fair comparison.
itsangaris··on First genetically modified mosquitoes released in the United States
The mRNA vaccines are genetically engineered, as is a lot of our agriculture. I see your point but that’s why this test was so heavily regulated by the FDA and had to conduct many trails before it was allowed to proceed.
itsangaris··on Flu has disappeared worldwide during the Covid pandemic
In non-covid times I'm not nearly this precautious and am super lucky to basically never get sick. I'd be careful of drawing any meaningful conclusions based on just anecdotal experiences.
itsangaris··on Changes at Basecamp
haha agreed, sounds like things have changed
itsangaris··on Changes at Basecamp
Not defending this Basecamp's policy, but their goals as a company are vastly different than Atlassian's, so it's not really a fair comparison. Which do you think indexes higher on employee happiness?
itsangaris··on Europe's night trains are on track for a resurgence
In theory it would work well in the US as many major cities are spread roughly that distance from one another.
itsangaris··on Europe's night trains are on track for a resurgence
I doubt it, but if that’s the method of comparison then you’d want to include the building and maintenance of the airport.
itsangaris··on Conservatives flock to Parler, claiming censorship on Facebook and Twitter
Did you read the article? Robert Mercer funded Parler.
itsangaris··on The world needs nuclear power and we shouldn’t be afraid of it
Discussions on this site are typically respectful and insightful. Do mind elaborating with more specifics on why you think this article is bs?

itsangaris··on ITER: World's largest nuclear fusion project begins assembly
>This is just not true

A lot of smart people would beg to differ.

itsangaris··on Turns out half the internet has a single-point-of-failure called “Cloudflare”
I wouldn't classify a natural monopoly as a good thing. It mostly signifies high barriers to entry for competitors and a market that's more susceptible to failure, as seen here.
itsangaris··on Never-before-seen “black nitrogen” plugs puzzle in periodic table
Can anyone more specifically comment on some of the potential applications for this newly discovered material?
itsangaris··on Show HN: I made a chat roulette for remote workers
Our team ended up creating a Discord voice channel that we can each chime in on as needed. It gives us a "ambient chat" as one of my colleges put it and helps simulate working in the same environment.
