Chrome and Google search have their own nudges right? I get many notifications from gmail telling me to install their mail app, or from google search telling me Chrome is better.

What's the legal argument that could apply to one but not the other? Chrome has a better case of being called a monopoly in the browser space.

I'd be interested to hear what it was like on the dev team. I'm sure they don't super care about throwing elbows at Firefox now that that fight is won, so maybe the issues are just holdover from past decisions.

But 10 years ago... was it just "don't test on firefox"?

Or "heeey, we just made a brand new feature [that no one else uses] go ahead and use it in mail and maps!"

Or more openly nefarious?

With how much Chrome "Oops"ed Firefox[1] I am fully in the "kick back and eat popcorn" mindset of this fight.

If only Chrome could do the same thing to Edge than people might be clamoring back for Firefox.

That said, Firefox would have the least ability to stop this... if it gets to all out mudslinging the only option that would be "safe" is Safari on MacOS using duckduckgo or something. As any other config someone can and would inject "nudges" to the other.

People knock it, but it's the best system in the world. Costs more per capita than anywhere else, long waits for specialists, doctors and nurses are overworked, and many have to fight insurance to get even basics needs covered.

None better though*

> Board candidates are selected by the REI Board Nomination and Governance Committee. In earlier years, board elections were competitive elections, with both board-nominated and self-nominated petition candidates. In recent years, REI eliminated the opportunity for petition candidates and has nominated only as many candidates as open positions.

Emphasis mine. Sounds like OfSanguineFire's comment is right. The Governance committee decides how the company is run and members don't have a choice of candidates besides rejecting them.

Reading the article I figured this event was in our galaxy but it’s 22 million light years away! Makes sense that other telescopes couldn’t resolve it.

Baja has a great point, but I think another one beyond the transit time is relative size.

Unless there's a jovian planet with life out there your best bet at measuring a regular sized planet is around a small stars. Dwarfs.

When we had our massive planet surveys measuring transits we found a shit ton of jovian's around stars and some earth sized planets around smaller stars.

Time to measure transit and relative size are king.

Surely you see how evidence is necessary for something to be believed right

It's "authentic" in the same way that when you see something labeled authentic it makes you more likely to question if it's actually what it says it is because authentic thing don't need such labels plastered on them.

Regardless, I'm pretty sure "reconstructed" it the honest word to use.

Oh gotcha, no worries.

It's by design, HN pushes down highly commented discussions.

Which makes sense if people don't want to read flamebate, but with a company like Telsa with both a sea of issues and fan boys, it gives them a pass.

Are y’all going to keep “just asking questions” that have an implicit stance of a musk-stan

The original reply stated “reported injuries could be bruised thumbs”

This supports the idea that not just reported injuries were high but so were injuries which required ambulance calls.

If you have data to suggest those were all for bruised thumbs you should add that yourself.

> requested an ambulance or helicopter 247 times in the first year after opening alone

Kinda doubt it

> all work accidents must be reported

What do you want to bet injuries are high elsewhere and Germany just has better reporting.

> Tesla boss Elon Musk’s factory requested an ambulance or helicopter 247 times in the first year after opening alone

Later goes on to say this is three times as many per capita as Audi.

Tesla: quality is crap, our factory workers are paid poorly and injured, our corporate workers can spy on you while you drive, our boss is insane, but hey our lineup spells SEXY which is hilarious

Technology has moved so quickly we literally can't have anything nice for more than 5 years before they start innovating on revenue streams.

I used to be a massive technophile but now I have the dumbest home of all my family and friends and I wouldn't change it for the world.

With huge companies and VC willing to spend unlimited sums of money to get a monopoly in some segment they eventually want to milk it as much as they can, cause they killed meaningful competition.

More often than not I move from one service to the next because the last service got so shitty/annoying/terrible privacy decisions that I jumped ship.

The internet and tech was meant to be a wild west of ideas and options but if it ever was that was a sadly brief period.

Perhaps, but Goro still has power and it clearly states he wanted this. If you have backstory to provide that'd help, otherwise it's just gossip.

Additionally, conservative is loaded term it's not really helpful in getting across what they feel without additional description. They're possible old school conservatives but even that probably comes across wrong as how they themselves would want to be described.

I don’t think so…?

From the Nikkei article:

> The older Miyazaki, 82, and Suzuki, 75, have been discussing the succession process for a long time, according to the two companies. Miyazaki's son had rejected the role, saying it was difficult to operate Ghibli alone and that the company's future would be better left to others. Nippon TV, with which Ghibli had deep ties, became the natural candidate.

They help write the law, they dictate most of our lives. When it comes time for them make a moral stand we defend them, "they're just following orders."

The only thing they meaningfully punished for is not making money. No wonder our world isn't going great.

Just what I hoped someone would comment, amazing.

"Of course they should be paid more, cause they are."

I think NPR does a lot of damage not questioning assumptions like this. Or, often times, putting them out there themselves.

Intro algorithms courses discuss how much of computers advancement isn’t just raw speed but how we solve problems. Many problems had large inputs so if you have a shorty algorithm is really doesn’t matter if you have a 10x or even 1000x faster processor.

Which brings up the interesting question, if we didn’t keep adding complexity how flashy could we make old hardware? What things could we make it do that it never could in the day. Feels like this is one of those things?

I imagine a murder trial would be a lot easier if the person charged was quoted saying:

"I'm going to murder this person"

Compared to

"I hope something bad happens to this person"

Honestly, when I started dev the .net learning materials made me feel like an idiot. It seems like no one teaching it was willing to acknowledge how things were organized might have been stupid. Ergo, any confusion you had was a problem with you not the software.

Cryptic errors for basic mistakes and the default option for it, at the time, visual studio's thousand menu's and buttons.

"Oh you complete fool, you're using .net version 4.7 which is completely incompatable, go through 5 menus to download it. Hope you have the right version of Microsoft Silverlight!" I had to download like 10 versions of .net by the time I was done.

A comparatively large amount of work for a hello world compared to almost any other choice for PHP or Python. And those had tutorials and text based environments were approachable.

I definitely had issues with Apache's config hidden god knows where but learning how to search for config files was a skill I found far more useful than rooting around layers of menus while someone told me this was normal and, actually, good.

If I had to choose a tech start for a start up MS still wouldn't be my first or second choice. I'm sure it works, but god that first year informed me it wasn't the community I wanted to be in.

Exactly. It's been around for billion(s?) of years having rain water dissolve land and run into it. Shouldn't it be as salty as it can be?

Perhaps it's deep sea flour shenanigans keeping it at some stable level.

Maybe there's a good reason to have articles on this but the title just makes it sound like pure PR.

200 million isn't remarkably big for a trillion dollar company.

He argued the American people had a right to know what was occurring and make a decision as to whether it should be done.

That likely isn’t “by the book” whistle blowing since governments can and do make what they do in the shadows “legal enough” to avoid scrutiny.

Guess it’s weird it’s that much of a discussion but many people care more about laws than morality.

Comments like this act like the consumer has all the power to choose and create the world they want. We don't, companies own this world and major public forums and make decisions together like this which we are powerless to change.

Corporations have more power in our government than individuals. They have a better understanding and coordination. Acting like a public forum owned by a company is immune from criticism because it's a private company is sweeping so much under the rug.

I imagine you wouldn't be where you are in life if you didn't believe such things, though.
