What? You lug around a laptop from 95 and you're a web developer? And you don't care if it gets stolen? You have to do a Reddit IAMA. Please.

Arjit, is that you?

Isn't diesel also 4 stroke? I know it has no spark plugs for ignition and there are differences but the main principals would be the same.

You buy less useless crap when using cash and it's just nice to have cash. It feels real.

I'm building a space bucket atm using Arduino instead of Pi. It's a lot of fun. There are some amazing projects on spacebuckets.com. https://www.spacebuckets.com/u/POstoned has a good Pi setup with schematics etc. I think his reddit post is very detailed with sourcecode.

Although they're quite kitsch and not something I'd wear, good on him for taking on something not many people would dare these days.

Isn't there a new model without touchbar? I'm pretty sure I've seen it in one of the stores...

Infrastructure spending is not the best way of propping up the economy. You get more for your buck by giving the money to the people who will immediately spend it. Germany doesn't need to increase the military. It's not running an empire like US. And doesn't need to find that kind of employment for the uneducated lower class. And Germany is what it is because of migrants. Do believe. And Japan is fucked because it's not accepting any.

It's banks. Our current capitalism functions on financial credit. Banks are lending all this money they don't have in hope that they'll get it back with interest. Everyone believes in it and I'd say that it's a form of modern ideology.

Aren't a lot of these people in jail for stupid shit like drug position and there are rules such as 3 strikes and out specifically designed for them? Maybe this fiscal freedom Americans love to talk about and the gun carrying freedom could extend to some other parts of life...

You can just look at UK and you can see that things can be done better. Or Canada...

I have to remember that one

Op probably referred to the good kind most Western Europe is enjoying.

The fact that there were those too big to fail who got bailed out with people's money tells you that this freedom is fake. Free my ass. But you have to sell the dream to dumb masses.

Spot on! But American exceptionalism will not ackgnowledge that. Freedom!

That incarceration rate is there to keep the blacks off of streets and away in prisons. It's the modern form of slavery and one in three black males will be put in prison once in their lifetime. Not sure that it has anything to do with evolutionary biology and all with a fear of a black person.

There's no mention of any pubs within walking distance from this thing. I wonder how these 12000 people will quench their thirst after a hard day work... Or maybe grabbing a beer after work is not a thing there and they all go to gym.

Don't worry about what you read. It's mainly dick measuring or stuff learnt at work in specific domain. I know a lot of people who are awesome devs and feel inferior when reading HN comments. The only thing that matters is if you can build stuff people will like and use.

It's the anti Apple sentiment on HN. Nothing Apple is good anymore. But yeah, I can't remember either the last time I had to enter the iCloud password.

You've never had to add a new small feature to a highly customized Wordpress site someone else built I think.

What? As if west is taking environmental protectionism seriously. Look what Trump is doing and other climate change deniers. An idiot in Australian parliament walks around with a lump of coal. Canada is raping the country digging up those tar sands which is more polluting than previously thought according to last studies. China needs to catch up at any cost, but once they do their government system will allow them to take drastic measures to clean up faster than the west. Our political systems are in bed with polluters and we're still emmitting the highest levels of CO2 per capita.

Same here. Also neddick is very close to "needdick". Maybe it's a purposeful word play.

Im interested in this too. Why?

Had a Whirlpooi front loader washing machine which started electrocuting me after 18 months. They repaired it under warranty and it started doing the same thing a few months later. With a small child in the house I didn't want it here so sold it to some guy on eBay who didn't mind getting zapped. Should have seen him touch it when he came to pick it up. Now I a Bosh which seems much more solid.

From my own experience: do not build a product until you find someone to pay for it. Unless you are really cashed up but even then you need a customer to drive it.

Take everything you can at the beginning and occasionally charge in beer for small things that took 20 minutes. Some of my biggest jobs came from some of those customers.

If you get along well with your colleague then partner up. You'll help each other out when going gets hard.

Don't be afraid to make drastic changes, like abandoning a product that doesn't sell.

Creative agencies without inhouse devs are your bread and butter until you get that recurring revenue from your products.

Expect to productize the most random stuff you would never think off.

Excel is your biggest competitor.

Go for it! Good luck!

It's really hard for the first few years while the kids are very young but it gets easier. I wouldn't worry.

Arrogant much?

TL;DR Speculates that Apple has abandoned laptop and desktop lines, excited about finally having a Nix terminal on Windows, doesn't like the weak hardware in new MBP for the cost of the the laptop, excited about building a new Windows PC.

What laws? Home owners can charge whatever rent they want, evict you with a few weeks notice without giving any reason for it, raise the rent as much as they want etc. There's no affordable housing in either of the cities. Investors are hoarding properties and claiming negative gearing and locking first home buyers out of the market. Renters need better protection in Australia if the government is unwilling to do anything about the negative gearing and housing market, which they said they won't do anything about. After all they're paying off these assholes' properties.

Edit: good analysis in this podcast if you're interested http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/bigideas/2016-1...
