Projector allows you not to have a giant black rectangle in the living room

Sure. I have neither proper data nor a solution that would satisfy everyone. I left my comment only to show a dissenting voice in the HN engineering crowd. Someone reading HN might be under the impression WFH is universal choice of engineers. It’s not, some of us hate remote work.

I can’t speak for YC or FAANG management but as a regular software engineer I totally get where they’re coming from. I worked at a FAANG company through and after covid, the difference in teams productivity was noticeable. Not in the remote working favour.

I understand some people are more productive at home but I’m yet to see a _team_ that is more productive being remote. I lack the experience working in remote-first companies like gitlab though.

> Monarchies are inherently undemocratic

UK is in top-20 countries by democracy index.[1] It is classified as 'full democracy' (as opposed to 'flawed democracy', for example in the US).

As iOS and macOS user, I always subscribe directly through the app developer if they allow this. I stopped trusting Apple subscriptions when I called them asking to reimburse the subscription I forgot to cancel (just a few days later) and they said “no”. I never encountered any internet service declining this kind of requests.

17+, which is quite ridiculous of course—Safari is pre-installed and allows you to see the same websites as Chrome or Firefox

My approach is to take their weekly magazines (paper or digital) instead of browsing through the home page. Weekly editions still include an article or two on US politics, but in general are significantly more diverse.

Reminded me of https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/

They have a separate article on it: https://www.bellingcat.com/resources/2020/12/14/navalny-fsb-.... There is a huge black market of private data in Russia.

There is an amazing course on happiness from Yale: https://www.coursera.org/learn/the-science-of-well-being

Is there a chance you know an article that covers timing aspects of the novel?

> exceptions are used as routine flow-control Unfortunately, this approach is encouraged by some popular frameworks, for example a ResponseStatusException in Spring 5

It might be a dummy question, but what does FDA clearance mean exactly? Does it make the watch a medical-grade device and I can do ECG using the watch instead of going to the hospital?

No, they haven't.

It would be interesting to hear the author's (pg) comments about the changes (if any) happened since 2008

It's not clear from the text how they define "Swiss startups". For example, being a foreigner, can I start a company there and ask for an investment?

Second slide of their hello-world example:

  <!-- .slide: data-autoslide="2000" -->

  ### No more <span style="color: #666666">Keynote.</span>
  ### <span class="fragment" data-fragment-index="1" data-autoslide="2000">No more <span style="color: #666666">Powerpoint.</span>
  <br>
  ### <span class="fragment" data-fragment-index="2" data-autoslide="3500">Just <span style="color: #e49436">Markdown</span>. Then <span style="color: #e49436">Git-Commit</span>.</li>

Doesn't look like a simple markdown for me.
