This is a strange comment when the biggest problem plaguing video games is microtransactions. I still don't get how Valve gets a pass on having some of the most psychotic and exploitative microtransactions in the world, but I'm supposed to be mad at Xbox for thinking about adding ads.

Hacker News is already in the business of policing articles though. This is a curated list of articles that people share, and a lot of unrelated articles are automatically deleted or just downvoted out of existence. This isnt Reddit.

It’s okay to have an opinionated website. Not every corner of the internet needs to be a bastion of free speech

I think the pipeline is not really about the 30u30 list as a whole, but about the cover of the magazine, which I feel has had a very high rate of fraud.

AWS has existed for like 2 decades now, is that not enough evidence for you?

You can turn on Private Browsing, even on a free account. It also prevents YOU from seeing who viewed you, though, unless you buy premium.

This is also assuming that 100% of layoffs are American citizens. A huge chunk of those layoffs are H1B workers themselves.

This is about KMart Australia. Australia is a country, similar to the United States. You should look it up sometime.

They separate each other by spending money on YouTube ads and sponsorships and jacking up prices to offer 50%, no 70% no NINETY PERCENT DISCOUNT if you subscribe for 17 years using my promo code MisterSandman!

That doesn’t make sense, the 15pro and 16pro were already titanium, and they moved AWAY from titanium for those phones in the 17pro.

I don’t disagree that it has something to do with supply chain, but it’s not the titanium cases.

React is significantly more easier to hire for than JQuery is, especially in this market. Especially if you’re looking for more junior roles.

As a new grad, I would’ve picked a react job over a JQuery job even if the JQuery one paid me 10k more.

Europe is also somewhat poorer than North America, to be fair.

Can we stop calling things you find weird “American?” Like Jesus Christ, Europe isn’t some special land where everyone makes food from scratch and capitalism doesn’t exist.

I’m not even American, but are we seriously judging people for baking cakes using cake mixes? It’s been around for almost a century. I highly doubt that cake mixes aren’t just as common in Europe than they are in the US within a margin of error.

So was last year’s, technically, but that didn’t stop apple from making it all about AI.
