You mean the incident where his copilot intentionally locked him out of the cockpit and crashed the plane into a mountain? Hardly seems like an indictment of locked doors to me.

Sorry, it's just a fact about HN informed by visiting it daily for over 13 years.

That’s a good 75% of HN these days.

Anytime this topic comes up, this opinion is invariably at the top of the comments. However I've never seen a non-trivial application made this way. Mind sharing one? More than the query generation, I think people reach for ORMs for static typing, mapping, migrations, transactions, etc.

I'm not doubting that it can be done, I'm just curious to see how it's done.

Am I the victim of the algorithm? Because all I see on HN these days is people pessimistic about tech and society. The tenor here is overwhelmingly negative.

Where are you seeing anyone defend big tech, tech bros, or any tech in general?

> Democrats are screwed on economic messaging until they join Republicans in dropping neoliberalism.

I disagree. What we're witnessing today is that while people are happy with many of the fruits of globalization (cheap Chinese junk, cheap flights, ability to travel anywhere, remote work, etc, etc) our politicians have just about done everything in their power to increase the price of the things that actually matter: housing, healthcare, childcare, and education.

A Democrat party that could actually deliver on these things (rather than exacerbate the problems as they have done) would fare far better electorally. No need to put in place unpopular, destructive tariffs.

Clinton era consultants were the only ones saying the obvious: “it’s the economy stupid”. On the other hand it was the Obama era consultants who were fixated on the massive loser that is identity politics

It is undeniable that European countries police speech more heavily than the US does. They have laws on the books that plainly give them this power. They exercise this power quite regularly. Feel free to argue that it is right for them to do so, but don't muddy the discussion attempting to redefine words.

I promise you, its not the "real estate lobbyists" who fought to block subsidized housing for teachers in the Sunset.

Five years ago, Guinness left the following note on their video of Ben Lee's performance:

" It's worth noting that this is no longer a category that our records team monitor - the record has been rested. Our records managers are no longer able to monitor fastest musician records as it has become impossible to judge the quality of the renditions, even when slowed down. In terms of monitoring the number of musical notes, it is not clear if all notes have been played fully. "

So you're suggesting there's some other viable model of egg production that would deliver eggs at 2021 prices? People want cheap eggs. Saying, "well if we just adopted a decentralized, more resource intensive model we wouldn't have problems with bird flu" doesn't address that concern.
