You're going to need a bigger host to support HN traffic :)

I was going to tell you to wait for Jeff Geerling to do this first otherwise you’re in for a world of hurt.

Then I read your username. Big fan :)

They said "in the US". The data you have provided says "Worldwide" which doesnt prove the point about the US.

This is a technical decision some developers make because they're well versed in Javascript, or because their business can only fund the management of one codebase, or because there's libraries that add massive convenience functions to their development. Or because they believe that their UI needs to have a consistent experience. Or <insert reason X, Y, Z here>...

This whole article is about Chromium and Electron. I am not sure what the purpose of your question is.

It's 2.9L/100km for those who use metric.

That is 34.5km/L or 81.1MPG.

These numbers are incredible.

From the article,

> The tech and cloud giant said Wednesday it would spend another $2.75 billion backing Anthropic, adding to its initial $1.25 billion check.

I don't know how this argument can hold? Malls charge their tenant stores a fee to lease space. Why shouldn't app stores?

I use an application that supports plugins from 3P developers. The number of times some script is broken because a certain developer fat fingered their own config drives me mad. Whereas the experience of downloading apps from the Play Store is seamless.

I don't think the comment implied that it was the "raison d'etre". A company who has employees on the road should strive to make them follow the law. If the vehicles are owned by corporation XYZ, the drivers are employed by corporation XYZ -- it stands to reason that they should ensure that laws are followed. e.g. that the drivers have valid licenses, they are authorized for employment in the region they are employed, etc. Why should following speed limits trigger this train of thought?

Not if you bought a home a decade or two ago and house prices went up around you with no action of your own.

I drive an old Honda Civic and my neighbors all have Tesla, Porsche, etc.

If you are in your 20's, it is totally worth moving to the US where you can get paid 500K+ per year if you navigate your career efficiently. I posit that making this much money more than covers any of these additional expenses that you call out.

100k is below starting salary in the Bay Area or Seattle. Most senior folks make 300-450k with Staff level engineers making 600-800k.

That 2% is putting you slightly higher to the new bottom of band.

So to clarify, if previous years bottom of band was 100K, and this years bottom is 110K, your base bump + your projected stock value (current year + 15% increase planned YoY) will be 110K.
