I doubt that, but sounds like a decent short story idea for /r/writingprompts


i don't know why it bothers me so much when i see redditors spam /r/thing outside of reddit.


Because it applies the convention of one forum to another. It assumes that the readers of this forum will be familiar with them and appreciate their inclusion.


>It assumes that the readers of this forum will be familiar with them

It assumes users of this forum are redditors, but the way they say it shows how they view reddit as the center of discussion


> Provided they didn't take insider knowledge and intellectual property with them, of course.

And that is exactly what Apple's legal filing claims...


Nope: every decent technical employee acquires insider knowledge, and companies don't have the right to enslave people because of that knowledge. The laws governing this differ from state to state, and California in particular gives employees more protection from restrictive contracts than other states.


Apparently they're not making a trade secrets theft claim, which seems a little unusual for a case like this.


Why do you keep submitting essentially the same exact thing?


The fires were fought by the all-black 555th Parachute Infantry Battalion [1], acting as on-call firefighters... they "jumped" on many of the fires to get there quickly. I read several personal stories of individual paratroopers, and their courage was impressive!

I've faced similar scams with drivers. Sometimes they'll call and encourage me to cancel, saying all sorts of things but commonly "Where you going? Oh, I'm not going in that direction", etc. But then they don't cancel the ride and wait for me to do it. I do wonder if they get the cancellation fees.


Maybe they are route optimizing.


Not sure if the mods will build it (I'd say unlikely -- nothing has changed in the decade I've been here) but in the meantime, you could use a CSS browser plugin and edit the CSS yourself


It's amazing that HN is still built with tables and center tags in this day and age!


A better version of HN might be one which is deliberately impossible to read unless you edit the CSS yourself.


> and the searchable codebase

Do you mean that you'd search Google's entire codebase monorepo for code examples, or that there was a better, searchable code snippet tool internally?


> Do you mean that you'd search Google's entire codebase monorepo for code examples

As another former Googler, yes, searching the entire monorepo was a frequent occurrence. Internal code search is pretty good (it's a search company, after all) but I have to say that I don't miss it so much now that Sourcegraph exists.


Not sure about google, but most of the big tech companies have a code browser website with a search feature that shows the most "relevant" repositories first in the search results. For example, repositories that people in your team or org have recently modified will show up near the top of the results.


I was not interested in the Cybertruck, and I find it relatively ugly and many of the features don't apply to me. However, a solar-charging option is BIG news to me. I'm surprised this was not mentioned on-stage.


>However, a solar-charging option is BIG news to me. I'm surprised this was not mentioned on-stage.

It wasn't said onstage because it was an off-the-cuff response by Musk to a random tweet. Like when he said the Roadster will have rocket boosters. Why is it an "article" on TechCrunch is the real question.

But I'll ask: how is slapping a solar panel on an electric vehicle "BIG news"? According to Musk, it can add 15 miles per day; that's a few hours of walking, and has very little practical value.


I don't drive a lot (only a couple dozen kilometers a week), but I live in a sunny area. I'd be happy if my car/truck/atv outside could just charge for "free" outside (big news to me, perhaps not to most) and never have to buy petrol again.


This is essentially just a co-located box, that you connect to your virtual network over a VPN/interconnect. Why is it not inside the virtual network? Why is the pricing hidden behind a sales person? That seems like the first cloud instance to have hidden pricing...


Given the vagueness of the announcement, one may wonder if it's custom consulting masquerading as a product.



Comments moved thither. Thanks!


Not a dupe, a completely different news site (Bloomberg v. BBC).


I believe it's still technically a dupe. In the past, the mods here decided to merge comments on articles reporting the same event.


It's not a merge, unfortunately, it's an eclipsing of perspectives not lucky enough to be the first.
