> Laws aren’t made that way

That's basically exactly how they get made. You don't know anything about the agriculture checkoff in the US, do you?

Every single pound of pork sold or produced in the US sent a tiny amount of it's sale price to the "Pork. The Other White Meat" campaign: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pork._The_Other_White_Meat

> laws made that way usually aren’t good.

I don't think anyone said they were good laws.


Similar example Ohio legislature makes it illegal to drive with any THC of Cannabis products in the passenger compartment to crack down on people driving high, but there is nothing to prevent you driving with an open bottle of prescription opiates or benzos and popping those while you drive.

All of that because some CSS was wrong?? Jesus what are we even doing as an industry.

Well the fun things is that no one knows how much traffic of what kind they are getting when they use Cloudflare.

You get the numbers that Cloudflare tells you, but who knows if you can trust their stats after their CEO is apparently cherry-picking data to shape their product narrative?


That same CEO too that just went on a wild tone-def layoff justification, classifying human employees into roles of either a builder, seller, or measurer and saying he wants to get rid of everyone that "measures" the business...

I wouldn't trust a single thing coming out of his mouth.


Do people really expect CEOs to be knowledgeable about any technically details in 2026? My experience is that CEOs are getting increasingly out of touch with what their employees actually do and what their customers want.

Is this an open sourcing of something they use internally? My first thought on durable jobs was GHA aka Azure Devops.


These approaches always suffer from the same issues such as synchronous single threaded code that would be trivial to parallelise in a “proper” programming language such as C#.

What has Microsoft done to work around this?


Thanks for answering, this makes tons of sense

Did you know that Facebook actually has a message styled with color and different font sizes that pops up in the browser console when you open the inspector for Facebook.com with instruction not to paste things you're told to paste there, with a link to https://www.facebook.com/selfxss for more information?

I know this is Hacker News and supposed to be serious and all, but do you really think the people running Meta are capable of embarrassment at this point?

Why does X make sense? It makes no sense at all to me. X is the least logical place to put it.

Oakwood in Montgomery county is addressed as Dayton on all mail until you get to Kettering which has it's own name for addressing.

A quick search shows that Oakwood in Paulding County has it's own PO and zip code 45873 and Oakwood, Cuyahoga County has 44146.

I suspect that the postal service is much more forgiving on duplicate town names since the advent of zip codes.
