...good!


Meh


It's called Bloom. A really pretty way to shape a visual aesthetic with a client. Our users (& founders) are in things like fashion photography and video production.

But a lot of people drive old as shit cars.


"Old as shit" is still a moving target. An old as shit car from 30 years ago is not the same model year as an old as shit car today.


To memory, cars started getting a lot more aerodynamic through the 90s. You have to go back to the 80s to find boxy designs throughout mainstream cars, at which point you’re looking at vehicles somewhere in the ballpark of 40 years old.

Anecdotally, I’ve not seen many of those on the road. It’s not too unusual to see a late 90s something puttering around town, but 80s and older is unusual, even in rural areas.


I drive a car that was released 25 years ago (a 7th-gen Celica) and it has a coefficient of drag of 0.32, which beats many vehicles currently in production, including multiple electric vehicles.


Now compare that to a car which would have been 25 years old, 30 years ago.


Someone driving the same car for a long time will have seen the change in numbers of insects getting stuck to it.


I dropped out at the same sentence.


It hurts to read this please stop. I want to hear your story from you.


Do people really talk like this?


Online, yes. Anywhere else, I doubt it.


“Talk”, no, but a scary number very much think like this. It’s an easy pseudo-intellectual high ground to take.


It's a biological and societal reality. While we may end up solving the immediate demographic crisis through technology (e.g. Optimus for the elderly), the future of humanity depends on raising children. Not taxing the rich, personal convenience, or trivializing my stated position as one that is "easy" to have.


Of all the public online communities, you'd think HN would be capable of calling it the way it is. But I'm afraid it's been overrun by brainwashed ideologues as I've seen many times the truth being downvoted into oblivion during my short time here. Maybe we should do an experiment and make an account that only posts Paul Graham's positions and see how often it gets downvoted. I suspect the culture has shifted quite a lot since HN's founding and a decent chunk on the margin no longer cares about what's true over what's acceptable.

Got laid off 2 weeks ago (8YOE). How are there so many engineers out of work for >2 years? Should I conclude that my time is better spent searching for a non-eng job?


YMMV. See what 2-3 months of job searching does for you, then investigate rewarding alternatives so you have the beginning of a plan B. If your main area of expertise is Go or TS, fullstack, React, AI, don't wait 2-3 months as the supply/demand is greatly titled.
