I hate some airline polices as much as anyone, and it is absolutely terrible to loose a meeting, family reunion, cruise ship vacation, etc. for something like this, but it is way worse to die. If airlines compensated with whatever money you think you deserve, the tickets would cost way more than they already are. Shit happens. You are not entitled to compensation for everything shitty that happens in the world.

I just visited Lisbon, and their azulejos are fantastic. We also have great examples in Mexico. But, why was this posted in HN?

This is all populist BS that will lead nowhere. The current government is the most incompetent and corrupt ever. And we had a really low bar already.

There is no way Olina will make it to market. It is another of the demagogic populist government's projects.

I'm tired of people jumping in to point out "AI, AI". The article is very good and informative. That is the only important thing. Geez.

The word typing is wrong.

It is not about the speed of typing code.

Its about the speed of "creating" code: the boilerplate code, the code patterns, the framework version specific code, etc.
