Thanks for sharing, this was lovely

A little bit of JavaScript might have been nice. Tapping through a dozen ramens required me to then hit back a dozen times to return.

Leverage. Some of those people will turn out to be significant political figures. We live in an information-driven world. Our economy is driven by information. Geopolitics is drive…

"I think that AI will probably, most likely, sort of lead to the end of the world. But in the meantime, there will be great companies created with serious machine learning." — Sam …

What about it reads to you as low quality? The intention seems to be to convey alarm through description of catastrophe, which was effective for me.

Through the lens of information warfare, it's hard not to view those comments as an astroturfing campaign from the exact organizations who would want device attestation

Ignoring the whataboutism here, what about it was distasteful? Please see HN rule #1, this is not the community for that kind of discourse.

They already understand the current system and status quo is going away. They understand, on some level, the consequences of the technocapitalist system they've built and perpetuat…

Are you under the impression that the planet has effectively infinite carrying capacity and ability to support an "optimal market" indefinitely?

The revolution will not be televised But it's seeming like the trigger for it will be

This is why the ultra rich have been building out heavily fortified, private, self sustaining compounds. They know the potential consequences of their choices, and are fine with th…

We don't need "more" government, we need the government to do its job. We need the regulators who have been legally appointed to oversee these areas to actually respond to these be…

SplinterNet is inevitable

If you had tried Ubuntu, KDE Neon, CachyOS, ElementsryOS, or really any other distro, this would not have been your experience. Arch is a Manual experience designed for power users…

Do you have a source for that? Being a 503c, they're required to disclose their expenditures, among other things. CN gives them a perfect score, and the expense ratio section puts …
