I ask this with sincere curiosity - what does his current place of residence have to do with his message that programmers should avoid companies building infrastructure for the pol…

Do you think this might be tied to a person’s financial situation? Grow up with a safety net, you’ll enjoy the process. Grow up poor and/or with people depending on you and you foc…

Did you read the complaint? If the honeypot description is accurate, the wolf is real. The below is from section 5 of their complaint [1]: > Rippling’s General Counsel sent a legal…

You may be right, but I think China specifically has learned something from Russia. Before invading Ukraine, Russia held assets across the world and they were frozen (some of it US…

I think perhaps you may have misread the article. Here are some items that stuck out to me: > As for American gold holdings, they’re essentially pointless: Fort Knox is a legacy of…

In the article it says: > Sacks said that he has sold his personal crypto holdings. I went to his twitter account, that's exactly what he said, but that does not mean the same thin…

> “We should treat Trump and members of his administration like Elon Musk as akin to Russian oligarchs,” Macfarlane wrote. “We need to impose meaningful costs on the U.S. for its e…

Interesting - I genuinely want to understand your perspective here. Are you saying following the laws to protect sensitive information is not worth it in this case, because it has …

I appreciate a response like this on HN. IF there is a problem, let's solve the root issue (which may include looking at the algo feeds of all big tech, etc).

I will not comment on the European data here, but this is so wrong on the Canada side. Sentiment against immigration is real in Canada. You're comparing refugee numbers when in rea…

This policy needs a refresh - there are many issues with the H1B program today - a good article if you're interested: https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2024-staffing-firms-game-..…

This topic reminds me of the old interview Bernie Sanders gave nearly a decade ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vf-k6qOfXz0 I hope citizens wake up, business interests are not …

| I think Elon and Vivek's comments are more nuanced than they are taken. If they are, they have the platform to provide that nuance. Take a look at the public H1B data for Tesla (…
