Not any director. Her job is Director of Government Affairs. It's a clear conflict of interest for her to be launching her own political campaign while employed as a corporate lobb…

These vpn believers don't understand how concentrating all of the traffic thru a single chokepoint (the vpn provider network), they're infinitely easier to network monitor.

Why do you want to exist in an echo chamber? Suppressing ideas doesn't make them go away.

We've heard ad nauseam that the rich need to pay their fair share. This goes for importers as well. Pay your taxes. The real substance of these complainers is that they can no long…

Your reply to me is all emotion, no facts. As for "economic damage", this is where you really diverge from reality. The S&P 500 has risen back to pre-Liberation Day tariff announce…

None of those things have happened.

Trump was elected on deporting illegals, closing the Dept of Education, removing men from women's sports and to stop sending money overseas. The insular HN community doesn't unders…

Perhaps take some vacation days to get that "partner" of yours citizenship?

It's funny you say science requires a lot of honesty and trust, then point at what happened in the past 5 years. Very few people believe "safe and effective" was telling the truth …

As a US citizen, revoking visas from criminals and people who espouse hate has been a huge net positive. We don't need visitors bringing their third world blood feuds to our homela…

You have to see what already exists in X11-land before judging that simple wasn't hard to do. (e.g. xterm)

But what did those 15k people do? If their job was to audit family and small biz returns, I don't think anyone will miss them.

I have always pronounced lib like the word liberal. I was mind-blown the first time I heard someone pronounce etc as "et-see". et-see rolls off the tongue so much better than ee-te…

I think that is only part of it. Musk gave an interview where he talked about how the woke medical establishment trans'd one of his kids. They falsely told him to do the transition…

Elon is not getting an artificial boost. The people reporting about Elon's posts being artificially boosted either don't know how X's features work or they are engagement-farming f…

I don't know what kind of content these other people are curating with their X accounts, but I never see bots. I primarily follow entrepreneurial & fitness accounts. Honestly X, yo…

The big difference was in C you had to implement it yourself. Choosing a hash function and managing memory with malloc() was a hang up for a lot of people. It was quite common to s…
