    State-funded media has it's own problems but at least there's some accountability which is effectively nonexistent for large media companies. As long as the free market rewards sen…

    It's just as misleading to string together dozens of "sources" in an article to prop up a narrative. It appears to me that the website you've linked is just playing on peoples para…

    News channels do not broadcast 24 hours of news. The majority of programming are personalities, opinions and "recaps." The actual news comes on in hour-long chunks once early in th…

    In what world is an attempt to understand the actions of a governing body more disturbing than disappearing someone? The pondering of morality and underlying intentions are what fu…

    It reminds me of what Apple does when it redefines a product category by "just" bringing together existing technology into a more convenient form factor and UX. That's a wonderful …

    In terms of using deep fakes to impersonate political figures, I do think we'll ultimately be okay on that front. I can see the entertainment industry being flipped on it's head an…

    People have had the opportunity to impersonate anyone they'd like over the radio for over 100 years and yet, here we still stand.

    Apologies for the 2 day late reply, I forget to check my comments on HN far too often. The issue isn't when a restaurant drags their feet with an order, it's when they don't know t…

    I'm not so sure that it's the cringe that is the problem. I think it's the notion that these social media platforms are acting as a lens for how a lot of people see the world.

    Kinda like the editor(s), who are doing the job of an editor.

    It certainly feels like fraud if that so-called supplier never agreed to be a vendor in the first place. If the line to check out at the grocery store was 2 hours long, you wouldn'…

    Personally I prefer the idea of a zero-frills Excel, but this makes sense as MS needs an answer to Airtable and it's ilk.

    This is the crux of the issue, especially when these services are happy to pass the buck when the delivery falls short and blame the restaurant.

    FWIW, Postmates has been doing these "Place & Pay" orders since ~2012. A courier for Postmates was more akin to someone taking orders from an app like Favor/TaskRabbit than a purpo…

    Pretty bold statement coming from someone with a post history as dubious as yours. There's actually some healthy skepticism in this thread and rational conjecture, which I assume y…

    Looks like this could give Apple a bit of a head start with fleshing out some of their AR app offerings out in the real world. I imagine these will translate quite nicely into rOS …

    At scale, I imagine you can subsidize the price by offering cheaper milk alternatives (non dairies), along with other fresh beverages.

    I don't really know where to start here, so I'll just say that you're probably looking a little too much into how it is "propagandized in Hollywood serials."

    Human trafficking is illegal regardless of age. That’s why people would or should care. No one is talking about firing assistants besides you.
