I can't believe this is the top comment on hacker news. Some of the replies are already covered but as much as I use my Android phone and Microsoft at work, I have never had anythi…

Elon Musk has been gaslighting as an "enlightened centrist" who happens to have rightwing views for years, I knew from the day he bought Twitter that his goal was to control digita…

This topic is a joke, since when does Hacker News consist of posters who don't understand the concept of a Grand Jury?

Thanks for your curious conversation. This is what Hacker News is all about.

Weak consequences doesn't mean legal. One state investigation has no impact on the others.

They're separate investigations. I am sad that I'm on Hacker News right now. This is not more "curious" conversation than anything you find on Fox or MSN.

Their market cap increased like 10-20X due to covid and zero interest rates, now they have just contracted. I wouldn't read too much into this. I agree that Google of all big tech …

Right now everything is in such a grey area that we could take this discussion in so many ways. Writing it off because it doesn't mean what it says misses the point, in my opinion,…

I'm not happy to say this, but to these kinds of posts I say the truth: An old version of ChatGPT could have written a better version of your post than you in 2-5 seconds.

>I fail to see the nuance. Then Reddit is that way. ---->

>I, being the greatest armchair expert in human behavior I know, say it will destroy democracy as we know it. What's left of it after social media?

Thank you for sharing your personal anecdotes and opinions. However true they may be, I'm kinda concerned that this sort of post is at the top of a highly commented Hacker News thr…

Did you read the article? I find your jaded sense of cynicism to be different than critical thought. I don't see any proof in the article posted about its claims. It's just very ea…

It's full of dishonest phrasing, or at least it was until I could no longer continue reading the article.

"I hope future generations of Earth have fewer troubles dealing with deadly pandemics." Their post wasn't only about covid.

We need a good examination on when and how so many people got tricked into thinking cynicism is the same thing as critical thinking. The conservatives dismantled your public educat…

I'm incredibly disappointed a Both Side's fallacy would appear at the top of a Hacker News post after all of the evidence we have all over the globe about both side's fallacies. Th…

You seem to think this is a both side's issue. Putin has a few bridges to sell you.

Social media is a much bigger problem than any Google mining because social media naturally promotes the already dangerous both sides fallacies. Among other reasons.

I don't believe they ever prioritized their tech ahead of their marketing campaigns.
