Stop shopping at Amazon. they are no longer consumer friendly like they were a few years ago.

Hope this doesn't get flagged, hn weirdly hides posts that mention- Apple marketing. They likely bought themselves into the top spot. Now that you are in the Apple ecosystem, you w…

Marketing

I'd rather we used general terms "So you think you want to sell drugs" Glamorizing drug "tasting" is what's going on here. If we are going to criticize social media, why do drug de…

Since we are comparing in this thread, why are computer science grads often afraid of math based solutions? For example, I had a physics problem and a computer science buddy was op…

Wait... The computer scientist is not an engineer.

Google is getting bad, but I want a decent competitor to Windows/Android. Apple is not competition. They serve a lax customer base.

The search results have gotten noticably worse in the last year. When a Wikipedia/encyclopedia article is what I'm looking for, why is Google showing articles? Wikipedia used to be…

Many believe those protections you describe is the cause of inequality. For example,when only 300k/yr physicians can give you access to medicine, it's not capitalism.

The literal definition of socialism is an impossibility, power always gets concentrated among the few. "This time will be different" crowd hadn't been compelling. Human nature hadn…

Chase the extreme pleasures by experiencing much pain. Or be an Epicurean and enjoy the neutral state most, pleasures but not at the expense of pain. Or be a Stoic and find comfort…

My question, are there innocent stupid people? Or did every investor want a get rich quick sheme?

My hypothesis is that we are experiencing high inflation and that's the recession. And before anyone says "fed reserve 2 percent", the federal reserve is known to lie.

For years I've described bugs in Apple's iPhone apps and have been told "it's just me" or to expect long delays between actions. Or that constant updates and logging in are good th…

Plenty of people fall for marketing. I'm not sure how that is relevant.

Apple deleted apps for China, gets hacked by the FBI, locks out developers, sells broken keyboards, overcharges for hardware, uses proprietary software. Evil company, their fanatic…

I have refused as well. My users and I lose by buying Apple products. I weep that Apple has entrenched themselves into the tech ecosystem. They take advantage of the least educated…

Only 4 more years until Elon Musk puts a $30,000 Tesla on Mars where solar power roofs cost the same as conventional. I believed it until about 3 years ago, when I realized spaceX …

When it gets bad, I'll stop going. But right now I am still getting decent results. I don't use Facebook anymore, yet we had some hysteria about that being manipulated.
