Let me choose. This common point seems more like a rationalization for the default behavior of hyperscalers. AWS isn't avoiding prepaid due to concern about my site's virality, jus…

>Everybody who believes civil violence is a productive solution to any problems we have in 2026 is wrong. Hilarious joke, Mr. Fukuyama. You have masked goons running around, detain…

Their point is that empathy is a (very useful) emotional response. It doesn't give you a correct model of the other persons mind.

Someone could be extremely proficient in disciplines that are associated with 'raw' intelligence, and yet utterly fail at theory of mind. Anyone that has been in a college campus p…

Chilean here, totally understandable by paying attention. I didn't even know Brazil was under dictatorship in '77. The whole point of the secret agent framing is that it works bett…

>One of the boring and meaningless movies I ever seen. No arc, no coherent story, (almost) no humor, no development, no intrigue, nothing. I understand finding the movie too long o…

Not really familiar with Brazil (although I am with military juntas) but I think the spy misdirect helps a lot. If you are slightly observant you will get the gist by the middle of…

Yeah yeah, it isn't arthouse but, is it a less of a thinker than Pulp Fiction? I have the suspicion that GP would find IMDb Top movies agreeable and they aren't all deeply introspe…

Well... they weren't immigrants, they were annexed. Why should they speak English?

> Are you really telling me you wouldn't pay any amount of money to do menial housework? If not, why not? This is called having a live-in maid or a cleaning service. Even in the fi…

Just be rich (in debt) like Americans seems like a bad plan for a global brand. Poorer countries outside NA and the EU buy stuff too, y'know.

>Uber, lyft, regular taxis Waymo is already there, just needs to scale and they are already cooperating with Uber. >public transit Unless Musk develops the shrink ray it will never…

I would posit that the human brain is complex, and adding senses is simpler than replicating an aspect of the mind more accurately.

>Tesla is leading and succeeding. People have faith in Musk as a leader. Nobody trusts CCP EVs, just like nobody trusts Huawei or Xiaomi phones. That sounds literally like a religi…

Yeah sure, all those Brazilian and Ugandan 65 year olds that are emigrating to the US for the Medicare. It's not like you need critically need nurses or tax generating young people…

I don't know, FIFA is a den of villainy, but what happens if I dunno... half the Brazilian team ends up on an ICE camp? It wouldn't be during airport customs, but what if Agent Cle…

Because to a certain group of HN regulars everything that gives them a tingle in the conscience is "offtopic" and "politics". Another quieter group believe themselves to be the rat…

Trump is not long for this world, MAGA might crumble or more probably fall under the control of one of the possible successors in the WH. Establishing diplomatic ties with his wran…

More datapoints in USD (Chile) from checking various companies: 150GB-200GB ~15 USD 400GB-450GB ~19-20 USD Unlimited (without throttling) ~21-27 USD This is the price after the new…

Is it? It was (as far we know) a mild shitpost of a public figure like from a decade ago. Photoshopping someones head over the Pepe Silva meme is not nice, but its hardly harassmen…

While Reddit always has someone celebrating / inciting everything from the benign to the macabre, this is just cope. Kirk was in a process of sanctification by the right as a knigh…

As far my recollection goes Voat was actually pretty nice content wise until /r/fatpeoplehate got banned. After that it became the dumping ground for every shithole community that …

Finally, Schizophrenia as a Service (SaaS).

Yes, you're right. It just that the comparison with Ukraine (invaded for no rational reason) + 'wiping out' made me think sejje was making a stronger (?) hypothetical. I think we'r…

Beyond the other replies to your 'point', fent has nothing to do with Venezuela⁰. It's pretty obvious if you think about it for 5 seconds, it's a dense synthetic opioid. Is there i…
