Someone said it would "quickly be illegal to launch satellites without permits", then you/they found out that is already illegal, and you nitpicked about who you need permission fr…

Europe is too well-run (even the poorer parts) for Starlink to be as relevant. Having lived in Central America, imagine all the workers that are laying the internet cables going ba…

Looks super cool and love the idea! I saw Clerk and noticed that it says that they have verified 250 months runway. Maybe true but sounds crazy high. Maybe if there's a specific ar…

IANAL but civil statute of limitations is based on when the prosecuting party reasonably discovered they were wronged and had legal recourse, not when the event happened. It is ent…

IANAL but a proud American haha, and we're very specific on not allowing ex post facto laws per our constitution. It would be a huge avenue for abuse of power by the government aga…

> “If you commit insider trading on Kalshi, that can and will at some point be a federal crime. It is a federal crime,” Am I misunderstanding? It seems like two different statement…

I had a pretty poor experience as a startup on Vanta. Maybe this is my own ignorance, but I told them when our contract was to renew that we do NOT want to renew. We were an early-…

I've put a lot of thought into hiring in this era, and what I've personally found works the best is: Let them use their preferred setup and AI to the full extent they want, and eva…

Agreed on the bimodal, but I don't think this is junior vs. senior - I think it's just competence being rooted out. The majority of engineers, in my hiring experience, failed very …

Not the OP but curious why you think so? If this gives an extra 1% per se, I imagine that is more worth it to a company fresh off a large fundraise with a ton of cash in the bank. …

I'd challenge that if you think they're fearmongering but don't see what they can gain from it (I agree it shows no obvious benefit for them), there's a pretty high probability the…

A movement is better terminology than an organization, fair. But okay - I'm confused what sources you would accept? There are "Antifa" groups on social media that literally advocat…

This is the one response here so far I agree with — I should've said movement to be more accurate.

Google "Antifa silences speaker," and you'll find literally hundreds of cases of exactly that (I just did to verify).

Definitely agree on which is worse! To be clear, I'm not saying I agree with the French raid. Just that statements about severe crimes (child sexual abuse for the above poster - no…

> The child abuse feels like a smaller problem compared to that risk. I think we can and should all agree that child sexual abuse is a much larger and more serious problem than pol…

> Where I think we can legitimately say this is MAGA versus Republicans is in the reverse brain drain. America in the 1950s was a destination for top minds. Ameirca in the 2020s is…

You're just asking for the opposite of what AI does. 90-99% of an engineer's work isn't entirely novel coding that has never existed before, so by succeeding at what "already exist…

If I compared HN today and Reddit 5 years ago, I'd agree, but I'm still extremely grateful for HN as I tried looking at Reddit this year and it actually made me feel like there's a…

1) Years ago for work, I went deep investigating these; some of the team actually flew to China to see it all first-hand and verify the data. This is not a bunk narrative. 2) I've …

If I can ask on business model, as I have a friend with a similar predicament — what percent of the time do you find vulnerabilities in those audits? Do companies push back if you …

(1) Are you saying it's bad if they're upping engineer pay to be more competitive, or you're just skeptical that they will? (2) I'd actually like the American government to pay bet…

I didn't read it that way because Boom went through YC while Sam was president of YC. The connection makes a lot of sense, and dates back to pre-OpenAI days. I would assume he's ju…
