Antitrust has been dead for decades. It spans administrations and parties.

Waste and grift.

Not everyone characterizes AI as "liberation from toil," and many are skeptical that any "equitable distribution of benefits" will occur in the first place. That's the point.

Last time I looked into this, you really couldn't in a reasonably simple way. It was possible between two users, but more than two just caused issues with syncing.

This does absolutely nothing to address the underlying social, economic, and ideological reasons why new relationship formation is struggling so much, especially with Gen Z. It's n…

It's not about actual security; it's about the appearance of it. It allows CTOs and such to check a box to say "Why yes, our vendor is secure! Look at all their claims! Look at how…

Just noticed this myself. Whoops!

What's wrong is a society full of people who are avoidantly attached and full of trauma.

Millennials on the whole are incredibly neurotic about all kinds of things. Why that is is a matter of debate.

That's not empathy, though. The word "empathy" has been co-opted to mean "understanding someone else's point of view," but that's not what empathy is. Empathy is feeling others' fe…

Unfortunately, housing is not merely treated as a cost issue for most people. Where we live is a social and even spiritual experience. We're not bugs that mindlessly perform our ec…

Taking money from the devil on one hand, protesting evil with the other. Make it make sense. "Rules for me but not for thee."

Yes. "There are already foxes in the hen house, but we'll ban new foxes from entering!"

> HN has a large enough MAGA contingent that believes by not talking about it the world will hold off a little longer from bringing down their idol. No. You're projecting. You're o…

Exactly. Like most "growth hackers," they assume that our attention is their resource to consume, and we should all be grateful for the privilege of making them rich. No thanks. I …

You're asking for others to take abuse on your behalf because your needs are more important than theirs. You're abusive. Stop coping and admit the truth. You're part of the problem…

I've noticed the same. Companies are disguising what are obviously marketing, advertising, or promotional content as "transactional." Experian is probably the most famous of these …

I wish this were hyperbolic. Sadly, the memes have become reality (was it always reality?)

The question isn't what must be done; look to the very founding of the United States for wisdom on that topic. The only question is, do people have the collective courage to do it?…

[flagged]

This is simply not true by most objective metrics... unless you don't like plastic and fertilizer?

Yep. It's just a lie.

It's gaslighting on a worldwide scale is what it is.

Right. Whether it's absolutely true in an empirical sense almost doesn't matter. If enough people believe it's true--and I'd argue Gen Z absolutely does--it will become the reality…
