The line is when surveillance becomes a means to subject people to demeaning conditions.

Anyone who believes this is good work and helping the world is deluded. It's full on race to the bottom, treat people like robots, surveillance state stuff.

This is a complete disgrace.

I am convinced that crypto/blockchains are slowly and pointlessly re-encountering the same problems that existing centralised systems and agencies were setup to solve. It’s as if w…

Thanks to everyone for your replies below, they provided me with some really useful insights and I understand that it's definitely less directly polluting than fossil fuels and tha…

This is a really helpful explanation. I didn't have a clue that the long half life actually results in lower levels of radiation.

My only question about nuclear is why is it okay to bury the nuclear waste? I can understand that it might be fine to bury small amounts in specific stores but if countries slowly …

I totally agree with this. Distribution is the most underrated, most difficult part of creating a tech company. In the UK Squarespace peddles the slogan 'a website makes it real'. …

Brilliant, increased fees for me. Yet another “success” for Brexit

The argument on boringtechnology.club could not be more true. Simple tech stacks are always best

Totally agree with this. We'll just end up with more waffling long form content packed with videos and distractions to encourage users to spend more time trying to find what they w…

Ha, you’re probably right. Time to get back to the actual product ;) Good luck with the interview!

I like it. Prompts you to think about things you may not have considered.

This is very cool. I’d also like to see a Linux version. Also looking at their job spec for full stack developers and nice to see a company focused on server rendered html. No reac…

Sounds a lot like Brave New World

Ha, I totally agree with this. I have seen so many of those big empty buses with just 1 or 2 people in them. Perhaps self-driving cars and autonomous vehicles will be the solution …

Cars offer a level of freedom far beyond that of public transport. That doesn’t mean they are the best vehicle to offer that freedom and electric vehicles will definitely be an imp…

People aren’t always choosing cities, there are greater work opportunities in cities and so that is where people have to go. This was true of factory work in the past when people m…

I think this is a good thing provided it doesn’t take from people’s annual leave allowance. Many people feel pressure to always be “on” and are tied endlessly to programs like Slac…

If it is this (I also don't actually know) then it sounds terrible.

Perhaps I am misunderstanding or over simplifying things but it always surprises me that there are legal cases brought against companies who scrape data when so many of Google's pr…

Interesting article. I didn’t know about this as a method so it was useful to me. Thanks for sharing!

The is a really nice reflective article. We need more of these on HN.

Totally agree with this. I stopped using Facebook years ago and feel that leaving it had no real impact on my life. If there is one thing the pandemic has shown it’s how resilient …

I hadn’t heard of Blitz until now but am loving the look of it. Congrats on the beta!
