It's not a controversial take. You just lack understanding of the English language. OP: Looking at two countries in an actual long running war... You: This isn’t really all hell br…

Is it surprising that the audience for "serious investigation into misallocated funds in local county" is extremely small? Is it really wild that you don't see this is a niche, tha…

Don't be fooled by talk about security or privacy. This is simple Nation State realpolitik. TikTok is a propaganda threat controlled by a non-friendly state to the US. Any other wa…

There's something hilarious about your framing of "get too big to be shut down". You actually said "if you get popular enough that the public will vote against people who threaten …

Actually, yes, the American tech companies are working hard to enrich humanity. They enrich themselves too. But they've given off tremendous consumer surplus just in comparison to …

This is one of those things where it's cold practicality. A company realizes the political headwinds and has decided that it'll do its best with a bad hand. This is what leaders wa…

If you're an actual, paying customer of NYT, then I would hazard that you're welcome to tell them you don't like what they're doing by not paying them . If you're a freeloader that…

Absolutely. Your tone comes off as negative, but it's actually the truth and it's better you accept it today. Welcome to reality, where people get paid by customers to do work.

HN is still a site about creating businesses, right? The NYT needs to consider its customers, and ensure they find the balance to make its customers happy. For them, there's a fine…

You're creating a strawman that doesn't exist from the article. There's no ask to be fast and perfect. The ask was that retractions happen, and that journalists own up to being wro…

I love the infringement on freedom you propose (you can't use your private property or money to own media) in the attempt to prop up a different freedom (speech rights). I also lov…
