- smallerize 10mo agoNo.
- throwaway290 10mo agosomeone flagged and killed that one so not technically a dupe, it deserves to be on FP
- moralbankruptcy 10mo agoThe grifters at yc are in bed with trump anyways so it's no surprise.

- dragontamer 10mo agoLast government was breaking up Google. This one is protecting it. How much of a reversal do you need before you can tell the difference? Did you follow the Google Antitrust case at all?
- throwaway290 10mo agoHow is that even relevant The current US government is reversing literally everything like a small child out of spite. That doesn't mean HN mods are "grifters" who are "in bed" with them
- dragontamer 10mo ago> but I'm not even sure it's that much more friendly than previous gov Do you take this line back, or did you simply forget you said this? Or is there some fine detail you wish to clarify here. Because one admin literally suing for the breakup of Google, and the next admin giving the case up with no argument is about as opposite as you can get. The facts simply do not match your assertions
- throwaway290 10mo agoWhy would I take it back? Did I lie in it? Should I assume that breaking up google is bad for YC? And not breaking up google is good for YC? Why? Like having Google around would increase business opportunities for YC funded startups? And therefore HN mods are grifters in bed with trump? Sorry my friend but this is simply an insane And even if breaking up google actually hurts YC, if one admin is reversing literally everything from the other admin out of princple and this accidentally does some good for you it doesn't mean it's friendly to you. Sometimes I can't tell here who's more crazy US righties or US lefties...
- dragontamer 10mo ago> Why would I take it back? Did I lie in it? Just say that the Trump admin is friendlier to Google. Can you do that for me? Or are you unable to even do that? > How is that even relevant If it's not relevant, you should be able to admit it yourself without any issue. So take the statement 'This admin is friendlier to Google than Biden admin was', and make sure your statements are logically consistent with said statement. That's all I'm asking you to do. > Sometimes I can't tell here who's more crazy US righties or US lefties... Don't making this a left or right thing. I'm just seeing if you can admit to the differences between 2024 and 2025 with respect to Google and the antitrust case. It's not like the fine issues of antitrust cases are an issue that the left or right really rallies behind.
- pseudo0 10mo agoThis is a petty political slapfight, basically the definition of an off-topic submission. If you want to hear about it, turn on CNN. > Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, or celebrities, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.
- wk_end 10mo agoYou could maybe make that claim about the original broadcast, but an article in The Verge about internet censorship - and the internet routing around censorship! - seems highly relevant to tech.
- pseudo0 10mo agoWhat exactly is novel about this case of copyright infringement if you put aside the political angle? Thousands of new torrents get uploaded every day, this is established technology that has existed for decades.
- throwaway290 10mo agoFor this to be actually tech related it needs to have more interesting technical details. Otherwise it's like any other pirated movie and limitations of free speech story (it is always "censorship" or "good thing" depending on what speech particular person dislikes because of their political party) 3 hours ago I was against flagging these posts but after discussions in this thread I can see that it brings out the most insanity/flamebait/unconstructive/petty HN people and I fully support flagging these posts. No thoughtful conversation will happen
- msla 10mo agoPlease keep your petty bickering off HN. Complaining about topic-ness is off-topic. Besides, this is very on-topic. Precedent: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6912967 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6912967 (331 points)

- Refreeze5224 10mo agoThis is fascism. Stick your heads in the sand all you want, whine about how "overused" that phrase is all you want, but fascism is exactly what we are facing in the United States.

- mint5 10mo agoWhat’s up with all these posts that try to normalize the current admins turning ice into the gestapo, waging a war against the environment, and blatant overt corruption like pardoning every white collar criminal and fraudster they can. Because bush invaded Iraq the current guy gets a free pass to round up immigrants with gestapo like tactics? These “but in the past…” posts come off as excusing current wrongs and it seems willful
- krapp 10mo agoI think they're less excusing current wrongs and more attempting to point out that Trump and the nature of the current regime aren't anomalous. Believing such means getting rid of Trump alone is sufficient. Rather the attempt here is to illustrate that Trump is a manifestation of deep and systemic problems with American culture and that simply waiting for the "pendulum to swing the other way" or "Democrats to clean up the mess" isn't going to help. We need to have a much more complex and nuanced conversation than "Orange man bad," even given that orange man is very much bad. Otherwise he won't be the last, much less the worst.
- scarecrowbob 10mo agoYeah, I believe there is a difference between "hey, welcome to the party, isn't this horrible" and "what are yall complaining about, this is totally normal". The latter is "normalizing", the former is attempting to get folks to understand a broader context.
