Why not build a broad coalition and get other countries to mediate on behalf of Israel?

If that were the case, you wouldn’t see 10-14 year old see a 500% increase and the increase would be closely correlated with when they got the phone, etc. Also, the article seems to suggest that the absolute incident rate isn’t high - which

That seems odd. What would be the basis of such a lawsuit?

I just asked “What was the last question that you were asked?” Co-pilot: The last question I was asked was about the height of Mount Everest in terms of bananas. Looks like a canned response.

I guess one way to get data on that would be to ask people “Outside of tech and Buffet crew, how many billionaires can you name?”

I really doubt that any of these companies want the bad publicity that comes with illicit drugs. As someone who works on integrity for a small ad platform, I can tell you that there is no way to prevent 100% of the bad things from going thr

You seem to be confusing interoperability with WA’s desires to make sure that e2e encryption isn’t broken. What’s the point of thinking that WhatsApp is e2ee if anyone can write their own end point? my friends and I use WhatsApp because we

> Ideally, laws would be written such that the only thing that could fill that gap would be real life social interaction. I would love to hear a proposal around this. As an immigrant in the US, “social media” is my connection not only to

I realize this is old, but you’d think the HN commenters would ask the obvious: “what will fill the gap”? The human need to connect isn’t going away. Hint: Twitter, TikTok, VK-variant, or some government supported social network. With Russi

Controversial take: Meta sees this as the way to improve their AI offerings faster than others and, eventually, better than others. Instead of a small group of engineers working on this inside Meta, the Open Source community helps improve i

I think the question there is how much of that is organic vs operators pushing and "subsidizing" (really interest free loans) iphone sales.

I hear you but I think even partially “open source” models are better than all the closed systems that can only be accessed via APIs. I would like to acknowledge companies that offer even partially open source models in hopes of convincing

I guess they wanted to leave some for Harvard, Stanford, and Caltech engineers too.

Is it just me or are these becoming more common now? My mortgage servicer has so much valuable data on me (PII, bank debit details, est. income, home value, loan amount, etc.). We need companies to justify why they retain sensitive data vs

I think the real problem is the fact that you can’t buy or rent in some markets without an agent. As a buyer, I should be able to make an offer and work with the lender to schedule all the due diligence required. Some people need more help

I think MDM systems enable governments to track quite a bit these days. I think the real issue probably is somewhere between retaliation and the desire to support a domestic competitor. China has long had a view that it can't be relian

I think you should ask a teen what social media is to them. My nieces and nephews are constantly messaging each other. 95% of their usage is messaging. It is spread across several apps. Discord for gaming, IG for trends, TT for short videos

But aren’t most conference attendees from out of town? My guess is either shrinking demand for the conference (vs the cost) and or location desirability.

The article isn't about income taxes. Income taxes are taxes on income that you earn in any calendar year. The article is about wealth taxes. In addition to income taxes, Norway has a wealth tax, which taxes net wealth above $170k (NOK

They could have just priced the API at: ARPU from Ads on Reddit + some markup for maintaining the API. Apollo could pass this on to their users as the fee for ads free Reddit experience. This way their incentives are aligned with Apollo’s.
