I'm going to sub because the lead dev is a college kid who's poured his heart and soul into this thing I use every day. It's really just a donation and I think it's good of him to try to monetize somehow.

The accused is accused of violating federal law, so it's normal that a federal agency would make the arrest. FBI seems to make more sense than DEA or ATF, no?

I wonder if it's not that people are getting dumber or less able to hold attention; rather, that everyone is being more exposed to lowest common denominator material because of efficient distribution. Reader's Digest was always th

A bit disingenuous; he also had a career as a soldier.

To be fair, people who post on Facebook get exactly what they were promised. Users of free products generally don't expect a rev share.

They are shutting their app store down, at least for non-first-party devices: https://www.androidpolice.com/amazon-android-app-store-shut-...

You assert things strongly, but you are not an arbiter of truth about data classification in the federal government - this is certainly an area where discussion can be had and where becoming more informed increases the quality of discussion

This is the sort of counterargument I'd have liked to see instead of disagreement-driven downvoting, yes.

Science includes activities outside reading papers that slightly disagree, such as testing hypotheses with experiments; hence my comment that the former isn't science in a nutshell. It describes research quite well, which one can argu

It's too bad that this is being downvoted - swiftymon is trying to provide some context. It's useful to the discussion and well sourced. I'd love to read counterarguments rather than have this fade away :)

There are a lot of bluesky users who really hate Musk and they post a lot whenever he does anything.

This seems like an unfair conspiracy theory. It’s more likely that they are just a big target with historically not enough defense.

The incentive structure that they're using makes it much more likely that a good regulation will be kept than a bad one; this isn't a blanket destruction of all regulation, rather a review process that requires agencies to periodi

Why can't you upvote comments on HN?

Honestly this reads like a paid post for a candidate, quoting a TV show and following it with a candidate endorsement is either astroturf or a good indication that you should think a bit.

Wow, that’s excellent! I missed the news. Really happy to hear this.

No, the problem is Mozilla. Management has been so bad that Firefox is hard to recommend now. Servo is a great engine but the company behind it isn't earning support and I think it's not going to last. I'll keep using Firefo

I'm sure this isn't the intention of their regulation, but water rationing is a great way to encourage people to move to where the water already is.

It's true, it just used to be behind the scenes available to those who seek it out. Like that skeezy room at the back of the video store that had curtains blocking it off. IMO the real "problem" here isn't technological

Clearly people of every ilk exist, but my claim is that people like this are irrelevant to the debate around socialized healthcare. Show me an American politician who's run on the platform of openly wanting to hurt the poor because th

There is a wide gap between not wanting to be responsible for helping the poor and actively wanting the poor to fail. You're confusing the two.

You'll find very few people who don't want poor people to have things and it's disingenuous to put it that way. The two commonly held arguments against socialized healthcare in America are: First, a distrust that the governme

One shouldn’t conclude that regulations lead to positive outcomes from this. In addition to having a disdain for regulation, OceanGate was doing bad engineering. Projects that follow regulation strictly can fail due to bad engineering too

If we define 'healthy market' as one in which there are abundant buyers and sellers, and in which prices on the lower end are consistently within the middle class's grasp, is inequality still bad in and of itself?

Is inequality bad in and of itself? If there's a healthy market of buyers and sellers, but also a lot of inequality, is that a problem?
