There should be a penalty for such bogus trademark claims, best as % of the global revenue. Then, maybe, they would learn that a corporation cannot bully others only because it has unlimited legal resources.

Congrats to SF politicians (and people who voted for them) for ruining this city.

Good luck enforcing that. With most high tech it's rather the other way around: the technology gets first used in the military and after some delay, the general public receives the tampered version to play with.

Yeah, the problem is that it's surprisingly easy to fall for the fake if it re-affirms your world view.

I think the primary issue is that, while internet users usually question the authenticity of photos (as a normal practice), they tend to subconsciously trust what they see in videos. It will require a significant mental shift to now questio

Never understood the childish fighting between languages, libraries within a language or as here different viewpoints. I mean, it's good to discuss different viewpoints, but programming choices is a hill I would never want to die on.

Is it suddenly allowed on HN to post GPT-generated comments, @dang?

I struggle to understand why there is no "deposit banks" category which would include heavy regulation, with full reserves required. There is certainly a significant number of people who just want to keep their money safe. They wo

Generally the more transparency there is on both sides, the better: This way, the market can punish bad behaviors (abusive landlords / problematic tenants) and reward those who act properly.

How about ratethetenant.com - I can imagine many property owners paying heavy $$$ for such rating.

A free market for content provider essentially means that they can do whatever they want with their content and rights to it.

It's interesting to see that free market competition actually worsened the customer offering when it comes to streaming services. Back in the days, Netflix was a one-to-see-all service and that was also one of the reasons why it took p

I will never understand why most of Big Tech acquisitions end up with a shutdown. (same for Google, FB, etc, apart from a few outliers) Like: They could just buy a controlling stake, let it run by the original team and just add some cross

Is it better than the standard YouTube algo? Because on YT video it's like: You picked Rammstein? Sure, here is your next video with classical music, because you were listening to it last week.

To be honest, I find their music recommendation algo still way behind what Pandora (the music streaming, not the jewelry brand) cracked years ago. It amazed me with the fact that even after creating a radio from a single song, I got exactly

Why not? Essentially, if I build and host a hobby site, it's my digital property. You have the right to see what are the conditions to visit (essentially: fetch) it and if you don't agree, you are free to go.

I don't understand why it isn't solved in this way: You get a banner on your first visit, with a list "here are all the cookies and ways how we use your data, if you are not fine with it, please leave this website" This

The numbers might not be 100% accurate (as other commenter mentioned, there is no normalized dataset available) but they show an approximate scale. It seems though that some Bay located HN readers disagree with both statistical and anecdota

With all the EU initiatives, one can see that some ideas make sense (securing privacy, regulating tech monopolies), but once it gets into legislations it ends up with monsters like the cookie banner or GDPR. In the end it doesn't do wh

You falsely assumed that the data is sourced from UCR.

Where does it state that it's based on the UCR program? Because their methodology is well described: https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/about-the-data/crime-rates
