I think a lot of these decisions are bad, but the real problem of declining, aging population is there. Governments that don't have immigration to bolster the working age population end up like Japan, with an economy that shrinks after

I agree with your point the users are at fault, not the technology itself. It's the govt which was separating families wrongly and the schools who discriminated who should suffer, not the companies making the tech. That being said, thi

I've found my use of Amazon declining over time. Temu has basically replaced lots of consistent small-value buys that I'd go to Amazon for: cables, plastic things, simple tools, kitchen stuff, etc. High ticket items I usually shop

To be fair, that is an accurate description of a lot of software libraries I've used at work, even some we've paid for.

The money creates a bigger quality gap. At Meta's US offices, most devs are foreign origin. They moved for the money. So those devs wouldn't just accept paltry sums if Meta hired them overseas and they didn't need to come to

The best and brightest of Asia and Europe move to the US because of the salaries. Thus, the talent pool in the US becomes far stronger than the talent pool in other regions. But it's also true that FAANG all have global offices and tea

Why does only Israel have the right to defend itself and not Palestine? When Israeli settlers steal Palestine day by day why does Palestine not have a right to exist and only Israel does? When Israel imprisons Palestinians for years without

Right, only Israel should be allowed to launch missiles and rape and kill Palestinians in its prisons where they are kept for years without charges. That's obviously what he meant.

I used to feel like you until I befriended a Palestinian in college. He had to take a year off because Israel denied him a permit to leave Gaza to attend college in the US. He had every document and paid tuition, but the Israeli government

Not much is known about Hamas propaganda because sharing it is illegal in the USA where YC and HN are based. On the contrary the IDF is pretty open about its online media budget, spend, and goals. So isn't it natural that people would

Haven't seen one in person, but I know some people on the list for it. I think it looks cool in pics so far. It's kinda like a Hummer for people into AI

I pretty much found out about all these from HN. I think most of their traffic / downloads comes from this site.

No I think his comment implies Gazans see how Israeli settlers treat West Bank Palestinians (sometimes burning their homes while families are inside and laughing at whosoever dies) and think that they'd rather support strongmen who att

You will be made quite miserable if you find what you seek. The Israeli politicians basically see Gaza as a "problem" population which they cannot deal with and which is hampering their national goals. And it's shockingly and

Isn't blockading people and food and goods and putting the entire population of Gaza on a "starvation plus" diet and constantly and blatantly violating int'l law to throw West Bank Palestinians off their land further and

The IDF HQ is in a heavily populated part of Tel Aviv. If a country dropped an enormous bomb on it which flattened nearby civilian homes and populations, would it be okay because the IDF is "hiding" among civilians? The IDF also l
