Could you expand on your response to them for those of us who are unsure of how to diplomatically push back on something like this?

Fly.io is also the first thing that came to mind for me. I haven't used it yet but it looks awesome and I've really liked seeing the founders interact here on HN.

We don't know because they haven't even tried, they'd rather make excuses which conveniently also make them richer.

No, I certainly don't believe that. But if they report on one billionaire buying a major media platform / outlet, shouldn't they do it for the others? I mean, it's not like this stuff happens everyday.

I stopped reading after the first paragraph, couldn't get past the obvious slant from the authors. Genuinely curious, did EFF write a similar article when Bezos bought the WP? (I searched but couldn't find anything). I hope so bec

I don't know, what about substack? People are seeking out journalism and paying for it.

Right, you also have to look at the embarrassingly low subscribers they got using that dollar figure.

Sure, but don't get hung up on the $100B number. The overall point being made is that FAANG is seen as a rock of stability compared to crypto and yet has experienced massive price change over a relatively short amount of time. The poin

I hear you, but as soon as anyone "siezed control" they would be summarily thrown out in the mud and made a laughing stock by the entirety of the nation. Don't let the tiny vocal minority of fools chanting election fraud tric

Lol how many $100B+ market cap businesses decline 60%+ in 6 months? Parent's point is that this is unheard of for an established player and makes stability of FAANG look really bad.

Seems like just another low-effort dig at greenwald? He's got haters for sure but they never seem to have substantive arguments... or at least none that I've seen.

I don't consider the 2008 bailout a "crime" per se but it was definitely a govt handout and did not punish the bad actors who caused the issues in the first place. It's interesting to me that you ignored the rest of the

Keep in mind, Merriam-Webster changed the definition of 'anti-vax' to include being against vaccine mandates [0]. So if you are against mandatory COVID vaccines for 5 year olds, you are technically an 'antivaxer'. I don&

This is the correct perspective imo. Our tech has outpaced our laws. We as a society need to rethink how we operate and move forward with these new technologies without being buried under the wave of change they bring. Section 230 was our f

It was a riot, not a protest. The kid was an idiot for bringing a firearm, just like the idiots in the mob who chased a kid with a firearm.

JS has a weak stdlib so it's definitely more common to need to pull in some deps vs python. Of course, nothing is forcing you to install silly packages that are wrappers for one-liners. > In JS you need a handful of third party pack
