"How do we know that..." "...is there a Snopes fact checked source?..." I'm honestly finding it more and more difficult to believe there are actual biological people who think and talk this way...

Binance has not only been more honest than FTX but also more honest than Coinbase. But this is HN and the people here are smart but lack the intellectual courage and honesty to challenge their beliefs, so they'll believe in things like

Yes Russia did invade Ukraine, but wouldn't the US invade Canada if Russia had organized a coup there to get rid of Trudeau then put a Russian puppet there? Of course the US would... Or would you argue that the 2014 Ukrainian coup wasn

What am I missing here? I thought both Microsoft and Activision were American companies, why would the UK even have a say in this? Is it a "if you buy it you can't operate here" kind of statement?

Oh you're right. TIL. I just assumed because it's used a lot in Chinese phones.

Contrary to mediatek chips who openly send it to China or apple chips who also openly send it to Apple, and of course let's not forget the intel management engine ;)

It's funny how you can tell who spends time on reddit by when they say you said something you didn't say to burn you at the stake.

This implies the internet isn't glitchy, spammy, scammy and AI powered today. Who do you think wrote the news for the last 10 years? Because either journalists only need a pen to get a job and all have the same opinion or that garbage

The internet has always been a too good to be true kind of thing, a black swan of human history where the lords and kings and priests didn't control every aspect of the slave's life, it took them 2 to 3 decades but eventually the

1T$ will never explode and drag it down, it's "QE saved by the state" kind of money, so if UBS is overleveraged, it makes sense to buy Credit Suisse, this way if it all goes to shit they'll blame it on CS and if it doesn

Yeah imagine the anticompetitive laws in marketing and the free will questions we'll ask then? Something like Burger king suing mcdonalds for showing you a bicmac and releasing dopamine x1000 times not because it's weird (-er than

The way I use the mouse and keyboard makes this already too fast and I find myself in need to slow down how fast I take information in anyway. What makes you think people can handle it being 4 times faster? The bottleneck will eventually be

Using an expensive AI model to run a textual version of a game made for a portable console that came out 2 decades ago is some dystopian shit.

HN is something else though, you post anything criticizing Google or Apple in the past year and the first answer is always some weird mental gymnastics trying to tell you how the decision is for the good of the consumer instead of driven by

Yeah it's great as an assistant to a critical thinking human, people who are criticizing it are either doing it for clickbait aka money or expected it go think for them. Like it showed me how to split an audio file into parts with ffmp
