That's why I say it's a low priority issue. Could there be an issue in the future? Possibly. Are privacy laws like GDPR worth the economic and other harms? Probably not. The amount of wasted programmer hours alone has far overcome

Google and Meta are both banned in China because they wouldn't give the party everything it wanted. Not to mention your ISP has all the same info (with more detail!) and also will give it to the government.

Data privacy is one of the least important issues of our day. People (especially on HN) foam at the mouth about it but are unable to produce specific harms Google and Meta ad tracking creates.

It will absolutely be popular with women eventually. Erotica is just so incredibly popular. It's just that men make these AI tools so the first products will serve their needs.

Yes, he told them last year that the harvest would be worse this year due to unsustainable habitat destruction and he was right.

This article is worth reading start to finish. It's about more than fungus, it's about how a scientist can try to impact society and the limitations of it.

Power users do keep the internet running but they complain so much. I guess they believe idealistically in the projects so it hurts them when it's not as good as it could be.

Not coding related, but the worst sins of corporate life (like strict procurement teams) stems from efforts at deduplication.

Seriously, like big tech has like 6 month standard paternity packages now. Try getting that at any other career in the USA.

As someone who works in advertising, this comment is wrong in many many ways.

I'm a professional B2B advertiser who specializes in growing start-ups. This article is kind of silly. It's like going to a start-up with a really bad engineering team and saying this is why engineering is useless.

I used to love the interview process - I'm well suited to it as well.

Sounds like the most effective $1.4b the government has ever spent, $ per $.

Not really. It was more a marketing gimmick for the company. The kind of advertising targeting Cambridge did (based on cheap 2010s Era fb personality quiz responders) had absolutely no targeting value. It just sounded like techno magic to j

Cambridge Analytica is also entirely fake, in the sense that it's highly unlikely any votes were affected by it.

Growing up in NYC, I had three hours of commuting per day from age 14 to 26. Then I switched to work from home (this was before covid). I would never go back.

ROP is very very true to Tolkien themes, less so true to details, and I enjoy it very much. The opening theme alone represents the music of the ainur so well, I never skip it.

I mean I personally know three family friends in unions who are incompetent and protected by union rules so they will never be fired. (One in immigration, one a court officer, one a public school teacher).

You see this on HN often when advertising comes up. There's a large group of people ideologically against it.

Basically nothing else in life works that way. If you punch or yell out your anger, you get angrier over time. The biggest predictor of donating to charity is past donations. The more marriages someone has, divorce rate dramatically rises (

I met my wife at 15, got married at 22, and are very happily married at 32. We both never had other partners. It's worked out well for us.

Cambridge Analytica was an entirely fake issue so in this case the general public is more informed than the average hacker news reader. I'm not a republican btw, I just know a lot about the nuts and bolts of the digital industry. Anybo

I love edibles but think smoking should be banned in public. It smells so horrible, it's a pollution in NYC.
