This. When I started my career it wasn’t just “work”, I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. That passion seems to be fading, and it was put into overdrive by the lockdowns. I can see a day in the very near future of giving up in this whole “wo

Agreed. I will never work a job with a >10 minute commute another day in my life. On top of the time lost, you don’t even get paid for it. It costs you time and money to go to work.

What should HN readers do that are forced to work within these ecosystems? Ex. Work, school. It’s not always so easy to walk away from an entire platform. People’s entire livelihoods could be based around Google. I don’t see any issue with

I believe the comment you are replying to is sincere. Not everyone is “picking their own convenient opinion”. There are good people in this world that just want the best for others. I think that may be the case here. Godspeed.

This is such a fascinating evolution of technology for me. It reminds me a lot of my experience with psychedelics. The ability to see things in a much different way. To visualize the many possible ways an image may truly present to our brai

I agree. Google Classroom exploded during the pandemic in my local school systems. Enterprises are moving to Workspace from 365. I hope they drive each other's prices to the bottom. :)

And this is why the constitution is in place. To prevent the government from overstepping.

Maybe this place you dream of does not yet exist. I, like you, wish there was such a place where everything just worked. Everyone got along. I think we all long for such a place.

AI is not introducing any more concern. Companies already incorporate this practice. Are you against the practice or against AI?

I'm not surprised about how data is shared. I know we freely share it to companies without concern. Much of this is within our own control. Regulations would prevent this type of abuse to power consumers in the United States. The rest

Thank you for the reply. The power companies are going to buy access to this data. This government regulated utility is going to be allowed to charge its subscribers based on social metrics. This sounds very far fetched to me.

Agreed. Existential level risks, need existential level arguments.

Location is going to significantly impact the number of opportunities. I love that about big cities, but I miss the peacefulness of the country.

I think most of us would like to a part of that type of relationship. Usually you can find these potential partners in communities.

Assuming that timeline, can we agree that we have some time (years?) to hash this out further before succumbing to the ideals of a select few?

Do you have a source for the "fun" fact? What circumstances would ignite a war outside of striking first?
