Especially when 1 in 4 congresspeople are still invested in the fossil fuel industry. Money talks. > As of Dec. 13, 2019, 134 members of Congress and their spouses own as much as $92.7 million worth of stock in fossil fuel companies and

Everyone is a genius for taking the safe employee path until we have a bad economy and the layoffs come. It’s been a LONG time since that’s happened. Just remember that.

No, and all it does is prove, once again, that big tech companies cannot be trusted to sustain even common sense privacy concerns. We need a privacy bill of rights. It’s time! The GDPR shows the way, and we can even improve on it with hinds

Man it’s so frustrating to see another failure to gain revenue from x labs. I really wish I had the resources to take one of these out and find product market fit. I just don’t understand why product market fit isn’t established and revenue

I think taking a slow path with AI around financial services is probably wise. Unfortunately I don’t think other countries and multinationals will take the same approach. So how do we avoid another arms race? This seems like a good public p

Yes, you’re being accurate and it’s likely somewhat like you’re saying. I mean, rational points! But not including or disclosing this in crime statistic reporting while using them as justification for critical decisions and presenting the

I just want you to know that kind of uncalled for unkind behavior doesn’t have a place here on HN. Please do better in future. This isn’t Reddit.

It’s almost like renewable energy was suppressed for years and now that we have it somehow it actually works?!? What?

Kinda worth noting that crime reporting to the FBI is a bit messed up. https://stateline.org/2023/10/27/politicians-love-to-cite-cr... So, all the discussion of stats tends to get washed if the national cri

The ability to abide by all store rules are not only legally enforceable contracts between companies — they are legal agreements after all — but a strong indicator of whether companies will abide by the normalized standards required to do b

Honestly, cancelling Adobe after getting my kids school account shadow billed for 6 months was a nightmare and obscenely difficult. I really think Adobe has gone full vulture on their users and they need a change of leadership of a breakup.

Allowing a company that repeatedly violates basic app store rules and exports data to a country with adversarial interests unrestricted access to our infrastructure via drones is highly problematic. This problematic situation extends in man

Are you suggesting the FBI should raid Canada? Because I’m increasingly convinced they would do it if you asked, if for nothing more than just a change of scenery.

Absolutely. It’s not just a bad path, it’s taken researchers down a road that robbed approaches that could have helped people of resources because they lied.

Let me be clear: I will literally burn any computer equipped with this technology I am forced to use and post the aftermath online. This is societal cancer. Total information monitoring is the death of any semblance of human independence an

Google has huge interconnect and exchange deals and dark fiber all over the place. It’s hard to explain just how much free transit and connect Google has to ISPs, and how preferable their deals are for delivery. They are a MASSIVE pipe of e

I’m hoping. That’s a good point. It really sounded like people from central casting. The fact that is was exactly that is hilarious to me. Your point is well advised!

Am I the only one that really dislikes these overly perky voices? And the one they used for the demo was GOD AWFUL. If this is what the future sounds like… idk. I was hoping for a calm, neutral and not eager assistant with a little class. A

I’ve noticed a drastic reduction here where I live already. Use will take care of itself if you ban the sale, which is what happened. Why the pessimistic take? Don’t you want to live in a quieter environment? Transitions take time — but we

They are already banned in California. The rest of you need to catch up. I for one am stoked to have a quieter electric one though of course I’m behind your sentiment! But for Calfironians, it’s already better for the environment with all t

I don’t (yet) have accessibility challenges beyond glasses but hitting the tiny arrows is incredibly difficult. How come HN doesn’t update to be more accessible? It’s been a long time… I’m surprised it hasn’t been talked about by the team t
