It's enshitification of the web. As time moves forward, the web becomes less usable and more about implementing dark patterns to squeeze a few bucks out of you. Anyone would have likely eventually made this decision. It's just a n

The US plan is to enrich oligarchs who are friendly with Trump and to enact white nationalist policies. Anything beyond that is just like a kid playing an arcade game without putting any quarters in.

I'm not talking about theory, but what's happening in practice. In case you're unaware, Australian style ban is enforced via surveillance, such as a a mix of methods, such as facial age estimation, behavioural signals and an

It seems like the game is “off loading” the enemy bullet to player collision detection to the HuC6280. This would have presented a very complicated challenge to would-be bootleggers back in the day Having an invincible RoboCop would be a

Consolidation of all kinds of media (social, print, TV, radio, etc.) is a big ingredient in this. Another ingredient is the enshitification of the net, along with the value of unfettered collection of user data. The problem isn't that

It sounds like you don't like social media. With that in mind, why is it good to add a layer of user surveillance on the Internet? Where's the connection between "social media is harmful" and "it is good to add surv

From a definition standpoint, hn is a social media site. From a legislation standpoint, it's not nearly popular (infamous?) enough to legislate (the mentioned sites have had enough negative coverage to manufacturer consent for this inv

If you choose to self censor a headline for fear of getting voted down on news.ycombinator.com, that says as much about you as the -1ers.

Can you provide evidence for the claim? Polling from pew and Gallup suggest this isn't the case.

Lots of reasons. One of them is that other countries negotiate deals country wide and can get bulk discounts. The US does this with the VA and Medicare, and people using those services generally pay less than the rest of Americans. In the e

Rueters doesn't show a paywall for me. The source of the pressure described is in the headline though. I'm not sure why OP editorialized it (as it is against hn guidelines): Exclusive: Drugmakers raise US prices on 350 medicines d

Reactionaryism and vice signaling are par for the course for this administration. This was an opportunity for both, and they took it.

They would not allow suspicious looking PCB's in regardless. If that's what you wanted to communicate, you would just add something like "suspicious electronic device" to the list. It's still a legitimate question a

Like the article asks, why ban these two specific brand name devices? If you're worried about signal jammers, why not communicate that you're banning, oh, I don't know, "signal jammers"?

Adafruit is headquartered in New York and selling raspberry pi is a big part of their business. Reading this as self absorbed or entitled is disingenuous. They're worried about their business & asking why these brand names are sing

Systemically & historically, the US favors landowning white men and discriminates against others wherever possible.

Your mother is a unique person. Only she can explain her actions, if she wants to. Chatgpt or any other person won't be able to. Your mother may be neurodivergent in ways that make it impossible for someone else else to answer for her,

Pardoning criminals is one that comes to mind. Seriously, the pardons alone make this the most pro-crime administration in my lifetime. Probably ever.

In the grand scheme of things, it's not like Zuck is any better than Ellison in the context of the article. Conservative consolidation of media is the point: Twitter, Meta, TikTok, are all the same flavor of Skittles with a slightly di

Make no mistake this isn't about protecting US citizens, it's about consolidating power around conservative billionaires. It's not just limited to Tech. The Ellison family are media moguls. The Ellisons just want to gain more

If there were any significant number of people who would pay for a dumb high end TV, the market would sell them one. I don't think they would. There are some TV manufacturers that are better about not nagging you (which is one of the

A separate box allows more consumer choice, which is generally a better experience. In the life of my last TV (10+ yrs), I've had to switch out that separate box three times. It would have sucked & been way more expensive to have

I don't think this is very hard. Someone didn't properly secure confidential data and/or someone gave this agent access to confidential data. Someone decided to go live with it. Reprimand them, and disable the insecure agent.

Yeah, I mean to get back to the original statement in the blog, this seems like less of a tech issue and more of a culture issue. The LLM enables the junior to do this once . It's the team culture that allows them to continue doing it
