STEM students need to be heavily incentivized. When the world goes to shit I can guarantee the journalism majors aren’t going to be solving our global warming crisis. I mean, they’re already failing their one job of spreading awareness.

Maybe a controversial opinion but the world needs news that contains no opinions, no fluff, no guesses at what that piece of news may hold for the future, no interpretation whatsoever. Basically I want journalists to not journal at all and

Seems like there an opening for a new type of software, DaaS, or Disaster as a Service. MBAs at your company sweating because they can’t infinitely grow their revenue? Hire my company, who will create fake stories about an earthquake in a c

The FBI stole my dog and threatened to steal my cat too if I didn’t keep quiet about it.

Florida also massively doctored their stats so I’m not sure how you can trust them.

For me, Apple Maps replaced Google Maps, and Google Maps then replaced Yelp/Foursquare/etc. Apple does a better job of getting me where I want to go and Google does a better job of letting me know what’s around when I get there.

I’ll let you in on a secret that would deter care thieves. Adequately punish the ones police happen to catch. It’ll create a reinforcing cycle. Police are more interested in pursuing these cases because it’s worth it for their time, and thi

> disable one or both as they can take more effort to moderate/maintain. This is why I don’t consider Discord’s version of threading as true threading. They are temporary channels with all the same admin/moderation requirements

They are temporary channels, not the simple and low friction version that Slack uses.

Discord doesn’t have threading for messages. It deserves every ounce of hate it receives.

Seems like they’re successfully pandering to an audience that 1) Doesn’t want to pay and 2) advertisers don’t want to advertise to. Wonder what that type of audience might be comprised of.

Revenue dropping while simultaneously implementing a revenue sharing scheme for influencers? It’s a bold strategy, Cotton. Let’s see if it pays off for ‘em.

> please don’t add keyboard shortcuts This is entirely unreasonable. Imagine Google docs not being able to offer a shortcut to enable bold formatting, for example. Terrible experience.

And it’s why unions have been losing collective bargaining power over the last couple decades. The world is different now. Economy is global, people are trying to make a living doing something that makes them happy. Not everyone is a union

Which partially explains why China and Russia are full steam ahead with the current pace of climate change. Huge swaths of their land is going to become arable.

> The content pipeline will be rationed and extended Can’t be any worse than it already is with rationed and extended, completely formulaic shoes like NCIS or Simpsons far overstaying their welcome.

User-replaceable batteries always have a negative effect on the design of a product. I’d rather see free battery replacements every X years be offered from authorized techs.

This honestly sounds more like a cartel than a union.

> WGA blacklists you if you scab Someone unaffiliated with the WGA takes a job and then is ostracized? That sounds pretty evil, and it puts me firmly on the side of Hollywood.

Microsoft saw Sony’s acquisition of Bungie as open season and they’re making moves now to compete. Good for them.

Probably a smart decision on Microsoft’s part. The current identity solution has progressed far away from what Active Directory was decades ago and it makes sense to remove that, usually negative, branding.

Most have realized their individual contributions amount to about as much as a single drop of acid in the Pacific Ocean.

That’s even worse as I’d expect a developer to know better.

This is 100% the case and I’m getting quite a laugh out of all the “top minds of HN” lambasting Apple for something that’s obviously not intended.
