Indeed, but the posturing/behavior of the USA's two, not-particularly-diverse political parties should probably not define the meaning of the words "left" and "right" (in a political context). There is more to

It's a company: the deal is that they help enable free speech of their customers , not everyone on earth or everyone in Sweden or anywhere else. A great litmus test for the (somewhat outrageous) claims in this thread: does Mullvad ref

Perfectly encapsulating how silly it is that so many posters in this thread are trying to make immigration policy a left vs right thing.

That doesn't mean the behavior of the company is political in the same direction? Am I taking crazy pills?

Seems unlikely now that both are separate public companies. Creative accounting acquisitions are somewhat more difficult in that context.

What evidence do you have that the company is not politically neutral?

They might not have as many HEBs in DFW, but that is where Central Market is head-quartered!

How is that BS? If the technique works, you can grow your sample of imaged brains and viewed images ad infinitum, and then why wouldn't I be able to tell what random thing any random person is looking at?

Ultrasound can penetrate the skull, esp if through a thin part of the skull (like the temporal bone, which going from the graphic on the website is exactly where they are targeting these waves) and with targeted frequencies. You are misinfo

Hot paths are basically never entirely comprised of your db query directly – they are part of some business logic contained in a backend service. So: you identify that "this API route is called a lot, but doesn't always need the

Cache invalidation on Redis is setting a TTL of 60s on the kv I just set, in a single atomic operation.

They weren't special even before LLMs. Drive-by script-kiddies would run some basic scripts against your platform and send generally-not-actually-a-vulnerability reports, claiming that these were big problems , and requesting to be pa

And somewhere in there Quicksilver was pretty popular. And now in 2026 the main competition is Raycast. An evergreen space really.

There are very clearly capabilities in medical tech that have not been fully explored due to compute/cost constraints and gaps in innovation. "Really smart PhDs have worked on this and come up with nothing" is a very unconvin

That is a pretty wild disparagement this early. A Theranos situation is one where fraud has been committed . Theranos itself would not have been a "Theranos situation" if, after making initial bold claims ("we're gonna

Tragedy of the Commons is not an analogy, it is an inevitable result of a large fraction of participants in a coordination game defecting due to perceived individual advantage.

Real life? Most not. Hacker News? Absolutely. Literally the comment I am replying to. > But it won't happen, as it's just 0.00001% of all the training data. Are you familiar with Tragedy of the Commons?

Yes, that is in fact how models get better at coding. Such a ridiculous stance: "I want LLMs to code for me, but I want them to be trained on other people's code, not mine, duh".

Because what you said is nonsense. They are capturing a fraction of the value they created with the invention of app-based ridesharing. They are not dipping into some magical pool of "exploitation" to juice that. Anyone that is

The entire "app-based rideshare market" was created by Uber, and in 2026 they don't capture anywhere close to 100% of it. An Uber driver's share of profits without Uber existing is $0.
