In this case, the suggestion of banning advertising is drawing downvotes from me because I see it as politically unrealistic. At least in my state, there isn’t even a ban on advertising online gambling!! It is quite a stretch to think we co

They derive a massive benefit from GCC even if they use nothing else at all. The point of the GP was to refute the claim that they were started “before open source was cool”.

You know this is ridiculous, which is why you posted with a throwaway. Obvious excessive spending should not be shrugged off by dividing the expense by the population of the area. Obvious excessive costs need to be reined in. Tax money need

The attacks would move to the normalization process. Anyway, normalization would be/cause a huge step backwards in the usefulness. All of the nuance gone.

The title of the article is obnoxious. The first part of the article puts down a person whose IQ is in the 140-180 range. If you read about the person, that part makes sense as an opinion. The second part of the article explains that the pe

To HN readers, the controversy is likely this: > the program was found to be quietly invasive as it allows the installer to install programs on the user’s device without permission. It circumvents the user validation process and successf

1. They are all scam emails. 2. AI detecting a scam, sure - it’s a scam. AI saying the email is ok… then what? I’d never trust it.

“Intellectual diversity” is not some kind of left wing code phrase. It means there should exist many different opinions and ways of thinking. Also, this isn’t an email. You’ve got to give some skin to get something out of dialog here. That

Eyeballing the data [1], it looks like total fatalities in the low 1000s, and roughly 20 hijackings per year 1980-2000. Let's value each human fatality at $1M, and - lacking any knowledge about the subject - cargo also at $1M/inci

Being banned from Facebook would be a VERY big deal for many users. If FB is willing to ban users of the extension (however they detect it), usage will drop to 0 fast. Far outweighing the benefit of tweaking the UI.

That D rating isn’t for physically unacceptable. It’s for complete incompetence or at least just punching the time clock. A lifetime of working for a bureaucracy that doesn’t care for you isn’t going to bring out the best anywhere else, eit

You don’t need to block all ads. Even stopping the bottom 50% cleans up the internet so much. You know how to find an adblocker if you read HN. If you don’t want to use one, that’s your choice but it’s disingenuous to complain about blockin

> Why do people […] take the time to debug […] but are too lazy to do a little manual writeup[?] They like to code. They don’t like to write. I’m not excusing it, but after you asked the question the conclusion seems logical.

Recently learned, to my surprise, that other major providers have not followed Google’s lead on this, so there are plenty of places dont.scam..me@ is a valid email (social engineering or typosquatting).

> Over the years, I’ve received all sorts of misdirected messages […] Looking at my text messages, surely these are a mix of serious business and the starts of scams. How unsavory to think that helping someone could be a bad thing.

How in the world would you keep AI out of schools? Ok, turn off the internet. And ban the cell phones. I suppose a district could block the known AI providers, so kids could only use AI at home. I’m very skeptical this would eliminate the n
