HN has a huge amount of Googlers as users. That’s the downvotes. Just look at the Googlers in this thread defending the company.

I’d say google earned that bad faith this year alone with what they did with maps.

From the dollar amounts shown these seem like they are very targeted in coverage, like 100 suspect locations at most for all of the contracts total.

It’s just that your statements are incorrect about families. The real numbers are: “In the county, children (ages 0 – 17) are 23 percent of the total population, in downtown, they are only 10 percent of the population.”

Maybe what should be taught is “don’t trust anything you read”. That goes for everything from textbooks to newspapers. Instead children are often taught to memorize and obey, which leads to issues when you have to tell your child that the t

I see that you’re not making any distinction between legal controlled immigration and illegal uncontrolled immigration. I think it’s arguable that illegal uncontrolled immigration is worse, and I’d start the argument by pointing to the cond

Depends on the state. California has usage restrictions, and I’m pretty sure these violate them. I’ll find out soon since I’ve filed complaints with the California attorney general about all of the apps.

Not only that, but a racial discrimination lawsuit. If someone can prove that one of the protected classes is getting worse service, it might make for a nice class-action. I’d love to see Zeta Global (among others) lose a few million for pe

That wouldn’t hold up in this case, because of that very important word “purpose”. They weren’t trying to get anything due to authority. In fact they were trying to make sure that Facebook was only approving ads by the actual authority.

Elon Musk is a psychedelics user. Both Steve Jobs and Bill Gates used LSD when they were younger. It’s not really a psychedelic, but I’ve always enjoyed the fact that Thomas Edison loved his cocaine wine.

Why do so many Googlers on HN have such unpleasant personalities? "Did it ever occur to you" that you make your employer look even more awful?

Supermicro was delisted from Nasdaq a month and a half before the article for shady reasons. They did a pretty good job damaging their brand all on their own. I'm sure they don't want to file a lawsuit where discovery shows what&#

Why are so many people ignoring the fact that Supermicro was delisted from Nasdaq over a month ago with continued delays and specious excuses from the company. Something really strange is going on there.

Looks like SuperMicro was delisted by Nasdaq just over a month ago. Wonder if it has anything to do with this under their pretty poor surface excuses for not being in compliance.

I recommend that anyone that has a problem with this in Europe file a GDPR complaint, and if you're in the US file a complaint with your attorney general. Some states' attornies general are looking for new ways to come down on Goo

Don’t forget that in 2015 the NAFTA requirements that allow Mexican trucks on US roads were fully put into effect so now we’ve got heavily polluting Mexican trucks on Southern California roads now.

It's my actual experiences in two of the United States' largest cities. It's not like Escape From New York, but it's more than enough to make it hard to get into any kind of reading or work. Maybe you're used to it,

I love the idea of libraries, but where I live most of them are almost as bad as public transportation. People fighting, being loud, people on drugs asking for money, so it's difficult to get comfortable to sit and read. Sadly you have

Completely agree with this. For some reason there's some knee-jerk reaction to digital independence. I feel like having centralized services like Google and Facebook has managed to to remove a lot of the cultural experience when lookin

Can any of the places in china even discuss independence in the open? Well, every place in the US can. They even can leave if they get enough votes. Go ahead and let me know when anyone in China gets to vote on anything.

Well the people in those places are allowed to openly talk about and pursue independence, unlike any place in China at all. Why don't you view Tibet as occupied?
