The ubiquity of this issue really points to a deeper, admittedly unsolvable issue: morality is not a shared value of significance. Every discussion of security assumes that the primary threat is a purposely malicious actor, not an accident

I’ve looked at some of the Copilot threads but am unable to follow the issue. Can someone summarize what the issue is with Copilot and why a BSD license would have been significant for the code?

What's interesting to me is that the discussion so far has emphasized: security and freedom. It's clear that consumers care very little about these two ideas in the ways that the technological elite (i.e. HN) do. If I don't u

That's not my point. Yes, someone poor benefits greatly from a dollar store, but they're paying a premium that someone that is more wealthy does not pay because the wealthy person can take advantage of economies of scale: a wealth

I did. Preview just had too many features that I was used to. Preview was a great reader...and if I found a great reader on Windows I found that it wasn't a great annotator (which Preview was). Man, I tried so many different things. E

I tried switching to Windows about 2 years ago from macOS. I found that the lack of a good replacement for Preview was a real deal breaker for me. I tried a lot of different things to make it work. It wasn't the only thing, but the fac

Sorry, I was on mobile. I meant: if the business model is clear then so is the motivation and thus it will be clear what expectations for support look like. I think having a clear indicator for what Hedgehog's motivation is (i.e. the b

What’s the business model? There’s no pricing or indication of motivation/support.

The issue I have with (2) is that Ham's construction of the three choices doesn't take into account that what the modern mind and it's assumption about what is "factual" (and valuable) is substantially different fro

This practice is very common among immigrant/non-Western communities. Oftentimes an educational institution with a religious background offers the highest quality and most prestigious education. In addition, while they might not have t

Not surprising but disappointing. Human rights issues won't be addressed until countries that enjoy access to Chinese markets/services change their own values.

This is helpful. I agree about transparency in impact. I also understand that it is often difficult to measure that impact quantitatively when you are a charity. Business is easier because $ is easily quantifiable. I'm not so intereste

Can you describe how Sunrise Movement is effective in helping to mitigate climate change? (I looked at their website but I'm interested in quantitative data.)
