As an American, to me it's always felt like non-white Americans are never really accepted as "full" Americans by people as a whole. If a German guy moves to America and gets citizenship, he might be known as that German Ameri

It's really quite interesting how there are always posts on HN with people talking about how AI made their life great, did it cheaply, made a great product, and saved the day. But whenever someone asks for specifics, the questions are

Vietnam is even cheaper. The problem is you get paid in a roided up currency and it's a fun vacation for you. The locals get paid awful wages and a single night at an hotel for a typical person here is a whole month's rent for the

We're a little over 1 year in and the sudden ramp up feels absolutely nuts. In 2028 people will start to feel like it's normal. Just look at places like Russia. Everyone is used to the corruption and thinks it works well enough fo

Constitutional amendments are generally made with the purpose of granting rights to the people, not taking them away. The US once made the mistake of making an amendment to take away rights (banning alcohol), but then another amendment re

Countries who've made the mistake of allying with the US might face sanctions or some sort of threats. People will just use Chinese AI then. This is the US biting itself in the ass.

Asking "why would a company lie?" is probably the funniest thing I've seen all month. Every big company puts out BS nonstop.

SoftBank has a history of making investment decisions that are the absolute opposite of good. I'm always bewildered as to how they still exist since they make nothing but absolute blunders.

It is nonsense. But thinking it's okay for kids to be able to go outside and do what they want, but oh no the internet is dangerous and we need IDs is even more ridiculous, quite frankly. If you don't want kids using social media,

If you're letting your kids be lured and attacked, that's a parenting issue. Responsible parents aren't letting their kids slip out alone. The better solution to this would be some sort of penalty for irresponsible parenting.

Give your ID and full name and address to every site you access so that people care about freedom and privacy. Yeah. Genius idea. Strip away everyone's rights so they think "gee, I wish I had freedom", then never let them hav

I don't wear AirPods/headphones of any sort in public but I don't like talking to strangers while out and about and get very uncomfortable since it's almost always someone trying to get something from me. But every time

> We all went down to Harajuku to see if we could see some artistically dressed youngsters Over 95% of the people in Harajuku are tourists going there to do exactly that. Locals completely avoid the area.

With me, it's useless if I try to actually read something. But there are times where I just want to check my phone for 5 seconds, and that was enough to make me feel sick for the next hour. The dots help me with those quick checks. The

Every time someone has said some goofy thing will go away because people are getting smarter or realizing something, it's absolutely not the case. A large number of people will always want someone to tell them that they have everything

There's been a massive shift in the industry. It's gone from "me and a couple dudes are working on this thing that'll help people live a better life", to "let's lie about what our product can do to reach u

Agreed. That's why it's disgusting that these AI companies charge such outrageous fees for information they should be giving back to us for free.

And then the Amish see the world around them using electricity and cars and think, "Yep, I'm happier without that." And they're one of the few groups on earth with a growing population, so they're doing something ri

The scary thing to me is how Apple makes you jump through hoops to install or use any sort of app, but when it comes to adding items to your login items, they don't even require you to grant permission. Tried some little throwaway app

Japan is currently undergoing an oil crisis that the government is desperately attempting to hide. Companies have been saying they don't have the supplies they need for continued operation, and some are sucking it up by cutting back on

That's how the whole world is feeling about America now, yes. Nobody outside of America and Israel were ever remotely bothered by Iran. Especially not Japan, which had a good relationship with Iran going back a century. It's reall

We're going to reach a point where these companies stop asking for money and start mandating it. They've got a vice grip around the nuts of many governments and loads of companies have gone all in on investing in these slop heaps.

In every game I've made, I've had a resolution set for characters. Resolution is consistent across animations. It's week one gamedev stuff. Feels like Claude should've picked up on that, but clearly the 1 trillion they&#

In the 90s/2000s, my parents refused to even let me go into the front yard alone because I'd get "kidnapped". 24 hour news made lots of parents absolutely deranged and plenty of people really thought kidnappers flew arou
