Spend some time on HN reading people's comments about how AI frees them and liberates their minds and lets them be creative in ways that were never possible before and how anyone who thinks otherwise is just a Luddite. You'll real

Cool. How would you make your phone stop spying on you, right now? Presumably you still need to use it, so simply turning it off and throwing it out and never using a smartphone again isn't an option. So how you you keep using your pho

That's fair criticism. The US isn't that unique in terms of colonialist expansion in the New World and I honestly forgot about Haiti. I just knew that Britain managed to end slavery without a war but I forgot about Haiti and its u

Not every country or tribe has been engaged in near continuous violence for over two centuries. That isn't simply "fighting many wars" it's being "existentially bound to warfare." The US is peculiar. It'

The thing is - people here find industry news and contentious topics (and AI) interesting. A lot of people here only find that interesting and would vehemently oppose anything else as "off-topic." I guess you could check the sec

Two small issues: - you have a separator that isn't commented out on line three. Just don't add these at all, it doesn't help anything. - your requires (eg "Projets.Space Conqueror.outils") should point to folders (

Curation and moderation aren't "criminal," and HN doesn't release their fork of Arc Forums because it contains business code for YC that would be a hassle to get rid of, but the original is open source. People come here

Even within the Federation, colonies can collapse and fail, experience famine, plague, etc. Tasha Yar came from one such colony that had regressed into violent anarchy. The Federation is a post-scarcity utopia until the writers want somethi

And I'm pointing out that those Nazis were never going to listen to me or vote my way to begin with, because "my way" is antithetical to their worldview. And Nazis is what they are. That's what you call fascists, white s

The problem is you're blaming me for the actions of Nazis because pointing out that the Nazis are Nazis makes Nazis feel bad, rather than blaming the Nazis for being Nazis. What exactly do you think they have to say that I need to hear
