How about: tech companies must implement mandatory screenings of users' messages and posts to look for violent intent.

Sadly, the default values are an even bigger source of bugs. We just caught another one at $work where a field was never being filled in, but the default values made it look fine. It caused hidden failures later on. It's an incredibly

I'm not sure if there's any hope of US healthcare improving for a long while. The ACA was the only recent improvement. It was a small change, but the electorate decided that it was bad, pushed its supporters out of office, and ele

It gets super frustrating to have to empty/null check fields everywhere you use them, especially for fields that are effectively required for the message to make sense. A very common example I see is Vec3 (just x, y, z). In proto2 you

Mosh is so good, but their unwillingness to implement OSC52 for copying to clipboard sent me back to tmux.

There is not that much available data for these, so it will take new techniques to get AIs that are truly good.

Does solar scale linearly when you have to get onto roofs to install it? And when each roof is available for installation at different times, so only small crews can do it piecemeal?

Every time I copy paste something in python I have to check the whitespace. Often there's a problem that needs fixing, like the first line indented differently, or everything is off. Sometimes I'm not paying perfect attention and

It's a defect. We should fix it by making them do a recall.

And that's why the real name policies helped kill Facebook. The best way to section off your friends from family from work is a separate somewhat anonymous account for each.

Absolutely. I learned so much from my degree. Even at a decent school, the top level classes walked me through algorithms, compilers, operating systems, and graphics in a way I might not have done myself. Plus, the best people in my class w

Mosh does not support OSC52, so it's a barrier to getting copy/paste to work.

I have tried exactly this, and it does not work. Nobody who did direct work ever had recommendations for peer workers. They just don't care. Most subs work directly with generals and not each other that much. The general contractors kn

Ok, but let's make the non-compete bidirectional. If I leave or am fired from your company, then you are not allowed to hire anybody who works in my field for at least one year.

Inkscape. I love it, but a bit of touchup work would be really nice. I would especially love boxes and connectors to be even more seamless, so I can replace all the digital whiteboard apps with it.

A lot of the "science" we do is experimenting on bunches of humans, giving them surveys, and treating the result as objective. How many places can we do much better by surveying a specific AI? It may not be objective, but at least

Once a startup hits series A, early exercise is often $X0,000 and a lot of people cannot afford to take a speculative bet with that kind of money.

Yes, it is possible to care about more than one thing. YC was founded more than 20 years ago, and I don't recall any lobbying on the issue of employee tax treatment. If they do care about this they are being super quiet about it.

Interesting that YC is jumping on this tax code thing, but the shitty tax situation for employees trying to hold onto the equity they've earned is just ignored. The number one problem for startup employees is that the AMT tax makes it

MAGA is DEI for morons. To be fair, they need jobs too! But giving them all the White House jobs does not seem fair or effective to me.

They could have ended the diversity statements, but kept all the research. They decided to end all the research too.

He said he would end it on day one. That's a promise he didn't keep. It's not my fault he made such a dumb, impossible promise. It is true he broke it.

February 29th, 2027, the so called "Hacker News" is declared a criminal and illegal site. The wartime powers delegated to the Supreme President allow him to imprison domestic enemies and remove them. Gradus_ad is right in the midd

ICE is supposed to keep records, and the courts are supposed to create a transparent record in the case of a dispute. But ICE hid the evidence and prevented the courts from looking into it.

The feds have been lying in their court filings for the past few months, so don't take their complaint at face value.

Here are my proposals: The Senate is elected similar to a parliament from other countries. Country-wide votes for parties, with proportional representation. It would balance out the regionality of the House. The Supreme Court justices serve
