“They go out of business”… is that way to say they rebrand themselves and blend in with the crowd? As that seems highly likely with a theoretically crowded but not regulated airline market.

Nah, many people willfully and gleefully put blinders on when presented a thin veneer of a statement if it supports what they want to be true. As you point out, Elon’s stats don’t even pass a cursory snuff test in regards to what he’s tryin

So you’re clarifying that for 0.1% of HN the legality is not an issue as if those in war zones were wondering?

Wouldn’t intentional interference be very illegal to do at random? Sure, hard to get caught but isn’t it illegal?

SAR groups are often unpaid volunteers and at a minimum will be eating some of their weekend off to respond… unless those loggers are unpaid prison labor what you say is false.

Yo there’s literally articles regularly published on the names and pay of all local city employees in my city with specific call outs to the top paid ones. While it seems you are implying that is not cool, it’s actually unremarkable and com

This hacker news post is refreshing but unexpected. When I’ve one googled reviews of one drive, i’ve usually found the top results are threads of IT folks raving about how great one drive is compared to shared drives. I have always been puz

Why is a cashier testing money for cocaine residue? What country is requiring gimmicky pointless stuff like that?

lol no, as an American it’s always made me think that they weren’t utterly incompetent over there. With how it looks like TikTok might be reinstate here, it’s unclear I can say the same about us. Also, American social media companies and al

Personally I think Twitter is a great example of why tik tok should be banned. It’s a clear example of how leadership can skew the algorithm to try to influence things. Now, in twitters case they are wildly obvious about it and everyone is

Is tik tok even banned in your country? Since your perspective is choosing between two foreign powers controlling social media, sounds like an entirely different thing than in the US.

I find this line of argument particularly uncompelling and offensive - it’s like saying the arresting of a Soviet spy per a valid warrant by the courts is against the constitutionally rights and is also hypocritical given how the US protest

By your reasoning, I have a right to hear the speech on instagram and X, correct? Well tough cookies for me, meta and X are bith restricting my freedom of assembly. Will you go to bat for me? They’ve imposed arbitrary restrictions on my acc

Of course the users don’t want it. Asking a fanbase if the thing they are a fan of should be banned and ignoring all other groups doesn’t make much sense. Nothing would be banned.

Well FB is American. Even though I and many people agree FB is also a problem, I think it’s pretty clear why those in Washington are more okay with an American company that they have some power over and also should ostensibly care for Ameri

but your 2. implies China has control rather than the US. Isn’t that what the government has been saying?

They also allow the scammiest ads for products that are 100% obvious frauds - pure distilled snake oil. It really brings meta’s image to the dirt. They’re like an online super market tabloid these days.

Not true about the pie not growing. The pie did grow, so it’s a benefit to society. It just didn’t grow enough that giving the employees a larger slice didn’t slightly shrink the owner’s pie. However, The owners pie shrunk less than it woul

California and in particular SF, there’s been substantial reporting on police inaction. It’s been improving but for a while there were regular stories or police watching people do felonies and not bothering to do a single thing.

“ How do you sleep at night knowing that you attack people based on which job they do to provide for their family” If a line of reasoning can equally justify all the people who pushed opioids onto Americans, then it’s not a good one.

What’s your companies general location? Do you have an office where tech talent wants to work? Location is an important part of a competitive employment offer. And I highly doubt linear algebra is a day to day requirement for a typical work

Likewise breakfast yogurt could be either yoplait “yogurt” or plain unsweetened actual yogurt, or anything in between. One is basically gelatinized sugar and the other is pretty healthy. If one’s classification doesn’t easily distinguish th

Since the company the article is about is a new fintech, I’d say users should be comparing to online banks and not the old guard retail banks. I.e. Marcus, Amex, citizen access, etc. note those are tied to very reputable businesses too. The
