So called communist societies are the most unequal in the world. Let's not pretend that communism is anything but an authoritarian state ran by a few people for their own profit and power. A few people own everything and everyone else

Addiction isn't caused by heroin or oxy or any other drug by itself. It's caused by people having hard, unfulfilled lives in a society that doesn't care about and actively tries to hurt them. A society that doesn't care,

People pay for an awful product. What incentive do they have to improve? None. It's not just aws. All Amazon products are this way. Two day shipping comes a week later if it comes at all. Products are cheap knockoffs that break and whe

If submarines are intelligent then cars and bikes must be intelligent also since they operate on similar principles. If a bike is intelligent, then pogo sticks are intelligent too. I suppose at that point, anything can be intelligent. What

Good. There is no excuse for treating citizens this way. None. Not 9/11. Not the Boston bombings. Not anything else. They are citizens. If the government thinks they were criminals it should indict and put them on trial. Otherwise leav

Playing go or chess or any other game isn't intelligence. The computer isn't intelligent. It's programmed for one task and one task only. That's great programming and use of statistics etc. but that's not intelligen

I think Congress needs to pass legislation banning such an insane, stupid idea. And we should stop calling it "artificial intelligence," as if some software is actually intelligent comparable to humans. This is just software and a

"Designing" the database by creating objects first and exporting create statements is ignoring the responsibility to design the database completely, the database which is the foundation of almost all apps. It's irresponsible

Seriously. In the meantime, the rest of the world all uses WhatsApp. For group chat it's hard to beat. I use signal with family and some friends but getting people to switch is impossible. And allegedly it has group chat but it's

Having been a vegetarian for fifteen years, I simply don't see how it's possible to eat vegetarian healthily without cooking for yourself from scratch. Of course these burgers are not healthy especially compared to meat burgers wh

Traditional media (news) is also toxic. For the last few months I stopped consuming it and my level of happiness and life satisfaction has gone up tremendously. I don't consume social media at all unless you count hn. I highly recommen

What a horrible idea, privatizing USPS, especially if it's sold to Amazon. The stupidity is incredible. We're going to sell this to Amazon and leave it up to them to decide who gets and who doesn't get mail now? We're go

And that's how you make stealing legal. Perry is a thief, plain and simple, not to mention the many other derogatory terms that could describe this subhuman shitstain. He is the embodiment of the American idea of creating a problem whe

Addiction is much more than physical dependence. Providing methadone or medical grade heroin has been the only route that has helped keep this problem in check. Switzerland has had great success with it. Portugal has had great success with

Why would you enjoy the suffering of others? That is truly monstrous regardless of the form that suffering manifests in. It's frankly disgusting.

It's hard to motivate oneself to act knowing the act is futile. I was a vegetarian for a decade and a half. What did that achieve for climate change (or unrelated for animal welfare)? Nothing. Because it's almost irrelevant in the

Last poll I checked, universal healthcare is supported by over 70% of Americans. We want it. We don't have a democracy to get it. It's that simple. A country where the person who gets the most votes doesn't win is not a democ

If one doesn't want such "user hostile" hardware one shouldn't buy Apple products. They are legendary, especially lately in the last few years for such choices. Until a right to repair law is passed, there's nothing

I wish they'd call for directions. Instead they go to the wrong place, can't find the house, and return back. The next day, they do it again. And again. The managers said they have no control over it. That's not a delivery se

The only thing worse than Amazon delivery is FedEx. The idiots can't find a road that's almost three years old and constantly attempt to deliver packages to the other side of the city. It has led to numerous problems. Calling does

Almost all their tech products are garbage. How cool can the internal tech stack be? They can't even produce decent tech products that don't require a giant team of AWS experts and constant tech support to work. And then there&#x2

Most companies have similar polices for much milder infractions. Amazon kicks out customers all the time based on random algorithms. So does Google. And Apple. At least cloudflare clearly has human review and even writes a long blog post to
