Its shit that this person had to deal with continuous racism It's awesome that she recognizes her privilege and was willing/able to post about her experiences, because they are widely shared Its unfortunately unsurprising as the U

I can see how you might think that, but no. Have lived in LA, Santa Cruz, SJ, SF, DC, New York and PA. SF is the only city where I have had my car broken into and all of my things stolen. Told the police I found literally at the Starbucks t

The majority of the parent comment is focused on situations where you look to change someone's thinking in an expansive way. New ideas, new philosophies, new ways of thinking... We could push the boundaries of this and say I am trying

Came to post this ^ Only 30 years ago, the pendulum was fully swung in the direction of formula. Having gone through the pregnancy gauntlet recently I've found - There are many studies posited but no one ever talks about the 'n&#x

Yes, they and others in fact have changed their mind as the accessibility of this service has grown and can be expected to be used by someone easily for longer durations than before

That is inherently paternalistic and sounds reminiscent of colonial attitudes. The claim is that we're protecting the listener from the impact of their own decisions on their own life . If you believe you can change an adult's mi

Certainly you jest... If we apply this kind of belief to corporations/government/etc. we get the things that most folks at HN spend their non-tech comments complaining about. Entrenched power, inability to pursue effectiveness bec

Ah Ithaca is so tremendously close to my heart. It is also a liberal college town with all of the externalization that can invoke. You only need to head to Oswego, or Genesee county generally to find a lot of upstate NY conservatism, often

Incredibly solid counter. Thanks for linking me/us - interesting reading.

Haha, yes ofc. It was a tremendously minor part of the article seemingly and yet made it to the headline

I did, thanks. Since I missed that sentence it seemed odd compared to hackers out of Romania or anywhere else.

Is their executive leadership that bad if they're gonna wriggle out of a multimillion dollar fine? Seems like another case of "too hard to unravel" and "not even gonna matter after it exits the headlines"

I'm not sure I understand the importance of these hackers being Indian as opposed as from any other region?

Wouldnt some of this disease, if not all of it, be due to their introduction to european americans and in some cases, early versions of biological warfare like smallpox blankets?

Sure and in seven years maybe you will get <$100 and innumerable other bad acts and actors will continue. This flow has been so detoothed its hardly an inconvenience for F500s in most cases

It's because we used to regulate against the ability to sell something which didn't do the main task it purported to do. Was that not the entire point of the BBB? Here's one marketer's belief about its value in 2022: &q

Immigration is incredibly key to this. There are a number of nations where young people outstrip elderly populations and allowing the flow of people and labor is crucial, as is their enablement/assimilation/integration so that the

Who is under whose thumb here? Like most things, its a bit of a two way street. From an intelligence perspective, I agree w huntergatherer that everyone's not under active surveillance. IMO the problem is: - once you are its far cheape

while these are interesting points, both posts are strongly euro-centric. Religion was one of the stronger organizing forces of the old world and so good and bad both have roots in it. It was more stable than the leadership of kings/qu

This is my frustration. How is it when I fuck up at work, I get fired but when these definitely reversible decisions are made and allowed to run their course for years we dont see a mass exodus at the SVP level?

It just doesn't seem to harm the corporation enough. The requests for subsidies, the limitations of available support that put the public at risk should be negatively impacting leadership of these organizations drastically.

Love this point. So true, and so accurate. That being said they are also highly disparate with a variety of motivations and are incredibly hard to whip (using this the way its used in congress) into directions that are nuanced. Things like

Completely. So much of this framing however is being pushed/forced/rulings or judgement driven decisions. You get the sense that TikTok is like "cool, yeah, we'll add that to our roadmap"

I would strongly disagree It is not that government = bad. It is that government having data which allows for influence of people == destruction of democracy as the government is supposed to reflect the will of people rather than the other

While most people on HN would agree that they would like more regulation of their data on FB and Google, these are largely still separate actors from the US government. You can even indicate that something like Cambridge Analytica is starti

I suppose thats fair and a good note. Don't we think that time is limited though? I have a white collar job and find myself relying of premade food. I can't imagine if I had two jobs or two jobs and kids
