One your comment on a "strong domestic arts industry", I would recommend this video. "The Curious Story of China's Indie Gaming Scene" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VrTZ_UeUxM

This book was life changing for me. I also watched '12 Angry Men' around the same time as I read the book. I sometimes joke that these should be required reading or watching before someone is allowed to post an internet comment.

I'd rather have JC Denton usher in the new dark age than allow this raving lunatic control more of our lives.

I’m Indian, settled in Malaysia and a very strong supporter of China. Lived or been to several countries in East Asia or Oceania. Strongly leftist and socialist. So it is unlikely that I have an American perspective. And no, I disagree that

I would argue that I am the only one commenting in good faith here. To me, the down-votes are evidence of the same.

No these countries do not conduct terrorist activities or war crimes on foreign soil like the US does. Generally the first who come to mind are the ones who treat the whole world badly, in addition to their own people.

Moment I read the words "mistreated in their countries", first country which came to mind was USA.

Down-voted. Twitter has built a platform which has allowed me, a nobody, to connect with people who are famous or experts in their field and directly interact with them. Earlier efforts to use e-mail had 0 success as most likely my mails wo

I was just trying to point out that if she considers this as trying to "malign her", then she will have to prepare for much worse attacks later for doing the right thing.

If that's the case then GPL code should not have been used in the training set. Open AI should have learned to run away when they saw it. The GPL is purposely designed to protect user freedom (it does not care about any special develop

Many good points in the discussion below. However, when one of Stallman’s “crimes” was comparing US laws against that of Sudan (as mentioned in the open letter), I could not help but feel that people are looking for an opportunity to take h

Earlier this year when Richard Stallman was re-instated to the Board of the FSF, there were a lot of tweets expressing dismay. To one of them, I replied that I personally don't think he has done anything wrong at all - and linked to a

I looked - could not find any examples remotely comparable to those mentioned in the article.

Strongly agree. The only hope is one day there will be a group of strong nations who will declare that they are not going to respect US sanctions.

One of my ideas over the last decade has been to create a website of resources to demonstrate to the world that USA should be an example of a country no one else should aspire to be. Unfortunately, I never got the time or patience to create

Strongly agree with you and parent. Unfortunately, lot of Windows settings are now available by default only using a "modern" UI whereas the old style was fast, consistent and extremely user-friendly.

I can give you one to illustrate the point I am trying to make. When I first started working in 2005, we used to use Excel 2003. My first company gave me a modest desktop with 512MB RAM and old processor. Right clicking on a cell to format

I was surprised by the cheerleading in HN when Graeber’s work was published because it made no sense to me. I personally think that 70% of people who work in any company in which Paul Graham has invested are doing bullshit jobs - but surely

Personal story - I was the person who used to get angry and outraged whenever these stories of harassment were published, taking a stance which was pro the supposed victim. Independently, I used to be a huge fan of Stallman and read a lot o
