Netscape was payware in the beginning? Not sure how that's non-existent? Even after they were forced to go free by Microsoft, they were selling servers which are the compliment of browsers.

If you're going to look for counter-evidence it's important first to accept just how blatant and widespread lying about climate is. Academics - assisted by the media - are willing to lie continuously, brazenly and effectively. The

They knew all about CO2 and its warming yes, but Schneider calculated that the effect was offset by other pollutants being put into the atmosphere. He had to because, as the NY Times article states clearly, at that time thermometer records

I recall that it wasn't seen that way when Microsoft used Windows revenues to push IE and crush Netscape. It was called product tying back then. You don't hear much about it anymore.

Easy to criticize but to be consistent you'd also have to consider non-VC-backed products dumped at below price by regular companies too, and that would get uncomfortable real fast: - Chrome - VS Code - LetsEncrypt - Everything open so

Interesting perspective, thank you for that, but the issue is not merely driving bond rates to zero. The money created by central banks also flows into VC funds and the stock markets via various indirect paths and from there into the startu

You're both right. There were some discussions that got through, but also a lot of suppression, e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23660413 in which the top comment is asking why the story is flagged/dead.

It'd be fair to say that the left of 2023 has a different focus to the left of 1886.

The same thing everyone else means when they say that. There was a "woke doesn't mean anything" argument just recently as part of another AI discussion, can't be bothered with that one again, go read: https://

This is what happens when extreme rhetoric about hypothetical risks gets too widespread and isn't pushed back on strongly enough. The guy's model is just a regular LLM, except with the woke hatred and bigotry removed. The base LLM

General housing pressure certainly isn't a unique phenomenon, just the obsession with ownership. But many other countries have managed immigration levels better and don't experience the same level of pressure on the housing market

Hate to break it to you but it wasn't ever considered outrageous by anyone except a tiny minority of extremely loud geeks who knew how to use the right forums and right rhetoric to have disproportionate impact on other fellow geeks.

The vast, vast majority of people simply do not care about this type of privacy (from absolute strangers with no details about their personal lives). It's a nerd canard that this type of data sharing matters. Android, iOS, Windows, mac

One of the top complaints about Go is that it over-indexes on the quirky way Google does things, so collecting telemetry only from themselves would seem to have the same problem. It is reasonable to want an unbiased sample of the userbase.

The climate crisis isn't true, these panics never are. Look at the data. If there was a crisis people would be dying but deaths from weather are massively down over the last 100 years. You can't actually perceive climate change wi

You can't ringfence pension payments if by ringfence you mean just store them in a savings account. Inflation would destroy the saved money completely, so the funds have to be invested. In turn those investments have to yield enough to

It's a slightly bizarre and under-discussed aspect of British culture. There's a widespread cultural belief that you have to own a house and "get on the property ladder" before you start a family or really consider yours

In some countries divorce only leads to splitting assets acquired since marriage, not all assets. It's a lot more rational to do it then.

You realize the house price obsession is rather uniquely British, right? It's a bit of a national stereotype to people outside the UK. In many countries it's considered normal to rent, including rich countries. https://

That's clearly ideological brainwashing and you should take it up with the head teacher. It's not only factual nonsense to believe what your son is saying, but also dangerous. You definitely don't want him to be added to the
