Really? Who doesn't want more money? Also, you're not necessarily working that much harder to make a million instead of 500k. Thousands of people who read headline news are making 500k a year in the software industry. The year I m

A less effective vaccine pretty directly leads to higher death rates. I read in other news articles they didn't aggressively vaccinate older people like we did. Apparently a similar thing has happened in Hong Kong.

Wait, that's a weird list: "greedy corporations, billionaires and leftists" will push their own views and morals? Why do you conflate those things? In the US, leftists might want crazy things like universal health care. I do

What's going to happen in Taiwan as China gets ever closing to some kind of direct attack. No, we won't land on Chinese land to help them. There's always the point that it is hard to make an amphibious attack on Taiwan. Event

That google thing is not really a secret. It was widely discussed inside google too. Maybe it came out of Edward Snowden.

Just like SMS access to 'mfa' your bank account also provides an attack vector if they steal your number, stupid (aka all find-able) security questions don't help protect, they are another attack vector. I thought everyone pu

You'd have to be forking it once a week, because there is so much stealing going on. We'd probably end up with a weekly split. Imagine how crazy that is. And of course people would make false stealing claims. Maybe you are on vaca

I doubt the public is aware of the very large number of different electronic requests for their information, and how many can be faked, from dmca takedowns to these fake emergency data requests to requests from the feds for your email etc i

China's threats and pressure against Taiwan and their likely eventual attack need to be stopped and countered whenever it happens. It's so very similar to Russia's treatment of Ukraine.

Sorry, I don't agree with the notion that the pandemic was somehow about 'freedom reductions' or control. The us has had many pandemics like all other countries where millions of people have died. During previous ones in the

This describes my employers too. I work with people in 3-4 different offices on a daily basis. My boss is in another state. Yet the engineering leadership is pushing us to come back to the office. I don't want to waste time and money d

You should state this to your leadership. It may ring hollow, you might have to do it in a way that some thin-skinned leader doesn't see it as criticism but they need that feedback. I'm facing this at my company.

These ZEDES seem bad. But what do you want hacker news to do? It seems like illegal real estate development and stealing of people's land, but that is different than narco traffickers taking over your government. Can you give more info

mole, a bad action is still a bad action. I'm in the us and I can admit that bombing endless wedding parties in Afghanistan in an attempt to kill terrorist is wrong. That doesn't excuse russia from bombing hospitals in Ukraine.

qiskit, it's silly to compare the situation in russia with the democratic world and see some equivalency. Russia kills the opponents of the leaders, they actively subvert opponents in the sense of killing them with poison, put them in

China excels in certain categories, and protecting the rich and connected is one of those. If you get too rich and powerful independent of the government maybe you can go back to being in trouble too.

There are two different categories of nations, those in the EU or NATO and everyone else (the EU has similar mutual defense claims as NATO I recently learned, but the US isn't in the EU pact afakt). If you aren't in nato, then unl

There was due process. My understanding was because of the 1 week state of emergency they were explicitly allowed to do this. There were court orders ahead of time.

Downplaying a potential source is a crime? That's silly, that's an over-reaction. You might disagree, but calling it a crime?

Lab leaks might be able to be avoided, it was human fault, also people really want to blame China so it's kind of wish fullfillment.

That would be even better. Google search email and docs are almost public utilities at this point. But at least, we need to regulate on Google shuts down accounts, because it can really screw people's lives and companies. That reminds
