There is a difference between “can” and “should”. Twitter has every legal right to do what they did, but I feel that the decisions they (and other social media companies) are making are extremely dangerous and misguided.

Paper ballots help, but it’s still not a properly secure system.

Fox has been around for quite a while, and it was never “QAnon level crazy”. Fox was here since the Bush era, and I regularly had political debates and discussions with people I disagreed with back then. Sure, I could have never turned a Re

We can’t talk to them on Parler. It’s just an echo chamber. We’ve killed free discourse between opposite political ideologies.

Do you remember 2000 and the Diebold controversy? We had an Diebold engineer testifying on record about the deficiencies of these systems. I know it’s been 20 years, but I do think we need to take the integrity of our elections more serious

That’s exactly the problem. They can’t talk to you and you can’t talk to them. You don’t get to tell them why they’re wrong or work to find common ground anymore. Their ideas are allowed to fester in their protected bubble. This is extremel

If I didn’t want to join the union, would I face consequences?

I personally am very happy with my job, and when I raise any kind of grievance it is listened to. If I were unhappy, I’d go to another company. So I just don’t see what I’d get out of it personally.

Public unions are a bad idea in general. The citizens collectively employ the government, and that government shouldn’t have a right to organize against the people whom it serves. So in my opinion, these two examples of toxic public unions

Absolutely creepy. I think US tech companies are in a unique position to stop this, if only we’d stop willingly following the CCP’s every whim and rule.

Weird that my comment was downvoted, I assumed this was public knowledge. https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/nsa-snooping/senate-vote-m... EFF supported this initiative. It wasn’t “reform” at all; courts had alread

If we give in to every demand of the Chinese government, things continue as they are. Those 1.4 billion people, hopefully, would demand the products being offered and policies would be (slowly) forced to change.

If we’re forced back into the office, myself and many of my coworkers I’ve talked to might find another company. I think companies will experience significant turnover if they roll back remote work.

It won’t stop until US tech companies stop giving into this shit.

I lost all respect for the EFF after they supported the USA FREEDOM Act reauthorization of PATRIOT surveillance.

The poster you’re replying to had a valid point about the meaning of this data—it’s not some trope or judgement. Calculating someone’s net worth in this way is not considering these things on which money is being spent. In the most non-judg

What is this random website and why does it want me to subscribe to read it? I wish we had a no paywalls rule on HN.

Why does it seem like everyone on HN but me has a New York Times account? I have moral issues with getting one.

Thanks, I appreciate your perspective and I agree with a lot of it. I absolutely try to be kind to people. There is though, unfortunately, a vocal minority of people who really exact judgement when the wrong words are used, and they’re usua

Not sure about the economist, but I’m not a fan of the NYT model. I find some click-baitey feeling stuff there too. I get so frustrated every time someone links a NYT article on HN that gets paywalled, and I either decide it’s not worth rea

I don’t think regulations are the answer, personally. We need to think of better revenue models for journalists that incentivize trust. That’s on us, the consumers of media, to demand it and be willing to pay for it, and for the market to p

Absolutely, but for systems like this, there should be clean separation between business rules and core application logic. Filters, hooks, rules engines, etc. I very much realize “easier said than done” but the complacency with regard to ke

I realize this is a naive perspective, but rather than try to “translate millions of lines of COBOL to Java”, why not just build a new system from the ground up, based on requirements and first principals? The function of these systems seem

I guess it depends where each person falls on the “freedom vs safety” spectrum. I’m strongly on the “freedom” side. But I feel it’s a perspective based in some objectivity, as it’s generally a lot easier for one to protect themselves than t
