No, but it's kind of pathetic that the elites in America hallowed out our manufacturing capabilities and condemning tens of millions to abject poverty so their shares can be worth slightly more as a sign of societal sickness.

Until you get fascism or welfare reforms, hopefully you aren't on the chopping block by then.

Please remember that this is the same company that couldn't figure out how to authorize 3rd party middleware and had, with what should be a company ending, critical vulnerability . Oh and the owner likes to proudly remind people about

Yeah, it's always funny to see how MMT is a perfectly acceptable way to create tax cuts and enable corporate welfare but if you suddenly want universal medicare or childcare suddenly we care about budgets or MMT is suddenly impractical

Seriously, why help an industry that we all know doesn't care and will still scrap your site regardless? The least they can do it put in some minimal effort without expecting everyone to bend over for them.

They aren't drowning in debt because of supplies, they're drowning in debt because both the federal + state governments have stopped investing in education since the GFC in 2008. That plus a bloated admin body that cares about its

Nerfed carrying a lot of water here, neglecting the fact that big tech is successfully using the US federal government to threaten the whole of EU if they are slightly mean to Zuckerberg + friends.

Paper provides an actual utility that people want and serves a real human need. Hyper scale data centers only exist to make Garfield porn and help scammers.

I really hope they increase taxes and stop letting VC firms gamble with pension funds. These people shouldn't have their current jobs already, and you're telling me they're also dictating how technology is being shaped in the

Yes it's a widely known fact that prior to cars blind people only stayed in a single room for their entire lives. It was only due to the motorized auto carriage could blind people finally ride around and experience the world! Pretty co

Ordinary people absolutely hate AI and AI products. There is a reason why all these LLM providers are absolutely failing at capturing consumers. They would rather force both federal and state governments to regulate themselves as the only p

Yes! Only certain people are allowed to practice their first amendment rights. Separate but equal is a great way to run society!

For a meeting scheduler site? I feel like you're overestimating the capabilities of something that is akin to college graduate project. This company does not seem healthy at all: https://getlatka.com/companies/calc

The onus is on the companies to make this clear, if they aren't willing to tell users the dangers of using their own tools that kinda tells you everything you need to know (they don't care about their customers, only $$$). Be upse

You sound extremely privileged and frankly out of touch (not uncommon with the HN demographic). Do you think working families in NYC don't deserve the same monetary relief that massive corporations get with their own welfare programs?

Why should I pay, why can't we tax big tech and VC firms so the public can fund this stuff instead? They have all the money, they have all the power; why can't we take it away from them? The world of software would be a vastly bet

This administration has killed dozens of solar + wind projects. Don't get your hopes up, the US is run by people that only want to profit off of natural gas and nothing else matters.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I'll have to look at data star again, I understand HTMX fits in a similar role (not reactive tho) but at the moment I've just been doing basic go templates for my CRUD like stuff. Do appreciate the

No, because blue collar immigrants aren't working for cartels that hold deeply undemocratic views.

I mean we aren't doing it because capitalists decided they would rather move the factories outside of the country because they don't care about workers. Americans are absolutely willing to work in factors, but capitalists want cha

Those mean spirited people are actually capitalists and they've been chasing the dream of perpetual labor since the 1800s.

Politicians would deeply care about a specialized highly paid workforce that was politically active, but what we have is mostly a do-nothing industry that has nearly 100% ceded to their corporate masters. I mean look at what the coal mining

We had a tech industry prior to H1Bs before the 90s. What we didn't have was Silicon Valley corporatism that doesn't value American labor nor American education. It's why SV is so gun-ho on charter schools and devaluing Ameri

Current brain dead level memes and political outrage is already doing a good job at manipulating people. Why do you need a machine that makes this process 1000x more costly?

No, AI doomerists are people cosplaying as religious fanatics. It's mostly sci-fi nonsense that ignores the real material realities that people are currently suffering due to LLMs (water shortages, energy spikes, cancer rates increases

Yeah but you can waste $10-50 having an LLM do that for you instead rather than using your engineering experience to do it. Think of the shareholder value!

Incentive of undemocratic groups is to build mini-empires yes, but if the business decisions were led by workers instead of a group of tyrants it'll most likely be a better decision. If we want lived examples of this, look at recorded

No one said corporations were smart or self preserving, they're just a money vein for the elites to suck on until they get swatted away.
