We need to fight for the Right to Repair to be in legislation for ALL products! If we buy a product, we should have full access to all software and have the ability to fix it!

The Guardian should not be cited or used much on HN due to its extreme and obvious bias.

Henry Ford had the best insight into charity: real charity is work you do yourself or money you give directly to people affected or by doing work that makes the whole world better. Fake charity is giving it to orgs that never want to actual

Few people are shown the enormous downsides of too much government regulation. It's hard to see on your own. Every industry uses special interest lobbying (like the taxi industry did trying to block ride sharing) and usually gets laws

We can't move anywhere because we can't afford to. When 500,000 H1-B visas are brought into the USA to do entry level accounting and programming jobs, we have far less negotiating leverage to work remotely or make higher pay. Supp

This is the true existential threat. You probably will lose your life to AI first, but you ultimately will lose your life. Read "Superintelligence".

H1-B could be kept, but make the salary for it at least $500k to avoid people abusing it for cheap labor like bringing in cashiers on it at $26k.

So New York now wants to regulate and control what people do in Texas and Florida? This is an insane law, hopefully the Supreme Court strikes it down for violating the interstate trade clause.

Seems like a very bad idea. An 80 lb drone falling from the sky could kill a person. Beyond that, it would get people used to drones around all the time... Then when weaponized drones come, even more people will die https://yout

I am a tech founder who is a strong Elon and Vivek supporter... But I have to disagree with Elon and Vivek here. We already have special visas for really high IQ and talent individuals called O-1. H1- Bs are used to higher lower cost line w

Another popular article right now from the NYTimes is about how government is giving massive tax breaks to feed the huge boom in data centers... data centers that will be one day converted to kill humans either as part of these slaughterbot

Diesel is far more efficient than electric for trucks, look up the weight of the batteries and run time you can get on electric vs diesel trucks. Crazy.

The biggest problem is the gigantic list of rules government has created called "Code" that means you can only build homes in one, very expensive, way. This is the result of giving too much power to government bureaucrats and lett

Why would anyone invest in a dictatorship where your company can be destroyed and all of your funds taken on the whim of a bureaucrat?

I am a farmer in Central Washington, as well as founder of a web design agency. Why in the world are states and counties giving the richest companies on the planet tax breaks? Why don't they give these tax breaks to those who need them

https://youtu.be/PDDaQxKSO3w?si=3gOqqznoIr9CtKgB How to build your own fallout shelter cheap. Parent article is wrong... You need a foot of of dirt to reduce radiation, 20 feet of air or wooden walls does nothing.

Once people open the door to using race based discrimination as a tool, they often find it is used in ways they find reprehensible. No one alive today is responsible for the harms of our ancestors, and all of us have had ancestors who were

I am native American (Choctaw) myself and it is all about race. Every tribe only allows those of provably pure blood to join.

No group in America should have a legalized advantage over others solely based on race.

Exactly right... hard to overcome the lobbying and propaganda power of billions of dollars in gambling profits.

People have been fooled into thinking their hobbies should override billions of years of evolution... if you behave as your body is hard wired to behave, you will be happier.

It is stunning to me that gambling is legal. It preys upon people who are vulnerable to gambling addiction, most other people are not interested. Laws need to change so that in America, even tribes are not allowed to promote this family and

It's possible it could have been a trucker with a bad tire throwing extra rocks for awhile, damaging windshields, who then left the area. I'd say that is more probable than collective delusion.

Fantastic article, but as a monogamous married father of 4, I think the author misses the fundamental point of all relationships... And the point of life itself: Reproduction. The primary drive of every living creature from whales to amoeba
