If I’m considering making a tool for a particular community and they tell me they’re not interested in it, that’s more than just helpful for me to know.

For every high profile failure like W, there are likely numerous other unqualified morons anointed by these institutions as ‘leaders’ running companies and doing overall much more damage. The Ivies are ripe to be burned to the ground.

I’d laugh and say ‘seriously’? And if she was really serious I’d say I don’t believe in any of that. My MIL is into this nonsense - she alone and broke and I think a great example of where crazy beliefs like this lead if you hold them long

If you didn’t share their political biases and don’t like government interference, the name has a very bad reputation.

It was always implementing proprietary stuff and breaking w3c standards following their predatory business model. It only gained traction because it was bundled with windows and MS lost that case in federal court. Maybe a MS dev believes

I was in high school in the early 90s and no young people I knew were into this. Our boomer ex-hippie parents were into it and we made fun of it hard.

Not sure who we is, but I have 4 kids and live paycheck to paycheck and nobody helps me or my kids. We can’t spare what we don’t have.

This isn't true - I've been hiring programmers for many years and Meta/FB are definitely on my blacklist. I consider the damage they've already done far worse than Enron and they're not finished yet.

Yes, but as it’s a finite resource, it’s also taking a spot of someone deserving on merit. Schools will have learn to operate without free money.

Dodging regulation, aka cheating, disqualifies a party from a competition. And today we have rideshare drivers refusing to drive into bad neighborhoods just like cabbies did before regulation - consumers are worse off in that example and t

Can’t those platforms de monetize or hide your content or even ban you according to whatever criteria suits them? It’s great until it’s not. Shaky foundation.

Rich millennials (hacker news core demo) will strongly disagree with this I imagine and justify why this doesn’t apply to them. Boomers and millennials have much in common when it comes to discarding wisdom of the past.

Most people don’t stay at a job long enough for this to make sense anymore. You invest all this time in someone and they have to leave to get a raise.

Lived in Edgewater from 2000-2010. It was rough. They found a body in the dumpster right across the street from my condo. I would never live there with kids. Austin was rough too. If you stopped at lights, your car would have a mob of

Could be roids. When I used to powerlift that stuff was all too common. When I was kid lifting with the grownups they sold GHB next to the protein bars.

Sure, it’s merely a big coincidence the court made a relevant ruling. FDA was bought a long time ago by pharma and hasn’t prioritized citizens since.

If their flagship had actually been a steam beer, I'd be sad, but as it was just a decent lager there are a billion replacements.

Do you enjoy mixing with people with views opposed to yours or does that upset you?

You mean places where the truth can be discussed. COVID vaccine never prevented infection. The 'misinformation' aka lie that it did was promoted on the previous platform.

Finance has totally captured the government, it's been a long time. Neither party is looking out for citizens, they're looking out for these banks. As long as we keep supporting these parties, this only gets worse.

You log into LinkedIn every week or two to check messages there? I'd call that pretty solid engagement. If I were a product person there, I'd be happy to have a user like you. I log in every few years when I really have to for

Speak for yourself. I'm not used to any actors taking great pride in details no layman would notice. I 100% expect a James Bond actor to have no clue what watch they asked him to wear and same for Keaneau Reeves and a belt.

Status/bragging. Same reason people who rent or live in a tiny house in CA drive BMWs.

Agreed, and also I think most people interested in reading about sports have not been going to the NYT for that particularly because they only use it as a backdrop for their stories, which are primarily about some other topic.

Unless you were 'on the team', it was a bleak place where authoritarians promoted their lies using what power they had to silence dissenters. COVID vaccine never prevented infection, but saying this would get you banned. Discussi

In what universe does someone selling a book I wrote not deprive me of those same sales? How about I sell my book if I choose to and you decide whether to sell yours.

Temporary problem that will work itself out with time once the last creators die. After one generation under this system, nobody will create anything that isn't useless free garbage.

Also helps to drop standards like SAT/ACT. If you don't need grades or money to get into school, well, that includes just about everyone.

In this world, the only authors would be people independently wealthy who don't need an income.
