Simply because the average reader of *Hacker News* knows more about the tech industry than the average user of social media platforms.

Ok plausible theory. Can you prove it?

Because they want to see it, and then the algorithm feeds them more, intensifying their beliefs.

You like commuting in your car in rush hour? Drive your car for fun on the weekend. Walk to meet friends at a cafe.

I think it's not too hard to define. On this forum, I know when I post a comment, it will appear where I expect it. You will see it if you look. There's no AI in the middle of us deciding whether my reply is worthy, or prioritizin

Which is why we need to ban the use of such black-box algorithms for social media.

What we as a society should do (in my view): 1. Break up Facebook into separate companies to reduce its power. Antitrust laws may have to change. 2. Ban communication technologies which the behavior is a black-box to the user. It should alw

If you want to get out of the house, walk or ride a bike somewhere (park, coffee shop, etc.). There's no debate to be had: we need to stop driving cars so much, or you might need something like a stillsuit, Arrakis2021.

Usual comments about whether people prefer WFH or not. It doesn't matter. We need to stop driving cars so much, and most American cities have lousy transit.

As I understand it, the footnote about confidentiality does not supersede state law that employees may discuss their mistreatment publicly.

I had to look up what kiwi farms is -- a site used to harass people. Saying she belongs there seriously undermines your credibility. And what's a "classic cow"? Is that just a pejorative for some type of woman?

You're reaching. The general public doesn't have access to Apple's company calendar, so it's not doxxing. If some other employee looked up the slot and leaked a name, then that would be doxxing on the part of the other e

Given that I don’t see news about WWII bombs exploding in European cities recently, I suspect industrial pollution which emits VOCs, and severely contaminates the soil and groundwater, is a greater health risk.

She redacted the name so it isn’t doxxing.

Though comprised of many good people, HR is just the de facto surveillance apparatus of management. This has been shown to be the case many times over.

Sure, you can have a for-pay open source app, but if it's a consumer product (as opposed to, say, some B2B thing with special licensing), then it isn't going anywhere as a business. Many people will just download the code and comp

Never heard of Cinnamon, but if it copies Windows, then that's a shame too.

Good idea. Not inline with their extreme stance of calling other OSes, and presumably closed-source, unethical though. "The thoughtful, capable, and ethical replacement for Windows and macOS" It's a bit insulting, really.

If a mostly empty store is good for the user, then yes. Definitely a store free of many advanced apps with valuable IP.

Yep. Combine that with must-be-open-source, and their platform is practically hostile to the average developer who needs to earn a living.

Right, a feature which will be very limiting for their store as a business.

I installed it at one point. There were so many things they just happened to do the same way as macOS for UX (not the windows way), it just didn't seem very original. I see in V6 they've copied the light/dark mode of macOS an
