Being born with privilege is not a choice, and so you are right people should not be shamed for that. The problem is something else. Details here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35919637

There are at least two big points for people to care about. The money did come from something unethical--his family was enriched by segregation; racism; apartheid. That emerald money is dirty and is likely a key reason why Elon would deny

This is certainly the image he would love people to have: a humble immigrant from the poor South Africa, hustling his way into the American dream. The reality is that he is from a wealthy, well-connected, post-apartheid white family. They f

if you have a large portion of the population running these dishes, it's game over. Sadly this is wishful and overly optimistic thinking. The Tiananmen Square protesters thought similarly. Dictators will massacre their own peop

This comment is vague but it sounds like you're downplaying the seriousness of funding sources. This isn't a paranoid conspiracy or dramatic judgement. Companies really do pay for particular research results that benefit them. Thi

Their own website renders the Angular "template" as a string with no syntax highlighting. The framework is extremely overengineered requiring multiple files for "hello world" It introduces a lot of unnecessary complexity

You're right their Apache licenses are different: https://github.com/ofek/csi-gcs/blob/master/LICENSE-APACHE https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/gcs-fuse-csi-driver/b...

You seem to be interpreting a license as a legal formality that shouldn't be taken so literally. It is a form of very explicit and literal communication. Unfortunately you sent an unambiguous message to the world inviting them to do th

I don't mean to be rude but yeah, this is exactly what AGPL was intended to combat. It's a lesson learned for these developers, and Google did nothing wrong or even unethical imo. A lot of people treat licensing emotionally (e.g.

Oh right this is only true for irrational and transcendental numbers
104.
by warent 3y ago
My understanding is that this is true because there are infinite decimals between every decimal, infinitely. For example, there is infinity between 0.1 and 0.2, and infinity between 0.1 and 0.11, etc. i.e. infinite sets of infinity rather t

by warent 3y ago
In my experience with children, one of the easiest-to-grasp concepts of infinity is provided by the transfinite ordinals, since it can be viewed as a continuation of the usual counting manner of children, but proceeding into the transf

I shouldn't need to be a detective to understand the point of a website lol, unless that is the point. It was completely non obvious to me as well.

Do you have an example of AI false advertising?

by warent 3y ago
The very first sentence of their comment is an appeal to the article. They're addressing the article and using HN comments as evidence to reinforce their perception of it. "Stop saying how simple things are in our docs" &quot

Agree wholeheartedly. Most people are comfortable making incremental improvements in all our tools and comforts in life, so why should communication (the greatest tool of all!) be any different? We can make a knife with a better handle or k

I don't. It's fine making a personal choice to not use AI, but to go on to just openly insult anyone who uses AI is absurd and too far. Everyone is allowed their choices and we should respect that. The doom-whispering is not charm

I offered some reasons why you might be wrong for the sake of discussion. Even without my reasons, "you are wrong" suffices because the onus is on you to provide proof of an assertion, otherwise it's false by default. Providi

This seems unnecessarily passive aggressive. Everyone makes mistakes or bugs, intern or not. It makes no sense to get this salty about basic human error. Also there's nothing wrong with implementing minor UX enhancements. If anything r

Isn't it so that the "point of Christianity" depends entirely on historical context and who you're speaking to, which has continuously changed over thousands of years? It seems like it isn't an objective science as
