Did you go to k12? It's indoctrination, math, and reading.

Gosh I love Wittgenstein for this. I highly recommend suffering through both early and late Wittgenstein (only wrote 2 books and essentially invented one of the 3 branches of philosophy). Expect to only understand 10% of what he says, but t

The United States is religious against kings and genuinely thinks they have a holy mission of humans right, freedom, democracy, and liberalism. Obviously this doesn't always happen, but there's only an extremely small minority tha

The wild part is that both the United States and China will get the decryption. There's too much money and corruption in the world. Maybe local(European states) won't care as long as they can use it against their people in their f

Very European move. Politicians are quick to criticize when Russia does it, but I guess it's okay because it's Europe. They have magic cheese that can only be bought from one island in Greece........ I'm still mourning the pr

But did it do anything? I get fingerprinted anyway. I'm geolocated anyway. I'm a "deny all cookies" if it's an option, but I won't waste time on "customize". Reminds me of 9/11 security theater

I made a physical product and upon learning European regulations, I quickly decided I was going to spend 0 time designing it for Europe. If I made millions, sure, pay someone to figure it out. But I was not going to waste design time early

Seemingly around the world, physicians are often nepo babies. In the United States, our physicians are paid by taxes for grad school. The physicians decide the supply with an unelected private org ACGMe. It really shows that despite the cor

I'm afraid to comment because HN shadow bans when discussing international relations. The wild part is that I'm quite academic, Waltz, Mearsheimer, Morgenthau are on my wall. Okay let's get flagged for saying the uncomfortabl

I remember in 2018 they didn't have widgets, had like 3 different apps that had bugs, the swiping was slow after disabling animations, and everyday I was told I had to update. Great quality.

Wait, you didn't read the news articles that China is using United States social media astroturfing to undermine the United States on data centers? I thought people on HN kept up with this.

Yeah I'm sure you use 6 hours of battery life before you find a charger and aren't a loyalist to a corporation.

I wish I could understand how they created a cult like following despite having mid tier products. They somehow convinced people low power consumption on CPU mattered.

Yay a CPU in 2026! My YouTube will load 0.00001s faster!

I have 0 urgency buying something more expensive than a $150 refurbished i5 16gb ram laptop. Local AI isnt useful for agent stuff.

I wrote a list of things that makes us money, but I decided that I like having less competition. Now to see if I can delete my original post.

China? Not sure if Chinese propaganda got you or what. They did 100,000,000 forced abortions, killed tens of thousands of their own people and covered it up. The United States kills 4 of their own people and the news outlets go wild.

Given Apple's involvement in PRISM while running ads about privacy and security... All tracks.

Other people call me smart. I think I'm just hard working. I read enough books to spot liars, and when people you built Idealistic trust with break it, you never leave your guard down. No psychologist or psychology book can break it. T

2 example of this: At the library and they have like 12 posters of upcoming events. I take pictures of them, then later have it added to my calendar. Way easier than jumping back and forth between screens or adding them while my 6 kids are

I agree, I've run into that too. Is it a gesture or something? They already hijacked the power button, how is it turning on again. But otherwise the calendar setting alone is pretty amazing. I just take a bunch of pictures of events an

This is just the well documented distortion field. So... Marketing?

Not sure if I have a 10 or 11 but I disagree. Although I think these features were in whatever pixel I had before. Adding events to calendar is my most common use case. I also have AI look at the screen and do stuff. My biggest complaint he

It's wild people buy their stuff. Is it just blue bubble? Definitely not security after Pegasus.

I did some digging and lots of anti data center accounts were from India. I imagine China bought the accounts or pay $20 for a post.

No one wants? I understand normies on Facebook saying that, but you are on HN. How do you keep that position with the evidence getting thrown at you daily?
