That would always be an interesting experiment, if only the people in power would ever allow it. Unfortunately, all political parties try their hardest to perpetuate and foster “illegal” immigration to fill their own pockets.

It’s actually not clearly mentioned what PII is exposed in the article. Feels like the usual fear mongering blogspam.

This is a fundamentally misguided take. An equivalent comparison would be jailing all humans to keep them safe from each other. Humans having a home for occasional safety from environmental hazards is not the same as free-flying birds being

Apple has stuffed their consumer hardware with high-end chips - that are completely under-utilised by themselves and restricted for third-party apps…

WW2: 1939-1945 IPO years per my research - Raytheon: 1952 Boeing: 1962 Lockheed Martin: 1994 Northrop Grumman (pre merger): 1939 Hard to find clear sources on this, but doesn’t seem like the major defense contractors we’re talking about wer

> We need antitrust enforcement on a massive scale across all industrial sectors The problem is that capitalism directly leads to centralisation for efficiency. Honestly not sure how that is solvable without massive changes to society.

He’s not using the general PPP measure - he’s just using the same concept applied to military tech. He clearly qualified it by saying “to reach the same capability”.

As far as I can tell, the defence companies we’re talking about were not public back then?

I honestly don’t know what you’re arguing at this point - could you please reread the context?

If your expectations were widely accepted as true, then all streaming platforms would provide seamless DRM-free downloads.

It’s hilarious when one is deep in an HN thread and the original point is completely missing.

No, it’s not. Expecting to download content freely from a subscription-based platform, where the creator/producer has ownership, is an unreasonable requirement. Go buy a DVD, or convince YouTubers to release MP4s for money.

The elitist mindset of expressing disgust at “low IQ” people is wrong. Please do link some sources proving the necessity of only “high IQ” populace, and how that’s sustainable as a society.

Which workplace do you vote at?

by yunohn 4y ago
That seems like an arbitrary requirement - no other media streaming platform allows for this. In fact, YouTube is the only one that’s even possible to reasonably use/download for free.

Computers can perform prime factorisation of incredibly large numbers - I’m not aware of any human that can do that. Does that make my point clearer?

And that’s fine? A 130+ IQ population would be mindnumbingly boring tbh. We, as a society, need all sorts of humans - not everyone can work at FAANG. In fact, I’d go as far as to say that high IQ people aren’t significantly better at societ

The point of using a computer/AI is enable predictable and/or factual output. It’s not really a useful gotcha to say that “most humans would get this wrong”…

Also, I’m not sure how they are scraping Twitter using /the/ Substack IP? Not even clear what that means tbh - the website is running on one IP and simultaneously running scrapers?

I’ve never seen NFT features on Instagram, so I’m not sure what they’re winding down either.
