They literally let a satellite crash to earth without knowing where it will land, worldwide. So yeah, their risk tolerance is probably higher :)

Based on many HN comments about Modi and his anti democracy moves, I'm not quite sure India agrees.

Can someone explain to me how this makes sense when they are letting insulate britain block motorways? Like which protests are they trying to stop? I assume blocking motorways is illegal already, yet the police are doing nothing, which is l

It's also the basis of Burkean conservatism IMO, but I didn't want to bring politics into it :)

$100bn to get to a working fusion reactor doesn’t mean the second one will cost €100bn as well…

Don't forget that in this case 2 million people signed a petition saying what's happening on the platform is non consensual, AND they got taken to court and lost. That is the legal system working. Taking payments away for someone

When you setup a facebook ad, you literally say to them: spend $100 per day. Then Facebook has a 6 hour outage. Facebook can then show more ads to users per time on Facebook, to get to the $100 per day. Or it can only spend $75 that day. I

Because some people think government is the answer to every problem and if you just regulate Facebook and by law they have to have 100% uptime - then surely they will. These are also usually the people close to government or in it unfortuna

I'd love for someone like yourself to explain to me what your vision of the future is, or what you see as a "good" world in the next few years. At what point can we go back to pre covid regulations/laws? What level of bo

Who are you protecting with masks when a country is 98% vaccinated? Wasn’t the promise in most countries that once that level of vaccination is achieved we can go back to normal? Or can we just be clear that it’s masks for everyone forever

Not only that, but everyone has now had a chance to get the vaccine. If you catch COVID now and end up with complications you are either a very small edge case (which is bad but there are edge cases in using motorways, sports, and other dis

What's your position on the current third shot issue? Should we listen to the scientist panel that said no, or the government that said yes? What is youtube's position? Will it delete all government communications because the scie

Right. But what happens before it's retracted? The incorrect position of the authority is repeated, and now in this case is basically denied distribution by Youtube. Now in this case youtube is probably right "scientifically"

Let me reframe, in spring 2020 the CDC says don't buy or use masks, they don't work. This was spread as the gospel, by the media and probably youtube. How many people died because of increased infections? Is that Youtube's fa

What happens next time? In a decent relationship your spouse will want you to pick the movie next time. And so everyone is happy half the time, and you are mutually trying to make each other happy. That’s fair, supportive, and a good marria

Slavery and human trafficking is illegal. How are their debates about moderating it? I haven’t seen any. It’s like calling for violence, there isn’t a question it has to be moderated. The gray areas are non illegal things like hate speech.

Think of Joe rogan as a 3 hour Ted talk. Except you can’t make an interesting 3 hour presentation, but you can actually make a conversation interesting. What’s wrong with someone fleshing out their views for 3 hours? And there’s another thi

The title doesn’t make sense at all to me. If the statement was literally true, what would happen to the millions of minimum wage earners? They literally couldn’t afford rent and would be literally living on the street, or in shelters. And

Agreed. 20 years of lower and lower interest rates, meaning higher and higher mortgage amounts have driven up prices into oblivion. Either these prices are inflated away or there is a collapse. There's not much else you can, UK housing

Pretty big red flag was why so many multinational corporations are pro open borders. Corporations rarely take a stance on political issues unless they have a reason to do so.
