Why are you implying I want aid for billionaires not the poor? I was making a pretty objective point about Peter Schiff's opinions, without adding any opinions of my own. So please don't turn me into the billionaire bailout suppor

Wait what? Isn't that the whole point? It's UNIVERSAL. So we don't have to have bureaucracy to run it bla bla. How is it UBI if I stop getting it if I'm working? Then it literally is just another form of government help

I agree with you, but that doesn't take away from the fact that now we might see actual inflation at the level of "everyone". Which is different to the asset price inflation we've seen in the last 12 years.

After following Peter Schiff for over a decade, and him being thoroughly wrong about inflation after 2008, I can't help but think "this time is different". Before 2020 all money printing went to banks, which increased the wea

That fact that everyone around me except for readers of HN think Facebook is evil for doing this, just shows how public opinion is still 100% formed by mainstream media (who have an incentive to portray this as some journalist saving legisl

by zpeti 6y ago
Remember that people still read the mainstream media as legitimate news, and literally no media property has an incentive to cover this from Google or FB's perspective. In a way this is a massive oversight on Google and FB's part.

Buying a good cheap GPU is clearly colonialism, how dare you want to do that.

Just to be completely cynical about it, I think the author's aim is to get as much coverage and clicks as possible, and so is including every buzzword possible. Which of course in the current media climate means everything that you don

One of the absolutely obvious hypocritical things for me is that they don't allow anyone to say in their app that "Apple gets 30% of this fee" That's the equivalent of the IDFA message for Facebook. Which everyone will s

Seems like to many people making nice statements about racial equality and donating money to black only initiatives is enough. Working with actual genocidal governments is fine though, I mean it's what you say that matters, not what yo

I agree with you, and at the same time, there will still be some people who are newcomers but adopted clubhouse at the right time and will become stars because of it. Maybe they weren't even newcomers, just good at what they do. So whi

They need to spend billions suing Apple for every single possible antitrust and anticompetitive lawsuit they can. They need to fund spotify's case against apple music and how ridiculously unfair it is. In fact, why don't they rele

This is absolutely what this is about. Regaining control of the app store as a discovery of apps. Everyone should realise this is apple's actual goal here, not the privacy rhetoric. So in a way Zuck is right. Facebook through extremely

The obvious answer to this is firearms. I'm amazed at how little this is appreciated in terms of the extra stress for US police officers. US police officers are a completely different profession to every other country. Every time they

It doesn't matter any more unfortunately. Anyone with a billion dollars is now evil. There can't possibly be anything positive about a rich person. Oh America, how you have fallen.

So don't work there. But why criticise hard working people who want to work there or imply that they are victims of exploitation? Maybe they believe in the mission? Is anyone forcing them to work at Tesla? As far as I know Tesla doesn&

Cryptos with less of a footprint are on the way. This issue will be solved. In the meantime after a year of the US government printing 20% of all dollars ever made, perhaps an alternative form of currency is a slightly more complex issue th

People in HN need to start understanding, that while most of us can work from home, earn a living, be fairly happy (especially if you're living with someone). You simply cannot even begin to asses the financial and psychological damage

If you want to transcend it, make the world that way, for people around you. But neither nature nor the human world is like that by default. And you can’t expect other people to share your philosophy either. Giving people shelter costs othe

It’s pretty bad when an obvious comment like this is downvoting on HN. It’s a fact, it’s basic economics but also just how the world works. If you want mods to earn more create a social network and pay them more.

Thanks for the input! (I wrote the article). I agree with a lot of it. Maybe the reason its a watershed moment, is that when censorship happens and its on the side of wall street banks, I think for 99% of people the penny starts to drop wha
