This is a ludicrous judgement. The notion that somehow an ISP caused $47million in actual damage (i.e. prevented 47 million dollars of music being bought) is wrong by a factor of hundreds at least, particularly in the era of spotify. It&#x2

No offense to everybody upvoting this type of thing, but claims like this seem to outweigh any actual tangible result by 100 or 1000 to 1. I think it's a better use of everybody time to say "Well, let's just wait until it&#x2

Right, how highschool debate should be structured is like this: Two parties are given sets of random "belief statements" (e.g. "All zugs are wogs", "Some wogs aren't clogs"), and then both parties exchange

Here's my challenge, if you actually believe this and don't just want to whine at void, share some ACTUAL ARCHIVED PROMPTS you gave it, the date, response, and the current response to those same prompts. Otherwise quit whining.

Eh, this is one of those garbage HN posts, where it's got a political agenda and 5% of HN wants to turn HN into a culture war, so they post bad-faith stuff every now and then which lives for a moment until it gets auto-moderated. A goo

Too bad. What teddit needs is a way to use the user's ips to call reddit (and then they cache it every 5m), maybe a browser plugin or something.

Yes, I think my comments are effective, but I don't think they are pleasant. It seems like you think it's wrong to give great advice that might hurt feelings, if that's what you think then I think you're wrong and possib

No idea why you're downvoted. The idea that the human body has the formula for immortality 99% right and it just "forgot" to make enough of protein X which has no downsides seems hopelessly naive to me. Just look at existing

So 26lbs in 3 months is unusual. Think of it this way, if you ate zero food (and your metabolism didn't go down for some reason) it'd take 36.4 days to lose 26 lbs of fat. So it's like going a 1000 calorie deficit (40%) for 9

Hard to understand how this is a crime, or how they came up with 3 billion dollars of damage. Seems like if it's legal for a person to do it should be legal for software to do for the most part.

The question "Who caused this?" is just an oversimplification and a way to get people emotional. If you really want to make things better then you focus on the question "How do we make it better from where it is now?"

The answer is never "blacks" that's just not an actionable thing. If you think crime then the problem then you can come up with suggestions to improve things (policing perhaps? Gun control? reducing poverty?), those improveme
