I wouldn't object, though I also don't see how to put the genie back in the Citizens United bottle.
There are some efforts to do exactly that, though overall I'd observe that the general level of technological sophistication / early adopter-ism is pretty low in the politician cohort. There are tools for developing…
Former (failed) candidate here, state legislative race in a smaller state that's not generally described as competitive. Money = time. When large donors can deploy large amounts of cash, it relieves you of the need to…
As the parent of a teen with ADHD, I find myself comparing my growing-up experiences and anxieties with his. I'm confident that if I were coming of age today, I would probably have been diagnosed with something because…
For me, as much as it pains me to admit this, the sales and account relationship process is just as important of a factor now. I'm at a level where I'm not the end user of most of the infrastructure I purchase for the…
Without irony, here's ChatGPT's summary: This legal complaint alleges that defendants operating a non-profit entity for the benefit of humanity have committed massive fraud on donors, beneficiaries, and the public. The…
A friend of mine works at a law firm that exclusively handles train injury cases. It happens a LOT more than you'd expect, primarily at crossings. Hearing-handicapped or people blasting their speakers who don't hear the…
I don't personally know the OP, but his profile isn't that of a passing crypto fanboy hustling to attract a followers list. I'd wager that he probably doesn't care much if some pro-Elon HN folks don't agree with his…
Seems relevant to me. The article is from your organization, and that information is something I wouldn't have known if not for the prior commenter's comment.
I agree that we're not going to see a US privacy framework that's identical to GDPR and where all players have the same obligations and enforcement mechanisms. What is extremely problematic, IMHO, is the US having _no_…
I'm mostly just projecting based on the current 48+2+50 state of the Senate where virtually everything gets held up. If the Democrats brought it forward, I would expect the Republicans to filibuster just on principle.
Ten years or so ago, I was participating in a small business roundtable discussion with one of our state senators. At the time, I ran a consumer research agency and would often have multinational projects involving…
Those same pay-once video games also sell season passes, MTX content, expansion packs, and in-game currency.
It may not have made national news, but here (I only live a couple hours from Mendon) some of this made its way into local awareness. It was mostly focused on the efforts of the boy scouts in the area, though.
In this new climate, it will take more than laws. Permanence will require constitutional amendments (which is actually how most things get rooted at the state level, the state constitutions change pretty regularly).
I consume Reddit in generally the same way I consume Twitter - I completely ignore what's trending and only look at the people/subreddits that I've made an explicit choice to follow. Twitter's algorithm gives me more…
I endured 13 months. In my mind, very little skill development happened during those 13 months. But here I am, years later, and that line item in my history still carries some sense of market validation - that, because…
Midwestern GenX suburban parent here. Nothing important happens in our subdivision (hundreds of homes) without mention of it in the neighborhood's private Facebook group. Our public school district uses a Facebook page…
My team also went through this at Microsoft, back around 2008-09. My team was firmly in the "this is bullshit" camp, but there were others who took it quite a bit more seriously. And then there were the "reds", which…
I'm currently in JoCo as well and my subdivision is much, much less diverse than my previous home within Kansas City city limits. My son's school is 80% white, 99% non-economically-disadvantaged, 93% students without…
Central banks and other researchers have been writing for decades now about the inevitable shift in labor markets as a result of the US demographic curve and retiring baby boomers. My POV is that the pandemic served as…
In this instance, I don't think it's a problem specific to the HN community.
The article talks around the issue, as others have commented, but I take from it a preview of what's to come in our own 25-person environment: a commitment to continued hybrid work policy, but not a similar commitment…
I am having flashbacks to the dial-up BBS days of the late 80s, where I made a decent local living designing animated logon screens for various sites in exchange for access to said sites. Had to optimize character…
Personally, I find the free built-in version to be far short of good enough.
