I'm unfamiliar with the subject. What's the problem with BBC Future?
You are still ignoring the only distinction I made - the one between nurturing and nursing. I always understood them as having widely accepted distinct meanings, and the author of the article seems to follow it too. You…
You're conflating nurturing and protection with birthing and nursing. I also don't understand why this opinion is so controversial. Humans, including men are one of the rare species that nurture and protect babies…
> It’s probably unnatural for adult men to spend much time with tiny children in the first place. Sorry, what? The framing of this sentence alone has a very creepy vibe. I can't speak for all of us, but most us have…
> I can't speak for the person you're responding to, but my default reaction to people who say things like this is that they probably don't have kids,... I don't have kids and it still sounds nonsensical. As a man, my…
I'm not the author and I can't find what you're looking for. But you could make it easily if you prefer it. The documentation [1] seems to be in texinfo format that's commonly used for making info files used distributed…
Absolutely agreed. These two big corporate players with the biggest market-share are actively ruining the email ecosystem for their profit. I wish people would drop them and stop choosing them. Hopefully, the EU may…
You are making the exact same defeatist argument that I consider harmful. The reasons are further down my comment above. There are better answers than 'it's doesn't work'.
I didn't name any single AI. But who is providing the AI used by the Pentagon and Israel to plan the mass killings in Iran and Palestine respectively? I'm surprised that people can't see the obvious danger.
As of when I'm writing this, three stories on the front page of HN (17, 18, 19) are about two bigtech companies dissing (for the lack of another polite word) their customers and third party vendors. I don't know how…
> And this is what's informing the thought-leaders in the US administration. More like them choosing what to listen to. There are a lot of pacifist preachers around. Why don't they ever catch these people's attentions?…
> about a person that, say what you will, is nowhere near the list of planetary "really bad guys". Even if we limit it to tech, the list starts with someone way richer, then goes through four or five way-shadier people.…
All of those are false equivalences. Let me give you a few better analogies. Selling an axe that's known to be so defective that it breaks upon use and impales anybody nearby. Even worse, it is sold as great for axe…
'Source Available', not Open Source. It says so right in the README. The distinction is very important, since there are some who intentionally try to cause confusion between the two. While I prefer open source over…
Yes! Moar Wars! That's what we now! I couldn't read the entire article due to the paywall. But you have to hand it to the WSJ for publishing such an opinion piece when the entire world is suffering from an energy crunch…
The writing was on the wall when they tried to implement invasive telemetry on users, following an investment offer. They did walk back on it due to community backlash and boycott. But if history has shown us anything,…
Are you not aware of the techno-authoritarian ambitions of the silicon valley tech bros? It isn't much of a secret these days, after they published a few books detailing their aspirations, a bit like Project 2025. There…
I'm curious. Are they in the market in large enough volumes yet? I've been waiting for ages for something better than Li-Ion and LiPo tech to become widely available. We need much higher energy densities, and preferably…
As much as I dislike gatekeeping measures like UK's age verification, you can't deny the genuine problem that exists in this case. But it isn't 'machine bad'. There is no good technology or bad technology. It's the…
Just FYI. Almost every launcher that offers commercial services has such a user manual. I was involved in preparing one such manual. A collection of these manuals can be quite entertaining for 5 year olds. You should be…
