One Job Is Mostly Safe from AI: Crackheads
Let's be honest, poor people in general.
"Vote with money" is such a funny talking point in this discussion. It's a metaphor for actual voting, with votes, which the people already did, for politicians who are now protecting their interests. You just don't…
Not for those of us around in 2018 when they became QVC for sh*tcoins
I think it's a stretch to call firefox on mac "unusable". Like once a month I'll have something not work, and half the time it also doesn't work in chromium (both are the developer's fault). And when it does work in…
I guess my point is, FPTP / lesser-evilism / party lines are all tools corporate power uses to explain why outcomes keep diverging from desires within our nominal democracy. It's all well and good to lament…
That aggression is a powerful political force. If democrats had used the same aggression to go after this type of corruption that Trump uses to go after latin americans, they would have ironclad popular support. The…
Unfortunately, Ivy-League research suggests the opinions of 90% of Americans have virtually no impact on legislation.. That is basically predetermined by lobbyists, paid for by the same corporations meant to be…
This whole thread is a fascinating exercise. I'm watching HN derive Lenin's "What is to be Done?" from first principles.
I have no moral objection, but it would just change the composition of CEOs as a group. Instead of just selecting for sociopaths, we'd start selecting for sociopaths with high pain tolerance.
No one can prove the CEO did anything, but whatever it was it was worth 500x as much as the average employee.
This is so cool! I also tried replicating Incredibots during the pandemic, but abandoned it in favor of 3d stuff. I remember every day as a kid logging on to find new vehicles, challenges, rube-goldberg machines. Some…
When supply and demand moves prices up, it's the invisible hand of the market. When it moves prices down, it's your individual fault and you should consider paying suppliers reparations.
If my Granda had wheels she'd be a bicycle
Well it did end up getting flagged and removed. So wherever you think "the line" is for acceptable Nazi apologia on this website is misplaced; tread carefully.
"As high as possible" is a function of scale though. There is only so much global demand for memory at a given price point. If CXMT determine that by increasing supply they can increase profit even if it lowers prices,…
Oh, maybe we're mixing terms here. OP was proposing CXMT as a "solution" to the problem of these companies engaging in price fixing. Now you're saying there needs to be a "solution" to the problem of these companies no…
Cool thank god
I'm not paying to use HN. I'm jaded and opposed to techno-optimism, so if anything by just expressing my honest opinions here I'm wearing away at those startups' power by challenging their most critical base of…

How is this not flagged??
A "free speech" HN is just HN. It would end up with the same cryptic way of describing replacement theory, because it's not for the purpose of evading censors. It's for the purpose of cosplaying having "dangerous…
What would the issue be, in the long term? I'm struggling to see a downside to more manufacturing capacity
Price match creates downward pressure, nobody is gonna sue over lower prices. This is like if you showed a supermarket that their competitor's oranges were more expensive, and they "matched" by raising their prices for…
Prices skyrocketing create a perfect opportunity to slip in a little artificial bump and hope everyone blames the market. See also: egg prices in 2024.
