China is as corrupt or more corrupt as anywhere else. You can absolutely buy your way out, or otherwise wrangle something. Zero tolerance death penalty for this sort of thing is a sign of extreme desperation - the fact…
This is also the "can be shit - will be shit" fallacy. Everyone knows that digital restaurant experiences are crap and most people do not pick a restaurant based on the digital experience. All restaurants use the same…
I don't think the US can brick F35s but I do think the maintenance contracts essentially require full aircraft logs going to Lockheed at all times or the "warranty" is void - so America will have a good idea where jets…
But.. but I told the LLM that it is an _expert_, is that worth nothing??
There is no "competing for the best immigrants". Anyone who is at the top of the ladder (educated, wealthy) will move wherever is most desirable, and thats pretty much only the US. You can't fake it with incentives,…
The Stasi would blush
It feels like commoditising intelligence because they think an AI screenshot is some kind of currency of truth. The truth doesn't even really matter anymore, its just whatever ChatGPT says it is
You're absolutely right! This isn't just tiring <em-dash> it's _insulting_.
Agreed, there is one simple solution that always works albeit limited and temporary. Jefferson said it, Luigi did it, many are thinking it - but we must ensure it does not turn into a mass purge, just limit to maybe a…
I think thats missing the point. Being multiracial is a function of being open, not a means to the end. America is a can-do country that generally embraces new things, which includes 'new people' and new ways. I'm not…
I'm more "the kids are showing healthy skepticism of corporate dystopia but AI is vital" camp, here is my argument: 1. Yes the risk of AI corporate/authoritarian dystopia is HUGE, we'll have to fight for our rights MANY…
Generous interpretation: instead of pearl-clutching over ethnicities and traditionalism America invited the world to immigrate and encouraged diverse ideas and industries. Other societies have shunned even foreign food…
I just don't accept any ban on VPNs, I will just be a criminal. I'm not fighting for a country I'm not allowed to wave the flag of and I'm not respecting any digital safety laws that simply do not apply to me because I…
I think we just start calling it what it is: TREASON. These are traitors to our country selling out our national assets to a foreign country.
No I'm asking what language/sentence you are referring to that says "it's safe"
I'm going to start a research lab that releases dubious conclusions so I can then be hired by other companies to "bad mouth" their product just so people on the internet can link the two and conclude that their product…
What in your view is the single strongest scientific conclusion supporting your statement that "it's safe"?
Fresh fruit has gone through selective breeding over the decades to increase sweetness. This was discovered by a zoo in Australia IIRC, when it was noticed that animal dental issues had increased despite diets remaining…
The argument for MSG is that it's "naturally occurring in food anyway" and that it is a substitute for worse things - which sounds like the same argument for aspartame. The bottom line is you don't know for sure and…
"While informative, this does not prove aspartame is safe" There is no such thing as "it's just a normal chemical". Sugar is "just a normal chemical" that doesn't mean refining it and injecting it into products with a…
So basically there's no scientific consensus either way, there's no tradition of using it and there are extreme commercial incentives for harm so it's a no from me
The only thing we can do is refuse to participate. Europe no longer needs its people, our governments have demonstrated clearly that the average person is irrelevant and replaceable. Our industries have been sold off…
I am jewish and I wrote this. If you think that's bad check out the entire state of political discourse across America and Europe - just don't look at the Middle East because you will be in for a shock
It shouldn't be on HN because it has nothing to do with tech and we come here to escape It should be on HN because we are human and once in a while it is good to see human interest break through and calibrate the room
Germany is cucked, what Hitler did was outrageous and destroyed any rational ability for generations - and yes while I am heavily critical of Israel and the demonstrably true supremacy and nepotism they have created…
