It's not a controversial take. You just lack understanding of the English language. OP: Looking at two countries in an actual long running war... You: This isn’t really all hell breaking loose actual war. Nobody used…
Is it surprising that the audience for "serious investigation into misallocated funds in local county" is extremely small? Is it really wild that you don't see this is a niche, that most people don't care enough to pay…
> If companies would respect the spirit behind GDPR and not store data that is not needed to fulfill a user's requests and protect the data that they must have in a way that makes dragnet searches impossible, this would…
Don't be fooled by talk about security or privacy. This is simple Nation State realpolitik. TikTok is a propaganda threat controlled by a non-friendly state to the US. Any other way to look at this is naive.
There's something hilarious about your framing of "get too big to be shut down". You actually said "if you get popular enough that the public will vote against people who threaten to enforce the law". So someone builds…
Actually, yes, the American tech companies are working hard to enrich humanity. They enrich themselves too. But they've given off tremendous consumer surplus just in comparison to the previous decade, and you'd have to…
Will be great to see Japan become world leaders in AI and for the regulators to realize they're shooting themselves in the foot.
This answer is incredibly technocratic, and misses the mark on what a digital signature is. A digital signature is a legal construct that stands up in court. The movement might have begun, but you need to change your…
I think that "for writing" is incredibly generic and a terrible search term. If you were talking to a human being about this, and you clarified that you weren't simply looking for text editors, but text editors "for…
There's an amazing subtlety here, which is that Governments are slow to function and rarely regulate well. That they're targeting Meta instead of what kids actually use (TikTok) highlights this fact. So not only will…
Operations is time-sensitive, and airlines are real-time operations with actual lives at stake. Introducing bug fixes may ship additional bugs. That's a real risk. The scale of the system needed to get you and your…
Since you want to get to the root cause and we're talking about USA, I believe that would be the American people. Also - corporations are full of people. And those are all Americans. Even lobbyists are Americans. But we…
This is one of those things where it's cold practicality. A company realizes the political headwinds and has decided that it'll do its best with a bad hand. This is what leaders want? We'll throw our support behind the…
If you're an actual, paying customer of NYT, then I would hazard that you're welcome to tell them you don't like what they're doing by not paying them. If you're a freeloader that's just talking about generic morals and…
Absolutely. Your tone comes off as negative, but it's actually the truth and it's better you accept it today. Welcome to reality, where people get paid by customers to do work.
HN is still a site about creating businesses, right? The NYT needs to consider its customers, and ensure they find the balance to make its customers happy. For them, there's a fine line between event reporting, "truth",…
You're creating a strawman that doesn't exist from the article. There's no ask to be fast and perfect. The ask was that retractions happen, and that journalists own up to being wrong. There's evidence provided to show…
I love the infringement on freedom you propose (you can't use your private property or money to own media) in the attempt to prop up a different freedom (speech rights). I also love that you confuse "not being paid to…
