What’s it going to take to get Hacker News commenters to stop perpetuating the myth that trademark holders are required to be litigious assholes if they don’t want their trademarks to lapse?

The pitch is that businesses can reduce parking congestion (is there a dollar value you can pin to this?) by paying you to act as a personal scooter consultant for their employees? During research did you come across any mass-market applica

Can you elaborate? Sounds like a non sequitur to me.

Further devaluation of our holistic humanity. We already define ourselves largely by the functions we perform in society, but at least current class distinctions are still mostly social. Imagine how much worse it would be if people could li

For the record, I agree it was probably a joke, albeit one that reveals something true about how he and people like him view the world. But if the idea is that Musk personally supported the coup because the Morales government wouldn’t hand

As opposed to an anti-mullahs, anti-Russia, and anti-Hezbollah outlet that would be a normal geopolitics website?

Read the comments on this post alone. It affects morale. Morale affect productivity, no germaphobia required.

Agreed, but what’s the alternative though? Just going full Amish on them until they’re 18? 25? Look at all the Baby Boomers and older Gen X’ers that got on the Internet in the past ten years and instantly had their brains rotted despite dec

What if the dev in Boise and the dev in Seattle and the dev in Butte got together and agreed none of them would work for less than a certain salary?

This sounds like circular reasoning to me. “You can’t collect an SV-level salary working remotely from the Bay because the company could just hire someone from Nebraska, and the company won’t pay him an SV-level salary because he’s not loca

The criteria was existence. It existed. Could the internet exist in a way that makes the RIAA/MPAA/etc happy without DMCA? Maybe not. But there’s no reason to assume their happiness is a requirement, or even desirable.

by Adraghast 4y ago
Considering the open internet existed before DMCA did, I suspect “essential” is an exaggeration.

People should be taught to be nice to others, of course. The point is that LLMs are not “others”, they are inanimate tools. If I called a cashier a worthless piece of shit, that would be incredibly rude. If I said the same thing to Siri, it

Quite the standard you’ve set there!

Because if they don't I won't sell them my labor. I've retained employment for nearly two decades, and have retained the "privilege" of working remotely for nearly half of that. I'm not concerned.

by Adraghast 4y ago
Sounds like an excuse to me. Pretending to work in-office is only marginally more difficult than doing so remotely.

It’s not some solvable, technocratic equation, it’s a conflict between labor and management. I don’t look at it from my employers’ perspectives because I don’t care about their outcomes.
