I can give you the Model Y but take a look at the rest of the lineup compared to when they were first released. Hell, you're in this very post calling the S/X old.

This one is hilarious. https://hackerone.com/reports/3516186 If I submitted this, I'd have to punch myself in the face repeatedly.

I won't disagree that the people inside the system are making it worse but the system is currently setup to incentivize bad behavior. - Overly broad qualified immunity - The power of the police unions - Lawsuit settlements coming out o

I would disagree to a certain extent. "Law enforcement is not your friend" is a good mindset as a citizen. You should never hand them information without a lawyer and you should always push for oversight. I agree that the "sa

The best part is that, in trying to comply with this guidance, the government chose Telemessage to provide the message archiving required by the Federal Records Act. The only problem is that Telemessage was wildly insecure and was transmitt

AI is not unique in this regard. We just saw the same thing with the crypto/blockchain nonsense. Regulation lags so far behind that you can get away with bad behavior long enough that, by the time regulation catches up, you can buy you

That's great but they could have been honest up-front and said "The plan is that this is eventually fully-automated but we estimate that it needs supervised training for X amount of time in order to handle Y% of transactions autom

Their initial advertising claimed near full automation by their "AI" system when, in reality, they had people manually handling around 70% of the transactions. I get that this is a message board for YC, so lying about your company

It's great that they faced essentially no consequences for this. A sure sign that we have a functional and sane market.

I always assumed "social media" is something tied to your real-life identity. For me, HN would not be social media. But there are people here that give their entire life story in their profile, I would say that, for those people,

You mean the ones that we had the ability to remove in previous administrations without the need for harassing and assaulting non-criminals and citizens on the street? As for the list, do you think this DHS compiles a list of its fuckups an

Yeah, that’s been the GOP playbook for 20+ years. It’s only recently been used for US citizens.

This is a great paper but, in my experience, most people in tech love this paper because it allows them to say "To hell with pursuing reality. Here is MY reality".

I would guess there is a remote safety driver as well. Tesla has pulled that same trick with their "autonomous" robots.

The Libertarian Party does not put all of those caveats on their stance and you sure as hell didn't in your polemic post. Your argument is nothing but pedantry anyway. The libertarian stance is that most immigration laws should be abol

The Libertarian Party advocates for free and open immigration. Are you going to sit here and tell us that the Libertarians are far-left?

I think we just lack the ability for self-critique as a country. If you try, you get a bunch of loud morons yelling at you for being un-American or some other nonsense.

No. It’s also good to be skeptical of people that seem like they are operating in good faith. Example: The decade+ of people worshipping at Musk’s feet only for him to reveal himself as a malignant narcissist.

by Cornbilly 8mo ago
I don't think they were being dismissive. They just said they were skeptical, which is generally a good thing. It's certainly better than the goofy hero worship I constantly see on HN.

>Why do people downvote this? Bizarre - and plain stupid. A sizable chunk of the HN userbase is All-In on the Trump cult. They try to bury anything that questions the infallibility of the administration.

I share your fear. We have a hard enough time finding juniors (hell, non-juniors) that know how to program and design effectively. The industry jerking itself off over Leetcode practice already stunted the growth of many by having them focu

I’ve noticed this a lot with startup culture. It’s like an unwritten rule to only praise each other because to give honest criticism invites people to do the same to you and too much criticism will halt the gravy train.

A lot of guys are very insecure because they’re overweight and sedentary and have a desk job (instead of working manual labor). And since the US is all about making your consumption your identity, the “x is masculine” marketing is like shoo
