I always love hearing from other people who started with computers by typing in basic from magazines. For me it was a TI 99/4a and typing in code got me completely hooked on programming. Whether it was a game, a 4 bit cpu simulator of

The part I think people have given up on is the contract. There are no rights without obligations and there are no obligations with repercussions. Side rant… every time I’ve heard "We're all in it together" it’s been from so

I can see the point but degree matters. If taxes are socialism then the world is essentially 100% socialist, and the word is essentially meaningless. ChatGPT says 75-80% of business wealth in US is in publicly traded companies, so I’m skept

I think I like the suggestion, but it’s firmly on the capitalism end of the spectrum. Profit sharing is one of the incentives I look at when looking for a job. Not too far off from employee stock programs or matching 401k with company stock

I’ve never seen Mother having an easier time. People don’t like admitting when they’re wrong.

This is no different from the lawyers at any large organization telling individual teams not to use a specific vendor. It happens all the time. Anthropic wants to dictate what the DoD can do with its product. The DoD said that means you’re

I was under the impression that HN is at least as centered on self-promotion as any other social media site. > You don't even have the dopamine hit of counting your content upvotes. There’s a score displayed at the top right; I’m 10

ICE agents are not generally required to present warrants. The agent has all sorts of conditions where they get to say no. If you think you’re above the law and can tell them what to do then you’re going to be arrested.

I just started looking but I can’t find any supporting evidence for this story. The part where someone says “we both know why you’re here” just sounded like a cheesy movie line. The journalist mentioned that while being detained he met a wo

The need for inventory decreases at the same rate as the sales throughout, e.g. if it takes twice as long to sell a pair of shoes than you only need to hold half as many.

I wouldn’t describe them as nationalistic or fascist. There’s no need to bring in any sort of political view… the problem is when little people get a little power. It can get ugly.

It’s the same people. There’s always been an element of luck. I travel a lot and I’ve interacted with a lot of border agents. I’d say luck is important for a lot of countries. I’ve had great experiences flying in US, Egypt, UK and Turkey I’

This feels like a great example of crying wolf. In the future I’ll be much less interested in what this author has to say.

We don’t have a way to up and down vote agreement. We can only vote on whether a comment should be displayed. That’s not engagement, it’s a fundamentally different concept.

Why is your ire directed at the US here? Spying on each others citizens is one thing, but the UK is attempting to both prevent the US from having meaningful consumer encryption and destroy trust in US corporations. I’m a bit shocked that an

I’m not sure what you’re saying here. Farmers certainly didn’t launch satellites or write the software on them, but I don’t think anyone would expect or want that. Long ago, when I was young though, the first satellite imaging I saw was at

What is the insight you’re looking for? Or what is the category? Honestly curious what the threshold is and how you think it would exhibit.

Is there any official confirmation of this? A random post on mastodon about a random post on bluesky isn’t really very meaningful.
