I don't think I understand what your point is? Are you implying that the US should have what? Stayed in Afghanistan forever? What solution would you have proposed there?

I think you're out of touch with what "almost everyone" considers an acceptable standard of living. I know plenty of people who have a single car or none at all, live in apartments living pay check to pay check with no kids a

I thought it was more 'social media for people that don't like normal social media'. It's not being advertised too on a social media platform and seeing things/interactions that you actually care about and/or a

Really wish more people had that mind set. Practicing medicine isn't easy, especially in the US when you have to battle the insane insurance industry.

Yea I don't particularly mind it, just an interesting thing about HN compared to many other forums.

That seems to be especially true on HN. Other forums there is some of that as well, but HN it seems nearly every single comment section is like 75% (random number) pointing out faults in the posted article.

If you're doing it yourself, learn Ansible, you'll do it once and be set forever. You do not need "managed" database services. A managed database is no different from apt install postgesql followed by a scheduled back

I haven’t really seen anyone make that assumption. I don’t think the article blindly assumes anything, they provided some pretty concrete examples of why a decentralized platform may solve some of the issues with centralized social media.

I think the author is more saying that no political party (whether or not they like them) should be able to control it. I don't see anywhere in the article that would suggest they don't want certain people to use it. Just that the

There are still plenty of programmers that care about quality rather than stuff like vibe coding. Most programmers I know don't take vibe coding (defined as making an app with 100% llm generated code and not looking at the code at all)

I read the repo more as "go through this if you want to have a greater understanding of how things work on a lower level inside your computer". In other words, presumably it's not only intended for people who want to contrib

That makes sense, especially if your building web applications that are primarily "just" CRUD operations. If a lot of the API calls follow the same pattern and the application is just a series of API calls + React UI then that se

Yea I agree it seems like (for my own team anyways), one group channel would work a lot better than a per person channel for everyone. I think some people may feel more likely to post, especially work related topics, in a group channel rath

Your first point doesn't mean that universal health care in the US would not be expensive. It definitely would, not that the USG couldn't afford it, but it wouldn't be cheap. Agree with your second point.

I think it definitely has been like this for a long time now at least. The most obvious example that comes to mind is Facebook. They harvested millions of users data and used it for political manipulation (Cambridge Analytica) without users
