I didn't see anything in there about working with the judicial system to ensure due process. Identifying and apprehending people is a bad thing when there is no due process.

If you get traffic, but no conversion, SEO is not your problem. You aren't telling a compelling enough story, so your traffic closes the window. Unfortunately, that means the answer is simple: Write better content.

Sounds like you were posting about politics so the flagging was appropriate. You also were asking about TL;DRs which are explicitly not on-topic on HN. I'm not sure you've grasped the culture here to be honest. This one statement

Sure, so draw a different line - not all devs have access to withdraw cash from the corporate accounts, or to open the email of the CEO and board, etc. There are always lines of privilege drawn. The point isn't to quibble over where th

You need to secure the account an LLM-based app runs under, just like you would any user, AI or not. When you hire real people, do you grant them full privileges on all systems and just ask them not to touch things they shouldn't? No,

Something along these lines gets posted fairly regularly, and I'm not sure where the disconnect is, but the answer remains the same: People do not want LLM-generated marketing thrown in their face.

That concept has been floating around a few places recently. It is wishful thinking. Your userbase won't accept constant small changes in UX, functionality, or the same bugs returning every time you update the production code. And that

My ancient background in Lotus Notes dev offers a different perspective than most. Yep, it is a hated platform now, but back in its heyday, it had similar business impact to what we are seeing from LLMs now. Non-tech folk could whip out bas

I don't buy the premise - reels might inspire an overall location to visit, but they don't become the itinerary. I'm going to do my own research and select where to go and what to do. If all I wanted to do was see what was in

You'd need to dig into who is running their product decisions, and try to determine how they are making decisions. But to be honest, that line of questioning would probably make most interviewers defensive to the point that you'll

Pre-PMF running off a seed round? There is a very real timer counting down. They need PMF and customers before the money runs out in order to convince the next round of investors. Assume it will be a 3-6 month gig, with a mild chance of act

I see two problems here: 1) Facial age checks seem hackable. I can easily put a filter in front of my camera output and make myself look however I want. 2) Even if the age checks work, a 15 year old can talk to a 9 year old. That is better
