I'm all for making it easier for my indian friends to become a citizen of the USA. However, it seems strange to complain about the US naturalization process, when its not easy for me being a US citizen to become a citizen of india. ht

The only thing annoying about the OLED LG TV at least C9 version i have is that it wont allow you to airplay unless you're connected to the WIFI. So you need to add a custom rule that doesn't allow the TV access to the public inte

It's completely due to prior to 9/11 you left the hijackers alone and they would land the plane, get arrested or die in a shootout with the police. Now if you attempt to hijack a plane 100-300 passengers will beat your ASS and sto

Ah yes, the old cato institution nonsense that we spend too much on anti povery programs. Reason being is because the rich siphon it all off for themselves. See: https://www.justice.gov/archive/opa/pr/2003&#x2

Why are they not allowed to try to improve their "horrible" situation. Corporations are allowed collective action but workers are not, seems kind of untenable.

People keep saying chat gpt is the replacement for search, but chat gpt powered bing search is an obscene joke that barely works. Google's problem is that i searched for "Cape Code VRBO" this morning and couldn't get my

Chris Dixon and those crooks 100% let retailers hold the bag for all the worthless tokens they were able to dump on the public. But still the 15x is surprising to me, then again if its based on last years mark to market it makes sense. Fair

I don't think people care if left wing or right wing people are banned. People want consistency, safety and the rules applied equally. Right wing people seemed to act like shitheads more often so they are banned more often. I'd co

Charge them $10 to create an account (anonymous, real, parody whatever), then if they break a rule give them a warning, 2 rule breaks, a 24 hour posting suspension, 3 strikes and permanently ban the account. Let them reregister for $10. Con

It's odd seeing this on hacker news. When people on hacker news are literally shadow banned, have their comments hidden with zero feedback or notice. In fact i guarantee this comment cant be seen either.

This is literally what every bank requires their employees to do. If you work at say Goldman there's a window every quarter AFTER earnings that you are allowed to sell your stock. Otherwise no dice. So no, not market manipulation, just
