Why does the US have to offer jobs to the whole world? People flood US borders like it's a magnet sucking them in and cry when they can't stay. If it's so exploitive why don't people stay in their own country or go somew

The amount of coordination it takes to release these files, coupled with the incompetence of government. The prosaic explanation is the more likely one, meaning the events are unrelated.

People are asking why they would switch from zig to rust. I wonder the opposite: why would anyone would use zig over rust?

Isn't it? Look up the California high speed rail. There is massive corruption, incompetence, and red tape.

This argument always comes up. "Why not public transit? It's so efficient, look at country X". Well, country X has people who respect public property and are orderly, so they can have nice things. The US is filled with people

Trump is a disruptor. I am interested to see how this plays out and whether he replaces anyone. One thing I've learned since COVID is, unfortunately, to be more skeptical of medical authorities. We were lied to in so many ways and all

Agreed, Twitter suspended accounts for "misgendering" and sharing Hunter Biden laptop stories. It was a bubble that protected leftists. X, however, is pro free speech. Everyone is platformed. Everyone can discuss. Everyone can deb

Why would a Nazi go to Israel, meet with Netanyahu, visit Auschwitz and light a candle in solidarity, and generally support Jews? It makes no sense. People just hate Elon and call everyone a Nazi. It is not an accusation that is taken seri

It is a Rorschach test. I see an awkward attempt of someone with Asperger's saying "my heart goes out to you", which is what he said while making the gesture. You apparently saw a Nazi salute. Given he has no other Nazi tende

Pattern recognition - people who are on bsky are overly concerned with pronouns and extreme leftist ideology and/or extreme hate for trump. There is no actual discourse. Just a bubble where there is no tolerance for debate or differenc

He did not do a Nazi salute. That is propaganda from legacy media. He has never even said anything remotely Nazi-like. He is pro free speech, pro humanity, pro USA.

Twitter, before Elon, was the company that literally banned your account for sharing the hunter Biden laptop story. That story was purported to be a "conspiracy theory" but was actually true. And people were locked out of their ac

I noticed some topics and comments that were usually in violation of HN guidelines are no longer flagged, and discourse decays into reddit-like jabs and echo chambers. Only a small percent, but still, more than the previous 0% I was accusto

Getting builds to work was some of the most tedious, least interesting work. It is so satisfying to watch the agent try 4 different things and magically go on its way. No more makefile syntax searches or cmake hell.
