Sure, and if depressed people weren't sad, they'd be happier. 'Just don't get frustrated' isn't actionable advice.

Slippery slope is famously a fallacious argument. My first exposure to it was people insisting that legalizing gay marriage would end up legalizing marriage to animals.

Because he has power. Putting aside all the people who admire him who he could direct to boycott or harass some company, he can also direct increased scrutiny to companies that don't pander to him.

Sure, you could go to an educational institution for 2-4 years and hope that your new job doesn't get automated away before you graduate.

The thing about building fulling automated kill bots is then you've built fully automated kill bots.

Seems like it's only when adding 1 + 4, 6, or 8 in a place value or where one of them is 0. It doesn't seem like it'd ever hold across a carry, but I could be missing something. Edit: There's actually a few cases with ad

Alternatively, hand someone $20 and your phone and have them do the verification for you.

This article is like 300 words. Would it have killed them to not generate it using AI?

It seems like this post got killed as well, but it's the first I'm hearing of the functionality. I wouldn't say I'm a frequent user of the site, but I think I would have noticed if people were posting this link often.

People on Hacker News with a high enough score get a "super downvote" that can downrank a story, with enough removing it off the page entirely (flagged). It's why you won't see stories critical of Elon Musk or the curren

Sometimes, but I didn't get sucked into the crypto/blockchain/NFT hype and feel like that was the right call in hindsight.

Valve's 30% cut would lower it substantially. Taxes might put it beneath 50%.

15 years ago this exact comment would have been written swapping out millennials for gen x and gen z for millennials.

Yeah, I saw some posts on there the other day that felt a bit suspect, went to look at their profile, and nothing. I'd already become an infrequent user of reddit since some earlier changes, but that makes me even less likely to go bac

It's still going on now - they just use a third party to help them collude.

But suddenly adding cameras that resulted in catching more people fixed the issue? Surely if the catch and release was the issue, that wouldn't make a difference.

There's a lawsuit ongoing about Valve threatening developers with delisting if they sell non-Steam copies of games (that's NOT Steam keys, but, say, a version on the Epic store) on other stores.

Do you really think many people are being charged and found guilty of felony assault for throwing a sandwich at a random person? He was only charged because the guy was part of a cop-like class.

This is similar to how I'd describe it for me. I can mold the apple into what I want it to be, adding a sheen or showing the bottom or the top, but any "visualization" that I do disappears basically immediately.

A few days ago someone shot people while pretending to be a police officer. Someone impersonating ICE for kidnapping isn't out of the realm of possibility.

People oppose efforts to make changes at the other end of the funnel too. This is the most popular post about Girls Who Code (the first organization that comes to mind, why I searched it): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?i

The Anxious Generation is poorly researched pop science book that people believe to be true because it feels intuitively right to them.

You generally give the company whose platform you're hosting on a license to use your work. That's not something that they'd have that groups scraping the data would not. If the tide turns on AI having to respect copyright, t

So this non-lawyer read the initial complaint, looked into two cases, and thinks he has a meaningful understanding of how the lawsuit is going to go? Why is some random layman's opinion given any weight here?
