Did they hire those software engineers along with their unions? Not quite. It's all about labor and getting rid of the class that used to (and could have) threatened the elites.

Yuck. Do your users know that they are reading recycled LLM content? Is this long winded post generated by an LLM?

Civil disobedience is breaking the law. Are you suggesting that Rosa Parks should have sat in the back of the bus?

Maybe he was trying to torpedo CDL from ever being viable again? It seems a pretty despicable practice that attempts to shoehorn artificial scarcity to digital media, and I hate the fact the our libraries waste their monies propping up arch

For the first time, I can see the advantage of AI for a forum like HN. Have the AI scan the comments and generate a summary and links to show/hide, as an example: 80% of comments are pedantic. 10% of comments discuss the actual topic.

They are not usernames, so why do they call them that? They are more like disposable per-conversation identifiers. "Usernames in Signal do not function like usernames on social media platforms. Signal usernames are not logins or handle

Corporate workplace spying on employee communication became prevalent in the 90s to prevent discrimination lawsuits. This predates what we think of as our contemporary "surveilance capitalism". There were a series of court decisio

Why spend $$ on a high performance air-superiority fighter when you can have one flying truck (F-35) controlling 20 cheap air to air drones? Even if a drone is just a disposable way to draw fire it's still a deal compared to a manned F
