(I'm the person you're replying to, in case you might get confused) It's very unfortunate that all I received was downvotes, without a single substantial reply as to what would be particularly incorrect about the observations

To prevent premature downvotes, preface: this comment is not about the merits or demerits of the censorship, just that it took place. Whether it's good or bad was a different question, but it very much happened. One might say that it w

I'm Swedish. Since I was a child, for decades, I was taught and never questioned the idea that Germany had learnt from their history, in the most admirable way. That it was really ingrained into the German culture to never let anything

I'm not sure how to phrase this within the rules of HN, but I don't understand how anyone on HN 1. can not understand why Meta and Microsoft aren't fighting this 2. can still be remotely surprised by any of this 3. can act th

The title does not do the content justice. Since Snowden it's been known to the entire world, even outside of HN, that the US government has had this capability for decades now, with mass dragnet surveillance of all internet traffic. W

So far, the signs are that Trump is likely a worse steward than Xi. He just hasn't had the ability to properly fulfill his wishes.

Israel is in Gaza because they have funded and supported Hamas, in the hope they would use those funds to invade them, giving them pretext for a genocide. “Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support b

I strongly recommend going a lot less heavy on the LLM generated writing on HN, it reads far less genuine than when people here right stuff themselves. Just in case you think it's the em-dashes that do it, it is isn't; it was clea

Github -> Microsoft sharing everything with OpenAI sadly sounds realistic. Or they don't exist in the first pLace, or they're now deleted repos, or they used to be public but went private, etc.

On many threads here regarding EU fines, I see the sentiment "The EU only fines US tech to make a quick buck!". It could be an idea to, you know, stop doing these things. Would be great to see another few $billion fine for this on
