Well, Flock is great and has caught many murderers. What's your point?

Sorry, "tech" is not some catch-all for all the new things. "Tech" has given us wonderful new medicine and safer cars and faster internet. Subscription fees? So "tech" should make producing a film ... free now?

Not the same at all.

There's also a bubble of wealthy people who spend their time commenting on HN articles, complaining about .... other wealthy people. For what purpose? Virtue signaling?

What % of people replace a battery over the lifespan of an item? Does the increased complexity and size of the unit make up for the slightly longer lifespan? What makes it "better" for the environment, exactly when it all ends up

by matchbok3 7d ago
There is no proof that user-replaceable batteries meaningfully reduces e-waste. A lot of tech is upgraded due to obsolete CPUs, etc, not batteries. Plus, batteries last a long time now. Also, landfills work really well. Most recycling doesn

How selfish. Why should I, someone who wants a safer AV, subsidize those who are riskier drivers? Extremely selfish.

The knee-jerk conspiratorial reactions to new technology is depressing to see on HN. Do better.

Looks like they did reverse course a bit, aka a "delay". My comment is still valid. Progressives around the country view these programs as bad. Please avoid personal attacks, do better.

Tell people they are special? Are you joking or just uninformed? These programs provide challenging material to kids who are more capable while leaving room for teachers to create more appropriate coursework for everyone. Do you think those

Quite amazing how progressives continue to try to dismantle public education in the name of "equity". This will just push more to private schools, further harming public education.

Absolutely incorrect. Do you really think the majority of people lived on an acre of arable land providing bountiful vegetables year-round? Do you know what a "tenement" is? Do you know how many people had indoor plumbing in 1960?

by matchbok3 16d ago
Do you know how many people went to college in 1960? Do you know how many households didn't have indoor plumbing? Do you know how many people died of measles? You are cherry picking a few data points to paint a very, very rosy picture

Shortchanging? Do you have any idea what a "typical" middle class lifestyle was like in the 1960s? (Not the romanticized one). Do you think they were eating organic avocados? Life and technology and healthcare and many other thing

Have you ever heard of leaded gas?

Sorry, I have no idea what you are referencing or what person you are talking about. Please stay on topic. Did you respond to a different post by accident? What is your contribution?

Thanks for reporting my comment instead of engaging. Great contribution!

In fact I have 3 children, thanks! And controlling your child's screen time + social media is a very possible thing! It's called "raising your children". Please stay on topic lest everyone get confused by your nonsense a

The world is a whole lot more complicated than the simplistic "CEOs are evil" nonsense. I suggest you talk to an entrepreneur sometime. Or, better yet, do it yourself before judging others so harshly. Or is it too hard for you?

And they can get a new job? Or should people be in the same job all their life?
21.
by matchbok3 21d ago
Workers are not legally or financially accountable for any of that. That is the whole point of a "job". I think you are confused.

Feel the heat? As in, be punished? For what, exactly?

Number of people who think that a leader or a CEO can be replaced by AI and who themselves have actually risked everything to start a company, be a leader, or do anything similar: exactly 0.

Capitalism forces parents to let their kids use their phones and social media all day? Hm, odd. I didn't know parents didn't have authority or agency. Good to know.

Nobody is keeping money in anybody's pockets. What you are advocating for is a tax on NYC people to force them to use human drivers instead of new technology. Just like the toll booth operators of the 90s. It is so disappointing to see

The argument is it's a waste of time, energy, and money that could be used elsewhere. If the creators of this law really thought this would change behavior, they would put a "review" into the law in 5 years with clear success

So about 1% of a 1% of a market. Got it. All of the information about the tires is already available. There is no new information, just duplicated. If a large number of consumers actually cared about their tires drag coefficient we wouldn

What a silly law. If a tire is "inefficient" and therefore "bad", why can't California just ban the sale of them? Instead there will be a new government funded office and rating system with "leaf" icons th

Please look at the border crossings by year, and the asylum nonsense and get back to me champ.

What an odd view of your fellow citizen. To simplify their aspirations as simple fear rather than a complex, human, genuine need. My only question if this: is this tactic working for your side? Given your historic loses to horrible people (
