It doesn't matter if it's Congress. At the end of the day America's internal governance systems are America's problem. The rest of the world should not care if a certain branch is causing issues, and frankly, is starting

Perhaps I am misreading Op's post, but it sounds like that's what they did? If they signed to purchase it, is that not buying it?

A government structure that changes isn’t inherently bad. The US has gone through multiple iterations just by reinterpreting a document. Other countries tend to be a bit more explicit in this. The US in 2026 operates fundamentally different

This nuclear argument is getting quite stale. Germany seems to be investing quite a bit in other energies just fine. https://app.electricitymaps.com/map/zone/DE/live/fifteen_min... 120GW of nameplate sol

Not sure why you are deliberately misrepresenting the proposal here. You're free to continue working the extra hours. Maybe spend a few fewer hours working and repalce it with practicing basic reading comprehension.

Anyone doing product integrations should recognize it’s a perpetual risk but why stick to the platform that will require US citizenship demands for future models especially when there are other labs with reasonably comparable performance th

Repeating trite platitudes only makes your argument sound weak and tired.

Blaming her is not the right call on this. The technology is absolutely amazing for the quality of life it’s given us, especially those with medical conditions, but the failure of technology in these scenarios can lead to hospitalization or

If you have enough money to hire lawyers or can figure out how to get in contact with a law firm willing to work with you for the exposure, sure. If you aren’t lucky enough, you’re just screwed.

With plaid they get access to all of your account numbers. HR just sees a single savings account that I strictly use for direct deposit. They don’t see my actual savings account or my other purpose-specific checking accounts.

I should have been more clear that I feel bad for the users. I don’t have much empathy for Google.

1) Apple has had a lot of functionality gated for many years. I’d buy the “they need to refine it” if they had a track record of actually opening things up without the hammer of regulation forcing them to. 2) This is a solved problem. You t

I’d happily wager any amount of money I have access to that the people actually doing the implementation of these things are among the userbase. Someone has to write the code and I doubt many people would quit their jobs over it.

It’s exhausting enough to deal with services that change around on an annual/semi-annual basis with pricing and expectations. Now the expectation is that we should tolerate goalposts being shuffled around on a weekly/daily basis

If someone is still using the “remembering IP addresses” argument in 2026 (or at any point in the 21st century), I question their technical competence in configuring a network correctly.

Fiduciary duty is fun to define because I’d bet it could be argued both ways here. If you want to consider Costco’s low margins as a core factor as to why consumers choose them, opting for a decision that makes their customer base run off w

It absolutely is silly. I’ve been responsible for managing low-thousands of Linux servers with systemd and it’s standardized a lot of things that otherwise would’ve been a lot of bespoke scripts.

Whether an appliance OS uses SystemD or not is as silly of a concern as “does the lead developer prefer cheddar or brie” What about performance characteristics? Recoverability of workloads? I’m interested in a FreeBSD base OS because it see

I agree that this is what everyone should strive to do but this quickly hits a limit. For example, IAM/S3/SQS policy evaluations can have profound impact on an application running but an abstraction wouldn’t help much here (assumi

No, the opinion section was absolutely not pushed towards libertarianism. Have you read it recently?

Agreed. AWS is downright hostile about giving you any idea about what resources you actually have deployed, to the point where it must be deliberately malicious. Even their billing page is terrible for tracing down the root cause of usage w

This reads like vague posturing instead of accepting (or even just looking at...) the reality on the ground. I have about a dozen friends spread across 8 different mid-to-high level universities around the country in biomed. Europe and Cana

There’s a size of enterprise where you can get away without PSTN integration but do need an answer for SSO and account provisioning/deprovisioning.

I unsubscribed from the News app subscription over their decision to bake in ads. I own multiple personal Mac computers, an iPhone, an Apple Watch, iPad Pro, a few HomePods, and a few Apple TV devices. I’ve already proven that I’m willing t

Again, how can you make these assertions without even knowing what these communities are?

How can you know the moderation style of the spaces I visit, when I haven't even linked them here?

It depends how you want to measure engagement and activity. Quality of discussion is something to consider. It's very difficult to have a proper discussion when all of the responses are the same expected replies to low-effort ragebait.

I'm tired of this point being repeated. This is not universally true. I'm in communities where the more active discussions are not ragebait. I'd say HN's problem is rooted in that many folks participate in malicious cont
