Exactly. I'm somewhat surprised someone's give-a-damn wasn't broken enough to do a cursory filter. Not like it isn't plainly obvious in other statistics, however.

As odd as this sounds, and as odd as the world gets, I still find a small comfort in the fact that there is enough stability in this world that I can count on one thing: someone always accusing a blog post on HN as being AI generated. Never

They never have and feel they are above reproach. Anytime Altman opens his mouth that's apparent. It's for the good of humanity dontcha know. LOL

Exactly! How dare you have access to their stolen content in the midst of them doing the same.

As someone who holds a degree in Medicine besides his degree in Computer Science and works in medical devices, can I just please emphasise that QA should exist in this industry and is well deserved? Sorry. No 'blue screens' or st

I live and work in the DMV. I get it. Doesn't change my point.

As an American taxpayer who has a twenty-five year decade long career in IT this concerns me. Doesn't surprise me in the least but concerns me. Yet you see this waste and take to HN instead of reporting the waste and abuse via channe

With Trump at the helm, yes. However; with that being said, the rot and decay has been festering long before Trump came into power. The issue is that most average Americans don't know how far they have fallen. One day, a great very m

Yep. Everything about his body language screams, "I'm doing something slimy and I know it, but here, listen to these words spoken authoritatively whilst I wave my hands around and forget about it." Pay no attention to the man

MacOS has its warts and 'unpolish' as well, as it also gets viruses despite what Apple may want you to believe.

I get that and it makes sense. What distinguishing features does it have that keeps you coming back to Brave that, say, Edge or Chrome or even Firefox doesn't bring? I ask because most of the items you listed could be accomplished in

I need someone to explain to me, at length, at some point in my life the value proposition of Brave and what it brings to the table that other browsers do not. For example, most of the key differentiators of Brave could be accomplished simi

Funny. In my five+ decades on this planet, I seem to find the right more apt and eager to employ 'thuggish authoritarian attempts' -- akin to my time growing up in East Germany. But now being in America for over a decade it'

WhatsApp I can buy due to the communication factor, but Instagram you're really going to have to sell me on fitting into the category of 'critical for daily functioning'. Instagram. Critical to life. Naah.

100% this. I'd love to have some of these features in eyewear, but there is no way in hell I purchase anything like this from Meta. Less those bastards get of anything I control (data, finances, time) the better.

Which is, of course, flat out unacceptable on many levels. However; it seems to me some of these institutions could band together and pool resources both legal, financial, and otherwise to give something of a stronger defense than one alone

Sad to see such a great and distinguished institution 'bend the knee' to the Pumpkin Spice Palpatine in this manner. UC Berkeley used to have such fight in it.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing that. I'll keep the small "i" in mind as well. :)

Wow. Illumos / Solaris is still kicking, eh? Really too bad Solaris didn’t stick around and was so horribly mismanaged by Sun. Solaris and Vax/VMS is where I started my career decades ago, and still brings back memories.

Preach. This has got to be the most user-blind self-imposed preference in a modern operating system outside of Microsoft's BS. If you're going to use an OSS operating system, the control of what is placed on the system should be i

Never usually is with Musk and his platforms. Both X and Tesla's software stack clearly show this readily. He has other purposes in mind.

As someone who straddles two fields (CS and Healthcare) and has careers/degrees in both -- the grass isn't always greener on the other side. This could be said about most jobs in the 21st century these days in any career field giv
