Completely agree with you. It's stopped being a calm discussion of the pros, cons, neither, and implications of emerging technology, and started being "us vs them" football team fans shouting at each other, but it really feel

They have no interest in that, they came from god knows where and want to mangle HN and turn it into some kind of weird neo-luddite doomer forum. HN is a forum made by angel investors for entrepreneurs, startups and hackers. We like technol

They're absolutely doing this as a hedge against litigation, and given the trillion dollar lawsuits flying around, it's hard for me to blame them. Regulation by litigation rather than law creates ambiguous legal precedents that ma

Why do you want to add friction to teens having a creativity tool that can help them learn and build things? I don't know what kind of kid you were, but as a kid I would have loved access to my own 24/7 polymath, it would have bee

Are you being sardonic, or can you seriously not tell the difference in harm between smoking cigarettes and Claude? I genuinely don't understand how you can survive in the world with a risk assessment system this damaged.

Kids do all of this stuff anyways, making it illegal doesn't stop it from happening. But we're not talking about a product that kills its users, we're talking about a polymath that can help its users build and create things.

HN has a lot of Ruby posts because it was, and still is, a really good language and ecosystem for making web applications, and most of the companies at the time were web startups. It's a solid language, still one of the better ones for

Why don't you try doing some work that's actually useful for someone else, instead of just endlessly, ceaselessly posting junk on a web site you don't even like? Are you surprised that nobody wants to pay you to do this? Prov

It's better than siting on a web site dedicated to technological development you don't like and complaining. Why are you surprised you got laid off? Go do something with your life.

Instead of just rejecting the future like a Roman fatalist because you've decided that it's just going to be someone else controlling you, maybe a better plan is to adopt emerging technology when it comes into play (like for examp

I fell off the OSS ideological wagon around the same time, and probably for the same reason. When he was running Gittip (which was actually working to pay indie OSS developers), there was a horde of political extremists that were fighting e

It's easy to blame evil companies for attempting to monetize OSS, it's harder to accept that a lot of the reason for more company focused OSS is that indie OSS devs were historically treated poorly, not just by companies but also

Immigrants are statistically less likely to commit crimes than naturalized Americans, and are far more likely to start companies and be entrepreneurs. Legal immigration is great and we should allow more people to come to the county, via exp

This is the second time in this thread you have accused me of being a paid Trump employee for having a different opinion than you.

I voted for Harris, she was a far more competent candidate. Not everybody that thinks crime should be illegal and that you shouldn't be able to just walk randomly across country borders to live in another country without their knowledg

Great question: Going over 30KM/h over the speed limit in a non-highway zone (red ticket) in Japan is a criminal offense: it goes to court, there is a criminal record filed, they can suspend or revoke your driver’s license, and it can

As terrible as the current US policy system is, a really good sanity check for any policies like this is "would you be able do this in Japan": If you drove a car drunk and it turned into a police chase, would Japan be okay with it

It's also an exploit. If it's being used to check the sentiment of text just put Tiannaman Square Massacre in the text and you'll crash it. This is a brilliant achievement but it's hard to see how any country that doesn&

Hell is living in a place where you have a 1 in 70 chance of being a victim of a violent crime per year, and being gaslit by extremely co-dependent people into having more empathy for narcissist sociopaths than their traumatized innocent vi

This sounds a little far fetched, but my current hypothesis is that Americans have developed a co-dependent attachment disorder on a societal level around sociopaths that transcends ideology, whether they are certain presidential candidates

HN won't let me update this comment for some reason, so I'll just add this here: The real issue here is that the web is becoming increasingly centralized, which means that we're becoming more dependant on the internal process

I've had one incident that was very similar to this (DDoS raiding forum proxied through Cloudflare staging an attack against our servers). When I reported it, they said they had informed the attackers of my report, which is sortof like
