Freedom2··on US holds off blacklisting DeepSeek, more than 100 firms deemed security risks
I wonder about your last point. Certainly there's an aspect of education that Asia values more, however by the US own metrics, they are number 1 in terms of education outcomes.
Freedom2··on Lore – Open source version control system designed for scalability
I ended up writing my own layer over git for permissions for a specific client a long time ago. It has a huge amount of useful features - sadly, I never took the idea further.
Freedom2··on Kirkland Roundabouts
Talking to my American colleagues, they're often perplexed by roundabouts and don't really understand how they fundamentally work. They're also incredibly stubborn when it comes to convincing them that it helps with traffic flow immensely versus a 4 way stop sign.
Freedom2··on Stanford grads walk out on Google CEO Sundar Pichai speech
Which part of the title indicates that everyone walked out? I assumed it was merely some of the cohort.
Freedom2··on Statement on US government directive to suspend access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5
Can you share any of these serious thinkers?
Freedom2··on Apple WWDC 2026
Curious how this trait is American? Is there something about the way Americans speak that is fake?
Freedom2··on AI sticker shock hits corporate America
I have friends who work at both large and small companies, as well as startups, and more often than not this is the case. Surprisingly, those who work at a YC startup face the PIP quite regularly for not enough token usage.
Freedom2··on AWS Fired the One Employee Who Gave a Damn
> Is there still grammar police on the Internet, calling out people for making grammatical mistakes in their writing?

This is one of the last places on the internet that actually has grammar police, as commenters here have a desire to be technically correct in all aspects.

Freedom2··on Declining America
I spoke to a few HNers who I know flagged this post. They mentioned that they flagged it because it goes against the HN guidelines - a holy grail of sorts - and that the post does not invite "curious discussion". When prompted, they mentioned they would much rather read about pro-Musk technological exploits than anything against the US.
Freedom2··on I’ve joined Anthropic
Why is this title not editorialized like others when it's ambiguous?
Freedom2··on Elon Musk has lost his lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI
I wonder if a more "hardcore" team, by his words, would have handled this legal case better?
Freedom2··on Tesla Solar Roof is on life support as it pivot to panels
As someone who owns a Solar Roof, this news is disappointing. Many of my friends have said it's the best roof they've ever seen, and I even sometimes get compliments from people who drive past.
Freedom2··on Bill to block publishers from killing online games advances in California
I don't see a problem? As a hacker and HN poster, I believe the free market will determine the value of a game. If it's not economically feasible anymore to make games for under $5, the market will adjust.
Freedom2··on Meta's New Reality: Record High Profits. Record Low Morale
Interesting. Could you elaborate on any specifics for this claim?
Freedom2··on Operation: Epic Furious
It's generally not curious discussion however, which is a pillar of this community.
Freedom2··on Tesla is recalling its cheaper Cybertruck because the wheels might fall off
I currently own 5 luxury vehicles and have ridden in a Cybertruck, and the Cybertruck is so far below in terms of quality it makes me question what luxury features you see in it.
Freedom2··on Cloudflare to cut about 20% workforce
Well how can they have the time or resources to invest in retaining talent? They're busy hiring more interns, where one could be an "attention all you need" research paper writer, who could set up the next stage of innovation which you'll completely miss if you do not get anyone.
Freedom2··on Utah senator smacks ABC reporters phone out of hand amid Data Center controversy
I'm just glad that this can never happen in America thanks to our constitution!
Freedom2··on AI slop is killing online communities
The comments that aren't grammatically correct get pedantically corrected by those HNers too, so that's nice.
Freedom2··on AI slop is killing online communities
I generally disagree, because the level of discourse here has always been very high, curious and intellectual.
Freedom2··on Update on "Co-authored-by: Copilot" in commit messages
Definitely. Can you imagine the kind of world we'd live in if we had to sign each message with each product we used?

This message brought to you by Xfinity Internet.

Freedom2··on Two millionth electric car registered as market rebounds from tax changes
Curious as to why American EVs never took off. The US is the most advanced country technologically and has the greatest soft power in history to make deals.
Freedom2··on It's official: Utah is the U.S. state closest to banning VPNs
Must be the confident free speech.
Freedom2··on Trump fires NSF's oversight board
People on this site would literally say "actually you can't do this" as they're being taken away to somewhere to never be heard from again.
Freedom2··on Trump fires NSF's oversight board
Are they initiating or continuing curious discussion? If so, then by all means they are following the most important HN guidelines so nothing can really be done.
Freedom2··on Why Japan has such good railways
I sometimes see the US referred to as a "post-rail" society, meaning that it has outgrown the need for rail for the more intimate, personal transportation methods we see today. I submit that, like other HN commenters say, the US doesn't need rail due to this society. How will US citizens help their friends move or do their large (in terms of volume) Costco grocery shopping without large trucks and only using rail?
Freedom2··on xAI has Released Grok 4.3 (beta)
I'm in the same boat. Much like Elon has also promised, I'm also using my Tesla as a robo taxi when I'm not in it myself, having it earn passive income for me has been a massive success.
Freedom2··on U.S. set to launch tariff refund system on April 20
This forum told me that other countries would pay the tariffs for the end customer. Was that incorrect, and if so, how could this forum get it wrong? What other confidently stated truths could also be wrong?
Freedom2··on Atlassian defends firing engineer for suggesting CEO is 'rich jerk'
With the one caveat that Australia doesn't have free speech. It's the one thing that sets the US apart and ahead of others.
Freedom2··on The Rise of the Em-Dash in Hacker News Comments
A reminder that according to the HN guidelines, there's no need to use underscores or other annotations to emphasize words.
