If I loan you 10 dollars at 50% interest rate and then you use the 10 dollars to buy a product I am selling and you proceed to make $11 billion dollars with that product, you just made $11 billion dollars from $10 investment and I made $5 - not bad

EU is not a country :)

2026 equivalent of “my Mama told me”

nothing stopping you from doing that

> To be clear we operate a representative and stable democracy in the United States.

We most certainly do not, the system is just nicely setup to make us believe that this is the case. In 2020 for instance, we were given an amazing choice to choose between a senile grandpa and the most vile and corrupt human being ever to walk the earth. all us elections boil down to this, the establishment decides who their 'best one' is at any given time and you get to choose A vs. B. there isn't a single other country on the planet where this is the case that calls itself a democracy. it is one step removed from china and russia, we just get one more choice than they do :)

yup, we need trillion bucks in capex to run HN so no compliants from me, I love HN

I would not say astonishingly as most people are full-on addicted to these platform and addictions are hard to kick, but definitely doable (9 years for me)

no database user has drop rights - very easily enforced

all schema changes should always be addition only

Not China’s fault but Biden’s :)

I would not use Grok if it paid me per token… wild wild stuff…

Sure - if we were banana republic (which we may be or becoming...)

First, that is not an actual statute and second exactly what "evidence" is my phone, evidence of what exactly?

They won't unless you are already on "their list" My phone basically looks like a burner phone, I do not use social media, do not install apps, my iphone fits (with room to spare) all "apps" on a "single page." I just call and text from my phone and have a browser and maps and that is basically it.

Can you provide a statute number for this crime please? Any federal or even state statute will do

> They were going to catch him for something, some day. This incident just provided the necessary excuse to lock him up

funny reading this (don't disagree) and then also reading on HN how China is "bad" this is some gestapo shit but not surprising that it is getting normalised ...

no company will reject revenue :)

was joking but there are (way too many) “agentic” things at Unis already (Virginia Tech, MIT…)

while i might not have written it, i used my masters in prompt engineering to carefully guide its creation :)

> This guy says less than politicians do.

This is a good thing cause all politicians lie all the time :)

not a chance even if this number goes to 40,000

might simply be is exactly right, very unlikely… and knowing what you know and have seen since Jan of 2025 you know how slim that “might” is

Mom & Dad’s $$$ :)

every good team I was ever on used this line of thinking during the hiring process. we whiteboard a problem we worked on in the past and discuss it with the candidate and look for anyone whose thinking about the problem raised our eyebrows!

This is roughly the same as putting a group of random people and telling them to think outside the box which in my experiences never yields much of thinking outside of the box

eh why would you check the source, who bother with minor things like that these days :)

they are good enough for 89.56% of ChatGPT users

actual translation - time to bring another envelope to mar-a-largo, elections are approaching :)

enlighten us please, been awhile since I’ve taken Gov course at the Uni

elect people that care
