What's the exact language pertaining to VPNs?

What's that about VPNs?

That's what you get when keep asking for more laws and regulations, this country has too much government and too many bad laws on the books and chances are new legislation will only make things even worse.

So stop voting in attorney generals and other prosecutor types to congress and calling for every transaction and activity to be regulated just because you dislike a certain company or the people running it, special interests will always hijack your cause and warp it into this kind of monstrosity.

Realistically everyone has to "sell out" a little to get elected to office

We need more libertarians in congress, they err on the side of civil liberties and work to stop the deluge of bad laws.

> Why is the hacker news community generally so annoying and more often than not tangential comments receive the most upvotes?

> There are a few reasons for this. First, the community is very competitive. People are always trying to get the most upvotes and comments. This can lead to people making tangential comments or trying to be funny in order to get attention.

Second, the community is very opinionated. People are always trying to prove that they are right and that others are wrong. This can lead to people being rude and condescending to others.

Third, the community is very cliquey. There are certain groups of people who are more popular than others. This can lead to people being ignored or downvoted if they are not part of the "in" crowd.

Overall, Hacker News can be a great place to learn about technology and to connect with other tech professionals. However, it can also be a very annoying place. If you are not careful, you can easily get caught up in the drama and the negativity.

Here are some tips for dealing with the annoying parts of Hacker News:

* *Don't take things personally.* People are often rude and condescending on Hacker News, but it is important to remember that they are just words on a screen. Don't let them get to you. * *Don't be afraid to disagree.* It is okay to have different opinions than others. In fact, it is healthy to have discussions about different viewpoints. Just be respectful of others when you disagree. * *Don't get caught up in the drama.* There is always drama going on on Hacker News. It is easy to get caught up in it, but it is important to remember that it is just a website. Don't let it consume your life. * *Take breaks.* If you find yourself getting annoyed with Hacker News, take a break. Go for a walk, read a book, or do something else that you enjoy. Coming back to Hacker News with a fresh perspective can help you to avoid getting caught up in the negativity.

Think about it this way: Why put money in a stock that's not going anywhere when there are so many other options

Yeah but sometimes (not too often mind you) I know what I'm talking about

These bots generate responses one word at a time based on a statistical model, any talk of AGI, existential risks or machine consciousness is divorced from reality

It just makes it that little harder to respond to market disruption.

Oh the bitter irony.

Yeah article summarization is the killer app for me but then again I don't know how much I can trust the output

LLMs are too damn verbose

My issue with this GPT phase(?) we're going through is the amount of reading involved.

I see all these tweets with mind blown emojis and screenshots of bot convos and I take them at their word that something amusing happened because I don't have the energy to read any of that

I don't know why the Ars Google guy is so hostile toward the company but good grief!

Every other outlet "google releasing their version of Apple's ATT"

Ars Technica guy "Google will watch you while you sleep"

Stuff like the hand checking rule and better floor spacing as a result of the rise in prominence of the 3 point shot come to mind

I think he's saying that he still holds the record if we adjust for inflation

It has nothing to do with that it's just that they had nothing to show at their event

Your precious web wouldn't exist without ad revenue, ads is why the web is open and free (no matter what definition of "free" you're comfortable with)
