> just like we never cared about the 3 during the previous administration

Trying to stir up an impeachment case over the response to the first balloon is just projection as usual from the GOP.

> it shows up at the ballot box but you don't see it when you survey.

Does it really? Last Republican President to win the popular vote was 30 years ago. Longer than I’ve been alive…

> They say that the decision Congress made in 1996 to set into motion a 25-year plan to unload the reserve, in a bid to shrink government, was shortsighted and potentially detrimental to a host of industries, ranging from medical technology to rocket science.

Selling off a strategic reserve of gas that is not replaceable? Yeah, of course it’s stupid.

From an outsider perspective Pichai really does seem to be the worst CEO of the big tech bunch.

Can’t remember the last time Google came out with something remotely close to a success.

I travel because it’s the only way I can find live-able, walkable cities. America is a desolate wasteland in terms of the places that make me happy.

> It was what a majority of the most populous and important voting block wanted.

Except Trump lost the popular vote by nearly THREE MILLION.

What exactly is going on at Air Traffic Control? So many near misses and collisions lately.

Musk has absolutely no technical capability of knowing whether or not engagement is broken so your hypothetical doesn’t make sense.

A human cashier makes a mistake and doesn’t ring up an item? They’ll get reprimanded.

An AI cashier does the same and all of a sudden it’s the fault of the human and is liable for prosecution. You should know better than to steal.

Businesses looking to replace people with this can’t have it both ways.

Some have argued that Reddit was doing a cleanse of anything advertiser-unfriendly (quarantining subs, zero tolerance towards violence/anti-lgbtq+, etc) for its IPO. After these events I’d argue that OpenAI was paying them huge lumps of $$$$ to clean up the dataset that was training their LLM. Why not let unpaid moderators do the dirty work of classification and labeling?

Someone enlighten me as to what possible say a European court has regarding the merger of two US companies?

Are they planning to block Microsoft from doing business in the country? How would that not be harming gamers MORE?

Ha! Never gonna happen. Lifted truck driving concrete cowboys who live in my area get their rocks off at the stares they receive diagonally parking and taking up 2-3 spots. It’s a hobby for them.

Layoffs will forever be in the shareholder playbook as long as the market still keeps reaffirming these decisions with stock price increases.

Dang finally showing some bias. Anything like this would normally be insta deleted.

It would be a shame if any real-world decisions where made based on the validity of an opinion piece without any, and I mean ANY, substantial evidence.

I’d argue most of those 500 comments are comments wondering why in the world this wasn’t deleted/flagged instantly.

Lost a lot of respect for HN moderation with this post.

> No, it's run by a few humans.

And those humans work for HN. Hence, content moderation is run by HN.

Are CEOs of these companies just dumb?

Even I, a lowly mid-level IC, can put two and two together to figure out that the Covid streaming surge wasn’t going to last.

Where’s my MBA?

Maybe a bit pedantic but websites that prevent reader mode from accessing the full article should not be linked to on HN.

I will never live in a 5-over-1 again due to this. Sounded like an elephant was stampeding around every time the neighbor above me walked. $2400 per month for a 600 square foot studio I couldn’t even have peace and quiet in.

You’re the one who made a point about homework assignments not being printable on an ink jet printer, so you tell me.

Edit: Apologies, you weren’t OP.

Cool. Color laser jets exist.

And the person behind this is going to be the next Republican Party presidential nominee.

I hate this timeline.

Not sure why Tim Sweeney is being linked to after his self-righteous crusade against Apple App Store fees while simultaneously doing the same thing he was suing for.

His ideology is stuck in the past, and he deserves to fade to irrelevance.

And how do you know this for certain?

> I yearn for the day I can eat outside at the restaurants in my neighborhood without that disturbance.

I had the unfortunate displeasure of eating at a downtown restaurant in California’s Central Valley during a family visit on a Friday evening and every 5 minutes conversation would be interrupted by a lifted diesel truck revving their engines while they cruise up and down the streets. Same trucks. Up and down the street. All dinner long.

It’s an impossible situation that will only be solved by these individuals being treated like the children they are and having their vehicles impounded until the modifications are scheduled to be removed.

They didn’t need to bring the balloon down at all. I guarantee every piece of circuitry being carried was fried as soon as it entered Alaska.

> Rules for thee but not for me

Don’t forget that most Red states pay homeless people’s travel expenses to go to California.
