> He owned four cab licenses in Portland. Then Uber came in and shredded his retirement plan.

I am sorry for your friend, but not for him losing out on his rent seeker plans.

> Supporters of the plan included presidential candidates Barack Obama, ...

I still don't get why the democratic Obama government didn't handle that the way Sweden handled a similar situation in the 90s:

1. Nationalize the bankrupt banks.

2. Get them in order.

3. Sell them and collect the profits.

I mean, it couldn't be that Obama and/or the democratic party was corrupt and just gave away tax payer money for no reason?

Edit: It was Bush 2 who gave away the money. The then (democratic) presidential candidate Obama supported it, though: https://web.archive.org/web/20080925154355/https://www.foxbu...

I agree. Please let Reddit die already.

Just before I stopped using, some stranger messaged me (in the same language) and offered to sell me video sex with a young person.

Reddit has become a prostitution platform.

Do you see anyone here arguing that journalistic reports should be biased by personal opinion? You're making quite some leaps there.

Both parts of that sentence stand on their own.

How do you feel that omitting the first part changes the meaning of the second part?

Also: please take a moment to read the HN guidelines on comments.

It's a German newspaper that has relatively recently been caught publishing nonsense about foreign competitors to German companies.

I first focused on adding relevant context. Also; not your monkey.

He comes out as a crypto bro. Interesting move.

Let's generate more nuclear energy.

My 80+ mom still doesn't get hamburger menus in e.g. bank apps even though I've explained them a few times. They are obviously a discoverability fail.

Meanwhile she's surprisingly proficent at using Google and the mobile web non-logged in/preview version of Facebook to read gossip from the village she lives in, sometimes in very creative ways due to limitations FB put up for anonymous browsers. (She refuses to get a Facebook account.)

No undiscoverable hamburger menus involved in the navigation sequence above. I think Google and FB get it.

And South Africa the no 1 space power, I guess. SpaceX was founded by someone from there.

Please remember; Eric is very open to both the positives and the negatives. But do keep in mind the negatives.

Also, did you know that french nuclear power plants sometimes are taken down for maintenance. That seems super sketchy, doesn't it?

This f*****g thread.

I really thought HN was smarter than that french anti-nuclear college kid trying so very hard to appear super vague/undecided... but still clearly anti. Guess not.

Oh no!

"as someone living near a plant"

My first 18 years: I lived 45 km from a nuclear power plant.

It helped me getting interested in physics because of some in hindsight exceptionally well performed guest lectures from a physicist working there, in grades 7-8.

GG?

"I am not against nuclear power" - this is litterally the calling card of a tactical hit, forum-wise. It very obviously means the opposite of what it says.

I generally look at how people perceive things like this as an IQ test. At the moment the HN visitors upvoting/downvoting things in this thread have failed my baseline IQ test.

How I wish all presumably well-intentioned but badly informed and ill-educated people who very often seem to have.. let's say, bad luck when thinking would just stop trying to spread their gospel via forums in this destructive way. Looking at you, vaguely-informed "friends of the planet".

It was said, but not by employees, since OpenAI has a much lower percentage of very well-paid political activists on their staff.

Afaik Twitter still has one office left in India so there is some leverage against local directors etc.

Twitter Inc. has shut two of its three India offices ...

Musk haters^Wcritics: Do you think Twitter instead should block India?

Agreed, that makes this scenario a lot less likely.

> A supposed glitch in the popular “Found My iPhone” app has been directing random strangers to the home of an unsuspecting Texas dad at all hours of the day, falsely accusing him of stealing their electronic devices. [...] he’s been visited by close to a dozen irate people over the past few years, telling him that their missing phone had last pinged at his address.

He wouldn't be the first dad to be totally unaware of what his shithead kid(s) is/are up to.
