vnchr··on When did Google get so weird?
Google’s mission to “organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible” includes your emotional state.
vnchr··on LearnVector – Andrew Ng's AI company building one‑to‑one learning experiences
That would cover school breakfast and lunches for NYC Public Schools for only 3 weeks. Personally, I'd rather see investment in technologies that can give more than just one large school district a temporary improvement.

Sophisticated personalized education for the masses is finally within reach. Andrew Ng is one of the most significant leaders in ed-tech. I'm grateful that he's pursuing this venture and hopeful for the impact it could have on my family and many others.

vnchr··on Canada's bill C-22 mandates mass metadata surveillance
Imagine people you disagree with, politically and ideologically, have come into power and they intend to abuse this new capability to harm you directly. That’s where you should want to draw the line at government restraint. Expect abuse and ill will, and you’ll see where the boundaries ought to be. Even if you agree with those in power now, expect power to shift and define potential for harm on that basis.

vnchr··on Show HN: Jmail – Google Suite for Epstein files
He ordered Israeli Defense Force pants off of Amazon apparently: https://www.jmail.world/thread/a767cba6e082256743a1069708a4a...

He also ordered like 9 pairs of Crocs. He really liked the fuzzy lined Crocs: https://www.jmail.world/search?q=Crocs

vnchr··on A proposed amendment to ban under 16s in the UK from common online services
Because it gives governments authority to pick and choose which sites to ban or allow, it’s a mechanism that can accommodate political coercion and subterfuge. The platforms can now be de-platformed.

It’s no longer user-to-user websites, its user-to government-to-user.

vnchr··on Pantone Color of the Year 2026: Pantone 11-4201 Cloud Dancer
Also known as, Millennial Gray.
vnchr··on Autism Has No Single Cause. Here’s How We Know
It’s “settled science.” No need to investigate further. There’s nothing behind the curtain.

vnchr··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (August 2025)
I'm surprised that's the case, I'll ask hiring team to take a look based on your username. If it's the same username on github, then that'll help. Sorry that happened.
vnchr··on New research finds that ivermectin could help control malaria transmission
The discoverers of ivermectin shared a Nobel Prize in 2015 [0] with a discoverer of a novel malaria treatment. Interesting coincidence.

I suggest keeping an eye out. We have regular internships and positions for those out of college. For eng, we’re backfilling right now with a focus on seniors. But our general need is for contributors who can work with our stack. Our code is all public. AI code generation and skill with the frameworks we need is our general trajectory.

I gave our hiring team a heads up about this thread as a source for candidates. Could you drop a comment if you don’t get the human reply you’re expecting in a while? Really appreciate you taking an interest, and I hope that we’re showing respect to folks like you in our process.
vnchr··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (July 2025)
That’s interesting feedback about there not being a system level strategy communicated on the site. I’ll pass that along. Thanks for pointing that out.

It’s very much a system level strategy, but more by way of democratized technology as opposed to head on disruption. I asked the same questions when I joined.

We want to provide powerful technology to candidates that are not going to be supported by the two main parties. And we have some other qualifications, like not taking corporate money. The more that independent candidates can succeed and win, the more we normalize the electorate expecting something that isn’t just to two main parties. In a way, it’s the electorate that we are trying to empower by supporting viable alternatives to the current system.

I’m glad there is interest in what we’re doing. I think we are on track too, making increasing impacts and I am excited about our growing team.

vnchr··on 'If anything happens, it's not suicide': Boeing whistleblower before death
He was killed between pre-trial deposition interviews pertaining to a trial that is still upcoming.[1] One might speculate he was killed immediately after it was confirmed in a deposition that he had knowledge damaging to Boeing, and he intended to testify in that upcoming trial.

Searching is frequently a means to the end of answering some question. I find myself more often asking the question directly with both Google and chat, GPT. ChatGPT comes to mind sooner for a question that requires two or more searches.

vnchr··on X Corp. vs. Media Matters for America et al.
Would you be willing to share some specific reference or example where Elon Musk is anti-Semitic?

I invite others to comment. I have heard that claim made baselessly by some, though perhaps others can provide a firm basis.
