Large corporations will move fast and break things when it’s convenient; they don’t care much about the law - just about profit.
We talk about the behaviour of worms like C. elegans, an organism with incredibly simple behaviour and a brain that is quite understandable.
Models, or society behaves in certain way. Companies can have motive or ethics.
We use these terms broadly.
Letting kids into places where science and technology happens has such an impact. We should really enable that as much as we can.

Most landlords I've dealt with are an absolute pain to deal with when something breaks. It's often not that easy, maybe in high-cost / luxury rentals. Arguing over what is normal wear-and-tear, while knowing you cannot afford decent legal advice, and you also can't pay for the "unexpected repair" is just as bad.

Yes you can. There is no need to have everything perfect...
Edit:

If this was even close to coming even with the added cost on rent, no one would be a landlord. It's obviously a lot less than rental overhead. So people could just set that aside (or get insurance).
There is a while set of jobs in Pharma that got moved to Warsaw and no longer available in NL/DE.
Or any other dataset with a hyper targeted demographic.
Quite disappointing tbh.
Just a single example of Russia, hundreds of votes and more than a thousand comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30458277
Edit; just search for Russia, China or Iran on https://hn.algolia.com/ and you’ll find plenty of non tech stories.
In Comments
Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.
Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.
Please don't pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Find something interesting to respond to instead.
Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting.
To me as a non American, it’s an absolute cope to argue that its okay when its not due to law when the effect is the same.
It’s like someone in China arguing the censorship isn’t interesting because you and download the non-guardrailed weights.
Both absolutely post-hoc justifications why one type of censorship is better than the other.
