My experiences and observations of the moderation on HN is that there doesn’t usually seem to be an unreasonable response to real people trying to engage in a genuine manner.
If you are a real person trying to show something that you made, I wouldn’t worry about getting permanently banned without recourse and just post again, sometimes mistakes happen.
First time I’ve seen this take, but man it rings true.
I remember having teachers in middle school who seemed draconic to me in their emphasis on proper grammar and punctuation, however as an adult I’m lucky to read an email that contains paragraphs, much less proper punctuation.
Times are changing, and it’s up to the individual to decide how they want to respond to it
Personally I'm not in the habit of printing and eating articles I read, but in the unlikely event that I did I find it even less likely that I would be concerned with its' nutritional content. (/s)
It’s wild how different things are at different levels over time. When I started about 8 years ago, any technical skills and experience on your resume / LinkedIn would have recruiters reaching out non-stop. That died out over the last 3 years and I didn’t have anyone reaching out for jobs. Recently I updated my profile to state I’m a staff engineer and suddenly I’m getting messages like nothing ever happened. Senior engineer? Maybe one recruiter every 3 months.
Another excellent legal statement from The Mafia /s
Aside from the obvious joke, I feel like a lot of people miss that you can pursue BOTH civil and criminal cases for a given crime. If a billionaire murders your spouse you absolutely can sue them for wrongful death. That doesn't preclude them to also going to jail for 20+ years.
Google, who has invested in their own hardware supply chain and is already solvent in their own right, seems to be best positioned to force the other players to implement SOTA optimizations in their product offerings.
The institutions we force on our children often closely mirror the institutions we implement for ourselves. Conversely, the institutions we go through as children mold our perceptions of how they should appear in adulthood.
As we can see by this thread… It’s heavily debated as to whether the intentions we should be following are those of long-dead forbears, or the will of the people, and in the latter, which people.
I'm not sure why this comment is dead. I don't really agree with what is stated here, mainly because I lack any faith in the critical thinking skills of most people mentioned in this post. But the comment itself is a statement of personal belief, does not contain any threats, isn't structurally inflammatory or otherwise presenting as being opposed to civil discussion.
Vouched the comment, anyone who feels differently feel free to correct me as I'm genuinely interested in why this comment is dead.
I really like your solution. Have you considered making connections with well connected individuals and potentially making small compromises on your products integrity to appeal to the people who would make this a legislated standard across the board?
Or perhaps golfing at the right clubs to make it a defacto industry standard like ID.me seems poised to become?
I hate seeing stuff like this once and then never again due to people who are capable of making something this… Good being unable to “play the game” or whatever optimize to break the social-moral glass ceiling for a given problem space.
