I can certainly do that, and I can see how my comment came across as unnecessarily harsh. I just want to be clear that my issue was with the reasoning, not the position, and not the individual.
Not to mention, as has been said many times before, there isn't much incentive to build out manufacturing in the US when its trade policy is constantly shifting at the whims of one person. Businesses need stability, and this President delivers the opposite.
On the contrary, you haven't explained why discoverability matters, or why any of us should care. You just take it as a given that it justifies the means. I believe that is what the poster above is pointing out.
This makes as much sense as the notion of "crony communism," which is to say, it doesn't. Ignoring the harmful side effects of an economic system makes one an ideologue.
Blue collar workers have understood this for a long time, and even occasionally took up arms against their employers. It's the white collar folks who are just starting to figure this out.
I think this bubble makes sense. Any investor who believes AI is the future--that is, that AI will disrupt entire industries and replace labor in quite a few ways--must have a slice of the AI pie. They know full well that most of their AI investments will go bust, but that doesn't matter as long as they have a significant piece of one of the few companies left standing when the bubble bursts. So they take shots at anything that looks like it could be one of those survivors. When it all pops, they will have some of the winners and they will write off the losers.
Are you in favor of HN allowing advertisements, shilling, or spam in these threads? Because those things are free speech. Would you like to allow comments about generic ED pills?
I simply don't believe people who say they want to support a culture of free speech on a media or social media site. They haven't really thought about what that means.
The "malice" part of the razor is bait. People typically act out of self-interest, not malice. That's why anyone who parrots Hanlon's Razor has already lost; they fell for the false dichotomy between malice and incompetence, when self-interest isn't even offered as an explanation.
Yep, "Hanlon's Razor" is pseudo-intellectual nonsense. It sets up a false dichotomy between two characteristics, neither of which is usually sufficient to explain a bad action.
They will think this right up until these things affect them or their community. Then it will be someone else's fault--someone outside of their tribe--that it happened.
This offers nothing insightful or useful, and doesn't even address a fundamental problem. It's the sort of thing someone says when they don't understand a topic well enough to weigh in, but they still feel impelled to weigh in.
It could be stable in the US. The basic idea behind Keynesian economics is: during contractions, decrease taxes and increase spending; during expansions, increase taxes and decrease spending. Doing this helps smooth out business cycles, promotes steady growth, and collects revenue for the government.
The problem is, as we've seen, our government is cutting taxes and raising spending no matter where we are in the business cycle. That's a very easy problem to solve, if there is the political will, but right now, there isn't.
A lot of people don't understand that collecting data is actually expensive and difficult when it doesn't involve surreptitiously stealing it via some piece of tech.
If only you were just giving them your own data. In reality, you're giving them data about your friends, relatives, and coworkers without their consent. Let's stop pretending there is any way to opt out by simply not using these companies' services; it isn't true.
