>Instead of plotting to kill the CEO of some healthcare company, he found a solution to his problem instead.

invoking "bootstraps" unironically in this exact, specific context is one of the dumbest fucking things I've ever, ever seen

it's a made up word for a bullshit concept we'll be free of very soon; many of us already live our lives free of such trifles

the type of asocial reprobate that can be found inside a McDonalds between 6 and 10 AM is absolutely not representative of broader society in any way

>enemies of the west, freedom, and democracy

This rhetoric makes you look like a teenager who watches too many Marvel movies

sounds like your time is worthless

Impossible to estimate the amount of damage the runaway real estate market has done to competitiveness, innovation, and entrepreneurship in the interest of funnelling more free money to entitled landlords sitting on their asses cashing rent checks

Heckin' wholesome news: Eglin Air Force Base revealed as the most HN addicted city!

>People who live in a lot of African countries don't play much of a role in deciding what their governments do.

Holy fuck, are you saying this as someone who lives in the UNITED STATES? Incredible

little did we know that all it would take to cure cancer was $2000 in store credit to Google But Sometimes It Lies (Professional™ Edition)

If anything LLMs have delayed AGI by a decade by rerouting massive amounts of funding and attention away from promising areas and into stochastic parrots

for every tier that costs 10x more than the previous, they add a "very" to the "You are a very, very, very smart AI"

Did you read the post you're replying to? It's very short. He was paying for top-tier service, and now, despite paying the same amount, has become a second-class customer overnight.

Crafting of US legislation has absolutely no basis in efficacy or data, it's entirely driven by the news cycle. Something attention grabbing (like a Mandalay) happens, something extremely specific from the headlines but largely secondary to enabling the actual crime (like bump stocks) are banned, then the whole thing is forgotten about
