We indeed DO live IN A SOCIETY

Thus

People are the ones that make the world a place to live in.

Thanks for your insightful reflection.

That only happens if you are very selective with the dates you choose. This is no different than white supremacists saying the Holocaust did not happen because technically the jewish poplation grew.

Its dishonest.

Its disgusting.

Its a stain on judaism, killing more than 20 000 children intentionally, and having snipers killing babies on their mothers arms.

That is the "racist conspiracy theory", and is enacted by a bunch of people that do not deserve to call themselves jewish because they truly do not understand the sacred scriptures.

This is just dishonest weaselly and sleazy. Most experts agree this is a genocide even if it was not the evidence is clear. From: https://resourcecentre.savethechildren.net/document/tortured... "“Tortured”: The Escalating Abuse of Palestinian Children in Israeli Military Detention

"the escalating abuse of Palestinian children in Israeli military detention, highlighting widespread violations of international humanitarian and human rights law. "

Drawing on research involving detained children, caregivers, social workers, and lawyers, the brief documents severe physical, psychological, and sexual abuse, including torture, solitary confinement, deprivation of food and medical care, and denial of legal protections.

No one is vilifying a group of people more than you are.

You prefer to say "HAMAS uses child soldiers" instead of telling the truth which is, if a bunch of khazars from Eastern Europe, if a bunch of guys from Poland, if a bunch of guys from Pennsylvania, came to your home, burned it, raped your little sister, and killed your parents how would you act ? Wouldn't you enlist in a cause against it ? Were the 16 year old guys fighting for George Washington child soldiers or do you offer some more nuance to them ? Were the child saboteurs that acted against nazis also "child soldiers" ?

The truth is that Israelis are mostly a stain on judaism and make me ashamed of being jewish. They do not know my laws, they do not respect my scripture and they are simply evil.

"The people who make such charges are absolutely doing it to create the environment where they can commit atrocities." The ones commiting atrocities are Zionists, lmao you can use google maps and check by yourself dude.

"HAMAS publicly admits such things.", in the past at least you could have been a coward and shield on the fact Zionists did not admit it publicly. However you can fucking go to Ben Gavir's twitter and see he admits to even worse crimes.

"That's why such speech is treated how it is." No it is treated that way because zionists are cowards that were never taught to face the consequences of their actions, and want to blame antisemitism on everyone, except themselves, when they have skinned judaism and want to use its corpse as costume.

You are being pretty sleazy about what protected categories mean, it does not mean that you will get prosecuted for criticizing it.

Those crazy libertarians and weird urbanists that criticized disabled parking spots, have not been shoved in the back of an unmarked van for writing about it in small magazines.

Yet when students write against zionist genocide in small college magazines they get threatened, and shoved in unmarked vans. No need for dishonesty.

Funny how American authorities did not do much about "antifa" and A/I and only acted once it was clear they were going against Zionist interests...

This is shameful and the Dutch should be also ashamed to act as lap dogs.

I wholeheartedly agree, I think the US should replicate the Canadian model, NOT in numbers, BUT in the way open work permits and even closed ones create some friction towards abusive practices.

Although better enforcement is needed and no current system is good for this yet.

Re:US Suspends Visa Program for Tech Firms Including Microsoft on Thursday October 08, 2026 @04:00PM (#50011266)
Considering how many of these adds have more than a hundred of local applicants, and still end up hiring people that are not from North America it is quite clear they do not intend to follow the intent of the law.

Let's be honest they want a captive workforce that depends upon them to stay in the USA and build a life.

There has to be a better way to does not make them captive, and allows Americans to be the first ones, and even after that the priority should be people in North America, even International students.

But the fact they keep hiring mostly and overwhelmingly people from the same five countries that are desperate to come to the USA is an indication these companies are profiting formt he desperation of people.

You're interpretation is selectively literal in order to be rhetorical.

Where do you think you are ?

Most of us are in tech/IT/research the population in the spectrum here is orders of magnitude bigger than the avg on real life. SO yeah people will be literal in order to be rhetorical. Not even selectively, this is the one site where you NEED to use /s unironically.

Oh it looks like I can finally reply here.

>"When you leave the relevant 'Help improve the model' toggle on, everyone working at the labs says it isn't used in the way you imagine"

I have personally deactivated that toggle on multiple occasions and for some reason it keeps getting toggled on, as a matter of fact you can find multiple posts by people from here describing the same behaviour both with OpenAI and Anthropic.

>"The data wasn't used, it just does not line up with the time frame."

Except it does it lines very much so to the point is unbelievable to call this a coincidence,

specially

since OpenAI approached "New York University professor Tristan Buckmaster publicly accused OpenAI of trying to steal credit and pressure him into dropping his research partner." If he was lying about this he could be sued for a lot of money, this just makes it clear they got the solution probably form their research (or where well close enough) and did not want anthropic to have the credit.

>"You can believe whatever you want, but it's simply nonsense, and I find it wild how you all talk as if OpenAI just stole the work."

These people were caught red handed stealing form hundreds of authors and from APPLE they did not care about stealing from one of the biggest companies in the PLANET, do you think they care about stealing from Mathematicians ?

>"According to the latest reports, OpenAI has already made significant progress on further Millenium problems, and perhaps more results will soon follow. Maybe that can convince you that the model has the capability to solve these problems without a need for stealing work from chat inputs."

They would have cleared their name already if they could, if they could they would but there is excessive evidence Altman and the company itself are not decent people.

Answering here because it does not let me reply to your second comment.

but you said and I quote here verbatim:

>Francesca Albanese does from the looks of it appear to be fairly antisemitic as well, they have made many statements indicating they believe many common antisemitic conspiracy theories at a minimum in addition to statements that appears to be justifying terrorism.

lmao no she does not she reported a well substantiated set of claims and provided plenty of evidence. Sadly some Jewish individuals and entities, mainly Zionists tarnish the rest of us jews. But no, telling the truth about bloodthirsty Zionists is not antisemitism. It stopped being "muh cunspirucy thiory" when it became clear how much they loved and worked with Epstein.

Re:Manus will return to operating as an independent company on Tuesday August 11, 2026 @01:41PM (#49261760)
This is an awfully naive view of the Chinese government, they are clearly not stupid and after seeing what Meta did with thing with Outlier it is clear they will not let the founders out of their grip for quite a while
That would imply two things:

One> An executive has to care about a cost center, then proceeds to invest in prevention instead of looking like a hero after, instead of putting off a fire an getting a promotion or bonus. Which is nigh impossible.

Two> Our tech overlords try to push for our cyberpunk present to at least look kinda cool. Which they also refuse todo.

It usually does not unless you happen to be the ribcage of an Aztec warrior
I love technology but having to give money to google and apple should not be a reason with stop people from doing things that CLEARLY don't need technology.

Also that is not what luddite means, like come on even in the bastardization of the term, he is not precisely smashing the ticketing machines, he is just an old guy don't be such a redditor with this senior.

Re:Apple Business on Tuesday March 24, 2026 @08:34PM (#47511615)
It really depends on the context and the context within the context. I used to manage a medium sized IT firm in Colombia on a hybrid manner.

One of our biggest clients had a sort of high end boutique set of businesses and two bigger businesses that interacted quite more with the regular public.

For the high end boutiques he asked us ONLY and ONLY to use mac's both because down there they are synonym of "prestige and class" and because the (very attractive) women that he hired for most roles were only familiar, or preferred mac's and were consumer's exclusively of apple's walled garden.

We had a bunch of customers like that, the real issue is that if this were on place I would have made it an option for my clients, eventually some things like security or software may move a significant number of users there, specially after the new mac mini, the neo and the ma air become budget options compared to a lot of what microsoft is offering in latam and some parts of Europe.

Hi sorry do you have the code for this I have been delaying to work on something like this but would love to use this as boilerplate.
It is a massive observation of how things look already no more, no less.

>In no world would I ever have put together a real cast and crew to remake a 15 year old inside joke video for Googlers, but I was able to make it with AI.

BUT IT DID !! and part of the charm is that this involved real people talking, mutual understanding and a shared culture. That world existed it can still exist unless we surrender to the depravity of conformity and comfortability.

Dang are we back to the years of the "Thanks Obama" I guess we truly live at the end of history and have no option but to rehash the classics, don't we ?
Re:Ask HN: Are YC startups *actually* hiring? on Tuesday January 28, 2025 @02:49PM (#42857037)
I would like to assume that I am a good candidate I usually get calls back from even LinkedIn posts or even indeed, but after well applying to more than two hundred offerings on the who is hiring posts in this place, and only having had been called twice. I can assure you that the ones here usually are not hiring and at best just want a rooster of possible replacements for their current employees. Most notable offender is mixrank, I know more than twenty people that have applied to no avail, even people with more than 22 years of experience and very fancy titles.
It seems like you have misread my comment and think I have a particular thing against any group of people.

That is simply not the intention of the comment, if you read correctly you will note that what I meant is that you need to take care of your own people, something that the United States ACCOMPLISHED from the fifties until before Reagan.

I am just not more native than an Indian or Italian person that just like me came a few decades ago. However to pretend there is no difference between me and someone whose family has been here for decades or centuries... that is dishonest.

Why do you call Xenophobia to prioritize giving good jobs to the local population ? It seems like your reading comprehension as well as your definition of Xenophobia is deeply, deeply flawed. We can have immigration that makes sense. Like what Canada used to have...

We should prioritize those that have been for decades in a country and those whose families have paid taxes for multiple generations, there is absolutely nothing xenophobic about that.

It is kind of disingenuous and dishonest to say that there is no value or meaning on those Americans born in American soil, a nation should prioritize the people that live on it or well at least care for them and make them useful for nation building in the future.

Canada has proven that importing punjabis for almost two decades and ignoring the local people is not effective. So yeah there is a meaningful difference and saying native born in this context allows us to steer the conversation towards taking care towards those in the country already, which is something that neolib governments have not done in the last decades.

I say this as a person that was not born in the country he resides in now, but saying "calling yourself "native born" doesn't mean a thing " is a dishonest way to try to dissuade and delete necessary words that work towards more fruitful conversatons about how to improve th esytems in North America.

Re:FTC bans hidden junk fees in hotel, event ticket prices on Tuesday December 17, 2024 @06:51PM (#42446739)
I well mm used to like reason a while ago but this is laughable. The article does not show how or explain why or in which manner she affects consumers.

It says that she has been bad for them but there is no proof of this.

Instead it makes quite a comical attempt at trying to vaguely point at the sky and say she is evil or overreaching, but she is not and anyone whoa actually wants a free market can tell you that. I honestly just cannot understand what happened to Reason I checked some more or their side articles and wow the quality has dropped to a level that would make the NYT blush.
