Elon Musk is launching Grokipedia this week as a competition to Wikipedia.
I'm sure the support from MongoDB Atlas is the worst in the market. It's really messed up that they could flip a switch and kill your production, even after you specifically told them not to. PostgreSQL is a far better database than MongoDB.

still, Germany arrests citizens for calling a politician an idiot.
That’s for now. Look at what they did in Brazil—they banned the use of VPNs and threatened anyone using one with jail time.
Waiting for the docker install option.

No! we should trust the government and the corporations to guide us to the truth.

Informed individuals prefer not to have corporations shield them from potential misinformation.
The foolish move by the German government to close down all the nuclear reactors. The German government is weird.
My main issue with Firefox is the unavailability of a decent profile switching. I know there's some hacky way to get the profile system done, but it is not comparable with Chrome's current profile-switching

Greta is not pro-nukes. Most of the environment activists are not.
NPR cheered when conservative media got targeted and when they came after them they're crying violation of freedom of press. You can't have the cake and eat it too.

A customer who has Amazon's smart devices in his home got locked out of his account. The reason given was that amazon's delivery driver misheard the automated answer of the doorbell for a racist comment. He was locked out of using all his 'smart home' features for days until Amazon gave him access back to his account without an apology or anything of that sort. Basically, if he didn't have proof of the interaction he would've lost access indefinitely.
Why the submission is flagged ?
These are kind of people who inject fear mongering among the other people.

Defund police!!
Comply or you'll be profiled. Our definition of democracy has changed a lot.
Same for most of the protests out there. You should not support surveillance even if you're against cause of protest. The government will come for you sooner or later.
So apparently Bill Gates hit up @elonmusk to discuss “philanthropy on climate change” but Elon asked if he still had a half billion dollar short position on $TSLA.

Bill said he hasn’t closed it out, so Elon told him to get lost.

Ask HN: Why are companies pushing working from the office?

Why the companies are doing so, when the employees are comfortable working from home.With WFH I can think of many advantages to both the companies and the employees. - No commutation, leads to less tired employees - Healthy food - No rent - if they are working from their own house, rather than renting a flat near to the office. - Flexibility of timing - Employee could work little longer if they...

We are 23 engineers and we use Jira. It's an amazing software. We used GitScrum and Basecamp I didn't like either.

On Android I use Firefox nightly + uBlock + Spnsorblock plugins. It works well and you get login too.

no thanks! If you go against the popular narratives, you'll be banned from using your domains.

Ask HN: Why don't many video hosting companies adopt PeerTube or P2P?

I recently found the peertube and its technology is very nice. You could deliver video using p2p torrent like streaming if there are more than 1 user watching it. For me it looks like the hosting provider gets a huge savings in terms of bandwidth. But I don't see many companies making use of this technology.I think Bitchute is using p2p to deliver videos, or is it, really?

If you deplatform people from the mainstream, there will sure be an uprising like this.
