Wonder if one day we will be able to store files using 0 storage. Complete compression.
Makes you wonder if who has the power knows whether the power or not will stay for quite a while.

If Sam had the ability to censor any comment would he censor this one? Just an interesting thought experiment.
Re:A Marxist Analysis of the iPhone (2019) on Saturday January 09, 2021 @12:31PM (#25702329)
Yes, it’s incredibly silly and ridiculous. It’s no coincidence that most of the people I know in real life who support socialism also agree with the statement “We’ve already invented everything”.

Meanwhile we are still in the dark ages technology-wise.

Let me know when a worker cooperative assembles the next iPhone from scratch.

Why don’t supporters of socialism assemble worker cooperatives and prove to us they can innovate?

Re:Lindsey Graham on Trump Twitter Ban on Saturday January 09, 2021 @12:32AM (#25697575)
When I click the link it just opens Twitter. Phishing?
Accident? Twitter needs to fix their infrastructure if so.
Which turned out to be a bunch of hyped up marketing talk. Why does every person in SV I know seem to love the narrative that we’re being mind controlled by micro-targeted FB ads, which to be fair is what I used to believe.

Everyone on HN switches between “ads don’t work and targeting is BS” to “ads are manipulating our entire country by taking our data”

Possibly true

We get mad at FB for spying and then we spy on FB? Fighting fire with fire?
Re:Raw AWS credentials being sent to Serverless.com on Tuesday January 05, 2021 @10:06PM (#25654288)
Wonder if this move will reduce immoral behavior by companies in the cloud if they know their actions are public. Seems perhaps a bit too far but the intentions could be good.
Re:Jim Keller Becomes CTO at Tenstorrent on Tuesday January 05, 2021 @10:04PM (#25654281)
Great hiring move. As someone familiar with Tenstorent after reading that article, I’d just like to say that I agree that the critical members of the company all have backgrounds in silicon design. Really excited to see where they go.
Hmm. Didn’t everyone say the icebergs melting would add to a positive feedback loop of not reflecting sunlight -> more ice melting -> absorbing more sunlight -> repeat?
This is really bad. However I wonder whether it can help stop climate change. Dark blue rivers absorb sunlight whereas a yellow or white river would reflect sunlight.
Re:Startups should say what they mean on Tuesday January 05, 2021 @03:43PM (#25650752)
Fair point, although anecdotally I’m not sure my startup would have gotten to where it is today had we not integrated blockchain and some ML into our sales pipeline. Customers seem to be fascinated by it, especially enterprise ones.
Re:Surveillance in the Name of Covid-19 on Tuesday January 05, 2021 @03:38PM (#25650696)
A step in the right direction. We could’ve saved hundreds of thousands of lives worldwide with better contact tracing.
Is there cross comparability yet?
I forked the repo and am still single
Shocked that food companies have not gotten into the driverless car space yet. Seems like Chick Fil A could vertically integrate well by acquiring a company like Waymo or DriverAI.

Maybe we will see google and IOS merge to help consumers
Interesting how it’s good for energy production but not for the environment despite the environment producing energy.

Isn’t HR already basically acting as a union for these workers?

Re:Telegram publishes users' locations online on Monday January 04, 2021 @10:45PM (#25641816)
Nope. I think they should probably ask for one at signup. Would also reduce their server load if people only used 1 account instead of making 2+
Re:Telegram publishes users' locations online on Monday January 04, 2021 @10:33PM (#25641739)
It’s a good first step but not enough. I was scammed a while back on Telegram and wish I had been able to also see the persons real identity to recover my money. Location is not enough to go on.

Perhaps TG should publish an API to allow people to see any users government ID if they are scammed.

Besides money why would Google want to do this? I can't see a single possible motive besides money which is leaving me scratching my head.
