A bailout has been the plan for probably 10 years.

This is going to be moderated off the front page.

Americans' breast milk is full of fire retardants, found in 100% of samples taken.

The entire US economy is stagnating and spiraling because cartels control most activity now.

Flagging powers is moderation.

You realize HN is a Y Combinator project, right? It is functionally run by Big Tech.

Posts critical of oligarchy often shoot to number 1, then magically disappear from the homepage. It's a moderation decision.

"The revolution will not be televised."

RICO, sexual assault of minors, treason, labor laws, drug laws, and probably a million other things.

You should read A People's History of the United States!

Zuckerberg is the ring.

All of those people belong in prison.

Microsoft should have never been allowed to buy github. A functioning government would have prevented the acquisition.

The entire US economy is tottering due to a lack of anti-trust enforcement.

Even The Economist, an oligarch-friendly magazine, has been hitting the alarm bell on this for over a decade: "America needs a giant dose of competition" https://www.economist.com/briefing/2016/03/26/too-much-of-a-...

I am a former lawyer who clerked for 2 different federal judges. This is what I think:

The author should sue Nvidia & try to at least force a settlement. What the F are these lawyers doing? When a billion bucks is what you're trying to legitimately claim, the unpredictability of a trial is going to get them to toss you some millions, which is pocket change to Nvidia. At least go get those millions.

It is possible it doesn't work out, but jeez, I'd definitely take the next step. Go consult some more creative lawyers.

Reminds me of penicillin research, where random cantaloupe from Peoria yielded the best penicillin mold.

Ah yes, bad design, something Apple is famous for.

This is obviously intentional.

I mean, this is also Martin Fowler, a luminary in the field. His site should be able to handle the HN hug of death, particularly if he's bashing the latest-and-greatest tools. As is, he looks like an old man shouting about cars being bad while his horse drops dead at the side of the road.

Sounds like she was undervaluing her previous employee's artistic skills.

I would agree if they were actually quoting someone or if it was a more substantial quote. In this case, it appears to be an anonymous source.

Yes, I know its real news. I am speaking to the title. It's always "The Houthis did this" or "Houthi-controlled areas do X".

They need to just stop promoting alternative facts and call it Yemen.

An important thing to consider is how much of their uptime without incidents is not the normal working hours. Their incident-free uptime on 9-5 EST, Mon-Fri, is probably like 60%.

Whenever you really start peeling away at Silicon Valley mega tech stories, you mostly find tax dollars.

The US economy is jampacked with collusion price fixing. Most markets are controlled by monopolies or oligopolies.

This is clearly heading in a direction where the USA is going to elect a huge number of socialists, who in turn are going to enact massive taxes on billionaires and break up the monopolies.[1]

This is why I think the billionaire oligarchs are literally mentally ill. They've won the entire game. They control everything. They live like gods, they twitch a pinky and millions dance.

But their response to all of this power is to seek even more of it, destabilizing the very system that has them on top. You would think self-preservation would kick in. The fact that it is not and that their greed knows apparently no bounds is going to lead to their extinction.

For a long time I thought it was hyperbolic to say so, but no longer -- the billionaires are mentally ill.

That's an incredibly nice story.

Are you taking better care of yourself?

They aren't going to do a thing to Altman except extract more bribes.

Government investment works. That's why America's billionaires are mostly just people stealing as much of it as they can.

You're right, but that GitHub is dead.

Also, the former stewards of that open source goodness sold it to Microsoft for a cheap buck.

Any goodwill they earned has been spent.

Get rid of their highest-paid employees, replace them with off-shoring and AI.

Eventually the fact that the US military and government is getting tech support from overseas will catch up. Microsoft is a walking national security disaster.

But all they care about is "line go up next quarter". Their monopoly has made them lazy.

This would have been obvious to anyone following the war in Vietnam, even.

The Iranians have explicitly tweeted:

"For years, we've been awaiting the Americans' entry into the designated points, and for over two decades, we've been training with the asymmetric warfare strategy for this very moment. Now, we have just one message for the American soldiers: Come closer."
