The article nails PT's fascination with Girardian revelation and Trump-era influence, but it’s more hype than substance—exaggerating his Financial Times essay into a cultish sermon, leaning on unverified blood plasma tales, and stretching his AI critiques into a god-making fetish. Thiel’s real push is for systemic disruption, not a Silicon Valley religion, and while his power’s undeniable in 2025, the piece’s sensationalism clouds its truth. Check his own words at Hoover or FT for the real scoop.

Re:Iran is using drones and apps to catch women who aren't wearing hijabs

The article frames Iran’s actions as repressive, aligning with Western media’s frequent critical stance toward Iran’s government. It emphasizes human rights violations and crimes against humanity, which are serious allegations from the UN mission. However, without access to the full UN report, it’s unclear how much of the article is direct reporting versus editorial interpretation. Iran’s perspective—whether it denies, justifies, or contextualizes these measures—is not included, which could indicate a one-sided narrative.
Re:Tesla is done in Germany: 94% say they won't buy a Tesla car
on Saturday March 15, 2025 @04:47AM (#43371055)
The article states that T-Online, a German news outlet, polled 100,000 readers, with 94% rejecting Tesla and only 3% considering a purchase. While the sample size is unusually large for a survey, the methodology isn’t detailed in the article. Online reader polls, like those often conducted by news sites, are typically self-selecting—participants choose to respond rather than being randomly sampled. This introduces significant bias, as those motivated to participate may already hold strong opinions, especially given Musk’s polarizing public image. Without information on how the survey was conducted (e.g., random sampling, controls for bias), its scientific validity is questionable.
Re:Ask HN: What's like to be an engineering manager?
on Tuesday March 11, 2025 @04:56AM (#43330517)
It's great if you're ok with:
* Taking all the blame when your team fails
* Getting no reward when your team succeeds
* Never being thanked or appreciated by your direct reports or manager
* Being in pointless meeting with people who've never built anything
* Smiling and nodding politely when being told what to do by people with no skin in the game.
* Having your decade of engineering experience being ignored because you didn't write that line of code
* Getting dressed down when you did write that piece of code instead of delegating it.
Other than that it is quite fulfilling.

Cookies are often used to identify devices. Syncing them across devices would defeat that purpose.

They did... by voting... and are mostly happy with the new trajectory. Perhaps your perception is being manipulated into thinking there's something wrong with this new direction.

The support staff is also unable to change or cancel my order. I am forced to wait unconditionally without any possibility of getting a refund. At this point I just want to cancel my order, what recourse do I have?
Is Google Fi a Scam?
2 weeks ago I ordered a Google Pixel 7 from Google Fi. After spending 4+ hours on the phone with their support team, no one has any idea where my phone is, it has not been delivered and no the only resolution I am getting is "Please wait another week".Has anyone had a good experience with Google Fi? Am I walking into another Google rat trap?
