You can't assign blame to those businesses. If you must, then your blame should be directed at the consumers.

Unless of course these "negative externalities" are secret and unknown to the consumer... which I'd doubt.

Right.

No it didn't.

Not sure why this is getting downvoted - other than for Musk-hate. Was largest IPO and made lots of regular people millionaires over night.

It's ironic considering how pleasure seeking that generation is but refuse to admit it here.

I tend to agree.

H1-Bs aren't being paused. This is for immigrant visas.

This is the most missed point in all of the flame throwing in this thread.

So cool. Imagine a P2P online multiplayer?
Why is this a problem? I don't understand it.

Would this apply to services offering to "promote" your post/listing to the top of the page. Like what is the legislation and logic here.

You should not be getting down voted. HN isn't Reddit. Down votes are for comments not contributing to conversation. This is a valid point.

I will say it, candy bars are garbage and should by no means be ingested.

Well I'll guess they'll need to make an edit to post on Luc Montagnier.

Is this sarcasm?
Re:Full Writeup of the Windows GDID on Monday July 06, 2026 @09:04PM (#48812484)
Ya. The FBI report to the court said that Microsoft showed the GDID visited the ngrok.com/signip page while using a VPN. I would have figured at that level the OS would not know domains but likely IP addresses. So it must be browser telemetry right?
Re:Astrophysicists Puzzle over Webb's New Universe on Sunday July 05, 2026 @05:04PM (#48797927)
I think not because light is also a field.
Re:Astrophysicists Puzzle over Webb's New Universe on Saturday July 04, 2026 @09:43AM (#48785341)
I'm not sure anything after the event horizon right? Since no light == no information.
Is there no file input type?
The only correct reply.

That is almost too hard to believe. Sleep less? Ok. More fragmented? Doubtful, unless your baby slept more than 4hrs straight in their infancy.

Agreed. Of all the major companies, I am actually surprised I use 0 of their products. 0.

Apple: yes

Google: yes

X: yes

Samsung: yes

Amazon: yes

> it seems more likely that the logical conclusion is the executive branch is mad at Anthropic, and lashing out at them

Have people forgot about evidence?

Please excuse me, I was implying they get the opposite of punishment, they get rewarded for their lies.
quite the opposite

It all started with a sparkle.

Then every icon and logo was derived from that metaphor for "AI".

Re:Intercom changes name to Fin on Wednesday May 13, 2026 @09:04PM (#48129872)
Continuing the tradition of AI-company logos looking like buttholes.
