I'm probably going to hit 1000 games this year on steam, around 960 currently I pirated every single game I have ever bought first, with the exception of games that had Demos. If it's a Denu…

> Are you saying if they own a large enough amount of it, it's OK to ignore their rights? Let's not pretend these companies give the slightest hint of a shit about morality. They'd d…

Do they? I know for sure nobody in my circle of friends cares in the slightest if people pirate media from huge companies. I don't think anyone other than Disney shareholders gives an iota of a d…

Catering to trillion dollar media companies is not exactly my idea of freedom.

Simple solution: You're held liable regardless of if you knew or not. It should be your responsibility to do everything possible within your power to make sure the company you're heading isn…

In these types of discussions, people love bringing out the "But what about $OTHER_OBVIOUS_MONOPOLY?". The solution is simple (the word simple here is doing a lot of work, I know); Meta, Mic…

All the replies to this question read like some sort of corporate marketing robot coming up with ideas. In the overwhelmingly large majority of cases it'll be used for porn, scams and maybe 5% of…

We're talking about kids here though, not all commuters. And at least in the Netherlands, sample size of my office (around 300 people) maybe a dozen people max commute by car because they live ~2…

The majority (dare I say all?) of European kids just take public transport/their bikes to wherever they're going, from a young age. I took the bus 1.5 hours 1 direction every day to go to my…

Any tips on how/where one can learn more on these topics? I find cryptography fascinating, but whenever I've tried looking for some resources on my own, they all flew hilariously above my he…

That's entirely on Mozilla and the slew of incompetent CEOs who did nothing but pocket millions and buy out useless products like Pocket instead of directing funds where they should've gone,…

I'm not a Yank, and referencing your other comment in this thread about the commute, I'm a ~10 minute bike ride from my office. I just don't care about my colleagues in a friendship con…

I am the furthest thing from an introvert imaginable. I've just spent my weekend surrounded by about 40 of my friends at a festival, and if it were up to me I'd be there for another week mi…

https://www.ycombinator.com/companies?batch=S24 Someone else linked it above, but after seeing this, yeah no wonder people are getting tired of it. Basically every single company in t…

Wow, basically every single company there incorporates AI into their pitch or even name somehow... I mean I respect the grift I guess, but I'm not surprised in the least that people are quickly g…

Our "testing" involves sending it 50 prompts and seeing if it bullshits too much and revising the prompt until it bullshits to acceptable levels. I suspect that's how the model makers t…

I work for a company providing those kind of solutions and yeah, the mandate from above is that we need to build an AI bot that will replace real human CS agents. The "vision" from our CEO i…

Once you look past the initial reaction of "oh cool a computer can do this!?" You quickly start running into the limitations. And if you're in a product team building some AI feature (a…

They're greedy, so they refuse a small pay bump to keep the current people happy. Their bet is that they won't actually leave if they get rejected on the raise. This is where the stupidity c…

Loyalty died because the C-suite are comically greedy idiots and don't care to keep the good workers by recognizing their worth. Mind you, they never really did, but people just realize it a bit …

Your feet and back hurt because you don't walk anywhere and are over-reliant on cars. They shouldn't hurt for small distances, our bodies are quite literally built for walking literally all …

There really needs to be a 3-strike rule type of thing with fines like these. It's ridiculous to me that they can continue to violate people's privacy without their consent, get fined a perc…

That's the point of healthcare isn't it? You pay even when healthy so that if something big happens, you're covered by the system.

That just shows us that the companies don't give a shit and are implementing every dark pattern under the sun to keep harvesting data. The ePrivacy bill, GDPR and the EU cookie laws say nothing …

We should definitely take the word of an infamous welfare queen (Ayn Rand) on how to run society, indeed

My sister has kids, and their school exclusively uses whatsapp to broadcast events and other things happening in the school, despite repeated complaints from many parents. There's millions of li…

That's not true, it's also very useful when trying to defraud and scam people en-masse!

Most show HNs are just some shitty wrapper around OpenAI APIs these days, from what I've noticed. "Searching for papers with AI!" Doesn't exactly sound like the next Google to me, …

Always hilarious reading big tech propaganda. They're trying oh so hard to convince people that, no, us harvesting every single iota of information and selling it to data brokers is progress , a…
