  • Who are some people in powerful positions or 1%ers that are genuinely good people?

  • Jeff Atwood (stack overflow and discourse cofounder) seems pretty cool for someone who made a shitton of money in tech. Everyone I know who's met him says he's a nice and normal human being, and he's currently funding a UBI program as well as giving copiously to high-quality charities.

  • Pocket shutting down

  • Maybe Kobo will finally make an API for loading articles so we can send them from Instapaper/Raindrop/Pinboard/etc...

  • FDA will limit Covid vaccines to people over 65 or at high risk of serious illness, leaders say

    Jump

  • Until they actually publish the policy, who knows, right? Just because that was the "high risk" list last time doesn't mean that the new FDA won't declare that the only risk factor is having a golf handicap above 3...

  • This appears to be the relevant place to leave feedback, FWIW. I posted a comment this morning!

  • What Happens When "AI"-Generated Lies Are More Compelling than the Truth?

    Jump

  • I'd go farther and suggest that the causation goes the other way. People are willing to use "AI" tools only because we've already shattered the notion of objective truth. OpenAI wouldn't exist today without millions of people gleefully accepting the cry of "fake news" 9 years ago.

  • Artificial intelligence, perhaps humanity’s greatest monument to logical thinking

    Sigh

  • What's something about different generations (eg generation z, millennial etc) that you don't really understand?

    Jump

  • Why wasn't there a generation between Boomers and Millenials?

  • Browsers should probably just stop sending user-agent header at all, ideally.

  • Poor Visual J# (literal Microsoft Java) isn't even in the picture

  • What is a company perk that shows they really care about their employees?

    Jump

  • This is a niche one for US companies that do stock compensation with ISOs, but supporting employees to file 83(b) elections. It's annoying paperwork for the company but saves the employee tons of headache down the road.

  • RFK Jr. hires anti-vaccine advocate to study debunked vaccine, autism link

    Jump

  • "Anti-vaccine advocate" is a weird way of phrasing "random unqualified non-doctor who got in trouble for working with his dad to chemically castrate autistic children"

  • After 50 million miles, Waymos crash a lot less than human drivers

    Jump

  • Focusing on airbag-deployments and injuries ignores the obvious problem: these things are unbelievably unsafe for pedestrians and bicyclists. I curse SF for allowing AVs and always give them a wide berth because there's no way to know if they see you and they'll often behave erratically and unpredictably in crosswalks. I don't give a shit how often the passengers are injured, I care a lot more how much they disrupt life for all the people who aren't paying Waymo for the privilege.

  • What are some lesser known (so no Walmart, Nestle, Amazon etc) shitty, ethically bankrupt, evil companies?

    Jump

  • Gotta love a company that will sue you if you benchmark their software...

  • The companies that run these residential proxy networks are sketchy as shit and in a better world would be criminally prosecuted. They're tricking random low-information users into installing VPNs and other software with backdoors that turn them into a veritable botnet.

  • Elon Musk’s DOGE is growing desperate for a “win”

    Jump

  • Part of me wonders whether the whole thing is just a set up so Trump can look good for shutting them down...
