This is old news.

The reason nothing has changed is because LPs prefer their money goes to the bros.

But Soylent!!!

That doesn't explain Florida. The biggest days of protests nationwide were rained out in FL.

That Machiavellian treachery is essential to success in the US. In addition to investors, big successes must also play politics to avoid the crosshairs of the DOJ.

YC 2021: Syndicated Bribes, and Lobbying, for founders who can't stomach it.

Correction: who wants to make their startup success political, so that they don't become targets of the "justice" department?

Who wants to join me in building a startup while our country is succumbing to preventable disasters and lead by ignorance?

Maybe the smart founders are too busy worrying about those who are dismantling our democracy, and how their actions will affect the opportunity for startups, progress, into the future.

HN crowd has lost my respect. Not from this instance alone. But as a culmination of years of inaction.

Not a single comment in this thread supports the employee.

I've been heavily active, too active, on the site for over eight years.

It was always lousy, but it's getting worse.

Lastly, I manage groups with hundreds of thousands of people, and I can't get anyone on the phone for anything.

After the countless hours I've spent on LinkedIn, I'm now focussing my energy on ultimately moving away from the platform.

It's so disappointing that I don't want even to log in to see the mess. No joke, this week, my assistant told me "that thing that's been broken and annoying for months was finally fixed." That thing was merely "approving" content in the group moderation queue. Some posts simply wouldn't be approved...

My strategy used to be "build a community using LinkedIn groups."

Now it's "do everything to capture the value I already created in the groups by directing members off of LinkedIn."

It gets worse.

You can't trust their documentation. And I'm not talking about the API. Even information in their help section is factually inaccurate. And it remains published. When confronted, the issue will get escalated until someone comes up with a roundabout excuse for why the published information is correct, but not practically.

I knew better, but I still fell victim to the building on someone else platform problem.

Never again.

It gets much worse when you start using the less popular features, like group management.

Edit: it doesn't even work correctly using chrome without any ad blockers...

Currency for things that are currently intangible.

In defense of the devblogger, build-a-blog is like "hello world" for every web framework.

Online classes at the same university cost more than in-person classes.

At least that's been the case atmoublic universities here in Florida for the last 10+ years.

Is there a point at which the lender can screw up so much that the house becomes property of the borrower?

No, that is definitely something I need to try. Thanks!

I refuse to connect android auto. Now, whenever I charge my phone in the car, multiple prompts continuously pop-up to enable android auto.

It's become unnecessarily dangerous if I'm using GPS for directions because now I have to continuously press "decline" and "not now" so I can see my directions. This has happened multiple times in a minute. Very dangerous - merely ceasing to ask after the tenth decline would probably save lives.

20+ years to retirement

Is now the time to opt for the "higher risk" option in your retirement portfolio?

Second that.

It feels like my version of the black turtleneck and jeans.

And free shirts are for wearing to bed.

There is a chance people can get the virus a second time. Though, cases of reoccurrence may have been due to human error.

> The thing is that most of humankind lived in small tribes or villages, everyone knew everyone's business and privacy practically didn't exist.

Where's your source for this?

Florida Virtual School employs thousands of teachers. And they've been operating for over twenty years. They're publicly funded, though.

Great thought.

At first, you made me think about how a quarantine/isolation plan could be implemented on the internet. Something that is controlled mostly by a limited number of entities.

However, what if there was a habit for individuals to "feel clean" after exposure to misinformation? Something that could be accomplished on a personal level. Like washing your hands or brushing your teeth. Something where afterward you feel like you contributed to both the community and your own wellbeing.

IRL makes sense. My [clearly wrong] assumption was that we're referring to online discussions.

What about using "block" and "spam" reporting? Are enough people using these features?

So how can someone do that on a platform such as Twitter?

Edit: I did expect a serious response to this from someone that might know more about effectively delivering feedback to the algorithms that display this content. Frankly, it seems like the nonchalant responses(to say the least) are contributors to why this misinformation continues to proliferate.

What do you mean by "throttle"?

Edit: What actions can we take to reduce the spread of this misinformation effectively?
