While it is certainly now quicker and cheaper to do this, it is not clear that maintaining a copycat app as an ongoing concern has much more business value than it ever has. Take Photoshop. Pixelmator existed (acquired by Apple eventually). Photopea is still independent. What else... Sketch? Figma and Canva for the "unicorn startup" category. Procreate serving a different chunk of users. Is there room for many more new entrants in this category to gain significant marketshare? Is the ability to dupe Photoshop the actual blocker?

The Book of Job addresses this. Basically, it is God's prerogative to do whatever He wants with us. You don't have to like it, but He is still in charge.

"just as easily" — hmm, no, I think not

> It is a very deeply embedded assumption that women are primary parents.

Because this is typically true, even in cases where both parents work.

It's projection on your part. The general public (excluding the "very online" subset thereof) is barely even aware of mass surveillance.

> treat anyone who comes through the door for anything

nitpick, but it's anything imminently life-threatening (mas o menos), not anything

like if you show up in the ER with burgeoning cancer they won't provision chemo

I echo this. It is not clear to me what the actual difference is.

Yes, as the article says:

> This should be very familiar because agents do exactly the same thing in code and plans. They love belt-and-suspenders, wrapping an extra try-catch or re-implementing the same utility over and over.

Yeah that one got my hackles up. The idea that America should not be run for the benefit of its citizens is uhhhh saying the quiet part out loud, I guess.

Thank you for sharing his memory with us.

Huh. I wish this was the norm in my area, so I didn't have to wait around for the check once I finish eating.

The question is actually how do people get away with avoiding accountability for their actions?

Red Queen's race. It comes up a lot in marketing.

That is devastating. How are you doing?

It's both. OPD is dramatically under-staffed, and also trash. Needs a complete overhaul.

He's funny as hell. I don't like him as a politician but he's an extremely effective showman.

I didn't even know AWS had in-house models, that's how seldom they are mentioned.

Sidetracked by this blog being on Medium, I feel like I jumped back in time 5 years.

You are right, except: "solutionism will fail. Magic technology will not come to save us."

You just can't know this. It might be true. But it might not. That's the thing about the future, it is fundamentally alien.

Women and men are not judged according to the same standards. We're not super sexually dimorphic as a species, but certainly enough to matter in terms of evolved social responses.

Aw man, since you're sharing this on HN, you gotta cover California!

Should doctors be forced to perform abortions they don't condone?

I read this comment and was like "but what is their business model?" before I realized

he just like me fr

Lol, this has Google energy.

Arguably if you can't achieve this, ngmi.

No, you can squat in the hospital bed. (Source: have given birth.) I'm not sure whether this is the same in India, but in the USA most hospitals don't want you to get out of bed post-epidural because you're a fall risk which incurs legal liability.

> probably because at least someone in HN leadership realises just how bad this reflects on the USA and its people.
