Believing that someone is better off drinking and eating a concoction of seed oils vs. animal derived fats or milk has become a form of religious doctrine. I’m happy to see others finally coming around to the scam.
Between that and the "totally not caused by the vaccine" friends who had blood clots, gallbladder and appendix removals, etc... all in their late 20s.
All I'll say is I'm happy I never got it.
Also, the act doesn't appear to have any legal consequences, so I wonder if it actually holds any teeth.
I see these donation numbers where they’re netting $200/mo for some wildly successful tool. Closed sourcing it + marketing and you’ll be at $2-$3k/mo in 6 months with moderate effort.
Open source is cool for a communal app with a lot of different vectors. Openpilot for example is smart for me. For everything else though? It’s an easy way for software to become unmaintained. Good luck finding someone to work for free in perpetuity.
Also siding with the state of California instead of Amazon would be signaling red alarms in my head. Nothing those states (NY, CA, WA, CO, etc) are involved in right now is morally legit.
New Yorkers know that working class people have to commute into Manhattan and often save hours driving instead of taking the train. The pro bike keyboard warriors should go to Manhattan during the work day and ask a worker at any downtown Manhattan restaurant how they get there.
The only reason I would personally relocate would be greater freedom, and relocating for a job is antithetical to that notion.
It’s especially troubling with the hype surrounding “mental illness” or “neurodiversity” and popularization of it amongst the youth. It seems to be creating a nation of prohibited persons and second class citizens.
Like all online communities, HN suffers from the "most active people online do nothing IRL" factor, and the downvotes show.
