I am more on the privacy side of things like HIPAA, but I would like to link the following.

There’s discretion in reasonable and appropriate.

Biggest thing is to have plan and policy. I’d agree in general that more audit is better.


Why on hacker news when it comes to tech salaries, if they stay for a year the same everyone calls it a reduction due to inflation.

However in cases of poor people and poverty there must be an ulterior motive.


It’s a VC backed forum, there’s a bias towards a population that looks down on the poor and fetishizes wealth.

It’s not everyone or even a majority but because of the VC backing it’s going to be more than the general population


Are you suggesting that hn is removing comment's/post's that don't look down on the poor or fetishize wealth? I'm not sure how hn being vc backed has any influence on how I or anyone else here comments

It sounds like parent comment is suggesting that hn attracts a demographic of people who look down on the poor and fetishize wealth, not that it's suppressing posts or trying to influence comments.

That was correct, I was commenting on the input demographics to the community, not on moderation activities

You don't need to remove content when you can let the users flag and downvote what "doesn't belong to" HN

Because the former is a reduction in real terms. The latter is an increase in real terms. The increase from $2.15 2017 dollars to $3.00 2021 dollars is well above the inflation in that time frame. The article points this out quite explicitly:

> However, the IPL has also increased substantially, even after inflation adjustments. The poverty line has increased in real terms.


I see your ad hominem and lack of actually explaining why the GP is wrong. Because they're not wrong. They definitely benefit from this redefinition.

In contrast the study that's linked by OP is funded by:

Amazon, giant banks, ExxonMobile, Google, Microsoft, investment firms.

Then they should pay them, in Germany a non-compete has to be compensated. A country might not want brain drain at all, is it then acceptable to stop people from leaving?


Then you'll just add 15-30 minutes, and it will still work ;)


After the Snowden disclosures, not sure about that.


Maybe more likely that they just assume they are caught, or assume the likelihood of getting caught is higher when there is overt screening for North Koreans.

Similar to why email scammers don’t need good grammar, filtering out difficult cases quickly and move on to easier ones.


>They are more concerned with social progressivism than the liberal foundations of our democracy

That's absolutely not true

In 2017 they filed a lawsuit defending conservative / far-right Milo Yiannopoulos [1] and spoke up for suppression of Trump [2]. Defended someone wishing death to gay people [3]. Filed an amicus brief supporting the NRA's free speech in '18 [4]

And tons of other examples every single year after that: https://www.aclu.org/news/civil-liberties/defending-speech-w...

You're citing ACLU's PR and one source from a progressive site, most of which is pre-2019. Meanwhile, recent articles say things like this:

There's a lot more where that came from but I don't need to lie by citation. The reality, as the electorate saw it, was that most liberal organizations in the 2020's suffered from mission creep. Planned Parenthood went on record supporting defunding the police, the Sierra Club redefined environmentalism as antiracism(?) etc


There is not a single AI model that fully complies with GDPR. How can you inform everyone, even those not named by actual name but otherwise identifiable, that their data is being processed and give them the ability to object when the data they train on isn’t public.

Literally the same for all other open weights, this is just legal ass covering where most others don’t even do that.


> People really need to resist the urge to anthropomorphize corporations.

I understand where you are coming from, but this also sounds like a way to remove individual responsibility from the people that make up a corporation.


Corporations already make it impossible to hold people to account.

No responsibility should be expected when there is no accountability.
