What do you mean by "same people"? Who are these people? The comment you're responding to certainly doesn't specify, but somehow you know that they're the same as the people who said whatever batshit thing you think they said.

I'm prepared to be wrong though. I searched the internet for six whole minutes and found no evidence of even a single person, let alone the group of people you say exist.

> I'm not changing it to be more corpo-propriate now.

Look, I'm not wanting to be rude here, and this is obviously all hypothetical since you're likely not actively pitching to investors, but if you were, being stubborn in this way would be a deal breaker for me as an investor.

I see all the reasons you have for keeping it, and they're reasonable, but the mere idea that that's a hill you're willing to die on is a red flag. I'd see this as one of many potential points of friction. Where else will you choose to not make compromises?

Maybe it's not rational on my part, but you're trying to convince irrational entities to part with their money.

You could look at it this way: if someone offered $17M to change it, would you?

"Listen, I'm no doctor, but your shit stinks in a way that makes me think you need to see one," said while you're in the stall next to him, or any other time, couldn't hurt.

If you'd kept reading the sentence, you wouldn't be asking the questions you're asking.

> A product can be both, according to the current US administration

The person you're responding to isn't trying to convince you that a tent is two things, they're telling you that the US government wants you to believe a tent is two things.

I am a good hacker, and I find this interesting. This is on topic and should not be flagged. When an influential tech leader says "Silicon Valley can’t be neutral any longer", I want to hear what they have to say. I want to hear what the HN community has to say about it.

> people with real knowledge on the subject

...tend to be qualified to write a lot of books on the subject.

I don't think you're being fair. You're turning "I don't like the framing" into "a culture war".

> Every time I read about them arresting somebody...

You're clearly not reading enough and are a part of the problem if you believe what you're saying to be true.

Indiscriminate can be defined as "done at random or without careful judgment" - I think the latter part of that definition perfectly describes ELITE.

I find it nonsensical to dismiss an anti-ICE argument because of one word.

Given that, I'd suggest not offering "alternatives" to the features described in TFA for a service you've never used. There are people here talking about oranges, a lot of them with domain expertise, and you're not just talking about apples, you're talking about bird migrations.

Get this: I've used what you guys built back then almost every day for the past 20 years. (also, long time no see - we should catch up).

Most macOS keyboard commands that let you cycle between things (like windows or applications) can be "reversed" by adding the SHIFT key.

So CMD+TAB+SHIFT cycles in the opposite order of from CMD+TAB, etc.

Good luck trying to paint the picture that AppleCare is a waste of money. I've owned hundreds of Apple products since AppleCare became a thing. I've "had to use it" once, and that one use replaced a $4500 product for $0. The ROI on AppleCare always works out.

In the context of Hacker News, when the "worked conclusions" are that of an AI (however accurate or well trained), yes, I suspect that people tend to prefer that less than the opinion of a random stranger.

I'm here for the people. No AI is going to tell me what you think about something.

I obviously can't say for sure, but my guess for why you're being downvoted: we don't need humans telling us what the AIs think. We're all capable of knowing that for ourselves.

What I'd guess most of us are interested in is what you have to say.
