This should obviously be illegal if it's not already. Hopefully case law directs the legal system towards the correct conclusion.

"Legal pressure over the damage caused by PFAS has increased. Last month, 3M and DuPont de Nemours Inc (DD.N) were among several companies sued by California's attorney general to recover clean-up costs." This sentence very clearly explains the main problem with late-stage capitalism. It externalizes real costs to humanity unless governments enforce dollar costs for the societal harms of corporate actions. Neither of these companies would've done anything about this issue on their own.

Maybe Rebble is a new brand that can start production of e-ink based smart watches that don't try do to everything.

The F-35 is receiving so much scrutiny because of the exorbitant cost of the program and the very poor product that program produced for the american taxpayer.

Better fighters have been produced in far less time for far less money. I think it's receiving so much attention on HN because it's an example of poor engineering.

The Air Force grew a backbone and did not bend to political pressures, good on them. Space X needs to compete on Cost AND Quality.

Instead of offering to pick a different name, why doesn't Groupon just go ahead and pick a different name? What was the point of angering everyone?

As a side note if you haven't checked out Opera's Other Browser "Coast". I would really recommend playing around with it. It feels closer to the Web as OS concept than anything else I've seen.

I found this in the source of the page.

<!-- So this guy we just interviewed at my current job wrote this little script to see if a product update for some company had come out. Every 10 seconds the script urllib'ed the page, checked the length of the html - literally len(html) - against the length it was last time it checked. He wrote a blog post about this script. A freaking blog post. He also described himself as "something of a child prodigy" despite, in another post, saying he couldn't calculate the area of a slice of pizza because "area of a triangle with a curved edge is beyond my Google-less math skills." Seriously dude? I haven't taken geomtry in 20 years, and pi*r^2/8 seems pretty freaking obvious.

The script also called a ruby script to send him a tweet which another script was probably monitoring to text his phone so he could screenshot the text and post to facebook via instagram.

I think the "millenials" - who should be referred to as generation byte - get undeserved flak, as all generations do, for being younger and prettier and living in a different world.

But this kid calling himself a prodigy is a clear indication of way too many gold stars handed out for adequacy, so to ensure that no such abominable script ever does anything besides bomb somebody's twitter account, this comment shows up exactly 50% of the time, and I encourage others to do the same. -->

Found my new favorite blogger; s'cept for PG.

Those days when one of the worst companies buys one of the best...

Yes. A million times yes.

Well don't keep it a secret. Where should we look?
