>There is one EU company in the 50 of the world by companies market cap. One. Just freaking one.

And this is a good thing. All 50 of them should be broken up anyway.

>I'm in the EU and honestly it's more than frightening

I'm in the EU and I love it. It's not perfect, but I wouldn't want to live in any other place. And in the coming fight for digital freedom EU is almost always on the right side.

>I still pay for Netflix, Disney, Apple, Spotify and bbc

I have to admit that's a lot of subscriptions. Most people here are relatively rich, but no wonder people are priced out.

Most of my life I was strongly opposed to piracy for moral reasons. Now I... intentionally try to own (download/pirate) content I consume and I also do this for ideological reasons. So yeah, this effect is real.

It's not perfect but it was a step forward.

It also made people realize that they are tracked like crazy (there are regularly memes about this for example) - before people reacted to this fact like you were sharing a conspiracy theory.

>there's a bug in widely used tool x"

There's a security bug in Openssh. I don't know what it is, but I can tell you with statistical certainty that it exists.

Go on and do with this information whatever you want.

Most people are also n apparently completely off-topic, as in giving advice completely contradictory to the OP (for example "always go to sleep at the same time alway") without even acknowledging that.

I try to explain this to my wife, my baby, and my dayjob but they refuse to listen.

Huh, that's much less than I expected! Apparently it's just for adult population (correctly). Apparently that varies from year to year (in 2024 it was 64%), and by race (highest in white people 70%). I also wonder how that looks when we exclude older people (let's say over 60) who more often have health problems or just tolerate alcohol very badly).

It's higher in my country so good to know that USA drinks less than I assumed.

4 month old should eat every 3-4 hours. You mentioned sleeping for 10-12h and this sounds almost harmful for the baby. I don't think I'd like that.

Thanks for your recommendation anyway. I'm sure that there are many science-based techniques to "tame" children and make child care as atomic family bearable.

>Because the threat model is one-sided - if an AI attack fails, the controller simply moves to the next target. If an AI defense fails, the victim is fucked.

This was always the case? Security is asymmetric and attacker only needs to succeed once.

>More and more folks just see a headline and comment rather than understand that headlines are designed to mislead you for clicks.

My personal policy is I don't click links I consider clickbait. I mean things that are intentionally misleading and vogue. But I sometimes check HN comments - I never comment about the post itself (since I didn't read it), but I sometimes respond to other comments (like I do now).

What do you mean "stuck with it"? I just don't use LinkedIn. Do you need it for job hunting for example?

>BDS boycott list

Looks like a great initiative. Anyone knows about a similar list, but for companies that support Russia and occupation of Ukraine?

I work with actually malicious content (things that make people lose their life savings) and Cloudflare abuse is relatively helpful (compared to most ISPs who just don't care).

They just refuse to take down random things that some media company representatives send their way, without a court order or any oversight. And this is a good thing.

Support jobs are very definitely not "bullshit jobs".
