This is a very bad example.

The IRS is treating you bureaucratically and poorly because of lobbying from companies and politicians being bribed by said lobbyists.

My point being that you are beholden to a poorly functioning IRS because of capitalism; where companies have lobbied so hard against tax reform and simple filing that it more or less forces you to use their software.

Yeah, next generation of SOTA models will probably come with a misspelling mode, marketed as "inspired by artisanal human misspellings".

There's a spelling mistake in the first paragraph. The expression is "lo and behold", and not "low and behold". Lo is an old English interjection for expressing surprise.

The parent comment is not presenting a false dichotomy but is making precisely the point that it is how you apply the laws that matter; that just having laws is not enough.

Why don't you start a non-profit that gives laptop to kids so you can decide over the kind of machine to procure. These constant opinions on other peoples decisions where you have no insight to the whys is very ego-centric in a i-know-best kind of way.

Or, you know, maybe your interpretation of what they said is incorrect?

It's quite obvious to me that the original poster was confused about what the end of the article meant and trying to communicate that the explanation they got made sense.

If you are receving massive downvotes, instead of insisting on your interpretation being the only correct one, maybe you can try to critically analyze your interpretation and see if there is another way to interpret what was said, instead of doubling down and believing that HN is the last bastion of LGBTQ hate.

The vast majority of people will not read about the collected telemetry, even fewer will read it and then make a decision to opt-in.The telemetry is optimizing for the vast majority, not the loud minority, hence opt-out works better in order to cater to a larger group of users. Your voting analogy is really bad.

With that said, I don't really like telemetry and will turn it off.
