Parent is talking about the company's ideological stance on AI, not the legalities.

Anthropic has repeatedly shown it prioritizes pushing a set of values over building a general purpose tool.

Ironically, comments that reframe the issue as a legal one make the case for why regulating these companies. Else they can quietly impose their preferred ideology on users.

It's already too late, the UX already adjusts on touch as we witnessed in the demo. I don't think we'll be going back once people get used to it.

All the apps will likely have to be compatible with both modes as well moving forward.

Didn't he already force Google Maps to rename Lake Ontario to Lake America? ..

What else is expected? When the sitting president is a convicted felon? .. Has US ever punished any criminal politicians ?

Aesthetics obviously.. engineers and tech nerds are not the target audience for this machine.

I asked a genuine question. Does Laravel deliver a superior developer experience than let's say Rails or Djano?

Like if I were to sell PHP in 2026 to a new team, how would I position it?

I suppose my question would be: what would be the reason to choose PHP in 2026 for a greenfield project over the plethora of other available languages?

Telesat launches are still on SpaceX Falcon 9s. So the non American alternative still depends on American launch capacity to get there.

Don't forget that US can always strong arm Canada and make it bend to its will. We are too dependent on them. It's nearly impossible to disassociate with United States due to our proximity.

The timeline has changed before, like the ASIC issues pushed full service into 2028. Also scale and capability obviously differ, but it could be a good starting point.

Regardless, I think Europe is better served focusing on its own tech like IRIS and Eutelsat.

I'm not sure why there's an urgent need to attack people on HN for their religious beliefs ? Isn't freedom (in all aspects of life) one of the core tenants HNers pride themselves itself in?

My point is this: it's fine if you don't agree with their beliefs, you can simply ignore that part of the comment and reply to its essence. The parent wasn't trying to convince anyone to take a magic pill.

I disagree with many people here on various topics such as politics, philosophy or outlooks but never have the urge to attack them.

We have a very complacent population, which explains the lack of innovation coming out of the country. People's idea of "business' right now is simply renting out their basement.

Most go to work, accept whatever policy the government decides is good for them, and don't push back as their living conditions decline. Given that, is it surprising that we don't see much activism?

I wish it was different but I don't know what to do. Perhaps Canadians should steal a page from the French?

This is because Christianity played a major role in Western law. While the laws and courts predates Christianity, after the fall of Romans, much of it was rediscovered through Church.

Many of the courtroom customs were partly influenced by this. For example the Robes/gowns or the emphasis on "law as an absolute", higher standard that sits above personal feelings is also inspired from Christian natural law ideas (i.e rulers and judges under a higher law) even though those ideas were built on Roman foundations.

So the kind of person who can treat the rules as more important than their own feelings isn't that surprising in that tradition. It requires a certain bit of.. religiosity.

Actually, it's more basic than that: you're not going to be able to afford having a wife and children if you can hardly pay your own rent.

I wish we were living in a world were people could earn a living and follow their passion but capitalism doesn't allow for that. It's designed for consuming things and increasing profits, not for improving the well being of people.

Democracy is not perfect but it's the best alternative we have right now.

I think that a two-party system is more vulnerable than a multi-party system however Yes parties can still form collations and push their agendas but it's more difficult.

You can see this in action in Canada for example.

"War" for the sake of "war" is pointless. It should be tied to a political objective for some kind of gain.

Ideally, it would be the last resort in limited capacity when diplomacy fails.

Otherwise you're unleashing horrors on humanity.
