inputs from a deterministic controller. Any claims of "motive" or "behavior" are inappropriate anthropomorphizing of something that will never be more than a mathematical model of things humans do.

We talk about the behaviour of worms like C. elegans, an organism with incredibly simple behaviour and a brain that is quite understandable.

Models, or society behaves in certain way. Companies can have motive or ethics.

We use these terms broadly.

Sink broke? Call landlord to fix. Roof leaking? Call landlord to fix

Most landlords I've dealt with are an absolute pain to deal with when something breaks. It's often not that easy, maybe in high-cost / luxury rentals. Arguing over what is normal wear-and-tear, while knowing you cannot afford decent legal advice, and you also can't pay for the "unexpected repair" is just as bad.

And you can’t have just your kitchen nice, now you need to upgrade the flooring

Yes you can. There is no need to have everything perfect...

Edit:

You never have an unexpected $20k repair show up.

If this was even close to coming even with the added cost on rent, no one would be a landlord. It's obviously a lot less than rental overhead. So people could just set that aside (or get insurance).

Having studied in the Netherlands it was somewhat difficult finding a job (10 years ago), and my first job was in Poland at a large Pharma company. I started working there for a wage lower than Dutch minimum wage when I started, just to get an in into the industry.

There is a while set of jobs in Pharma that got moved to Warsaw and no longer available in NL/DE.

China and geopolitical enemies of the US doing horrible things regularly gets hundreds of votes. It’s quite clear that this argument is mainly used to defend the US and it’s allies.

Just a single example of Russia, hundreds of votes and more than a thousand comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30458277

Edit; just search for Russia, China or Iran on https://hn.algolia.com/ and you’ll find plenty of non tech stories.

Reminder of the HN guidelines for commenting, as the majority of comments just talks about the design of the page at the moment:

In Comments

Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.

Please don't pick the most provocative thing in an article or post to complain about in the thread. Find something interesting to respond to instead.

Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—e.g. article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting.

Why is it not that interesting? Especially when you see big tech align themselves with whomever is in power at the time?

To me as a non American, it’s an absolute cope to argue that its okay when its not due to law when the effect is the same.

It’s like someone in China arguing the censorship isn’t interesting because you and download the non-guardrailed weights.

Both absolutely post-hoc justifications why one type of censorship is better than the other.

Read the post, they never blocked the activist. They just changed what they replied to a DNS query of an already blocked site to make it harder to detect.

Because this is funded and published for the following reason:

FDD conducts in-depth research, produces accurate and timely analyses, identifies illicit activities, and provides policy options – all with the aim of strengthening U.S. national security and reducing or eliminating threats posed by adversaries of the United States and other free nations.

He does seem to be invading other countries without popular support? One can find a reason (especially post-hoc) to allow, or disallow, any intervention. The US in cases like this just picks whatever is convenient. Dictator matters here, but in Saudi Arabia it doesn't.

Presumably US actions are backed by the people they consider to be legitimately elected representatives of Venezuelan government, and if so amount to little more than assistance in local law enforcement.

So any country could just assign some people as the legitimate government and do anything in any other country.
