Not great, Bob!
cempaka•8mo ago
It's pretty funny to think back on all the vaguely liberal devs I used to meet in the Bay Area with 'Defend the Shire' shirts.
duxup•8mo ago
The party that railed big tech and big government is in fact their biggest fan.

It doesn’t matter what the GOP claims, they don’t have any ideology or ideas that you can count on.

aspenmayer•8mo ago
Every accusation is an admission.
consumer451•8mo ago
This seems like a flippant comment, but as someone who has total "middle child mentality," and just wants everyone to get along, there are just so many times that this has turned out to be true that it has begun to heavily polarize me. I hate that.
duxup•8mo ago
Agreed, it is a surprisingly consistent pattern.

I worked at a company acquired by another company.

There were two tech support departments and the other department loved to make accusations about our department faking numbers and cases.

So finally after years of insinuations and accusations another department was asked to look into it.

The team throwing around the accusations were the theam faking numbers and closing cases without resolving them and so on.

It was bizarre.

aspenmayer•8mo ago
I was hoping people might feel reflexive and self-aware, so my usage was ironic, yet also earnest.

‘Every accusation is an admission (“including this one”/“except this one”).’

disposition2•8mo ago
This administration might be one of the better examples of the importance of knowing when to ask, “should I do something” vs “can I do something”. And it seems like a lot of the guardrails / historically unwritten rules, that have recently gone the way of the dodo, helped ensure the “should” was considered along with the “can”.

Interesting times to live in

How long until Palantir gets a contract to do the same work for Russia?
ytpete•8mo ago
Is there any way we would know if they already did?
toomuchtodo•8mo ago
Someone inside would have to leak it.

mathattack•8mo ago
It boggles my mind that this doesn't already exist.
lexh•8mo ago
Why is this flagged? Seems to fit the submission criterion of "anything that good hackers would find interesting" and "gratifies intellectual curiosity" pretty cleanly... e.g. government technology contracts and data analysis, privacy and surveillance, a major tech company and its business practices, the intersection of technology and public policy, etc.
hamburga•8mo ago
There are a lot of people here who reflexively flag anything remotely close to US politics.
consumer451•8mo ago
If this post was flagged only by users, wouldn't I see the "vouch" link/button, as a user who has that power? I do not see that link on this post.

Genuine question. I have always wondered about this.

anigbrowl•8mo ago
Good point. I don't see it either, whereas I normally do.
aspenmayer•8mo ago
It has to be [flagged][dead] to vouch from what I understand.
bathtub365•8mo ago
I’ve only seen the vouch link show up for things that are [flagged][dead]
sillyfluke•8mo ago
Yeah, I vaguely remember dang saying that they might consider allowing users to unflag posts, but I think he did confirm that currently flagging cannot be undone by non-moderator users. Currently the site errs on the side of flagging for that reason. I think there was a tweet from pg saying that they were talking about the possibility of giving unflagging rights to karma users with dang, but I'm going completely off memory here.
lawn•8mo ago
It contains negative implications about the current administration so it gets flagged.
ok_dad•8mo ago
Hacker News tries to seem like they don’t push the party line, but they do. There’s no moderation log, there’s little access to any data around moderation, etc. and so my assumption is that this place is heavily bent towards whatever the powerful YC folks want us to read.

They don’t want us to fight this administration for some reason, and it seems that the wealthy and powerful want this government for the USA right now, so they flag and remove everything that’s negative about it.

cempaka•8mo ago
Silicon Valley has been a military-intelligence creation from the beginning, and no one climbs all that high within it who hasn't made peace with that reality. Since the erstwhile tech industry liberal bent -- which is now being walked back with a (transparently astroturfed) "vibe shift", not to mention complicity with an open genocide -- is no longer tenable, more open censorship and labor discipline is the order of the day.
zhengiszen•8mo ago
They're afraid. Sadly everything is going smoothly for the same actors that surely will import the same process learned and applied in Gaza and in Ukraine. The combination of technology and far right policies. The end of privacy will be the last of our worries.
jgalt212•8mo ago
Maybe somebody doesn't like me. My two most recent posts (3 months apart) were flagged. As far as flagged materials go, I find them both pretty much within bounds for HN.
IAmGraydon•8mo ago
Pretty much anything with Trump in the title is going to get flagged as this community really dislikes content that tends to devolve into a flamewar. It is a bit strange that your other post about MS AI data centers was flagged, though.
zhengiszen•8mo ago
Everything is going smoothly

Given sufficient criminal energy to do so, everything can and will be weaponized.

DOGE was just the first step suitably preparing the terrain for further scrutiny.

And once the work is completed, it will never go away again, regardless of the government's political inclinations.
