• Nearsightedness is at epidemic levels – and the problem begins in childhood

  Vision therapy for myopia helps some people, but not everyone, likely due to genetic and neuroplasticity differences, https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&query=walterbell%20myopia&sort=byDate&type=comment. Nevertheless, many of the principles are useful for children whose eyes and brains are still developing. - Source: Hacker News / 3 days ago

• Tesla driver arrested for homicide after running over motorcyclist on Autopilot

  I'm a huge Tesla skeptic, but Tesla and Musk are lightning rods for tabloid-style garbage that doesn't belong on HN, so it doesn't surprise me that we often see negative Tesla content flagged to death. Meanwhile we also see plenty of content that hits the front page and stays there [0]. Do you have examples of professional, interesting Tesla content that got flagged? [0] More than half of the past year's most... - Source: Hacker News / 3 days ago

• The Man Who Killed Google Search

  It's April 23rd, 2024, and I am still looking for a good, reliable, honest and simple search engine. All I want to do is search. No AI. No ads. No shopping. Please don't "Answer my question." I enjoy doing my own original research, thanks. I'm entirely willing - wanting even - to pay for it. Currently Kagi has my $, but I'm saddened and frustrated that they're not even focused on Search, they're focused on AI[1]... - Source: Hacker News / 4 days ago

• Tesla Recalls All Cybertrucks for Faulty Accelerator Pedals

  Most likely because there have been oodles of low-quality stories on these topics. We turned the flags off on this one since it maybe rises above the noise (see https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&sort=byDate&type=comment&query=%22significant%20new%20information%22%20by%3Adang for past explanations on how we approach that). - Source: Hacker News / 8 days ago

• Show HN: What Are You Working On?

  Hey HN, I'm sure you've seen the monthly "Ask HN: What Are You Working On?" headlines on [Hacker News](https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=Ask%20HN%3A%20What%20Are%20You%20Working%20On%20202&sort=byDate&type=story&storyText=none).

• Not Apply to YC

  I don't know what one thing you're referring to, but it's a core principle of HN to try to avoid repetition, and especially the repetition+indignation combo, which is the commonest and most tedious thing on the internet. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&sort=byDate&type=comment&query=curiosity%20repetition%20by:dang. - Source: Hacker News / 7 days ago

  Not sure. I searched comments: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastYear&page=0&prefix=false&query=Katherine%20Maher&sort=byDate&type=comment Most recent are more culture wars stuff but some earlier ones appear to suggesting a degree of alignment with the USA government. - Source: Hacker News / 8 days ago

• Ask HN: Why are posts about the Gaza genocide being censored?

  Many stories related to the ongoing famine and genocide in Gaza are tech-related: tech companies big and small are enabling Israel's military action in Gaza and in some cases directly supporting the occupation and genocide. The injustices of the real world are often played out again in cyber space, what some people have called a "digital apartheid". This week, both Google and Amazon employees protested their... - Source: Hacker News / 8 days ago

• Inside Amazon's Operation to Gather Intel on Rivals

  This was definitively broadcast by a Tell HN post[0] that 'dang made 9 years ago. He has been consistent in his communication of the HN policies around paywalls across many comments every year, increasingly so over the past year.[1] Submitters should note that "hard" paywalls are banned. If readers can't use something like archive.today, 12ft.io, or archive.org to get around the paywall, then the article is not... - Source: Hacker News / 9 days ago

  Lazier than you think!

• Why so many of us were wrong about missile defense

  The F-35 comment seems especially relevant as (for some reason) negative F-35 posts show up on hacker news all. of. the. time[0]. I don't get why negativity on this plane is such a hot topic here, it's like the lab leak theory of military planes. On at that note why is this post here? Is there a theme to hacker news anymore?
