New comment by Teever in "Microsoft offers mass buyouts for roughly a quarter of its workforce"

I'm not seeing the connection between a relative lack of regulation in the software industry and the price of FOSS software being (close to) zero or your larger assertion regarding free markets and prosperity in general.

At the same time I'm not sure that the computer industry is a good example for your claim due to its roots in the Bell telecommunication monopoly and the massive subsidies from the US military that lead to the wide availability of the cheap personal computers that most of the open source software that you are talking about originated from.

If anything the rise of American tech giants and the proliferation of cheap computers is directly attributable to decades of intervention by the US government and not a free market success story.

> What can I or you possibly do that can wreak havoc on this scale?

Build a bunch of drones that carry explosives and leave them outside chemical plants, refineries, and nuclear plants across the world and then launch a simultaneous attack on infrastructure.

Budget $1000-$2000 per drone and then whatever your costs of transportation for the road trip are.

New comment by Teever in "Alternatives to animal testing are finally taking off"

Teever — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 16:05:57 +0000

But animal testing could be a local maxima.

It could and likely is the case that we can make better alternatives to animal testing but we're held back by the kinds of arguments you just made and the inertia in the system so we don't move past a flawed but functional paradigm based around animal testing.

New comment by Teever in "Show HN: Unfenced – Land for sale that borders public land"

Oh my god you're right.

I think I unintentionally brought Tree Law to HN.

Now that I think of this may be the first time that I've seen Tree Law on here.

We're only a hop, skip and a jump from getting some vigorous discussion about Bay area Tree Law now.

But isn't that typically the responsibility of the person who owns the land that the tree was sitting on before it fell?
