I wish I could disable the video for people that have their cameras on. I find video distracting and it takes away from a genuine conversation.

Yes but I have found that, in the case of Google News, the content prioritized up by the algorithm tends to be things I am interested in; which tend to be more commercial in nature. For example, boardgames. If I was clicking on outrageous t

I quit sometime last Spring. I don't know what happened but I finally was able to. I think I feel happier because I have lower expectations and my small successes feel big in my mind because I am not comparing to others. For example, a

They can legally lie to you about what is legal. They can also lie, without any reprocussions, to justify any physical force they feel like using.

It is perfectly legal for cops to lie to you about anything at all. Including about what the laws are.

Fan fiction has a lot of problems with censorship as well. Recently, Games Workshop went after all fan animations on Youtube based on the fictional sci-fi setting it owns; Warhammer 40,000.

A lot of the content removed on Youtube is fan fiction. Many companies are effectively IP trolls. Games Workshop, for example.

I thought I wanted a non-renote job until I tried it for 6 months. Not for me. Working from home means living at work. I like my work so mos tlu5fine. I really enjoy coworking spaces. I don't even if my old one is running anymore but I

I don't know about you but many of us were remote for many many years before Covid. I don't see this mentioned enough but the fact remains: when you work from home you also live at work. It's a two-edged sword. Its hard to un

Maybe Apple already built the tool and was like "let's use this tool we already have but just targets specific child porn images". That actually makes them sound more reasonable.. kinda.

My favorite scifi series is the Polity Universe by Neal Asher. The Polity are these benevolent AI that rule humanity after "The Quiet War". It is called that because not a single shot is fired because they just take control of all

If you read the whole article (and please do before you comment) you will see the main point of the article. I agree that the problems with pithy hyperpartisan sound-bite media is nothing new. Social media is just another form of media, wit

I think we need a new src attribute that can have a fallback. There are so many parts of the internet where most of the links are dead. It's pretty sad actually.

There are bad actors and then there is Exxon. What it is about their corporate culture that makes them a whole level worse than other oil companies? Meanwhile, micro-plastics are everywhere. Just today I was thinking about how my dryer lint

I bought a similar kit from Smooth-On to make casting of Warhammer 40k miniatures. It was amazed at the detail and accuracy of what I created! The secret was using a back massager to vibrate the table to get out the bubbles! This is the kit

Recall that "earthquake lights" were not recognized by science until recently. The sometimes giant balls of lights (proceeding an earthquake) were the source of many UFO sightings. These Navy videos are not glitches, human error,

I wrote obvious comments to obvious code. No one else looks at my code but I do, a lot. The result is easy navigation of many many lines of code. The comments act as an index and summary to each section. When it comes to comments, be verbos

Tim is advocating "lifestyle design" over hoarding wealth. This is much better for society as a whole. Also, digital nomads are very very good for local economies. Many countries are starting to realize this and are trying to attr

Increasing the negotiating power of labor would reduce inequality. I don't understand your logic.

If you ever read "Supersize Me", you would know that fast food is designed around very high turnover. Walmart does that as well. Instead of paying more or providing a better workplace, these companies just figure another sucker wi

I noticed that smaller cheaper items tend to have more inflated prices. It actually makes sense, from a business perspective. A lot of things I used to buy on Amazon are much cheaper at local discount stores (Bi-mart, dollar store, etc.)

As Amazon's prices have risen, the minimum order for free shipping on other companies has lowered. For human rights reasons, I am avoiding Amazon unless the price is clearly much better. The funny thing is, it usually isn't (excep

This is criminal behavior. Especially when you consider they raked in more than a half billion dollar profit last year AND received 700 million in federal funds. They are suing people for massively inflated bills. Their "assistance pro

Well, I was going to comment that everyone already knows that low-quality Parmesan (like Kraft) contains "sawdust" (listed as cellulose powder). Apparently, the HN crowd already knew this even though its not common knowledge. Ar

Corporate offices were always terrible but when they removed the cubicles for the "open-office plan" was the last straw. Having my own room for work, at home, is the only way to go. I would rather my kids interrupt me at my home o
