I don't know, do they? I'm still waiting for someone to reply with concrete examples of systemic abuse, not this kind of emotive nonsense.

From a modern technological perspective it might as well be, especially when we're talking about East Germany under Soviet occupation.

A classic slippery slope argument, free from anything like the burden of pointing to anything real. Where are the examples of this burgeoning techno-fascism? Where are the disappeared? Where is the American version of Zersetzung? Where is t

I hoped that "examples in the US" and "in modern times" was implied. I'm still waiting for those examples instead of "Remember the Stasi" and your parting slippery slope.

I always ask this, I've been around for decades of pearl clutching and doomsaying, and the dystopia never arrives. "This technology could be used to blah blah blah," but is it actually used that way? No one ever seems to ha

It's also beyond nuts to compare debt that people voluntarily took on with slavery. The desire for people to avoid the consequences of their own actions as a political stance is a non-starter.

Why bother? Surely the community + mods here would crack down on that, and this isn't a site where you can just throw out a load of nonsense and expect that no one will analyze it to find flaws. Add that to the low user count (a few mi

Oh no, how will Uber function with their Chief of Diversity?

I think the point is that being a "site for talking about everything" doesn't work. Ever. HN is restricted by what it is, even more than who runs it; a lot of the content here has no appeal to people outside of the tech world

Thank goodness we killed off all of those troublesome small forums and communities that weren't full of advertising or roaming psychopaths, in favor of the splendid experience offered by the likes of Twitter and Facebook. Toooootally w

It's Jacobin, they're just a tiny step away from being tankies, and their readers are already there.

Those results just say what I did, that DCM is used as the working solvent in some cases and trace amounts can remain. The FDA limit is 10ppm in coffee, and for contrast occupational exposure limits are 100-200 ppm in an 8 hour working peri

It wasn't just Musk, it was Lyft and Uber, Waymo and the rest are all still doing it. Lyft's CEO just put out a statement saying "Soon now".

The two main processes involved either use just want (Swiss) or DCM, so I'd assume they're referring to the latter process. I personally can't imagine there's any DCM remaining in processed coffee given how incredibly vo

That's just human nature, tribalism justifies everything. It's why echo chambers are so appealing to so many people, and why they devolve into meme-slinging and a lack of critical thought.

So... a filter to screen out parts of reality which offend?

My biggest issue with the game at launch was that the place felt empty, like a giant city with nothing going on. Has that changed at all?

I think some people are in a state of burnout, some are in denial, and some just don't know which way to jump anymore.

The fallback metaphor I use in these situations or similar ones, "What's outside of the universe" for example, is the old, "What's North of the North Pole?" Then you explain that we can create questions and sta
