saying mean things doesn't hurt people - even if they're really horrible, they're just words. Providing guidance that is false or intended to hurt people, like Elon's tweet, is fundamentally different.

England has hate speech laws that produce _ridiculous_ outcomes, like a guy getting fined because he made a dumb gif of his dog Sig Heiling.

I have a feeling that the majority of the commenters here would not be happy with the results of an armed revolution. You can be snarky on the internet all you want, but guns win wars, and there's a hell of a lot more guns in Texas tha

But absolute freedom of speech IS A LEFT WING OPINION! Is no one here old enough to remember the fight over pornography or offensive language in art/music/movies? That was the right trying to shut down speech they disagreed with v

The comments in this thread are shocking, Inquisition level stuff. I can't believe I spend time here. Remember when HN was tech stuff? Now it's: manfredo 16 minutes ago The following views were listed on the memo: *

There are a lot of people who feel the Times has gone steeply downhill in the last few years. Personally, I've gone from an avid subscriber to never visiting. The Journal, the Economist, and the BBC are my go to these days.

At this point I just take everything I hear about the valley as gospel - but always assume there's a healthy dose of harassment. So, so happy there's other options for tech.

Or you could consider it a signal that in one of the most orderly, fastidious, and organized cultures on the planet (probably THE most), people still manage to catastrophically fuck up nuclear, and if the Japanese can't do it, realisti

That's literally the orthodoxy that makes the joke funny though. How does someone being a hollow earther hurt you? How does your sister believing in crystals impact you? People should be kinder to each other and should jump down people

No, it's a joke making fun of the "IFLScience" people who mindlessly parrot back what they read on social media as gospel truth. There's been a resurgence in science-as-politics for the political class, so people who hav

The people that tend to think America is awful in my experience overwhelmingly tend to be American. Most non-Americans seem to have good things to say.

This this this. That's why there are a million fly-by-night Craigslist competitors, and then there's Craigslist. It works the same way it did in 1999, so my grandma can still sell stuff on it. That's it. Done. It's proba

This is cool, even if edgy. What are some other interesting licenses? Is there a fascist only license? What about anti-communist licenses, or licenses only for communists? Can I license my project ONLY to one ethnicity or religion? I know y

I think it really depends on where you live. Where I grew up in Kansas City, the cops were great. The NYPD has been enormously helpful to me and a bunch of my friends when needed. Cops in Troy, Albany, and DC seem to be SPECTACULARLY worthl

Yeah, same with the wonderful new bike lanes, public plazas, ferry system, new bridges, new subways, etc. This is a nostalgia piece that misses the days where bars in the UWS where cheap because it was a hole (aka when my parents lived in t

How long did you last? I worked somewhere like that, most engineers lasted 3 months, I managed to squeeze out 4! Places with issues like that tend to have TONS of other very serious issues.

Ding ding ding! It's not an unreasonable strategy, either - the choice is only the taxes from local operations, or huge fines + effective tariffs on doing business to encourage local firms to spring up. I know what I would do, if I was

0.3 seconds seems really long for that - are you storing the files on disk or in memory? I mean I really agree with you and think more people should do exactly what you're doing, but comon, let's bikeshed this at least a little :

The product they're describing/selling is very creepy - I don't want anyone to be notified when I'm browsing a pricing page. Are you serious?
