>It’s obvious how a 10 second clip scales to 10 minutes or 10 hours or 10 days. Have you ever watched the announcement of a new videogame console? Or even new videogames? 10 seconds of marketing don't extrapolate well to 10 days of

Our experience is completely different then I guess? Size changes but sweaty? Yes, you can even grab scuba glasses and humidity and heat will build up normally even if you stand in a living room. Strapped? Obviously. Makes you absent from t

It really does look like dead internet theory becoming real is a matter of time.

Well, now it just takes them to train on hackernews post data to know about Qwitzatteracht. You kinda played your hand.

How? I clock in when I start a work session and clock out when I finish it. It's really just that simple.

Subreddits are literally controlled by volunteers who get paid nothing. What is stopping them from just going out for a month? It ought to be a month of vacation time, right? You could argue they might lose users, but who cares, Reddit suff

The kind of user that has browsed the web primarily through a smartphone has completely different standards from anyone who has grown with the web. Tiktok and Instagram is the kind of design they are used to.

>Another theory is that everyone is naturally a good shooter but they have all sorts of problems from lack of concentration to body twitching to uncalibrated vision. Fix any combination of these problems and you will have a good shooter.

There is admin intervention for sure, but I'm not sure if it's ideological or just advertiser appeasement. The removal of r/waterniggas (a sub about staying hydrated) seems absurd ideologically, even with that name.

Child pornography stopped happening once the FBI got involved with the site. It also never was a normal or common thing and the administration of the site never set themselves to let it happen in any manner afaik. To a large degree it was a

No, not at all. I've received more slurs than you can imagine for being Spanish. I just don't care. Sorry if it comes as blunt but I find no better way of saying it, you just don't understand the culture of the site, which is

What do human rights have to do with any of this? Isn't this about trademarks?

Criticizing how the author (who just left Rust) engages with the community while he himself criticizes how engagement with the community is done is rather valuable.

Well, yes and no. Even if inflation or unemployment get worse, it's a whole different deal for the average citizen to deal with those when you have socialized healthcare or unemployment benefits.

This is what I call "bush sculpture moderation", as I mentioned in a past comment here: > https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34462443#34467156 >If a person saw a bush sculpture for the first time ever they

China is so large that it can afford to ignore other languages, it's also important enough in the global economy that it can get other people to learn Chinese in order to deal with them rather than doing things the other way around. I

Simple, Marketing creates demand. The vast majority of the population doesn't need the kind of computing beast they are using, but it is what gets sold to them. Everybody in society gets a phone and the vast majority of them are techno

Here in Spain it's a similar deal, chips and candy or other easy to eat snacks is the usual. You technically can go ahead and have a cheeseburger in there, but it's rather unheard of. In Spain you usually just buy the stuff, then

It's your choice to think of it as "I'm 26 and I already struggle with some exercise" or "I was only 26 when I realized I struggled with exercise". 26 is a perfectly fine age to start building your body.

I'm not sure? Placing ethics constraints on a company under a capitalist system is hard. Placing them on open source is impossible.

I wholeheartedly second this. This article seems to me to be one important, small piece of text to read. It might very well end up somewhere in a history book someday.

We'd be better off without Facebook, Twitter, TikTok and Instagram. Anything that hurts these businesses probably helps society. There is just no big benefit to justify the amount of damage done to mental health and privacy.

Well, I don't know what to tell you. Whether it makes sense or not the US does have a reputation of warmongering, and I do think it's reasonable to still be bitter about Iraq if you live in a country that got pulled into that wa
