Does that mean they aren't allowed to send and receive payments? Why is a middleman service in the business of determining that they shouldn't be allowed to send and receive money? Was Niteo misusing their service?

The average user isn't willing to pay more for their devices just to avoid the seamless sharing of their data with google. There's a reason people stopped buying desktop computers and are relying on mobile devices and cheap laptop

I'm firmly of the opinion that a lot of wellness fads spring up fields like tech because its a field where traditional religious views are rarer. People latch on to these new belief systems that are like religion in most ways beside na

In what universe should it not be okay for you to open up your own phone? You own it, you should be allowed to do whatever you want to it.

Depends on the city, most American cities aren't structured in a way that makes sense for public transportation. They are designed around the assumption of car ownership. And that still leaves the question of how to bridge the huge gap

I always find it weird when Hacker News gets obsessed with productivity. Productivity is what employers want, as an employee I couldn't care less if our open office plan or our heavy use of slack makes me less productive, that's

I've managed to keep a group of friends using Mumble instead of Discord, and I think we've all benefited from it. My privacy-focused friend appreciates the encryption and everyone else appreciates the ability to locally mute peopl

If I need a new pair of glasses with the same prescription I have now (Say, for example, I fall and break my glasses), I shouldn't be required to go get examined to get a new pair simply because it has been more than a year. I want the

If you like screwing with advertisers, I recommend the browser extension AdNauseam https://adnauseam.io/ Basically, it hides and silently clicks on every ad in the background. It even has an archive where it shows you the a

I think you misunderstand the population of 4chan. Across its diverse boards, there's all kind of people, and they don't fit into a single mold. For example, all kind of skilled laborers and handy homeowners, many with families,

So, as someone apparently aware of the problem on a level higher than most of humanity, and so confident that we should be thinking of nothing else, what are you doing daily to resolve the problem? Are all of your resources and time allocat

If Amazon should be paying $15/hour, why should other companies not also pay that much? They are literally doing exactly what was asked of them. Do you not want the same for employees of other companies? I can understand that its fair

Many first world societies have unreasonably long waiting periods to receive specialist attention and care. For example, Canada's average wait from referral to specialist appointment was 10.2 weeks in 2017, up from 3.7 in 1993. The ave
