If terms of use and privacy policies were as readable as nutrition labels, that would be a huge win. Anyone know if there are any existing examples along those lines?

Which is part of why it's not that uncommon to see people who bounce from job to job every year or two in the Bay Area. It rapidly boosts salary. I've also seen where people leave for a top paying company, which sends their compe

I would say that social media generally is the biggest threat. However, I find it hard to believe that ads are even remotely the real problem (though they're part of it). They're not nearly as effective at influencing people as fr

It describes a fallacy and have no idea who coined it. First learned of it on HN, actually. You don't know who coined "coined", but they may well have been a racist. Are you going to stop using it if so? Does that mean it&#x2

Casting those who question dogma as the other (conservative or "alt-right", commonly) is an effective silencing and compliance technique. "You're not one of us if you don't stay in lockstep" has a real chilling

Your skepticism is well warranted. Unfalsifiable theory, dogma you can't question, purity tests, good vs evil, original sin, heresy, excommunication, self-flagellation and so on... It's a religion and Kafkatrap, but not yet widely

That would make sense, those kind of optimizations are common in video games. Objects with physics go to sleep when they stop moving. Things off screen don't get rendered. Culling of objects based on distance or zoom level. Lots of tri

Maybe it's a simulation using a procedural algorithm that's still figuring out how to generate the conditions for intelligent life. Or maybe the vastness of space and the physics that govern it (e.g., speed of light) ensures that

Portraying it as some mad max wasteland is absurd, but so is referring to it as even pseudo utopian. It's not sustainable in any way and there wasn't exactly a democratic process by which the residents of Seattle agreed to having
