Absurd that people are being driven to actually wear tinfoil hats on this skeever-hole of a planet.

The two (non-mutually exclusive) most realistic options are to: 1) Become a career politician yourself. 2) Put yourself in the top 0.1% wealth bracket, and share your opinions with money.

Video games have never been owned. Consoles are in a slightly better place though I suppose, so that part could still be taken.

I do not see any part of my comment that you could be replying to, and would think that you meant to reply elsewhere were it not for the quoted text (which again, does not appear to be the subject of your comment).

I think a lot of the time, we use "clever" to mean "obtuse, unreadable, and/or obfuscated" when talking about code. The positive version of that word is "elegant", I think.

I cannot tell from the wording of the comment, but this seems like a rebuttal. I agree that solutions should be the first thing that happens as opposed to blaming. However, the comment that I replied to seemed to be stating that the solutio

This is an institutional problem. Since banks are so unreliable that information leaks, identity theft, and fraudulent charges are expected, they have this strange relationship with the customers, who do not treat their CC information as se

I too am incredulous of that claim. Most likely it was meant to scare the uninformed (and also the informed, since they do not want to waste the time).

If [the government, businesses, etc.] could not (or did not) find these vulnerabilities, most of which seem like things your average techie might have checked for, what evidence is there to suggest that [the government, businesses, etc.] kn

Sure you can. If Value A (some given ethic or aesthetic) is sufficiently less valued than Value Set B (family, personal happiness, financial security, career success), then most likely the hypothetical holder of these values will make no at

I drew a different conclusion from reading the parent. The issue with "your vote doesn't matter", however true it may be, is that the decision not to vote results in removing yourself from the decision-making process, giving

I think you mean "devote" instead of "devour" there, but I feel like the word could still almost work despite making the sentence hilarious.

That is true. I was thinking that morse code or writing would be effective, but my knowledge of these things is not really intelligence but rather things that I learned by participating in human society.

I will probably continue to get the Monty Hall problem wrong for the foreseeable future despite understanding the logic. I think the issue with it for me is the difference between probability and calculated probability (which I do not think

Every time I see Seattle mentioned on HN, there is someone who says something to the effect of "That is all very nice, but let's talk about the homeless problem in Seattle." Considering that that is where Amazon's SWE co

It is more than plausible to abuse the legal system in ways that are (obviously) legal. If that claim is not what you are disputing, what is?

I was going to say this. It seems no different to me than when was setting up a Win10 installation and searched "Firefox" on Google. It injected something to the effect of "Edge is the superior browser" into the page.

As many probably realize, the fact that "online videos" == Youtube for many members of the general public means that it is by far the number one source for both posting and watching videos online in a self-reinforcing loop. I thin

To me, the parent's statement is ironic. I could be wrong though.

The dark patterns on that site are piled pretty high, but that is not my issue with it. My issue with Pinterest is that it has taken the Google image search results by storm, and often does not actually lead me to the source of the image. T

I am of the opinion that the choice between an app that signals "I want/need friends" and "I am interested in hookups" would not be an easy one, even if one's usage is innocent.

Off-topic: Articles like this, and most others that deal with health and medicine, present a problem for me that is somewhat hard to describe. The research for this one appears to be built upon prior research (which is hopefully validated w
