Still people are gonna keep saying that China pollutes, and not that the US pays them to pollute because the US consumerism is off the charts. One good thing about the coming of the Facebookverse is that USians then won't need to buy n

Do they explain anywhere whether the browser is expected to keep a bunch of multi-gigabyte blockchains on my disk? Or, is it simply that Google, Mozilla and whoever else have to serve verification requests for their users? Or is the whole j

Ah, so the US govt can't stop people from saying something, but can decide what they can't read and watch? Is that how it works? If not, then no one at government agencies should be making such suggestions.

Birman had kind of an ongoing ‘rivalry’ with the guy who made the Metro map at Art. Lebedev (which became the official one)—in that both maps were developed and updated at the same time, with public progress reports and resulting education

Not sure who you're confusing me with, but for myself I'm happy to report that I've gotten off Reddit a couple years ago, so there's that. Also find HN boring lately and visit it less often, good signs all around.

I'm vaguely sure that many of the hackers picking apart 8-bit games are in their twenties, if not teens. Meanwhile, even people who grew up with SNES and Genesis would now be in the late thirties.

Such, errr, ‘giants’ as BBC evidently already adhere to this advice, and others follow in their step. Though I suspect that the motivation is different.
