Awesome but not publicly funded by the government, I think? Not like NPR or PBS. I.E., a public institution (Public Benefit Corporation).

It is incredibly irresponsible for the President of the United States (or of any country) to speculate about obviously questionable practices like injecting disinfectant in the midst of a global pandemic and a national emergency. And, the s

Luckily as educated adults we are blessed with being able to exercise our judgement to assess what is right, wrong, an honest mistake, a deliberate distortion, a kinda-bad inaccurate claim, or a dangerously-bad inaccurate claim.

Yeah but you can say that about anything any politician ever does. I mean you can also say all code written by developers for for-profit companies exists to create revenue. Both are true yet incomplete statements.

Would love to hear an explanation from a downvoter so a discussion could be had. Just saying “no I don’t like that” (Ie a commentless downvote, assuming the comment isn’t inappropriate), is, IMHO, kind of like trying to win a debate by goin

I would love to see a Publicly Funded Browser - i.e., like PBS, or, NPR, but, a browser. To be one option among others. Ideally open sources as well : ) : )

Totally. And my apologies if I implied a lack of "will" was the issue - God knows I struggle enough with that. I think that "the path forward" is a mix of things. Often we have opportunities we have not tested, and, part

It's a proposal; it can be negotiated and changed until it becomes law. The main purpose is: a) Help give future generations a reasonably livable and enjoyable planet. b) Help Americans by creating jobs.

Yeah this is terrible. Cops no longer look like cops, the way cops look is like soldiers. Soldier-cops.

See a therapist, volunteer, exercise, journal, or do something to help with one's own mental health and personal growth. Seems like this issue is why folks choose to spend their time the way they do. It's understandable. But, th

A bunch of the comments in that Twitter thread are from Swedish people pointing out that colleges did close, about 50% of the population chose to social isolate or home-school kids, etc. That it wasn't like no one did nothing. And of c

True. But then wouldn't you want to take a break, or have your software/whatever notifying you to take a break prior to falling asleep?

I think the real question is, why is this trending on HN at this particular moment in time, as opposed to six months ago, one year ago, etc, seeing how Oswald Spengler has been around for a minute, and, I’d imagine, had books written about

Not if we are well-rested in general and healthy, and choose not to drive when we are tired. If we have a particular medical condition / issue then that is a different story. But folks don't randomly fall asleep (I think?) if they

I don't know who Weishaupt is but that's a good point; it's probably in the interest of most major powers to have opaque segments of the global economy.

Yeah but we need more than a few instances to draw general conclusions. Is there like, a study?

Agree w/the other poster. It really can depend on the person. And not everyone has the self-awareness / background knowledge to prepare themselves well. Not unlike how some people don't handle alcohol well. Once or twice seen
