It's absolutely pushed from the top. Nobody outside of extreme religious communities sees increasing the population as a noble goal. At least in the US, children are effectively a tax on the working class. How many people do you know

What a good example. I heard this claim recently from a family member and decided to look it up. It sounds unbelievable and deeply disturbing that Cuomo would knowingly send infected people to be admitted to nursing homes. The way the st

"Internet addiction" seems like a different thing than the rest of those to me. Being addicted to discovering new information and sharing with others sounds pretty healthy to me. I think the difference with HN vs FB is that at so

Thanks for all your answers! I think a lot of us have just ignored social media and missed out on all the interesting hacks that have happened along the way. You've cleared up years of stuff in just a few posts, and it's much ap
