Ok, I did a little reading on that one, and that's pretty close to genocide. The idea that everything that touches China is toxic seems reasonable, but it still doesn't explain why are we suddenly drawing the line at censorship in

I'm not defending China. I'm just surprised at how shocked everyone seems to be that media companies are peddling influence for China, because they'll do it for literally anyone with money.

What genocide? This whole thing boiled over due to a proposed law to allow extradition of HK residents to China, which is bad, but it's not genocide.

Yeah and the other one uses child labor to harvest palm oil (or did until very recently). The bigger the organization, the more likely you're going to find some bad stuff. Apple's got worker suicides. China has probably harveste

Both seem bad. Isn't the thing to be offended about that you're consuming media that you think is an artistic work, but it's got some propaganda mixed in with it? If you're doing business with Pepsi and your workers are

I think it depends who you are and what you like. There's more euphoric stimulant stuff out there, and mind blowing psychedelics, but nothing else feels as overall good as xanax. I'd take benzos over opiates any day. But I hav

Why is this such a big deal? If companies can buy product placements in TV shows, I don't see why China can't buy censorship. Apple, the NBA, Google, and Blizzard are all trying to make money. Somehow shilling for Pepsi is widel

Is it legal to use encryption over HAM in the US?

It's critical for politicking with people that don't internet so good. As a remote worker, that's the main thing I can't do. Some people can only form connections in person.

Benzos are extremely helpful for providing relief from anxiety and stopping panic attacks, and everyone should have some and know how to use them responsibly. The level of utility of being able to turn off anxiety and fear is incredible.

I'm not shocked that Joe and Hunter golfed together, or that Hunter's business partners were there too. But there remains 0 evidence that Joe did anything wrong, and even the daily mail says that in the article you linked.

I know HN isn't really the place for this, but since you asked and I did a fairly deep dive into this just to know what's going on, here's what seems to have happened, complete with evidence to the contrary: From Wikipedia h

I'd be more shocked if the headline was "Facebook Now Requires Ads to be Truthful".

I always hear about identity being tied to work, but I wonder if that's been tested in recent years. Pre-internet, sure, that makes sense. But now that you can do literally anything you want as long as you have the free time to learn

Why won't we have those things in our lifetimes? None of those seem like insurmountable problems even given today's technology.

Serious question, why should anyone have to work? It's easy to imagine an alternate reality where UBI is a thing and working is optional. I think there's a legitimate case to be made that freeing people from labor should be soci

I've found it to be about as bad as conservative media makes it out to be. It really depends where you are, but I've seen people smoking crack (I assume, maybe meth), and I've seen people shooting up in plain view in dayligh

Other watchers would watch those watchers. Government officials would not be exempt from data collection. People would eventually learn that you can't bribe or blackmail because it's impossible to do without having it recorded a

All phones could be mandated to record audio/video at all times and stream it to government servers for archiving and processing, for example. And you could set up society so that you'd be useless without carrying your phone, as w

How is the idea that we can remove all crime faulty? Blackstone is just saying that we shouldn't try to remove all crime because it's more harmful to society to try than to let some crimes go unsolved. His main argument is tha

Good thought, but I don't think surgeons are making pool-of-gold-coins money ;) I'd definitely watch the movie if someone made a dark film about Scrooge McDuck's younger years as a crime boss...

Personally, I'd like to take any path that ends with a Scrooge McDuck pool.

If Apple would sell me one of their dev phones that gives me root, I'd switch from Android in a second. I don't understand why this is such a big deal for them. They could even charge more for it, or make it so tech support is ex

As far as I know, Olney's lesions have only ever been shown at heroic dosages in mice. It's also worth noting that DXM is being studied in research as an antidepressant. I'm aware of at least one company working on it in com

Citation needed. DXM is often packaged with Tylenol, which I believe explains all the liver failure cases we've seen regarding DXM abuse.

I would love to read everything you would write about this. I'm sure most people here would. I can't believe you've been doing a whole genre of activity for over 25 years that I just learned exists today!
