If you ignore American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Hawaii, governments that were destabilized and replaced with US-approved leaders, and US military bases in dozens of other countries - s

For context, battle.net the service has existed since 1996. Back in the day it was just used for the multiplayer component of games like Diablo and Warcraft. I think it's still meaningful to point this out because even if it wasn&#x2

dang does a generally good job, though there have been times that HN has allowed some discussion that I find quite immoral and heinous, and I was chastised by dang for speaking out against it with strong words. However I get that I am very

i looked into it more and it was apparently actually unrelated to his crohns, hopefully my anecdote doesnt cause you undue stress

Pulling punches while still getting your point across is valuable. Being abrasive detracts from the message and leads to flaming due to tone rather than content.

HN is really, really negative. Like overwhelmingly negative. I am sure there is "curiosity" in some amount but it's the minority. I keep coming back to it for reasons I don't know.

TED talks are overwhelmingly people wanting to be successful in capitalism. To have a talk pointing out the flaws of a system people desperately want to succeed in is abrasive and probably causes discomfort for the general TED audience.

The problem is that a company can be a revolving door of people taking the fall for crimes. The better dissuading action is to force the company to shutter operations for a set period of time. It's only fair that such a catastrophic pu

Why do people go to jail and lose all ability to make income, but corporations don't? Corporations should get virtual jail time where they're not allowed to operate for a set period of time and have all their rights stripped away.

Anti musk hyperbole in a Tesla thread, how predictable

anti Musk and anti Tesla astroturfing is a tale as old as time. A lot of it has always been rooted in people with financial interests in Tesla doing poorly I always flag these topics. The comments are nearly verbatim identical to the last 2

I remember being a teen when Google Health rolled out (checking online now they gave up on it in 2012, no surprise) and writing down the entirety of my medical history in it.

For me at least, Google sends me monthly (quarterly?) updates on my location history and prompts me to review it. I assume people get this by default, and so anyone checking their google account email would see these emails and open them to

GPS is only so accurate on phones by itself. I assume harvesting SSIDs helps a lot for knowing specifically which stores you're shopping at in a dense area with weak GPS signal. It's very accurate with it's "How did you

I think this this whole Spotify situation is pretty funny. We're seeing the great struggle between greed (they spent so much on Rogan) and wanting to exert control/protect a brand.

Hyperbole like this doesn't help. I'm not an advocate of ivermectin because I have no idea what the science is behind it, but calling it horse dewormer is just disingenuous. This is like the leftist version of the right wing media
