It needs to be reiterated because many people missed examples like this in the past. Every new user needs to be made aware of what is really going on, and what Facebook thinks of them as.

If you look at this NFT stuff along with the many other absurd things humanity is busy focusing on, one might deduce that Roger Waters was exactly right with the phrase, "But on eliminating every other reason For our sad demise They lo

No doubt he's done a good job, but he also inherited a great company which was obviously already full of great people. He has done surprisingly well during his time there, but Apple has shifted more into a monopolistic, protectionist c

I'm not arguing for or against his payment amount, but I find it hard to believe someone would work less hard if they were told, "You'll only receive an extra $200 million in 10 years, in addition to your normal salary, inste

I use it on my phone all the time. It almost makes phone browsing tolerable. It's great for getting rid of Medium crap and other FUBAR sites. Plus it typically makes the text larger, so I can read it without glasses.

That space behind me is not useful to me. My food is still crammed up in the < wedge of the now-greatly-slanted back seat and horizontal tray table. My in flight entertainment screen is now angled down, playing a movie for my belly rat

Just because you are allowed to do something doesn't mean you should, or that it's your right to do if it infringes upon someone else's rights. Have you ever flow coach class overseas, and you want to sit upright, but the per

The way the article states the rear passenger's claim is wrong. They say, "No, it was mine. I had it first, for my laptop". From the perspective of the rear passenger, the claim is, "This space, this approximate vertica

Do they? We heard the cries for help, and we assume in most cases a Googler here on HN champions the caller. In fact, I'd like to see some metrics, a transparency report of false positive blocks/deletions which were reversed. But

Hope you get what you want, but I hope it's an opt-in because I do not want it. Depending on the service, I probably do not want to be ME + sub-identities. While a good sleuth (or algorithm) with enough data can probably connect me to

Why make the effort to write something and then give it to a platform which will hide it? Sorry, can't read it. Logged in, but apparently I've foolishly clicked on one too many essays which are locked in Medium.

You can take one fast look at the design and see where the biggest problem is going to be: the lateral (spreading) forces against the ends of the bridge will require some clever anchor or ground lock of sorts, otherwise the ends will just s

That may be true, but a bigger question is, "How much value does social presence provide?" No doubt there are people who really express a need to meet in the same room with others; but as this new remote reality we're current

It's been "not a good time" since 1975. Prior to that, at least in first world countries, you could start with less intelligence and have a much better chance at class improvement and even financially secure retirement than

Factorio is a nice and simplistic (and fun, for a while) way to demonstrated many aspects of software and product development. You go through basic product planning and design, first quick MVP, then some feedback loops where you recognize s

Facebook is smart (and devious) enough to be "transparent" in a way that will not be truthful, since being truthful would confirm many of the beliefs that FB indeed shares vast amounts of misinformation while profiting from that s

Amongst his political group, that is the standard thing to say when someone gets COVID. If that works for them, then he’s fortunate to have a lot of people praying for him. And that’s fine if they believe in it and want to do it.

Just as one block of 8 hour sleep is not what many humans are programmed for, one block of 9 hours in an office is often not what some humans are programmed for. But in both cases, that's what society has ended up adopting. There&#x27

That is and has been one of my best excuses (and a pretty valid one, especially when children are involved). Now this is rather extreme in comparison, but some young families with children live a bit of the slow-nomad life, on a minimal bud

Music, both listening and performing, has been one of the few things in life that really fills me with joy and gives me the strongest (positive) emotions. If I had gotten a music degree, I could have probably been a decent composer and a be

Set a deadline - 6 or 12 months. Cheer yourself up by using that time to plan carefully some of your desired activities. Save as much money as you can during that year. Then quit. It will take three months at least before you find your ba

What you don't understand is that if you hate life, and perhaps if you have money and comforts that you know should help... but you still are miserable, it feels hopeless. The money traps you. It's so hard to imagine taking a hug
