One would also have to know how many people of each background applied for jobs at ebay. This goes even more for remote dev roles. A job post will get a ton of Indian applicants.

Not same situation though. Apple has a dominant position in smartphones in the US. There is not a dominant virtual world yet? Meta is one of several still relatively fledgling options.

Counterpoint banning books in 2021 isn't the same as 2000. Some ban attempts are just disagreements over required curriculum choices not stopping anyone from reading it. Most books are easily accessible in a number of formats where the

Biggest problem the erosion of talent and money from movies to series. Add in the zillions of entertainment options, and movies just are not what they used to be. Less value in movies the less people are invested in who wins.

You can tell by click on them. Has a combo of these things: only one pic that is zoomed in a bit, price, they are on vacation mode, no license plate (different from blocking out license plate) etc. For example: https://www.face

A comment not on the article, but is this one of the longest times a story has been on first or second page (shows 12 hours, course might not be out of "new" for the whole time) and have no comments whatsoever? Surprised as someth

No, isn't exact comparison but it is the same vein. RT.com headlines have actually been relatively straight forward statement of fact with out charged language. I suspect many at the channel are against the war. They also present full

Same could be said for Youtube in Europe, Direct TV, Roku, etc banning Russia Today (RT), Reddit banning .RU domains and so on.

There are people in Ukraine going about their daily business, so no you should not be worried. Putin is just flexing as he needs some small concession to save face for the eventual withdrawal from central Ukraine.

First thing that struck me is how many Chinese made weapons are being used by Ukraine and some by Russia. Looking them up seems some were first designed in Russia by now made in China?

Take that OkCupid stuff with a grain of salt. While I am sure there are general trends that are true, OkCupid didn't isolate the characteristic they were testing. So their stats were just a crude measure.

Main take away is don't trust headlines. The facts are are often much more complex.

Social & local still has room for new useful solutions. Most people don't need new randos in their lives. They might have time to be in group chats with peeps of value. Selecting interests by unverified people isn't the soluti

Stressful but also good. Much more widely known than had not been subject to this threat. Probably good for future career prospects.

This is part of the reason I come to HN. A detailed post on a problem (and sometime solution) I am unaware of. A newbie question. I understand how a pair tickets to say the superbowl would be more valuable than a single ticket, people want

More like it perpetuates the myth that LGBTQ+ is a monolithic group. HIV is more concerning for Gay men for a variety of reasons. There is nothing wrong with pointing out the obvious. Ask anyone who takes prep.

For Neil Young this actually might work out well financially. He gets more media exposure than he has had in 20, 30 years? I won't be surprised if his album sale 5x this year and his streams 10x. Whatever money he loses from not being

we don't know its a scam (or joke?), and its not like HN needs to be cautious on this because of who comes here.
