The devices in our hand aren't inherently good or bad. There's plenty of good, and there's plenty of bad. The problem is knowing the difference in the context in which it's being used. And the incentives of companies dev

am i missing something? this is right in the FAQ: ``` Should we be concerned that the atmospheric oxygen supply is declining? This point was addressed in an article by Broecker (Science, Vol. 168, 1537-1538, 1970). Although written many yea

time to avoid those bars. extreme oversight to ensure a 20-year-old doesn't drink. but hey at least the same 20-year-old can drive a car, vote for our public officials, and join the armed forces.

why has this been downvoted so much? what's false about these two statements? Should he/she have added "in my experience"? In my experience, both statements are accurate.

i thought coinbase did just this.... either made recoveries a multi-day thing, or disallowed transfers afterwards. maybe that was blockfi.

The article also points out that "in the coming months" it'll reveal more. Although I agree this isn't that interesting, just judging by the income reported Buffett, Bezos, Musk, paid 19%, 23%, and 30% respectively (not

this would effectively auction off everything you own. What if an original piece of art is priceless to you? Where does it end?

"conspiracy", "nuts" -- perfect use of language to shut any discourse down, playing right into the hand of whatever someone with enough power wants you to think.

Yes this. Even worse I've noticed these new business entities are getting even better at pretending to be real businesses with websites, contact forms, pictures of buildings, and "about us" pages written in pretty poor englis

If hacker news had tags, the "anxiety" tag would be increasingly active these days (prions anyone?), but I feel like this right here should worry people more than it does given how many devices most people carry around at all time

100% agree with others in this thread that my immediate thought was this headline and subheadline are misleading. It doesn't take a bunch of studies (although there are many and thanks for posting some of them) to know that lockdowns,

Isn't everything a bias in some way? But point taken. I don't attend multiple churches, I attend one, and it, like others of its ilk, has been under attack, so observations are of course my own. But if you want to mute the languag
