That sounds annoying, but honestly pretty much any cloud backup service will sort this for you iCloud's not great, but Google One, Dropbox etc all work fine on iPhone.

Commenter above isn't defending those things though... And in fact revenge porn, CP and other awful content appear across all social platforms. And just like Pornhub they remove them when notified. Thought experiment, what happened to

That's absolutely not the issue. The issue is an economic system that prioritises what can be readily produced and consumed, rather than the most degrees of freedom that can be created. Whether in terms of general purpose computing dev

Incredibly disingenuous article. Other than pot at the state level, and psychedelics in Oregon, the US has not liberalised drug laws - especially laws around the kind of drugs that result in addiction, death and mass incarceration. The auth

Because mental funds are non-fungible. Amortising health costs through progressive income tax helps a) keep overall costs down, as the state centrally organises the health system / collectively negotiates with providers and b) is more

Part of the reason (perhaps the whole reason) for that is that there's a cohort of people who upload commercial sounds to freesound for some reason. Extremely annoying.

You realise anyone with a street facing yard can set one up right? Including any resident of any neighbourhood, regardless of wealth or ethnicity. You literally just need a box and some books. Both of which are widely available for free or

Not enough demand for high priced apartments != not enough demand for affordable accommodation. In fact, they're literally in opposition.

You realise your point is moot right? The economic arguments against the minimum wage rely on the idea that it's a necessity to underpay for business to function. The less people underpaid, the less strong the argument for having to en

Yes. It's your wage that's the issue, not theirs. Feeling like you deserve more, should never be a reason to deprive others. New Zealands cost of living is extremely high, and wages need to be commensurate to allow ordinary social

Finder is certainly less visually appealing since it became monochrome, but a disaster? Its preview tools are excellent. It provides tabbed view, which is bizarrely still not available in Windows explorer. It's excellent at remembering

Right? And the message they carry is that adulthood is possible. The entire point of dolls for both boys and girls is to play at being adults, which they do spontaneously cross culturally anyway. These toys facilitate fantasies of empowerme

Do you not have 'tea spoons' in the US? Or is that what you're referring to as a 'regular spoon'?

Unfortunately that's not an option available to the Palestinians. You don't get to have a one-state solution when you're effectively held prisoner in an apartheid occupied territory.

Here's the thing most people on Hackernews have missed. Owning an NFT does not usually mean you own the copyright to the image, and this is a good thing. It's not introducing artificial scarcity, its purchasing collectable braggin

Except that there's a huge market for 'official' numbered prints. Often the sales of print editions by an artist can rival or exceed the value of an original painted piece. These prints are more more authentic than any other

I'd go further than this. I know plenty of musicians who have far in excess of a few tens of thousands of fans worldwide, but couldn't possibly survive on the income from their music. Similarly I know some writers who's books

Outside perspective - here in Europe, enormous numbers of people in late middle age to old age return to university out of love of learning. Despite low to negligible impact on wages etc. They generally have better outcomes in terms of over

Wow. As a European I had no idea that Canadian education was so expensive. Was under the mistaken impression that it was largely free, like health care. Obviously much cheaper than the US - which is life destroyingly expensive. But the figu

I don't think this is particularly an issue with the way NFTs work - except in regard to their choice of Ether, and Ether's current issue with gas prices. I think there's a lot of potential in the existing markets. It's

Interface is a huge issue. It's easy to see why - there are certainly gifted individual devs in the open source space with design / UX chops. But in terms of involvement in community projects there's little incentive for UX p

With all due respect 'Gimp works well enough for my purposes' is the issue. Gimp does not work well enough for most professional image editing purposes, audacity doesn't work well enough for any professional audio purposes. B

Hypothetically, NFTs are amazing. They have the potential to revolutionise royalties and help artist directly profit from the success of their work. There are successful marketplaces like Nifty Gateway for visual NFT's and some under d

Not sure why this is being downvoted. Gimp has a high learning curve and is primitive compared to contemporary commercial tools. I completely understand a disdain for Adobe's subscription model, but there are fantastic relatively low c

'Euphoria' brings up a little known series from 2012, rather than the popular HBO series of the same name.
