   The irony when NeoWin covers it's whole page with "promoted content" when you try and back out of the page.

   Most addictions will ruin your life - whether it is gambling, drugs or alcohol.

   Not really commenting on the politics side, but do Americans realise sports betting has been legal in other countries for decades? (Since 1960 in the UK at least). Yes, there were a few fixes when in-game betting and exchanges first came in

   If it wasn't for 4Chan, we might never have solved the Haruhi problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superpermutation#Lower_bounds,... I used to go on a curated version of 4Chan via Telegram. Yes there is a lot of

   I wish my bloody commuter train into London had Starlink. Even when the onboard wifi works you are limited to 100mb of traffic. I get a better 5g signal on the Jubilee line than I do on an overground train.

    This is what happens when people argue past each other on "Trust the science". Science is good, but it's mediated via corruptible humans.

    In the days before the web, when bandwidth between sites was limited, Lotus Notes was amazing. It will beats outlook as a mail client in a lot of ways, such as having actual usable full text search.

    I used to work for Lotus, supporting 1-2-3. Mucking around with autoexec.bat, config.sys, emm386 etc to get 1-2-3 to load was fun. Lots of TSRs using up memory. The amount of times I had to tell people to create a "clean config" b

    I think I had some usenet posts from the early 90s, if you mean the internet more generally.

    Same in the UK. Instead of us generating electricity via coal, we get other people to do it less cleanly and import it instead. That way our hands are clean.

    They have a whole "That Happened" subreddit just for the rubbish that people post, let alone AIs.

    If people think Elite Overproduction ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elite_overproduction ) is causing strife now, wait until tens of thousands of people with degrees get thrown out of work.

    I agree, but it's not a shoestring budget. They also seem to run a surplus every year: The Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) maintains a significant financial surplus and a growing, healthy balance sheet, with net assets reaching approximatel

    I think if you read "On Killing" by Grossman, parades etc are almost like an ancient Greek purification ritual. Killing is the biggest taboo and people need societal "absolution" afterwards. The absence of this for Vietn

    Having people who need help on buses instead of in treatment isn't safe for them or other passengers. Just look at Jordan Neely or Iryna Zarutska.

    They can, but then a bunch of Delta soldiers drop out of the sky and take them back to America to be charged.
