That’s a pretty broad definition of conspiracy that seems like it would include almost all human endeavors, no?

To the doubters replying to this comment I have to say, anecdotally, those stats check out with the people in my life. It’s a lot more common than you think. And no, I’m not talking about people who have sex and then regret it.

Yep, this. How is Discord in any way the problem here? The problem is that they had gave unvetted personnel access to military secrets, not which chat software was being used.

“Another Earth” was a pretty good quiet sci-fi movie. (Not trying to be pedantic, but your phrasing just immediately put my brain to work on trying to think of counterexamples)

Yeah, this is what I do. I mean I know my data is being collected all over the place through other people clicking “yes, take all my data” on this and many other services and apps, but I still don’t like doing it to other people. So what th

WhatsApp claims to be private and secure, but they insist on slurping up your entire address book before they'll let you use the app (or to be more specific, you can't do things like name a contact or start a group chat without al

There are few things that will whoosh me back to my childhood critic-in-Ratatouille style faster than looking at a page of his artwork. Cheers, Al Jaffee.

I think they’re trying to convey the idea that all aspects of child safety became something that could (and should) be packaged, marketed, and sold, and that any social safety nets society might offer are insufficient or that you’re morally

I struggle with dark rumination a lot, and I think the parent commenter’s advice is helpful as a practice , not as a quick fix. My understanding is that brain circuitry is sorta like paths across and uneven field: it’s always easier to tra

At some point even the people saying "I don't like Twitter but I have to use it for work" will discover that they can't use it for work because of policies like this. I wonder what Musk thinks is valuable about Twitter

Whether it qualifies as suitable for HN is another question, but I think the notable thing here is the anodyne and reasonable tone of the press release contrasted with the chaos and disingenuous touting of values of Twitter under Musk thus

True story: when I was in college I was at a crosswalk waiting for a walk signal, and two people walked up. One of them started pressing the walk button furiously, and she said, "It won't change unless you press it a bunch of time

I feel like investors are taking a calculated risk, though, whereas depositors (not unreasonably, in my opinion) thought their money in the bank was “money in the bank”.

Tiny copywriting nit in case anyone from Kagi is here: > The new Standard plan pricing will be $5/month, with 200 free searches included. They’re not free; they’re $5/month. I know it sounds pedantic but on first read I thoug

Out of curiosity, how many minors do you believe undergo sex-reassignment surgery?

This is a list of really good movies! But if OP thinks The Matrix is too spicy I think a lot of these will be too much for sure.

As an American progressive, here's how I feel about it. I have no doubt that others will have a different take. I don't think it was tribalized by American media ; I think covid hit when much of the world, not least the US, was e

When I broke my collarbone a few years back, urgent care turned me away. Maybe others have had better luck there, but in my experience they're not good for much more than maybe stitches and dispensing over-the-counter pain medication.
