When Trump started his campaign, the phrase "The Donald" was definitely more of a meme. The content of that sub was indeed "so-over-the-top-this-must-be-satire" type content... Pepe memes, crude photoshops of Trump as a

She's right, and not just about r/T_D but in so many other subreddits, -- some stood up for the singular purpose of being racist, and some that are just racist on top of whatever other thing they represent -- and the uncomfortab

Yeah... my eyebrows raised the first time I heard about this type of thing. Someone I know was in a news segment shot and produced by some company I had never heard of before (I don't recall the name). They said it would be on the news

Is this an honest concern of yours? Do you feel like there is a significant amount of people dying because someone has decided to harvest the vital organs of someone still alive?

I know there is a rally around this happening now, but I think it's pretty obvious that Disney was simply saying if you reply to their message with that hashtag then they want to be able to re-post your message as part of their marketi

Exactly what kind of clout do you think he has? What kind of audience? He's a local celeb here on HN, and more broadly a somewhat prominent figure in tech circles, but he's not Bill Gates. Certainly he isn't the kind of guy

I believe LabCorp's Men's Health Test is relatively popular amongst guys looking to check their testosterone levels. The results can be taken to a "men's health physician", or a "bio-identical hormone physician

There really is no reason at all to not support macOS apps when you've given the device a keyboard and a trackpad+cursor. In a lot of ways, this form factor is exactly what I would want my Macbook to be... ultra-portable, touch-screen
