They pay well. That’s it. That’s the only argument for working for facebook. They don’t add anything beneficial to society. They exist to sell ads.

Would it be? I'd argue the current US administration is entirely propped up by television. Hell, the president seems to "rule" based on what Fox News said last night.

Sounds like a business opportunity. A simple tool to create an ID that passes checks with any information on it you'd like.

So a couple of people in Japan tried ranch for the first time and it is news worthy? If this isn’t a paid marketing post, you should apply!

trumps supreme negotiation skills have gotten us a worse agreement than before the senseless, baseless, and aggressive attack on Iran. What a complete moron.

Opt out is the same as forcing this on people that don’t want it. You know this. Microslop proving their name time and time again.

Just to add to the feedback. No one, anywhere, ever wants this or anything like it. Do not inject anything that is outside of the context of the session, ever. This is how you get your software banned at large companies. Question for you, d

Screens are drugs. They are uniquely and magically addictive. Try to take away a kids tablet, a teen's phone, or an adult's phone. They will fight just like an addict.

You misread. Most people do not understand temperature on the Kelvin scale. As such, you should not use it to communicate in a general setting such as this.

To be a stickler, communication requires respect for your audience. The vast majority of everyone understands a 1.8 degree C delta. I would argue that very few people anywhere would understand a temperature delta given in kelvin.

I would argue the core problems are the massive amounts of salt and the fact that none of the meat alternatives tasted good. They all taste off.

When most people complain about ads, they are complaining about targeted ads. Job postings, Show HN, and other ads on HN are contextually relevant to a majority of the users and require no tracking to present. This post appears to be about

Yet another reminder that everyone everywhere should be blocking all ads all the time. I don't say that lightly as absolutes tend to not be the appropriate solution, but an absolute stance of blocking ads is appropriate.

You're right. "Build Quality" isn't the right term. Maybe "Overall Quality" or "Device Quality" would work better. The point is that my MBP has held up MUCH better over time than my Surface, which i

Taking the laptop to the office and back home again daily. The hinge has gotten weak over time. The connection to take off the screen is very fragile, tapping the button to enable removal only works about half the time. Then, when re-atta

It really isn’t. The track pad on surface is terrible compared to Mac. The surface has some weird edges and other spots to get caught on. I’ve seen a few with serious damage from typical daily use. The surface I have is barely hanging toget

In the office? No. But at lunch or outside of the office is not controlled by work place policy.

While I'd like to agree with you, and do in some cases, there are many cases where this just isn't a feasible approach. For example, a peer coworker has a pair of these. I just don't interact with her while she is wearing th

Are there any less obviously aggressive tactics we can use? Wear something that is blinding to the cameras, or something else to obfuscate?

100%. Especially on topics involving countries with vast online propaganda operations.

Those videos of Israeli soldiers raping prisoners, beating prisoners, spitting on or beating people just walking in the streets. Yeah, so much propaganda. We can see it with our own eyes.

Yes, they did and still do target children. We’ve all seen videos of Israeli soldiers shooting kids that are running away from them in the back. Yes, murder cases for each act of crime against humanity. Yes, Nuremberg style trials for the l

The difference here is that this is the president doing this rug pull. Using his power to make billions is not exactly enshrined in the constitution.

I’ve noticed this behavior for all Google properties. Every time I click “not interested” “don’t show me this again” or anything similar, it seems to have no effect as the best case. The worst case I’ve seen is when clicking these options s

Thank you! I’ve been searching for a term to describe this type of “ad blindness”. I’ve also trained myself to recognize and not consume ads anywhere they are not blocked.

To further your argument, look at the XBOX. It is impossible to tell which is the latest model by name alone. Where the playstation is simple, the latest is the 5, the previous was the 4, and the one before that was the 3.

Correct, I assumed others would understand I meant since the last civil war. Edited the comment to clear up my intent. Thank you.

Do you have any criticisms to the parent comment? As an American, they seem pretty spot on to the current climate. I'd argue we've never been closer to civil war than we are today[0], primarily due to trumps regime invading citie
