You can castrate your phone to remove all the pointless crap. I am really happy with the StayFocusd app. In strict mode, it can block all distracting websites and apps, block settings and changing permissions, block installing and uninstall

This feels like it's strictly worse than /r/datascience or /r/machinelearning. Too much fluff and self-promotion, too little comments. Actually scratch that, it looks like ALL the posts are self-promotion.

>I'm not convinced this is the case. What, really? The majority wants blasphemers stoned now, today, in some countries. Why would you think it was better then?

>If an actual majority of people wanted something cancelled, then it probably should be cancelled. I encounter this sentiment on hackernews all the time, and it's honestly baffling to me. Apply this logic to the fifteenth century -

And further, could this become implicit? E.g. if a large enough cultural group - woke brigade, christians, alt-right, whatever - seeds the website, and they upvote mostly each other's posts and comments, I can imagine that this creates

There are A LOT of claims itt, and not nearly enough sources for any of it. It feels like you're right, but what "feels right" turns out to be wrong pretty often.

That's definitely not whataboutism. And you did nothing to address his point. Iirc, the judges and authorities and experts in Venezuela supported Maduro. Guaido nonetheless had a case and it would be wrong for a random tech company to

I am willing to bet that hackernews also does not have an automated system for detecting child porn. And I am certain it didn't when it was still a very new platform. What's your point? By equivalence, you should be calling for ha

And what about countries such as Iran? Somehow I prefer a world with lots of space junk over a world in which the US effectively controls who gets access to space. I honestly can't imagine an international organization that is fair in

I really like this definition. If a human author took it and developed it, it would be a pretty original angle.

My favourite anecdote from that era is this slogan that a small town came up with. "Reagan - enemy number one of the Tutrakan village system!"

[Citation needed], but it was my impression that communist jokes were occasionally spread on purpose by the security forces, just as a sort of valve to release the tension.

You're correct. My mother used to work on exactly this, reverse engineering CPUs. They just gave them a part and told them to figure out how it works, and to replicate it. It is my understanding that by that point, in the late 80s, mos

Hi, I'm not that great with goals, but let me write down a few: - stay at the same workplace for 1 year, OR - start startup #2, OR - be accepted for the London School of Economics, or a comparable degree, OR - start a VC analyst job -
