The NYT used to market itself to advertisers with the observation that "our readers have the highest disposable income of any paper in the US". It gives an interesting insight into politics and the modern Democrat party that the n

"The connection of these boats to any drugs is dubious..." this is simply ridiculous. Boats with 3-4 outboards on the back carrying large bails of some unknown "cargo" transiting well-established drug routes is obviously

I understand that fentanyl is not coming Venezuala but I dont think what you've stated is the devastating point you think it is. The US is also awash with cocaine (20k overdoses a year is the tip of the iceberg). I note that none of th

Seems like every 2nd post on HN, regardless of the actual content, becomes an argument between advocates for the US and China. In the case of China it's particularly egregious as they get to use US platforms to push their cause, whilst

Tell me about the 100k fentanyl deaths each year. How does this volume of drugs reach the US?

The assumption that one side was going "extra-constitutional" whilst the other was always acting in good faith, is ridiculous.

The original Paul Krugman quote “The growth of the Internet will slow drastically, as the flaw in ‘Metcalfe’s law’—which states that the number of potential connections in a network is proportional to the square of the number of participant

China has big problems. They are totally trade-dependent (imports and exports) and some of the worst demographics on the planet apparently. https://youtu.be/UltVl2Qlf6A

I find that naked partisanship is the rule rather than the exception on HN. Papered over with a bit of motivated "logic" but this is mostly just window-dressing.

What cases? Immigration status is not weighted evenly across all races.

Of course, these phones are never going to replace a conventional smartphone. They are really only where you care about size, you want to be contactable when out running etc.

The unihertz Jelly is smaller than these phones https://www.unihertz.com/collections/jelly-series Then there are some dumb phones which are even smaller. I think the Nokia 3310 is pretty tiny but the 4G version is only

I saw it described as "we suddenly discover a new country with millions of super geniuses who are willing to work 24/7 essentially for free". And III add these super geniuses can be instantly cloned on demand.

That sounds great in theory. In practice, "misinformation" ends up being defined as anything the govt finds inconvenient. Or it is selectively applied so that when misinformation comes from all sides of the political spectrum, onl

Agreed. Its a great first step with hopefully more to come.
