You are not the target audience. The fact that HN thinks this spells doom for Instagram just shows how out of touch HN users can be with the average Internet user. When facebook bought Instagram and changed everything around, people screame

Twitter has also been doing this since a few months ago. And there's no way to disable it, no matter how often I tell it to "see this less often". Sometimes half the posts I see on the feed are recommended posts from people I

Another query you can use for another kind of alert is "Glassdoor Alert: Inflated Reviews site:glassdoor.com" for companies that were caught trying to fake positive reviews to flood out negative ones.

If you invent an animal that is designed to grow muscle tissue for harvesting and isn't sentient nor suffers, you've solved lab meat, in an organic container. While many veg ns grew a distaste for meat, that would indeed satisfy t

Ok, sure. It's our fault. But now that the maintainer became a malicious actor, I hope they are booted from the FOSS world and their github gets shutdown for illegal behaviour. This behaviour cannot go on unpunished.

Most fruits, like apples and avocados, don't grow true to seed. The characteristics of the fruits of the seedlings or a tree are practically random. If your plant 10 seeds from the same apple, you'll get 10 trees with totally diff

I think because DDG likes to pretend they are not an alternative frontend for Bing?

It's not just that. There are critical mass effects where, after a certain level, positive feedback loops will cascade to all systems. There's definitely a point where we're fucked and won't be able to unfuck ourselves.
