Here in Brazil we once had an actual clown on a representative election, with a slogan that translates to "I literally can't make it worse!" (but was a pun in Portuguese.) He was the most voted candidate, and is now a profess

Some of the winner's planks: * Pretending that an election should decide the result of a corruption trial. Yeah, Binface jokes are more attractive to me too.

What you are missing is that it's not enough for a fraction of devices to have parental control. If you want kids to not access social networks, you need to have most of them out. If only a minority is out, they will just be outcast. T

If somebody missed that one news, one can easily get to the conclusion that SpaceX tried to manipulate index funds to buy their shares, and sold into an incredibly high valuation to keep the money. Not to reinvest it into the business.

I made my account here in 2011, I don't know how it was before. But I understand the OP was talking about how HN is today.

What doesn't save you from having to rewrite the entire system. (Even though, no, that's not typical. That's a tiny minority of them.)

ANATEL says we will have authenticated numbers by 2028. After that, it's a matter of pressuring the government to punish the people doing the undesired calls. The second implementation (AFAIK, we are in the 3rd now) of that no-call lis
