It sounds to me like what you are saying is that developers have discovered it is best to offer an amazing free product to the whole world in order to get them involved in the game, and then this attracts rich people, who then go ahead and

Does firejail or any of those similar tools offer protection from this sort of thing?

Yeah I'm glad you asked, I do have a question. I read that comic linked above, it was incredibly horrifying, but as I kept reading, something felt off about it. The guy who wrote it is clearly a professional writer and he uses many c

Huh, you are absolutely right. The internet is full of articles saying the exact opposite, but none of them compare California to other states. Turns out this is part of a push, by certain political groups, to introduce even more laws to

What I think is hurting science more than anything else is people conflating academia with science. Academia, the process where ideas are evaluated on how popular they are, has been around for thousands of years, usually controlled by reli

This reminds me of agriculture under the Soviet Union. Stalin wanted to build a technocracy with the brightest in charge of there specialized fields, so he brought in the most famous Russian agronomist, Lysenko, and gave him complete contr

The reason no one is building expensive apartments in these areas with socialist like governments is because of things like rent control and laws that disadvantage landlords, and which make the prospect of leasing to poor people completely

Good section in there for people who think sanctions are bad for Putin >Things changed, especially after Western sanctions were introduced in 2014, and mostly because of money. Before 2014–2016, we had these oligarchs, and they were, at

What a ridiculous article. People playing monopoly are greedy when they get rich on monopoly money? Mercedes drivers are less likely to stop at cross walks (never mind they are old and have no idea what they are doing)? Oh rich people don

Yeah that's a good point. There is not a single person complaining about cancel culture today that wouldn't immediately join the snarling mob and try to cancel someone that argued something like "we should rape 1 year olds&q

There is no connection between this and what is in the article, which is about age verification for viewing adult content. If you are commenting on social media, those companies already have all your information.

>In Germany you study for free. By "free" I think what you are trying to say is that in Germany working class people, the majority of whom don't go to college, pay for rich kids to go to college, rather than having those p

That made no sense so I followed your link and found that C is uncontrived not contrived, which then makes perfect sense. Every option has either 2 words that make no sense, or one word that makes no sense with "her movements were na

What a ridiculous rewriting of history. Fascism has a huge body of work starting most famously with Giovanni Gentile, the father of fascism, and then going back through many italian philosophers like Mazzini, Rosmini, Gioberti, Spaventa an

In case it isn't clear, this article is not someone who was there talking about the history of fascism. There are plenty of history books for that. The whole point of this article is to give a different perspective on fascism and to

I'm almost certain Brave would have something like this too as advertising is their business model, right?

I know exactly what you mean. What people don't realize though, is this idea of creating scams for extracting money from trust fund kids has been around for a very long time, it's called the stock market. I also think these thing

Everyone in the comments repeating the basic facts about complex number they learned in high school needs to read the article. This is Physics Today. Every person who reads it or contributes is already aware of what complex numbers are.

You know, normally I agree with you. But I looked it up, and Intel has only barely tripled revenue in the last 20 years. Their stock price has followed almost exactly this increase in revenue. These are not what I would call super gains,

I know it sounds radical, but I think all mergers should be banned all together. capitalism works best when good companies with a good culture are allowed to grow, become powerful, then die when they turn to shit, and leave room for the yo

The revelations book fits this description. And we already have a religion that bases itself around it: the Jehovah Witnesses. While your idea sounds cool in theory, in practice the results is a crazy cult which no one in their right mind

I'm glad you brought that up. I feel the class warfare aspect of these things is under appreciated.

For anyone confused by this terribly written article, what I think they are trying to say is the following: Researchers trap ultracold atoms in a gas that is very dilute. The diluteness means the atoms can't react and combine into mol

I have never met a physics student that even knows what functional analysis even is, despite it being at the core of quantum mechanics. I can't even imagine why someone in a physics department would learn about measure theory. True t

I think starting with a guy who looks almost exactly like Tom Cruise in the first place really gives the computer the advantage it needs to look believable. You can see him here https://youtu.be/p7-B8S734T4?t=77

I come to HN to learn new things in fields I know little about, like tech and computers, I always find the comments to be authoritative and interesting. However, whenever I read the comments on any subject I happen to know something about,
