I think they are just trying to make it easy to make a story-like webpage (as you mentioned nat geo or NYT do this at times). However someone with no web experience who just wants to tell a story can't make a complicated site like tha

I was just drawing what you said on the whiteboard, and I was like.. uh, am I missing something or am I a super genius? I am positive the latter is incorrect. I had to re-read the first paragraph multiple times until I understood the goat w

Yeah WhatsApp is the complete norm in the US but almost no one uses it in the US.

Ok thanks for making me cry, haven't seen that since it was live. How has it been two years already.. damn.

First, I'm not taking a hard position on anything here- I'm linking the Senate Intelligence Committee's findings. If you don't believe it? Well, that's your problem I'm just stating what's in there >Th

But my point is "it's the norm". Either you use WhatsApp or you don't talk to people. And I'm not saying this is a bad thing, really.. I think "monopolies" have their place in standardizing things that we

WhatsApp is basically the norm outside of the US from what I can tell? So yeah, there's really no "competition". Either you have whatsapp or you don't talk to people. And it's highly used for cross-business communi

Oh god, the 'secret'.. You are making me think when my mom was obsessed with it, and she started to actively think of toasters (for whatever reason). There was an old school screensaver on probably a windows 2000ish computer that

It's easy to say "strict regulations that stunted opportunity for growth" when you are a billionaire and don't need the protections which are meant to protect normal working class people.

Your proof is typing 'propaganda on tiktok' into google? Have you typed 'propaganda on hackernews' or on facebook/twitter/reddit or any other social media? Everything in the world is going to have some form of

What exactly are they going to use against anyone? The truth? Also, what kind of credibility could anyone attach to it? Hey TikTok claims that Person A liked video B on date C. And what proof do they have? They could already just create a

A million tons doesn't even sound like that much? 1 million metric tons = 1 million cubic meters. That's only a 100m cube of water..

As he says posting on HN... This place (like any messageboard) can be as toxic as anywhere else in it's own way.

From what I'm reading here, does this mean the vent above the stove should be on all the time while cooking? I will often turn on our vent, but it's certainly not something I'm doing every time I turn on the stove..

Pretty much the same here.. I drink a lot of coffee just to have a hot drink, but I can drink coffee at night and it doesn't seem to do anything. Maybe a little, but I hardly notice.

What? At any time, you can download your google docs data and have it locally. You can convert it to word/excel formats. This makes anything you are trying to argue completely irrelevant. If they basically forced you to keep your data

Eh, the thing is until you said that it never occurred to me. However before I started to ever really code in the web world I was always wondering if javascript was really like a semi-java hack on the web or whatever. Everyone knows that

Sure, but that really has nothing to do with the topic at hand. The point is, just because you are working from home (and have access to 100% of what you 'need' for work since you are always working from home) doesn't mean yo

Curious, why are you being intentionally obtuse?

I mostly agree with this. As absurd as it sounds, I think you are basically correct. The people with money do what they can to keep propping things up because they are the ones that massively gain on it. They can afford to keep risking an

Honestly that is just bs. Gold is a physical thing that is scarce and has real uses other than being treated as 'money'. We have only mined a cube with 28 meter sides of gold from the dawn of time! It's useful- that's
