   It's frustrating because it seems like there is a simple heuristic to help detect fleeceware. That is `yearly_price/weekly_price`. I just saw a ringtone app with a weekly price just one-third of the yearly price ( $30/$10 ) a

   CSIS does foreign work. They are responsible for anything related to national security. Internal and external. From Wiki: “There is no restriction in the Canadian Security Intelligence Service Act on where CSIS may collect "security in

    If you have a friend who’s been waiting two years for an ultrasound, get them to contact a news outlet. It would be headline news and they would get in instantly. If a journalist confirms and publishes the story, I will donate US $1000 to t

    “Studies are false.” has got to be the absolute most low effort, I’m-not-even-going-to-try response in HN history. “[I] go back their frequently” is another absolute classic. I’ve had more rigorous and intellectual debates with my 9 year ol

    Many do, yes. Many also return. Why are you insisting on using absolutes in your comments?

    Sounds like you’ve got a bone to pick. Upward mobility in Canada is actually better than the US. Sources: https://www.brookings.edu/blog/social-mobility-memos/2014/07... https://stonecenter.gc.cuny

    I've got a Blue Air 211+ and am pretty happy with it. I have extraordinarily bad seasonal allergies. Well, I'm happy except the fact that the filters have gone up in price by 40% in the past year. I suspect this must be standard i

    What those comedians say has zero effect on your career. Like it or not, Musk represents his employees. His childish babbling is actively hurting the reputation of the company these people work for. Thus, it is affecting their careers.

    Just a heads up: Your links are broken. I think it's because you are using Reddit's syntax which HN doesn't support.

    I’m a (non-American) outsider unfamiliar with either of those, but a quick reading leads me to believe that your description is so reductionist as to be intentionally misleading. There’s more nuance to it than “attempts to overturn civil ri

    Hey "Bruh". The points you're making may be perfectly valid but your tone is condescending and childish. Maybe dial it back a bit? We're all very glad you've found your utopia.
