Empirical data shows this as well, so I guess this just means there’s a gap in propaganda convincing workers to accept less and less each year while productivity increases. I’m sure the media will correct this misperception quickly.

On the front page for a few minutes and then presumably flagged? (It’s now gone.) Seems like maybe these are things HN also doesn’t want to admit about the poor.

I hope they finally crack down on Instagram (and maybe some of Facebook’s other apps?) which make you go to the browser to deactivate/delete your account. I’ve done this a few times (temporarily deactivate) and requiring me to switch

I think the parent comment was referring to the characterization of ProPublica as just a “website”.

Not sure if you’re being sarcastic, but surely taxpayers subsidizing billionaires’ rocket testing and allowing the gains to be privatized is a net loss for society, no?

I hope this attack aims to destroy the infrastructure of an environmentally disastrous industry and isn’t just a ransomware attack.

What are those subtle flaws? I’m not yet 40 so I guess I’m gullible like Einstein.

The saying goes, once you learn enough history you either become a Marxist or a liar. The man whose name is now synonymous with “smart” has a nice essay about this: “Why Socialism?”, by Albert Einstein https://monthlyreview.org&#

Semi-related: Jillian C. York’s recent book “Silicon Values” talks a bit about the “digital apartheid” in Palestine. Media companies like Facebook often have no presence in the occupied territories and let the Israeli office and policies a

It’s too bad the system isn’t collectively owned by the users.

Is there a way to synchronize this with 1Password via a plug-in? I would like to use pass as another backup of my 1Password database.

I was disappointed when I first heard Signal was adding this (and not using Mondeo) but these points male sense. I almost certainly won’t use it, and probably none of my close friends either, and it sounds like it can be disable entirely i

As an iOS and Mac user, I use Safari now 100% for browsing. It has basically all of the features I need. I think Firefox has improved significantly in recent years as well, but I haven't used it in a while.

Yeah... it's a thread about the US's shitty broadband situation. What do you expect?

I think HN should enact stronger Coronavirus-related moderation like Reddit has. This is a bad post from a software engineer (not a health professional) and it offers an amateur analysis without even providing a real suggestion. What bene

This is just not true. Biden’s campaign has complained about the way this caucus was run: https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/481315-biden-campaign-... Bernie’s campaign, on the other hand, has multiple times r

I have a more optimistic view. Bernie Sanders’ campaign explicitly asks people if they are willing to fight for people they don’t know, and his campaign has the largest donor base and the biggest rallies.

People constantly act so surprised when liberals in the business community are tolerant of fascists, but this is naive and just shows how unfamiliar someone like Gruber is with historical events. The New Yorker just published a great piece
