this is very tenuous and subjective. typically the mafia is regarded as a type of gang

I'm opening myself up to criticism by saying this, but this is unusually cringeworthy even for XKCD

it may well be suspicious, but this is just how news articles are written [these days?]. exciting controversial claim at the front, explanation for why you should feel a certain way about said claim, some dross, maybe a tweet, then—if you&#

what did Crassus do similarly?

this is more or less how the mafia and the yakuza originated

alcohol production is equally heavily regulated and yet somehow manages fine. perhaps this isn't an issue of bureaucracy, but an issue of time. when alcohol was legalised in the US, it took at least a decade for the legal market to ecl

if you want to find a morphological difference between living and non-living, first you need to define those terms, and therein lies the problem

I mean that is on average >2 lines per day, which doesn't sound like much, but how many people use a line per day? and I'm guessing suicides occur more often on busy lines, so it's significant still

UK trains are very expensive but it's a myth that the service is poor. when I was last in Germany, I took 3 trains. 2/3 were more than 15 minutes delayed and the third was 5 minutes late. obviously 3 is a small sample size, but I&

my search patterns are probably not wildly dissimilar to that >As for Brave... well, I don't abide cryptocurrency in any form, so that's an ideological "nope" for me. I understand distrusting crypto, but this seems li

for the record, I thought of another sphere where product placement is even more normalised: music

>we have different ideas of price doesn't everyone? for clarity, the $5 tier gives you 300 searches a month. with 300 I just know that some months I'd go well over, and some months I wouldn't come close. it's just the

if they're going to involve quantities in pricing, they should just charge per search

fair. I think I'm remembering the (HN classic) Fleming article about how to write exciting fiction. in it he suggests your main character having extra eggs with his meal

I'd love to use Kagi, but honestly the price point is just too high. at $120 a year vs Google for free sadly I'm still going to choose Google. I would be willing to pay something in the region of $3-5 a month

James Bond is odd because of how brazen and normalised the product placement is. I can't think of any other film or tv show of the size where branded products are so central to the theme

this is true, but I'm like 80% sure there's significant astroturfing on HN. look at any post that mentions relations with China. flooded with comments in similar formats to the ones here. I thought China was ..., but then ... and
