Oh, we should fear the fascist underpinnings of a "privacy focused" phone with an "uncensorable app store" designed by a yuppie who has no idea what he's doing. Are you being serious? I was expecting some kind of ph

What are "the far-right's pet hardware projects"? We shouldn't use Brave because the CEO, not the company, has a particular political (and moral) position you don't approve of - one which has no chance in hell of ev

It seems to me that the new OS arms race is about tooling, not just base UX, and Windows is starting to play catch up. The modern Mac OS and Linux desktop environments don't just match up to Windows, but surpass it in many respects. I

That's not what they're saying. They're saying we should have protected those demographics and let the rest get infected.

I have been getting the sense that this is a continuation of Trumpers vs. Democrats, and their respective apologists throughout the west. Whatever the hell this is, it's getting hot and if we don't figure out a way to cut through

Did the antivaxxers lie about how the vaccines would make us reach herd immunity and stop transmission? Or that they would end the crisis? Or that there are no risks involved in taking them? They may have over-exaggerated and come up with b

It's not exactly hypocritical because we know that the Covid vaccines were both rushed and lied about. We still don't have full transparency about them, and the companies that made them are trying to make it as opaque as possible.

What are these arguments though? This is clearly a failure of the government, not a problem caused by unvaccinated people. If you lose infrastructure during a prolonged crisis, instead of building more: you are failing. I don't underst

So I could go to a doctor and ask for exemption on the grounds that I'm a young male and I'm most susceptible to getting Myocarditis from the shots? Or that I've already had Covid and there's good evidence that I don&#x2

I asked if you can prove that they stop hospitals from being overwhelmed, not whether they were effective. So far it's not looking very good, is that why you support the decision to mandate the shots?

Is that excuse something you'd use as a defense in court? Because that looks like mismanagement to me, and changes nothing. After two years, there should be more ICU beds, not thousands less.

Utter insanity. Who told you a "real" lockdown would stop the virus? Where did you get this "fact" from?

Are you serious? Let me ask you why we haven't eradicated influenza? Not all viruses are the same, and neither are all vaccines.

He said what most poor people have been saying the entire time. They're willing to take the risk, because the risk is lower than all the other problems they have now. Now, the question is: should you care what poor people say?

Do you think, maybe, that has something to do with Germany losing 4000 ICU beds? https://www.dw.com/en/germanys-icu-medics-expect-covid-surge...

You cannot make this virus extinct . These vaccines do not accomplish this goal, the end.

Are you saying Bill Clinton was able to hide his diddling of teenagers from the Secret Service this whole time? Like, they just found out when we did?

I don't understand why HN users downvote questions (they don't like). This one should just have a simple yes or no response and 1 point.

Well, when you think about it - it makes total sense. I imagine it felt like true freedom for them being 30000ft in the air with no one to barge in or stop them from doing what they wanted. The flight destinations were just pretense.

The IMF didn't deny this happened. It's pretty clear that he was saying the truth about this, unless you think all bad people behave like Bond villains. Also, you'd have to assume that no other nation state has spoken about t

Aren't stablecoins kind of pointless and dangerous? We all know that Tether is a huge scam, and it underpins like 75% of Bitcoin transactions - meaning if it crashes it could take Bitcoin with it. Adding onto that, stablecoins only rea

What's wrong with using Chromium though? I understand most of the work being done on it is by Google, but do they control the direction of the project?

Yeah... It's incredible how blind people are in this day and age. Google is clearly trying to control narratives, not "end the sadness".
