On an iPhone it took me a hell of a long time to swipe over to the US, we are talking minutes with all the miss swipes which accidentally forwarded me to other pages etc. for such a UI/UX focused company that seems fishy

I would agree. The explanation I have for it in the US is tribalism. Thats it. I'm an immigrant to the US and feel like I have an outsiders perspective. I find that American's suffer a from a severe case of Proportionality Bias h

Is this article set in the late 90's. Times have changed, get a new job.

What a well written article. Really enjoyed that. If the hacking doesn't work out get a job writing about hacking...wait.

Nope. Apple itself says the watch will last 18 hours so if you've got one that lasts for 2 days, thats great. https://www.apple.com/watch/battery/#:~:text=Apple%20Watch%2... .

They've got to fix the battery life. I tried the apple watch earlier this year and returned it a couple of days later. After using a whoop (where I get 5 days of battery) the less than one day charge makes the product pointless.

This is a good article, I would add to the key takeaway is that methane production from animal husbandry is mostly a closed system, the greenhouse gases being produced by cows are being absorbed from the atmosphere. atmosphere -> photosy

No one is saying we need to replace Snopes or emulate what they are doing. But if a platform like WhatsApp, Facebook or Twitter fact checked the most spread thousands videos per day, this problem would evaporate. You could do that with a te

I'm very confused, why did this get downvoted ? If anything downvote the entire thread...

Yea, I feel bad about this tangent. I actually enjoyed the article, I just got annoyed about what I felt was a mischaracterization of the entire piece, leading to that mischaracterization dominating the discussion, I'm going to upvote

I'm not sure there is evidence for or against. The argument I would make is not about censorship but preventing people from spreading lies. Even in the US where people hold free speech as some amazingly virtuous thing there are still c

So first off, I think "WhatsApp" is being used in two ways here. 1) is WhatsApp the company or the central server and the other 2) is the app on someone's phone. When people say end to end they mean from the WhatsApp app on s

I don't think he is saying that encrypted communication should be illegal. He's saying that spreading lies through encrypted channels should be stopped. It would not be hard for WhatsApp to prevent people from spreading bogus vide

Maybe I’m just showing my age but this is a rehash of a very old idea. I’m pretty sure it’s in the 4 hour work week, which while largely a fantasy still had some decent ideas.

this is the solution :) ... I miss rails where everyone knew where everything was supposed to go, a little like how much I love prettier now - no more stupid bike shedding conversations about coding style.

I like the European farm subsidies, I think they are a great example of how to share wealth among a lot of citizens and maintain high quality food. Btw, 59 Billion seems like a large number but compared to the actual GDP of the EU thats a v

100% agree. Just have fun and be happy. You'll have your entire life to work after you finish college. Meet people, make friends, do stupid shit and party. Your college friends will be the last big influx of friends in your life so mak

Is there actual evidence for this? That governments aren't as effective at producing things. This gets bandied about a lot but I'm not sure it's true. I think governments can be highly effective at producing things.

Class actions are broken and rarely actually directly benefit the consumers. At best you can say it is a large club that can be wielded on behalf of consumers to force large corporations to behave responsibly. At worst it's a total rac
