    This is just selection bias (the type of teens in high school that post on HN). I know for a veritable fact that teens in high school in the US use iMessage.

    > I'm not sure what nit you are picking RAW photos are not “just” uncompressed versions of the JPEGs your camera usually gives you. That would be a TIFF. Rather, they contain raw sensor data.

    Who’s to say that the work we do is a good simulation? Most jobs are not fulfilling, and our country is in the midst of a mental health crisis

    The difference is that judges, justices, and lawmakers are a part of the elite class, and will never be threatened by such abuses.

    At this point it is clear you are merely regurgitating CCP propaganda. All of your claims map 1:1 to those made solely by the Chinese government, and have been refuted in outside reporting. “Documents from 2019 reveal plans for a campaign o

    Charles Lieber is not Chinese. So what is your point? On a more general note: Your style of argument is really tired. Who is going to commit wrongdoing on the part of the Chinese government if not mostly Chinese people ? You can always try

    This seems a bit disingenuous. It's an advertising ban, not a ban on any and all forms of signage. In the pictures of Sao Paulo you can clearly see that businesses still have small signs out front, presumably with the name of the busin

    Fair! However, keep in mind that you're nearly 2 standard deviations above the average household size in the US [1], and probably above 2σ in physical activity as well... ;) [1]: https://www.statista.com/statistics&#x2F
