The only information I could find claims that about 22% of reddit is NSFW. They calculated the percentage of NSFW subreddits with >100k subscribers. [1] That's far from a perfect way to measure this, but it's around the statist

What's going on with .icu domains? Any idea on why they've been so prone to spam?

I don't think I'll give up the macbook trackpad for anything. It's probably more important to my quality of life than the blue imessage bubbles.

Yeah, would be interesting to see more examples of how spoofed devices are used nefariously. I'd bet people try to get around quotas or rate limits by spoofing different devices. Maybe ad fraud as well?

It doesn't really surprise me that bing does this - I'm more disappointed that HN censored the original post ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27394925 ). Feel like that's totally against our values.

Not sure we want to set a precedent for tech companies getting to silence whoever they choose, but tech companies should have the power to effectively censor SOME things (child porn, for instance).

Thank you, I appreciate your perspective. Sounds like you've worked on this problem yourself by working at it from a different direction, namely starting from what you want to do/why you want it and moving back towards the thing t

I don't use bitcoin because every method of converting fiat to btc (or vice versa) takes an absurdly high fee. It's even worse when buying stablecoins.

Fantastic idea! If a restaurant offers delivery themselves, it's a no brainer to order directly from them. Usually it's cheaper and faster than ordering through an app. Hope this gains traction.

Very true - I think it's important to be careful we don't generalize our own experience to others. If people ARE paying 25%, (i.e. 60% of US consumers order at least once a week [1]) then the service is valuable enough to them (fo
