Over the past couple of weeks there have been two heavy virtue signalers in my social circle that have turned out to be complete assholes to people around them, and I had that thought exactly. Maybe the very reason they feel the need to get

Something like $2-3 a month would be worth the premium features to me personally.

Very cool! I enjoyed watching my mountain hikes like this in the 30-day free Premium preview on Strava, but no way in hell am I paying $12 a month for a novelty feature.

I wonder how many Spanish speakers got banned for discussing Vantablack at the time.

It's quite remarkable how quickly the tides are turning. Even 12 months ago I would have never expected to hear things like these from Zuckerberg's mouth: > Zuckerberg said Meta was focused on "restoring free expression&qu

They don‘t have to be pro anything. Al Julani’s family themselves had to flee the Golan heights due to Israel’s occupation, so I doubt they‘ll become best friends. All I‘m saying is it weakens Iran and that‘s a good thing. Few in the area a

So far it's been one step forward, one step back, due to Iran, see the now frozen rapprochement between Saudi and Israel. But thankfully all signs point to Iran's influence waning, which is now accelerating in part thanks to Israe

Anything that weakens Iran and its proxies is good news. They‘ve been the main reason for instability in the region. The cutting of supply routes to Hezbollah is another nail in the coffin for a militia that‘s kept Lebanon from eventually b

Maybe this will get people to stop taking seriously what they see and read on social media and go engage more with the real world and real people.

To kill Iraqi soldiers, not murder civilians. The proper analogy to this would be if in COD you played a Blackwater operator during the Nisour Square massacre.

I'm about 200 pages into 1Q84, and am not really enjoying it. Is it just not for me, or does it just take a while to get into?

There's understanding and recognizing past errors, and then there's developing an actual negative view on the whole of something. Germany is a good example of that as well. Pride and patriotism became such dirty words that nobody

A Conflict of Visions is a good one. Thomas Sowell is a true intellectual. Sure, he has strong biases, but I believe those developed out of his intense study of the facts, rather than being implanted in him before he started thinking for

The coalition falling apart isn't really the problem. The problem is that with the strength of AfD and BSW, and the other parties' unwillingness to work with them, it will likely be impossible to form any coalition with a majority

So Oxfam is just a socialist think-tank now? These numbers make for a great headline, but they really don't mean anything. You could take every penny from every billionaire in the world today and it wouldn't really make a differen

I much prefer people amuse themselves to death than they think and theorize themselves- (or others, in the case of many late 19th and early 20th century intellectuals) to death.

SBF is going to get the shaft, just like many other prominent white collar criminals, like Bernie Madoff, have. The reason Ellison is getting off lightly is because she made a deal with prosecutors and gave them all they needed to build a s

These are public, tax-funded schools we're talking about here. Parents who really want their 10 year old to learn about BDSM practices or breast removal surgeries can still get them those books on their own dime.

The app probably makes you enter personal information like age and location, which is already very valuable. But honestly I'd say that it's probably more about them being able to market their own products to you by displaying ads

The article has nothing to do with that. It's looking at the development over the past 19 years. This "car centric cities" criticism is beginning to get really old here on HN.

I don't believe there's any intrinsic value in diversity. I believe that there's truth in the argument that heterogeneity leads to lower group cohesion and solidarity. Personally I think that in business neither is it somethi
