Yours are anecdotal evidence of an extremely low risk. There are some bike accidents, which are already rare; Very few involve the head; and even fewer would be saved by a helmet. Whereas, requiring a helmet is a sufficient disincentive to

> Any suggestions? Seriously, SublimeText, which is $70 closed-source. Less seriously, macOS and iLife. I'd be ok to pay €200/year/user for an OS of that quality, as long as it's open-source.

Safari itself is an ad-blocker, with its "reader mode". I could hardly imagine opening a newspaper page without it. Actually, my iPad 2 isn't powerful enough anymore to open a newspaper page, except if I use the reader mode.

Same here. Most people tend to downplay risks "because they're big", but there are alternatives and it's worth missing a few opportunities for a lower risk. E.g., I don't go to USA conferences because of the TSA ris

We won't solve global warming by finding the hypocrites. We'll solve it by knowing the problems and resolving them (or, if we don't want to work 1 problem after 1 problem, imposing taxes on petroleum usage or gas emissions, b

Thank you. I really needed that, for self-hosting. Gitlab's UX is difficult, Bitbucket Server is expensive. It seems you're targeting many features that are way beyond an MVP. Won't you suffer from exhaustion at some point? F

I really wonder what's happening inside the company, because Apple's lawyers make the company so secretive that we don't know much about it. Do employees read HN? Do they collect reports about what the consumers are asking fo

Those generalities are true. We just often don't have the statistics to prove them. It's either because the research isn't funded, either because it is undercommunicated (journalists extract the one sentence that is profitabl

Twitter is also a public discussion platform. It's a cog for democracy. But after the 140 limit, Twitter's other annoyance is how public your comments are. You can't remove them and you're extremely liable for them. Maki

Well there has also been a long story of abusing trust on the good people's side. For example on feminism (where I've unwillingly studied the topic), the feminist version of the story is broadcasted loudly and men who don't a
