Why would you assume that? If Elon buys twitter and starts banning everyone with pronouns in their bio I think that would be bad and stupid but it wouldn't be a free speech issue. People would just go elsewhere. Everything would be fin

When arguing about Critical Race Theory it's useful to keep in mind this quote from the person (Christopher Rufo) who brought the term to mainstream prominence over the past year or so: “We have successfully frozen their brand ‘critica

Can someone explain to me why writing an article condemning people for using a word to describe other people is not also part of the war on free speech? This whole debate has a real snake-eating-its-tail aspect to it that I find completely

I'm a little confused. You're complaining about how "the media handled this coverage" but your specific complaints seems to be about jokes made by Twitter users. Who exactly is "the media" here?

yes, I'll +1 this. The Amazon Bookstore at U Village is (was?) great. Super helpful staff, roomy, good curations/recommendations, and way way cheaper than independent bookstores. I'll miss it

Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see any references to any specific incidences or examples of a person having their accounts frozen for simply donating to the protest. Can anyone provide a reliable source of this happening? Since it&#

It's a few years out from being an issue for me, but I'm planning to rely on Apple's ScreenTime and parental controls to take care of this issue for me. My thinking is that having the enforcement be automatic and passive will

No idea what you're talking about, not interested in debating efficacy of vaccines on here, just pushing back on the idea that calling Joe Rogan anti-vaxx is an "outright lie"

This is a bit of kitchen sink argument-- it was a long time ago! young people actually don't need the vaccine! he's just sharing his perspective! British people couldn't get vaccinated in April! None of which addresses the cl

I think NYT cloning wordle would have had a huge backlash. Lots of bad PR, a wave of protest cancellations, etc. If they wanted Wordle in the app this was the best way to do it.

The Button was pretty cool. I really love the UX on Wordle. Can't really explain why but it's just so pleasant to use.

Slavery was legally abolished in the US only after secession and in the midst of a total war between the Confederacy and the US. Since it was total war, the US had no enforcement capability in the South short of military conquest. At that p

I've been reading people on HN talk about how Google is burning their goodwill and there will be Very Serious Consequences for a literal decade. Over that time Google stock price has gone up 10x.
