And in fact the solution is more money and training to the police. Police don't get trained, especially in high pressure situations, which creates even more mistakes. People upset with the police should be asking for funding the police

In my city (non US), the police block a bridge over the river, stop everyone, and check the levels of alcohol in their breath. I don't make a fuss about it, because it probably keeps me safer as a lot of idiots won't drink and dri

Sometimes I have this scary thought that paid search results are actually inherently better than organic ones, because when you spend money you do need to be relevant to the query and serve up a decent result. When it comes to organic, ever

Macron wanted to use this vaccine as a matter of national pride. He talked down Astrazeneca because of it: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jan/26/french-self-es... Things have changed a lot since

Turkish immigrants were welcomed into the country, selectively, with a planned system and for job vacancies. Today’s immigrants are illegally crossing borders and refusing to register at the first non-hostile country. They are not using off

Why not mention the very negative mentions of AZ by macron and merkel? Macron even wanted to stop all foreign vaccines and rely on some French one. I have no love for Putin or Johnson but this most certainly wasn’t down to just their politi

God, this comment has given me relief after 3 days of waiting someone to say this. HN delivers. I can't believe the hypocrisy of FIFA and UEFA and how everyone is making some moral case for being against the super league, when we know

So is the NY Post the only tabloid in the world? What about the Sun in the UK? Daily mirror? I think based on your requirements all those should be fact checked 100% of the time and blocked when incorrect information is posted right? Or sho

A story about hunter biden is not the same as the material itself, which might have been illegal. Just like obtaining and publishing Trump's tax returns were illegal, but talking about it isn't, and they most certainly weren'

It seems to me on this topic almost everyone (including myself) is in a completely hypocritical position. We want facebook to take action in countries where we disagree, but not take action in areas/countries where we agree. Here is a

In my very personal opinion, based on the New York Times this isn't necessarily a good thing. Yes they cater to their subscribers but that's made them batshit crazy in their coverage. (and Fox is just as bad, but its not an online

I wonder if writers of articles like this are aware of the complexity of a problem like this, algorithmically, legally and ethically. All 3 are insanely difficult.

An interesting perspective I've heard is that she should have been more political in a few extreme cases. She is the head of state and her actual job should be to bring left and right together in the very controversial, almost unsolvab

The religion analogy is great, because that's what this is. Wealth, privilege is now original sin for a lot of people. There is no real way to get out of it. See here. Even giving it away means you stay guilty. Never mind the guy didn&
