As a Canadian - south of the border terrifies me for what's coming next. Republicans have devolved into a NK style 'dear leader' group that is terrified of crossing Trump. 1930's G…

... have you ever been to Europe? A failed state - keep drinking that Fox News koolaid.

They could at the very least not import 1M a people a year (many of whom come here to study at diploma mills that result in no real career skills and considerable debt) at a 38M po…

No chance this crushes the 'bubble'. Record immigration, developers have greatly reduced housing starts, and people will do anything to keep their mortgage as asset prices continue…

This does not even remotely jive with his comments over Twitter DM's with the Vox journalist[1]. This feels like a transparent attempt to mitigate his inevitable fraud trial and cl…

As with many western countries, there's a rising sentiment against immigration due to the lack of infrastructure provided to the existing citizenry. Housing in Canada is some of th…

Except that contraception prevents conception from ever occurring? Your analogy is fundamentally flawed, and there's no point in arguing in good faith with people who equate contra…

Well said. Too much of the debate on here is around logical fallacies rather than the direct impact this will have on women - particularly those who are poor and unable to travel f…

King is literally a founding convoy organizer who calls the shots and has a massive following and influence on the convoy members. His videos get 100's of thousands of views and he…

As a Canadian I humbly request Americans stay out of our politics, particularly when it comes to influencing them via monetary donations. Get your own house in order, don't encoura…

I've run ads on FB before, but this is an incredibly simple article to share with my non-technically minded friends and family as to why these services collect too much data. We ne…

Medical professionals are often taught these days that aspiration is not necessary for IM injections, particularly in commonly used sites such as the delts. From the CDC [1]: Aspir…

NFT's generally don't make sense to me, but targeting a specific real-world market is a rare use case that seemingly makes sense. The patterns already exist in terms of Fantasy Spo…

I've managed to do the same as well - the pushback has been minimal at best. I'm more surprised at how many "X is on Signal!" messages I've received from completely non-technical f…

I could get behind this if the current ones actually followed regulation. FB are so entrenched that they don't have to follow the rules as they've demonstrated with Cambridge Analy…

Agreed. One of the factors that makes HN superior to the likes of reddit is the lack of overt karma farming which reduces the quality of discourse.

As someone who works in the games space, I find this to be an interesting proposition. My primary concern revolves around similar 'net neutrality' aspects - more and more of the in…

When that's your comparison, almost every city in the world is more affordable compared to the Bay Area. Europe, barring London, is typically much more affordable in my experience …

Same here. As someone who lives in British Columbia, I always conflate the two.

I've been following this rather closely as a company who provides backend services (so we're classified as a 3rd party service)to studios in the industry, many of whom use Unity. I…

This doesn't necessarily sound terrible? If most of the jobs are going to be 6-figures, their tax rates will be reasonably high + they'll be contributing to the local economy in te…

Appreciate the in-depth reply. I've also practiced intermittent fasting and it was the best way to crush my snacking/candy habits, which can add up $$ incredibly quickly.

.. and now I need to re-watch the series again. Or at least the opener.

Can you elaborate on this? I'd be very curious to see how you're managing that, unless your cost of groceries prior includes bulk shopping at Whole Foods.

The part I find particularly sad is that the elite referenced in the article are very clearly self-aware that the issue is a Bastille day or some revolution against the 1% (realist…
