    I agree that is an issue, and should be discussed. I didn’t mean to imply Twitter’s decision was plainly correct.

    That’s worthy of discussion. I’m not siding with or against Twitter here. Just saying the issue isn’t as one-sided as many might like to believe it is.

    Yet they didn’t suspend him for the specific example provided. Also, I don’t think it’s so clear that threatening a defensive act could be called “inciting violence”. If a group of…

    >Speculation and accusations are distinctly unhelpful. Unless you are the one making them, apparently. I’m not trolling. And I made no “accusations”. I have no objection to Twitter…

    A fair enough opinion, and a worthy discussion. But this particular issue of Trump’s Twitter suspension is clearly about not giving delusional lunatics more fodder for their action…

    Clearly, the comment meant baseless violence. Violence to protect the helpless from violence is acceptable.

    I agree that Trump’s banning from Twitter is concerning, and that he did not incite violence. But that isn’t the underlying issue behind the suspension. The problem is that a small…

    People also tend to give trucks a wider berth, or at least notice you more and respond more readily to your actions. I’ve only ever owned small cars, and in the handful of times I’…

    The only reason they’re finally banning him is because his worth runs out in 12 days. Dumping him now allows Twitter to virtue signal and avoid looking like an enabler of literal v…

    Ask HN: What web database should a newbie learn first?

    It seems the field of databases is constantly changing. As such, what would you recommend someone just getting into website coding and applications should study as their first data…

    Pretty good regulation already in place. Don't like it? Don't buy it.

    The idea was for the shelf scanning robots to send messages when they found a low stock item or a mess, and then a human could just load up a cart with stock from the back room and…

    This virus cannot be eradicated. You'd have to force everyone on the planet to isolate for 2 weeks. Simply impossible.

    It also creates jobs (the sorters, packagers, sellers, etc.). Gotta keep the pleebs occupied.

    Not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes, resistance to boom growth is wise.

    I can understand that concern. But it leaves price changes in the future open (including perhaps making it free at some point) without having to delete and upload an edited video.

    Fair enough, but the argument could be made that even human-level intelligence is just an advanced degree of pattern matching.

    The holes in the ground appear to have been caused by air pressure (expanding methane gas), so perhaps the bubble analogy is apt.

    Perhaps because it's caused by an eruption of methane gas. Perhaps the bubble analogy is apt.
