Hey HN, I've just launched a new game that I think this community might find interesting. It's a decentralized take on the classic Rock Paper Scissors game, but with a twist – it u…

I hadn't heard of the "Birthday Paradox" before you mentioned it your comment, but your description of it isn't quite right. It's not that half the people in a group of 23 will sha…

Not sure why you're being downvoted for pointing this out. She was responsible for "their" home. Not the tens of thousands of households across the empire. There was also a sentenc…

I don't think Facebook's "... young, liberal staff" is going anywhere. They have experienced the power that comes with successfully shifting a global organization's culture, missio…

Do you mean traditional over-the-air television? Because I'm absolutely certain companies like Netflix, HBO and Disney tailor content to influence your behavior. Haven't you ever c…

It almost seems as if you believe you can't be lied to by the people you agree with. In this case, we'll call them "vaxxers" since you seem to believe only "anti-vaxers" are capabl…

When covid becomes endemic, (and it will) will you still feel that way?

Glad to see you're not getting downvoted for this. This line of thought and information will be dismissed as a conspiracy theory and will follow the same arc as the lab leak hypoth…

Not sure why this comment is being downvoted. This is one of the unintended consequences of viewing every unequal outcome between ethnic groups as proof of racism.

Conversations about politics in the workplace only seems to be acceptable if you share nearly identical political views with those around you in the office. There is no true desire…

Since when has sustained rioting been acceptable as long as it's "confined to specific blocks"? It quickly became clear to any rational person that rioting in Portland would occur …

Then why do you believe right leaning fakes news stories are shared any more often than left leaning fake news stories on Facebook?

Would you be willing to provide me 3 links to right leaning fake news stories published today? The original links please. I no longer have a Facebook account.

The book you might be referring to is "The True Believer" by Eric Hoffer. Published in 1951. It's about 175 pages. If you've ever wondered why political correctness, BLM and anti-r…
