The issue with that is that it's a very slippery slope. Same laws could be used against people recording police interactions in public, for example, or other interactions where a p…

I'm sure you can guess why Breitbart is blocked so much...

People in Audio Science Review forums do scientific studies of headphones: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?forums/he...

Reminds me of: https://www.tylervigen.com/spurious-correlations (There seems to be a lot of death-related stats in there, so beware if that's triggering)

As the article points out, having a choice, and not being pressured by society into having kids one doesn't want, certainly is a good thing. On the other hand, as the article notes…

Amazing work! Also, thank you for making that feed on the main page, been laughing for a while here :D

(Not the author) Maybe they leveraged https://knowyourmeme.com/ ? But that can't possibly have all the random memes, could it?

That sounds like a pretty big abuse of their power and potentially raises anti-trust concerns. They could easily wield that power for nefarious reasons and I don't think any of us …

Honestly, I think Jonny Ive makes good industrial design (minus the far too extreme "minimalism" push with the butterfly keyboard MacBooks; they really need an "editor" like Steve …

I don't think the example you gave holds. This is how I would characterize that: Blocking someone = not buying Wired magazine so you can't read it yourself Banning someone from the…

This is often the unspoken part but I agree that it's one of, if not the most important aspect for our energy needs. I understand economics can't just be thrown out of the window b…

I see a lot of parallels with Sri Lanka and Turkey. Dwindling foreign exchange reserves, crashing value of the Turkish Lira, trade deficit, arbitrary decision making, etc. Makes me…

If you like Brazil, I would also recommend The Zero Theorem. It's sort of a spiritual successor to Brazil AFAIK. It's maybe not as memorable and iconic as Brazil, though, but worth…

Came here to say this. The book is fantastic in itself too and I view the movie more as a "visualization of the parts that Kubrick found the most interesting". I see those two as s…

Turkey actually has a very good online portal [1] for a lot of interactions for the government. Anything from obtaining official letters to checking statuses of court causes, etc. …

Fun fact, there's vodka made from San Francisco fog: https://time.com/4317269/fog-vodka-san-francisco-hangar-one/

Like many people here, I share the negative sentiment towards yellow taxis. It's simply a sordid experience. Arguing with the drivers to not get figuratively (and actually on one o…

Also Mari0 (Super Mario + Portal) exists: https://stabyourself.net/mari0/

It really doesn't seem slim to me. This article [0] (which was previously discussed on HN [1]) found that "just 0.1 percent of miners (about 50 operations) are responsible for half…

> If it doesn't work why ban it? Precisely because, as you said, "it doesn't work." There's not a good amount of evidence that IQ tests (which vary wildly, BTW) are a valid measure…
