Is Hacker News siloed properly? Plain sight seems required. Cc: heat

Not seeing such a slippery slope. And again, isn't this specific to Utah only? May I ask if you live in Utah?

And yet, the intention is to deter usage of a product/vice that is a bane on America. Cut the supply is effective at reducing consumption. Is this really 1A when we are talking abo…

This seems more about blocking. Internet activity is already tracked.

Why would this affect other states? Isn't this legislation specific to Utah?

Sounds fine; it's their culture and prerogative. Probably a benefit to deter such consumption for as many youth and young adults as possible, given the negative impact on mental he…

I can only speculate, but it was during the course of a reference check for someone connected to this circle. So, likely this was done to look into me, demonstrate power over me, a…

I was once hacked, stalked and targeted by friends of a celebrity who I had just met. I tried pursuing help about it and was threatened with murder. Then, after promising to report…

With Larry Fink and hedgies involved, Bitcoin only needs, at most, a couple hundred billion to prop up prices well beyond $20k-$25k. Small market, which Fink noted. $100k would not…

What happens when you combine extensive knowledge of a user's most intimate secrets and most painful memories with the ability to algorithmically choose targeted content at will, w…
