Let's hope he fucks off to Africa and stays there.

> I'm not an attorney myself, but my best guess is that letting litigation fears stop you is often a mistake, and I've given this advice to friends several times before. In other w…

That's dang's problem, isn't it?

That works fine for me, but try getting the average American to read a book.

We used to have an entertainment industry. Now we just have Disney, Time-Warner, Comcast NBC/Universal, Sony, etc. There's nothing wrong with this that can't be fixed by coming dow…

I'd say both. He took prevailing conservative groupthink of the Lee Atwater school and weaponized it to become one of the OG alt-reich trolls[1], to quote somebody who apparently p…

IMO, anybody who takes Charles Murray seriously needs to be hit upside the head with a hardcover of Stephen J. Gould's The Mismeasure of Man , which exposed race-and-IQ studies for…

Free clue: they probably already know that, and don't give a damn. Learn to distinguish between ignorance and indifference.

IMO, DMDs are the real professionals. They're passionate about getting paid, and they don't buy into HN's bullshit.

News is entertainment and always has been. Since many people find sport entertaining, it makes sense to include sport in the daily news.

I'm not an Angular developer. I'm a generalist who uses Angular when necessary. Likewise for every other framework or language you can think of. I don't really give a damn what lan…

So if for some reason I wanted to find info on The Cure's 1982 album Pornography , the cops would get notified? What if I wanted to see if Anthrax had a new album coming out? Why d…

Android is for poor people. Clubhouse doesn't want poor people. They might tell Silicon Valley VCs to go pound Martian sand.

I don't think there's any need to worry about whether Covid-19 involves premeditation; it's easy to suggest that many countries' leaders exhibited a depraved indifference to human …

IMO, cookie consent should not be a website's reponsibility. It should be built into the user agent, which should block all cookies/analytics by default and prompt for consent when…

My day job keeps pressuring me to use video, and I keep fighting the temptation to replace my photo with a "SEELE 01 SOUND ONLY" graphic from Neon Genesis Evangelion . My coworkers…

> I don't see how Clubhouse can survive as is with the invite only system when their competitors can easily copy them to bankruptcy. Maybe if Clubhouse went all-in on being a virtu…
