And after 10 years or so of trying, you'd expect the results to be far better, and more people to use it. I think the search engine space is very ripe for a startup, but duckduckgo…

Adverts on hackernews now eh?

Otherwise we'll be called sexist?

I agree. I don't know why some people act as if it's astounding and something you would never think of - that swallowing magnets can be pretty dangerous.

Difference is though that there's millions of free apps floating around. There aren't millions of free wedges of cheese. To a lot of people, paying for software is still a pretty w…

The more dangerous case is those watch batteries are included in some greetings cards which play music or a recorded message etc. Very young kids can easily chew on a greetings car…

That's an idiotic conclusion. How about teenagers who play with fireworks and die? Do we need to ban fireworks? Or do we just need parents to educate their children that fireworks …

Those statistics are meaningless without comparison. How many children are hospitalized/die from swallowing coins or lego? Do we need warning labels on coins? How many kids are hos…

I would say that when you buy an inflatable pool ring, if more of the area of the pool ring is taken up by warning messages, than isn't, then we've gone too far. So yes, I think we…

Sure. And they were let down massively by their parents.

If your child (Lets assume over the age of 2 or 3), is still eating random non-food items, you have some real parenting problems.

I bought some years ago, and had fun playing with them with my children. If you need a warning saying that eating a magnet is dangerous, you're not very clever. And if your child (…

Kinder surprises still banned though?

You mean he massively abused his position. People have been prosecuted and JAILED for reddit comments don't forget.

Just a rookie question, but why the hell don't they just install some forum stuff on a web server?

I feel like some people don't understand the gravity of what he did. He edited someone elses comments. What is the point in being part of a community where the website owners may b…

Which highlights how idiotic it all is. If a statement is absolutely fine if the person saying it is black, but absolutely offensive and racist if the person saying it is white, th…

I'm not offended - I've never been offended. I'm just calling it out as bullshit.

eg racism can only be performed by white people.

"and I only included subjects who appeared to be a white man" Ah yes of course - racism can only be carried out by white men after all. What a pile of rubbish. If you take offense …

This is why computers become slower and slower, and people have to upgrade. Because lazy developers make idiotic choices. It's a static list of items. Hardly very efficient to load…

When will people learn that polls and "projections" from mainstream media etc are ridiculously wrong on this. They were wrong on Brexit. They were wrong on Trump. Maybe once more c…

Prisoners are big business in the US. It's slavery. They manufacture car license plates, washing machines, etc etc etc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUyZkwSDar0

No. Those two have real world advantages that allow you to do things you previously could not. This is just pointless syntax.

Looks like awful readability to me. No idea what they're trying to solve here.
