unfortunately that's useless if you can't do anything about it... just think about the recent unfruitful millions-strong street protests in france, how powerless we are even in sel…

OP was saying that even the sentence "bob says that jim is x" is defamation because readers will take it as "a ringing endorsement of bob's statement", which is patently untrue unl…

the problem is, if this starts to become common, countries will move to make it illegal not to store data...

how so? it's your responsibility as an adult to understand that Bob is some random guy you don't know, so you can't trust him

Also, I can understand the downvotes, but why the flagging? You can call them thieves, but not parasites? I feel that HN has become quite censorship-heavy lately. To elaborate on t…

this is obviously bull though.. how do you even make a study like that? you'd need to associate each illegal downloader to his/her real identity and then to each of their legal pur…

this is the kind of thing that makes me happy I'll be already dead (not that it's much better now if you need to eat...)

this. same problem with noise pollution, but worse as you can't close your ears

Reading the news, my gut feeling is that US and China are preparing the ground for war between each other, though it makes no sense from an economical point of view, so perhaps I'm…

yeah, a future that chokes on pollution, constantly on the brink of annihilation by ever more powerful weapons, with freedom ever more vanishing under growing mass control systems.…

check out hare-lang.org (still wip, but quite good already)

perhaps we should rather focus on meaningful actions, rather than empty showbusiness...

It's 2023 and people still believe that swearing on whatever book means anything... humans are so damn depressing.

even with already published laws you need a lawyer to understand how a judge will be more likely to interpret them; even then, it's just an informed guess, you never know what the …

that's not true because their architecture follows closely the spec, so it couldn't be any better

even back in the day there were raw egg or hot chili challenges... being idiots for acceptance is truly embedded in the human mind. But social media and general societal collapse b…

Few months ago there was some sort of challenge on tiktok, most kids at my local middle school arrived to school with self-inflicted bruises on the face. With this shit, if you don…

But understanding the issue intellectually does not necessarily mean making peace with it. Especially when it comes to the key question, why should I bother struggling today so tha…

more importantly, people can make perfectly intelligible speech using a completely different set of symbols, for example writing, whistling^1, hand gestures (sign language), pictur…

I'm already in europe and hate it fiercely... that's a big reason why I lost all hope, it's supposed to be the healthier area already..

I get what you mean, but I'm the type that would rather read middle grade fluff than stick my finger in the wound...

thanks, TIL
