What does that question mean?

Thanks for your comment. Some/Many HN commentators love what one could call the collective helplessness associated with authoritarian scientism and materialism - the idea that we a…

Iphone SE users aren't a small pool of users. The decision by Apple is either based solely on making more money short-term/mid-term while ignoring a part of their customer base, or…

Until Mozilla is free from Google et al., all "problems" related to blocking ads are merely theoretical.

Thanks for the explanation. I don't blame or rate Mozilla, I was just trying to explain why they are unable to move, due to their ties to Google. I don't think it's a good or bad t…

Who is this "we" you are talking about? It's not like the web/society consists of one collectivist "blob" that speaks in unison.

What would Google do if Mozilla blocks all ads browser wide by default? (Which they can't do adhoc because it is probably explitically forbidden in their contract with Google) The …

Everything is a product when you define product as "that which is produced", which is the coherent and 'materialized' output of human activity.

I will probably start using or at least trying it again when they publish version 1. For now, it's just not remotely comparable to Firefox et al. when it comes to customization, co…

The fundamental question is who decides. Ideally the browser is the product, but not the user. For that, the browser needs to solve the question of the flow of money. Using Firefox…

Interesting. I'm not really into physics, so it's helpful to learn about the mainstream position. I know I use sloppy wording. I still agree with Tesla that empty space can't have …

It was "disproven" based upon a different philosophy. You can't disprove a philosophy though, you can only try to understand different philosophical models next to each other. The …

No, it is fundamentally wrong in itself, because it went into the wrong direction 100 or so years ago, when physicists ignored the aether model.

100 or so years ago physics went into the wrong direction, ignoring people like Tesla who argued for the aether model.

Indeed. Physics is wrong on many fundamental levels, but everytime physicists find fundamental errors, they propose another entirely theoretical layer of complexity, with the "benf…

The media is no longer reporting things. You can't make money with reporting. The media is actively creating narratives, and one of the narratives that people are fed nowadays is t…

I would have never thought to see it play out in real life when I read it. It is absolutely frightening. George Orwell - A Final Warning ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXm5hklbB…

People who excel in the relevant abilities should be in charge of corporations and institutions. Reducing people to gender is sexist, and reducing them to ethnics is racist. It's n…

Thanks. The fact that my comment got deleted will make me stop contributing in such a controversial way, as I respect the house rules. But it leaves a bad aftertaste, even though t…

Note that I quoted someone else. This is not my thoughts. I am not interested in what should or shouldn't be, first and foremost. I am interested, sociologically, in understanding.…

The culture war in action. I don't know why, but Mozilla is one of the few corporations that has fully embraced the toxic ideology of "diversity" and "feminism". So much, that it w…

Brave has multiple layers to actually help content-creators. It is beyond me how anyone can frame it in the opposite direction. Layer 1: Blocking everything that is not helpful for…
