I think that it's more about politics and investors/advertisers not really clicking. The rest I just don't see, we already opened the flood gates to stuff like discussing "another …

You're downvoted because you're exactly right. People on here generally can't handle inconvenient truths that include themselves. Never trust a person who can't rend their garments…

Yeah, but when you stand up to snoops and crooks, you don't have to contort yourself in ways that are a.) undignified and b.) futile anyways, and c.) waste your own resources of wh…

> Is it so difficult for you guys to just have a facebook account that you don't check in on? Yes. Is that so difficult for you to accept? Tough shit.

Allow people to tag their posts, and have friends who tag their posts. Then have an option to not see posts of type X (link, photo, text, video, audio) tagged with Y by contact Z. …

Yes, I absolutely agree that plenty of commonly practiced or even accepted things are malicious, too, at least with the way they're hand waved away ("to improve our service" and wo…

Also see "to have or to be".

This is not so much a matter of debate as of reading up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malware > Some malware is used to generate money by click fraud, making it appear that the co…

> Overall i find your reply very negative and zero value. You didn't pass yandex test, right? :) That cuts both ways - you don't see a problem with the needy practices of pretty mu…

In kindergarten I asked a friend why "Hitler didn't like Jews". He said his grandmother was Jewish and he didn't like her, which made sense to us. When I was 9, my Jewish best frie…

> There are many great authors of the past who have survived centuries of oblivion and neglect, but it is still an open question whether they will be able to survive an entertainin…

I want to build and refine and improve and make useful and a lot of things, but not add credibility to such practices. And I want people to know what an URL is and how copy and pas…

What's "fully dependent"? If A going away makes B go away, I'd say that's pretty dependent. Shifting goal posts from that to "major difference" is silly, you could argue for anythi…

> In the same way that I'm okay with abortion, I'm okay with this - your dependence on someone or something else is a defining factor of your rights as an individual. Is there a ma…

True. I kind of settled at seeing it rather like art. What happened and all traces of it might be gone ultimately, but it still happened. It's purely subjective why anyone would pr…

I wasn't at that school anymore when that happened, but a classmate killed himself when he was 18. He stabbed himself in the heart, and he fucking succeeded. He was a very kind and…

Awesome, thanks!

> would require so many people to agree You don't always have to remove something, you just need to introduce doubt. It only took x% industry shills to make any evidence for climat…

What's the copyright? Would it be legal to unzip those and serve them directly, so archive.org or anyone else can make them more inviting for access? I know you shouldn't look a gi…

Not that I don't get what you're saying, not that I never want revenge, but still, since I also tell this myself: can you imagine someone hurting a child who has not been damaged i…

But that doesn't "prevent spambots etc.", that merely prevents people from easily and instantly figuring out whether their bots are detected yet. It doesn't stop them from spamming…

How about, here and on reddit, being able to mark threads you're interested in, and having a page where you can see those sorted by last reply. On HN, make that page refresh every …

I can't believe that apparently some people see "Tumblr" but not the "researcher employed by NATO". It's just text and images and video, the "place" where it's at matters only for …

My takeaway from reading into these things was that at certain temperature breakpoints, lifetime decreases a LOT, way too much to want to get close to that. So I tried to find the …
