Here in Europe oxfam for example uses some of these private companies and they get the first year of donations and from the 2nd year it goes to oxfam itself.

Apparently the average person cancels donations after 2,5 years so for a zero marketing budget (for oxfam) they make 1.5 year x your donation.

When I first found out I was disgusted and some majors in countries in Europe have tried to ban such "paid charity workers"... (They tend to operate near train stations etc.

Not that long ago. Just a reminder.

If the USA and Israel had really wanted to stop evil regimes they could have gone to Sudan maybe?

New Mexico prosecutors convinced a jury the company enabled child exploitation on its platforms.

Sustainable meaning: if everyone does this we need 5 planets...

The good news is that with technology there will be fewer and fewer of those...

But if you really wanna minimize / lead by example you could live in a small appartment in a big city... It's the most sustainable way to live. Besides that help improve / maintain the common infrastructure... Libraries Swimming pools Toolsheds / Makerspaces Schools Etc etc

A tiny garden at your home < a big park and shared city vegetable plots Electric bicycle for 80℅ of your commutes and share / rental car when needed. Getting rid of stuff you no longer need (helps with living in a small place as well)

Countless little big things.

Also: - buying second hand phones - investing in solar projects -...

There is a reason

Why would he have to listen to experts to become president ?

I personally think he's an expert salesman... But take away the wealth and time he was born in and he's neither president nor nearly as rich (he'd be comfortably off <> salesman.

The truth is not always, but definitely very often, in the middle. I think most people don't like that answer.

Not using voip much recently but will give it a try next time... What with whatsapp, google meet etc i wish you a lot of luck

Intention of the law > letter of the law.

From the marketing side...

I'd make a selection on the website on first visit - I'm a chef / creator - I like to cook

Your cta (call to action) is... Not very effective

Instagram only has 7 followers and no posts. ...

I like the dedication but I'd definitely recommend to improve your marketing / promotion skills (if you build it they will come is a myth unfortunately...), if you wanna have a call about it feel free to hit me up, tijlatduckdotcom. I'm also in Europe so easy for timing.

Not sure where you / other siblings are based but find a place w good and cheap flight connections.

Changing sucks. Being forced to change even worse so maybe talk about options

(Or even a cheaper place in the usa)

Good luck

I see him as "the dude" that did the best interview on the whole ongoing israeli slaughter with piers morgan (part 1 and 2) using actual facts...

Also funny comment in the nano banana thread that this used to be a job before the alarm clock... Serendipity

Anyway find a reason to live, unless you're objectively suffering there's quite a few

Than other random "judges" would be asked if the reason given by the "accuser" are correct. There would have to be some "cost" in karma to flag a post (or limit of X flags / day for X karma status or smth) and some reward in karma for being chosen as a judge/jury.

Also the need to have a minimum flagging weight and a minimum of judging weight and to reconcile conflicting votes.

Anyway would love to talk about it more but tbh it's probably not gonna happen also because most people don't like jury duty... Maybe when ai gets over the "hallucinations" but well at that point we can also get our individual ai's to read everything and judge for us

I would appreciate if @dang or @tom?? Make a blacklist of all these accounts and/or start making webs of trust etc.

Anyway probably time to start surfing the hn news page of the "classic posters" good thing algolia works again.

To any devs out there that wanna build / are building a news site software with web of trust / vouching to create proof of humanity etc I think the market is gonna be huge soon and would be interested in promoting it.

Eternal September for the whole web seems to be coming...

Polytopia for example would not be considered "freehold" because it contains one of micro transactions... However those are in a way ~ expansions like when you bought StarCraft II expansions.

The freehold apps website I'd never contribute to as one should always separate a vendor from a marketplace... Otherwise you just end up with Amazon basics....

It's about the rich and powerful local using foreign students to create fake companies that supposedly rip off the British government...

The rot you speak of is the rich not paying their fair share and hence a society slowly dying... Then the rich hire their own private security guards to protect themselves and let the dying society fall into Robbers and robbed...

Fight the cause not the effect...

I pointed to Starbucks for the 80% angle...

I currently live in Vietnam and I'd say it's probably 50% or less takeaway depending on the day and the venue (most takeaway is done from little stands that don't even have place to sit...)

I do have to say your "the old world ways that developed it." Is wrong on all counts...

1) I'm European and have consumed coffee in Europe... As well as America, Vietnam, countless other places.... over extended periods of time... Context being everything aka american forum etc.... Unless a location is explicitly specified it would make sense to put it in an american context.

2) coffee drinking came from the middle east to Europe so unless you're using "the old world ways" to mean the middle east... (which would be an uncommon language / culture thing on your part.)

Again I understand your context but in this final post you really seemed to get nitpicky and rather look for where "he's wrong" rather than a quest for truth.

Anyway to speak/write or to communicate/seek that's the question. Have a nice day
