c0nducktr··on No safe level of alcohol for brain health: observational cohort study [pdf]
Does anyone know of a way to get this shipped to the USA?
c0nducktr··on 100 Largest Landowners in America
> People dump toxic chemicals on their property every day. Pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and fertilizers are all toxic. Hell, we even pay farmers to do this.

It seems obvious that ForHackernews wasn't talking about things like the chemicals you've described.

c0nducktr··on Against Alcohol
Could you point me to the app you're talking about? I couldn't find it in any of the links.
c0nducktr··on BBC: The cost of speaking up against China (Uyghurs)
Anyone care to say what they believe should be done, or is this just another mad about things thread?

Anyone have ideas? What is the solution?

c0nducktr··on Mozilla, Tor Join Calls to Oust Richard Stallman from Free Software Foundation
Are you insinuating that all Muslims support child marriage? Because it certainly seems like you are.

I'm a 'leftist', but also atheist, so I certainly don't support Islam. But I will tolerate people who believe in it. Same as I'll tolerate people who believe in Christianity, which has plenty of weird shit of its own.

Additionally, I'm opposed to the 'cancelling' of Richard Stallman. It's fucking stupid.

Maybe you should try to not paint all 'leftists' with this stupidly broad brush you're using.

c0nducktr··on Microsoft in talks to buy Discord for more than $10B
Would you elaborate a bit? Are they scanning for other devices / other details about your network?
c0nducktr··on Bitcoin may consume as much energy as all data centers globally
"Everyone who has a problem with bitcoin is a nocoiner" is bullshit and you know it.

I have money invested in cryptocurrencies, and still don't like that it's an incredible waste of energy.

c0nducktr··on Robinhood is still severely limiting trading
That restricted list has some odd ones in it. Starbucks and GM are both limited to 1 share per day. I really wonder what's going on behind the scenes.
c0nducktr··on Ask HN: What are your thoughts on Dogecoin?
Oh, yeah I know. It's just tricky to keep that in mind sometimes.
c0nducktr··on Ask HN: What are your thoughts on Dogecoin?
I'm in agreement, but I've gotta admit I've missed out on a lot of money not following the dumb money lately. It's hard not to be frustrated when you see people making bank on this stuff.
c0nducktr··on Discord bans r/WallStreetBets server, subreddit went private for a while
There weren't any scams going on in the Discord.
c0nducktr··on Bitcoin Is a Dirty Business
> Yeah BTC bad, unregulated waste dumping into seasonal rivers good.

Nobody is saying this.

c0nducktr··on Testosterone levels show steady decrease among young US men
Yes, and?
c0nducktr··on German police take down 'world's largest darknet marketplace'
My guess would be it's an issue with cross contamination, not an intentional mixture of the two.
c0nducktr··on The account of realDonaldTrump will be locked for 12 hours
If the President wanted to do any of those things, he can use the @POTUS account.
c0nducktr··on Covid: New lockdown for England as cases surge
I truly am not trying to be insensitive, but didn't these restrictions only just barely begin back in March? It's difficult for me to see the causation.
c0nducktr··on Julian Assange extradition to US blocked by UK court
Why would Trump consider Edward Snowden's opinion on pardoning Assange, and where is this chatter? Trump has never been supportive of Snowden in the past, as far as I have read.
c0nducktr··on Apple’s longtime supplier accused of using forced labor in China
Is this sarcasm/irony?

Hard to tell on the internet.

c0nducktr··on More than 73% of American adults are overweight or obese
My grandfather would say "take all you'd like, but eat all you take" which had a similar "plate clearing" idea, but was also more responsible (likely due to growing up during the great depression).

The issue with the "children in africa" thing is that someone else is setting the portions for you, I think. Everywhere I go, meals are just too big! I feel silly only eating half of a meal, especially if I don't have the ability to save the rest for later.

Portion sizes, like everything else in America, are just bigger.

c0nducktr··on Tiananmen Square images that China does not want you to see
I believe there's a video of the "tank man" part of the protest. If I recall correctly, he stands in front of the tank, and then tank tries to shuffle around him unsuccessfully several times, after a while several other people approach and pull him out of the tanks way.

I don't really think it's debunking anything, but that person wasn't run over by the tank he stood in front of.

Edit: found it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qq8zFLIftGk

c0nducktr··on Reddit Claims 52M Daily Users, Revealing a Key Figure for Social-Media Platforms
The Apollo app has gotten so good that I'm starting to worry they'll purchase it and neuter it or shut it down, just like they did the Alien Blue app a few years ago.
c0nducktr··on Amazon reportedly has Pinkerton agents surveil workers who try to form unions
Here's one job posting. It seems just like applying for any other job.

Just curious - are you self-hosting, or using their SaaS product?
c0nducktr··on [dead]
This is seriously the only reason I went to HN right now. If you don't like the post, don't click it, or flag.

I personally found this useful.

c0nducktr··on OnlyFans Faces Allegations of Fraud, Theft
I'm asking this in good faith: Why would you assume political motivation for this post?
c0nducktr··on 'Near extinction' of influenza in NZ as numbers drop due to lockdown
For extra deaths of cancer?
c0nducktr··on Apple iPhone 12: The chip advance set to make smartphones smarter
Can app developers charge 30% more for subscriptions done through the app store vs those done through their own payment methods?

If not, you're likely paying for it, due to the increased average cost to deliver the service/product.

c0nducktr··on Gallup: 81% of Black Americans Want Police to Retain Local Presence
Because the call to "defund the police" has been referenced implying it meant "get rid of police" and do nothing else? That's the whole pole... it's not implied that there will be other services provided to go along with the reduction in standard policing.
c0nducktr··on Ask HN: What can employers monitor while you work from home?
Does your company require location services to be enabled, or disabled?

I've always kept it disabled for privacy reasons, and also that I've never seen much utility in it myself.

c0nducktr··on Show HN: I'm 15 and made a bedtime calculator with React JavaScript
Jesus Christ dude. Be nice.

Why not try being encouraging instead of.. whatever that was.
