Both are horrible because of government. Your taxes go to waste. Your government enforces Regulatory capture.

Why is healthcare unaffordable? Regulatory capture has made healthcare unnaturally expensive and half your income is sent away in taxes (payroll tax, federal income tax, state income tax, social security tax, medicare tax, Medicaid tax, property tax, sales tax)

Why is no political party addressing this? How has there been no counterbalance to corruption?

Would everyone composting solve this?

If anyone was unaware, urine is high in nitrogen and when added to compost is like "adding gas to fire, but slower". I never had an issue with Nitrogen in my compost.

I can see nitrogen going to waste if food ends up in a landfill, but I imagine our sewage systems recycle this for profit.

Is this manageable with habit changes?

Google has screwed their biggest fans too many times and we aren't Apple drones that can be pushed around.

I'm more curious if the community will be able to keep the project alive or if Google is going to keep the project theirs.

That said, the difficulty to funnel someone into clicking a link is insane and unpredictable.

Influencers may have 1M followers, but the visitors are not there for the human. They are there for the eye candy, the comment section, or information.

An advertisement is none of these. I can't imagine how difficult it would be to funnel someone who is barely interested in the content they are subscribed to, to buy something from an Ad.

But hey Nike figures out a way to turn this into profit.

Without lobbying, competition would have destroyed profitability of telecommunications.

If you get caught up in details, you won't be able to understand.

Find one that doesn't have a patent and reverse engineer it.

I imagine the first/original control system was extremely difficult to develop. But since the technology already exists you can reverse engineer it.

After that, you pay a supplier to make parts. In my experience, these suppliers will end up redesigning to match better with their process, but still meets critical specifications.

I'd post my contact info, but I believe I'm targeted by an HN mod.

Imagine if a large corporation bought ~50 old accounts and spoofed different computers/browsers. Only 5 votes is needed to hide a post.

Controlling the narrative is almost trivial if you can spend mere thousands of dollars.

All of this can change the narrative.

Anything pro S&P500 should be suspect, especially when the comments are defending bad news.

Heck if Aldi astroturfs on reddit Frugal, you bet everyone else has a reputation management team outsourced for plausible deniability.

I consider this a highly censored website with particular objectives, but a decent userbase.

If not for Snowden we wouldn't know this. How many other governments and Corporations are getting data?

Worst case I use OCR/mechanical turks in the future because I took screenshots.

I'd lie. I don't want to get singled out for home abuse or bullies. There are people that have it worse. And having to talk to people that are powerless to remove bullies is a huge mental drain.

The only good that came out of it was that I studied so freaking hard so I could get a job and move out.

There was no empathy for this demographic, but lots of empathy for 70+ year olds.

No school + get to see your friends? Yeah I can see that being good for mental health..

My 29 year old single male friends? Multiple told me they were going to try to get anti depressants. They refused to link it to the quarantine (politically they were in full support of the quarentine).

And me? Unemployment with my 1 year old was fun for 3 months. By month 5, the kid learned how to rule the household. I'm so glad I'm hired and the kid is in daycare.

But the longer I've worked for big companies, the less I think a big company needs these.

There are departments for new ideas, they can be calculated for profitability by a different department.

An engineer has a great idea from brainstorming with coworkers, how often does that make it into production? Instead of focusing on the job, the Engineer is working on a project that never happens.

I guess that sounds pessimistic, but I've rarely seen anything come from the bottom up.

And I recently had a bug with the transition from Google play music to YouTube Music. It seems I lost my premium membership, I'm not sure I'll re-buy these services.

Reading people's take on tech stocks long is laughable. In 1 year I have reduced my google usage in half, email and search only.

And search I've reduced due to SEO gaming. Bing can be better.

I'd take the big mac index over CPI.

Mcdonald's removed their dollar menu.

That and stock prices has me pointing to inflation.

Everything must happen in-person on paper, typed by computers, offline. I've already gotten in the habit of having friends leave their phones in the house and go on a walk when talking about sensitive information (tech IP)

For propaganda/astroturfing, stop using websites that don't require verification. There should be a real person behind every comment. Anonymous websites still will exist, but that's less trustworthy than someone putting their reputation on the line.

Edit-added emphasis on having anonymous websites since it wasn't being read.
