Till the time the World uses your currency as the Global Reserve, you can print all the money you want.
When the actions of politicians in one country, make the rest of the world suffer, wonder how long will that privilege last.
These type of comments are sadly immediately downvoted by the HN hivemind. No credible response is given.
Sad.
This would be good reporting by NYT if this was not conflict of interest.
Strong Social Media companies give voice to the people, that runs counter to the power of the media.
We have seen many stories run in the last 5 years of Global importance, that NYT, WaPo, CNN etc decided were not TRUE.
And Social Media reacted to the words of these Guardians of Truth. Banning many accounts and even hurting many careers.
Now we see those stories by Mainstream media were either misguided or plain lies with an agenda.
Do we want even News Media to have this kind of power ?
Who is watching them ?
From what I have read in American News Media I see so many things that have been blatant lies published by respected News Media like NYT and WaPo. But I don't think I have come across corrections regarding such national and international stories.
Regarding your statement - " ... degrades the value of our public spaces." I believe even your mainstream news media is guilty of the same.
To be fair, NYT's motto was ( probably still is ) "All the News that's fit to Print" https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-16918787
Reading that resignation letter I wonder who gets to decide if the TRUTH is 'Fit to Print'.
Isn't this quite common in 'Cancel Culture' as well as in 'Hit Piece Journalism' ?
You can discredit anyone by portraying them as a single dimensional thought - generally stating their words or actions out of context.
Silly Example: A Person X has been seen frequenting a food joint that is participating in alleged inhumane industrial massacre of animals. So we read - The person is an evil animal hater. And so is everyone who has ever eaten at pretty much any fast food chain.
On Windows 10, I use Cold Turkey to block distracting websites. I often have issues with Firefox bypassing the blocks on Windows, ignoring the Hosts settings.
On Android, Block Site addons are not compatible with the new Firefox for Android.
I love Firefox, but some recent changes make me feel that I have less control over my browsing experience.
I hope they don't make things 'default' for our 'protection', rather leave some things to the user to decide as per their preferences.
Covid-19 has no cure. Anyone testing anything today is taking chances with people's lives.
It's nice to see that this pandemic hasn't let us people lose our 'petty politics' nature.
Especially the Journalists who will always try to push an agenda for clicks.
Try not to bring your bias into this.
But you are equating slum dwellers to rats.
Other than that I am not sure. Wonder if the ignition device is height adjustable. If I have a half used candle, where the wick doesn't reach the ignition device - I guess I will need to replace the candle.
