You’re agreeing with the op. You do have free speech on social media. You also have consequences. Same as on the street, work, school, playground, grocery store, car dealership…

I’m guessing nobody boundary tested this

Uhh like the thousands of existing regulations? Personally I’m banned from having roosters in my yard, banned from watering on even-numbered days, banned from renting my lawn to campers, banned from having political signs outside of the 6 weeks pre & post election…

Also I’m fine with all these.

Ars Technica is only $25/yr and has a lot of deep knowledge on specific topics

The WSJ has equally horrid opinion pages, as does my local paper. Editorial sections are basically trash in general, avoid them like the plague and your experience will be much better.

Editorial sections are “clickbait” even before that was a thing. They’ve always existed to fire people up and sell papers.

The WSJ news section is generally described as center-right, and the editorial pages as hard-right

200t is “gold, silver, and emeralds”

Thousands upon thousands. There are a lot more companies in the world than FAANGs and SV unicorns.

For certain definitions of “free”

spending time scrolling to try and find where the ad results end and my organic results begin is one thing that feels very un-free

Pretty sure Upton Sinclair debunked that theory over 100 years ago

Any reason you don’t do, say 3 to 4 months of each service so you cycle through 3 or 4 services in a year to see everything that interests you

Heh that's a neat puzzle, guess I'm not cut out for it because my post only returns "Getting closer...." or "<h1>Internal Server Error</h1>" lol

> an epic last stand to try to kill the invincible dragon, something that had only been done once before and was itself a legendary piece of MMO history.

From a story linked below it sounds like the sleeper has been killed many times. The article seems to incorrectly state this 2022 attempt would be the second kill ever…

>> players of Rallos Zek, who were congratulated by SOE and given official confirmation of a game-first accomplishment. The Sleeper would be killed many times after this, but never quite as memorably.

> Any company or person would do the same.

Definitely not a given, NYT made a choice to act aggressively to monetize their IP and can bear the consequences of doing so.

A classic example is Metallica suing their own fans who downloaded their music, and Radiohead who let fans name their own price for an album including $0. In all 3 cases above, all parties got to choose their own actions which all have their own outcomes.

As someone with student loans and a mortgage, I got a 7% write down but a 18% pay bump this year! Hope I get it for several more years to come

Uh, looking at recent mortality rates COVID is much more dangerous than polio. Luckily people don’t have to pick one vaccine, they can have both.

Possibly the concept existed but the “blameless” term is widely credited to the GP, John Allspaw, who became CTO of Etsy. At least I haven’t found anything definitive predating him.

Also impressive he’s had an HN acct for 12 years but only 5 karma!

Did he or didn’t he? Which he is he? Why would a blog post matter?

So, the burden lies with our ancestors who turned teosinte into corn?

Blackmail? Spider-man? Murdering journalists? I feel like maybe you’ve lost the thread here

Not sure the analogy holds when Visa and Mastercard repeatedly warn the hotel they’re violating their ToS, but the hotel dgaf

Having seen how you can massage numbers to say basically whatever you want time and again, that was my immediate thought

“Gremlins 2 is our most watched movie _ever_”*

* featuring a monster made entirely out of vegetables

Similarly if you’re looking to buy in the southern tip of Manhattan, Star Island Miami, or Brentwood.

lol, ok I'm not quite sure how discussing fractions of an integer would change the conversation in this case since we're already trying to compare one person's $120k to a statistical median of ~$35k.

If you're actually interested in the numbers on different groups they're here [0]. For ex $120k is ~5.77x the median for a woman without a college degree.

Depends on your lifestyle but for the bulk of Americans $120k is extremely cushy, at nearly 4x the median salary of $35k

lol “semen-like” scent is right, we called them boiled-mushroom trees

Awesome vid, the visuals of driving in the nail to softwood are especially helpful. Had no idea cut nails were tested to grip about 1.5x better than wire nails, I thought they were mainly just about aesthetics

I hope they’d make a lot more than $100/hr doing a concert. Otherwise they sound like, you know, a local band without any real following.

This has been my experience, my one old piece of Griswold is way more nonstick than my several pieces of lodge have ever gotten, no matter how much bacon I cook in them. Gonna try the wire bush on the lodge, couldn’t make it any worse!

Make Opium Great Again

Seriously though both tobacco and a lot of other “whatever they want” crops have mountains of externalized costs and societal consequences
