I'd never trust it with any data I care about. HN doesn't even let you delete your account with post history.
So yes.
Another word for basically the same thing, yes. Excommunication is top-down directed shunning.
> I mean are they being forced to do it and not being paid for it Slavery is forced labor, which is orthogonal to being paid. If you are forced to work but are also paid (perhaps rare, but not unheard of), you are still…
"Do with them"? That's a truly chilling way to speak of people.
Cancel culture isn't that either. Cancel culture is a rebranding of 'shunning', which I bet predates humans as we know them. I bet our social monkey predecessors had such tactics figured out. Read this and tell me it…
You're only feigning surprise.. right?
Correct, but Chomsky wanted people to believe it was lies.
If a body, then why not an egg?
Quantity has a quality all of it's own. Wiretaps against a specific individuals is a lot different than dragnets covering an entire nation.
With construction or moving? I'd rather keep my home the way it is, thanks.
That assumes your town has such coworking facilities. Maybe a safe assumption in cities, but definitely not in all towns nor for people living in more rural areas. And if you're going to commute to a coworking office in…
It's also important to consider that many people don't have homes that are conducive to working, because there are many other people in the house, or because they don't have the space for a dedicated office, or any…

It's probably easier to list the invertebrates that aren't commonly called bugs than those that are. Squid, octopus and jellyfish get a pass. The immobile ones like corals and sponges as well, but I think that's about…
If you're speaking colloquially, earthworms are bugs but they aren't insects. If you're being pedantic, houseflies are insects but they aren't bugs.
TTS ebooks at 500-600wpm is easy for me, though I usually top out at 2.5x for audiobooks. I'm not sure what the conversion factor between those is, but TTS is definitely faster.
It's not "misshaped" if it's precisely the way it's meant to be. The media need to stop trading credibility for clicks, before they run out. I flagged this article, if the idea is to give HN a pretext to talk about…
He means the One China Policy. But CogitoCogito is right. China is only be "contained" by Taiwan in the hypothetical circumstance of a war; during peace time they obviously have no trouble sending ships around the world…
To be clear, I'm not faulting the EU for it. The EU should be concerned more with their own security, particularly if America gets tied up with China and is consequently less capable of helping to defend the EU against…
