You realize that they've already repeatedly said they'd "bail out" people and groups affected by this? They just weren't willing to reward Evergrande's reckless behavior by giving them more money. Something the US…
I'm terrified by the fact that there are so many antivaxxers in Germany that they're showing up here too, as supposedly educated and intelligent peers. It is absolutely the fault of unvaccinated that they're…
I'm sick of people, so I'm not going to read the inevitable comments that are going to come. Look, face it, some people like taking nude photos of themselves and they like sharing them with their partners. There is…
I am so incredibly tired of Germany being a legal and technical internet backwater. It's exhausting and depressing and I hate it so much. I wish the old people would fuck the hell off, because they simply don't belong…
For the love of god, having a monopoly is not required to be guilty of anti-competitive behavior. Every time the topic comes up somebody says "but FB/whoever doesn't own the entire market so everything is fine", as if…
I like the idea of the site but it doesn't match what I want when I'm in a particular mood. If I'm sleepy, I'm more likely to want to watch something chill. If I'm sad, I'm more likely to want to watch something sad.…
Hadn't heard it either until I saw it twice here on HN this week. Interesting how that goes.
Right, sorry. It's basically a subreddit where people post cat pictures.
There was a comment by the person who's doing it on purpose and taking over abandoned NSFW subs. https://www.reddit.com/r/redditrequest/comments/6ruv62/_/dl8...
My favorite variation is the ones like https://reddit.com/r/tightpussy (sfw). There are a lot of them.
No, you're right. The whole article misses the forest for the trees. The term "dopamine fast" doesn't literally mean fasting from dopamine. It's about fasting from easy "dopamine hits" from media designed to exploit the…
Oh. I noticed that none of the supermarkets around me have had any bags for weeks. I somehow didn't connect the dots that there was a bag shortage. Odd. Why would there be a bag shortage?
Uh...you get what you pay for. I have Sennheisers that are still good 7 years later. I have Audio Technicas that have also lasted just as long. They just didn't cost $10, more like 100-500. But even my "low-end"…
Honestly, I'd be surprised to find out that most people used wireless 100% of the time. I have a few good wired headphones that I didn't throw out just because I got myself BT earbuds. What do people use with their PCs?
It's weird to see so much praise for ME2 everywhere. I hated the game after ME1. There's basically no main plot. 90% of it is side quests to flesh out side characters. Which, fine, I see why people enjoyed so much, but…
Not sure how this is relevant in any way. I've seen dozens of MacBooks where the hard drive had failed. Not to say that they fail any more than other laptops, but unless Apple has come up with some magical technology…
I used to be deeply immersed in Warcraft lore. WoW helped me kick that habit, ironically. I think though if the game had good stories told well, more people would be interested in paying attention. And people are…
Either we use it and learn to use it or we wipe out wide swathes of the human population over the next hundred years. I'm sure the millions who die and suffer over the next few decades will be grateful to your absolute…
$1.5b for an apartment building seems insanely high to me. Is that what they usually cost?
It's fairly common. Known reserves amount to around 80 million tons. Yearly production is around 100k tons. I think I saw a projection for a yearly consumption of around 1.7m tons in 2030. I'd say the biggest issue is…
I've had my QR code scanned going to bars and restaurants in Germany. Works fine.
> OK: But what does this have to do with the glowglobes? The thing about writing a sci-fi book where your big shtick is that There Are No Computers is that you can no longer use “Very Advanced Computers” as your…
I feel like the 80s movie does this far better. For all its flaws. It makes an effort to show the emperor and the spacing guild and impress upon the viewer how involved and how powerful (or in the case of the spacing…
Sort of nuts that it is solely reliant on Microsoft to approve this change. Calls the whole .NET Foundation into question, imo. What good is open source if the sole steward has interests that conflict with the overall…
You're not wrong. I guess I'm more annoyed by how widespread it has become to waste whitespace. The new Reddit design is unusable for me because of how much space it wastes. I try it sometimes for a few days, then go…
