Imagine putting a paywall up on your personal blog. I can't imagine people reliably get invested in your content if you're blocking them from reading the top three posts.

Christ, that CEO looks like scum. I wonder if he ever thinks about the people he's killed.

It's a nice thought, but I think I'd rather be able to consume nice stuff in my own time without it being added to the wokload of the stuff that I have to look at.

Is there an advice organisation similar to the UK's citizen's advice organisation? I imagine that since the cost of living is so high in the netherlands what you're experiencing must not be an unheard of problem. maybe find t

The mouse has caused a creative dark age with it's aggressive legal pursual of the extension of copyright. Every time the original mickey mouse cartoon approaches public domain copyright gets more mutated and unwieldy. Shameful.

Autophagy is the natural, regulated mechanism of the cell that removes unnecessary or dysfunctional components. It allows the orderly degradation and recycling of cellular components. The debt would be a buildup of those components.

Were you in a bright room? That would have given you context, which is what he warned against.

That's... not what the source says at all. Very aggressive editorialising for rage clicks.

There was a pic of an older guy, but what was unsettling was the woman peeking over his shoulder; like a friend or a family member, leaning into the photo. Her eyes were melting into black and white streaks curling down over her sagging che

Could you imagine if you had a really important job you needed doing and the person you hired pulled this. Honestly I'd probably "Expand the team" of people doing the job to two, get the not-a-replacement up to speed and just

What do you mean by community? Like a Facebook community? Do you need an account to post on the facebook community?

The sound design on this podcast is awful. Interesting podcast, but the music is way too loud and doesn't fade in or out at all. the mic of the host seems to occasionally tear as well.

When referencing baby genital mutilation, it might be worth dropping the "female". It's just as horrible to slice up a male baby's genitalia, and it's done much more often.

Very fair point, haven't thought about it that way. I wonder if any studies have been done on where the homeless in the liberal leaning cities actually originally come from. As for the Dems in congress - You'd need the right kind

I'm not american, so correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I see in the american news many liberal strongholds have the highest homeless rates and aren't doing a lot to remedy the situation - lacking low income housing etc.

This this this. It's all well and good cooking and prepping etc when you're in a comfortable house and have stocked kitchen space to yourself at home, but when you realise that a lot of people eating out every day don't have

Breach of contract on location and number increases the possibility of accidental inbreeding for his children and those children concieved with his sperm without his knowledge. Very possible if those children go to the same school etc.

Didn't intend to imply that the Leave campaign was performed wholly in good faith, I'm not so naive as to think that there are not parties that benefit from the weakness of the pound and instability that the unprepared government

Agreed, this is a great resource, and the more of those "no data" end points that are filled in, the better. Would be great to drill down and specifically see who gets paid what, for doing which jobs, how much money is going to wh

Fair enough, maybe that's the wrong term to use, after all just after the leave vote UKIP got an eighth of the national vote and no seats in parliament, so from the right wing point of view that's a poor term to use as well. Fair

Appreciate the support, but I usually lurk specifically because I know my opinions aren't welcome. Despite this shortcoming I enjoy HN and happily read the lower vote comments first in every thread, haha.

Yes, the current government does not have a majority, but this was due to internal strife caused by the leaver/remainer dynamic within the halls of power. Fair enough, the UK government is rotten to the core and the lot deserve to be t
