The issue with that is that it's a very slippery slope. Same laws could be used against people recording police interactions in public, for example, or other interactions where a private citizen is harassing another private citizen. It

As the article points out, having a choice, and not being pressured by society into having kids one doesn't want, certainly is a good thing. On the other hand, as the article notes: > [...] cannot afford to have more children, or be

That sounds like a pretty big abuse of their power and potentially raises anti-trust concerns. They could easily wield that power for nefarious reasons and I don't think any of us would want that. We can change laws. Companies should a

Honestly, I think Jonny Ive makes good industrial design (minus the far too extreme "minimalism" push with the butterfly keyboard MacBooks; they really need an "editor" like Steve Jobs) but their UI/UX design has re

I don't think the example you gave holds. This is how I would characterize that: Blocking someone = not buying Wired magazine so you can't read it yourself Banning someone from the internet = banning Wired magazine so no one can e

This is often the unspoken part but I agree that it's one of, if not the most important aspect for our energy needs. I understand economics can't just be thrown out of the window but I feel like a lot of governments don't s

I see a lot of parallels with Sri Lanka and Turkey. Dwindling foreign exchange reserves, crashing value of the Turkish Lira, trade deficit, arbitrary decision making, etc. Makes me scared for Turkey's future...

If you like Brazil, I would also recommend The Zero Theorem. It's sort of a spiritual successor to Brazil AFAIK. It's maybe not as memorable and iconic as Brazil, though, but worth at least one watch.

Came here to say this. The book is fantastic in itself too and I view the movie more as a "visualization of the parts that Kubrick found the most interesting". I see those two as slightly different art pieces and love them both. T

Turkey actually has a very good online portal [1] for a lot of interactions for the government. Anything from obtaining official letters to checking statuses of court causes, etc. can be done over it. Pretty decent iOS app too. Credit where

Like many people here, I share the negative sentiment towards yellow taxis. It's simply a sordid experience. Arguing with the drivers to not get figuratively (and actually on one occasion in NYC) robbed, trying to convince drivers th

It really doesn't seem slim to me. This article [0] (which was previously discussed on HN [1]) found that "just 0.1 percent of miners (about 50 operations) are responsible for half of all mining output". So it seems like a ve
