I don't know if that would be qualified as an unbiased source. The author seems to have an agenda going by the footer... The fact that he puts the word "Celtic" in quotation marks while suggesting there was no such culture is

There is also a significant distrust of Google (and other large tech companies) growing in Europe, and probably most other places outside of the US. Tie that with the fact that they are now charging people for using photos/email etc, t

I find that a pretty strange take.. Shouldn't data like this open up conversations around inheritance laws etc? Seems crazy that so much of todays wealth has been created a long time ago by horrendous people. The British Royal Family

I am seeing this sentiment so often online at the minute that it seems as though nobody has learned anything about DRM over the past 20 years. So many threads on reddit calling Italy "backwards" for protecting citizens data, and

I really like this idea. Is it possible for other users to install this (or something similar)? On mac preferably.

I absolutely hate when people respond to these kind of articles with "Why are people surprised". The truth is that no one is surprised. People are more disappointed, and frustrated, that this is allowed to happen, not just from a

I hate that the general conversation around !important is simply: "Important is bad. You should never use it". Its more of a belief rather than knowledge at this point. I'd be interested to hearing a good answer as to why o

Slighlty off topic but has anyone else noticed the following trend on HN recently? Post == Article Critical of Google Top Comment === Plays down the severity of said criticism The upvotes don't seem to have much correlation between the

The idea of a fairly distributed world coin is fascinating, and something I would absolutely love to see. Unfortunately, from reading that webpage, I don't think "Worldcoin" sounds like a very promising application of the con

he shared a link to buy colman's on amazon. It was in a plastic squeezy container!! The guy is not fit to write about mustard.

You should monetise this with amazon affiliate links that are relevant to each search. And then use that money to keep this project going. Google is fantastic, but it has become something different from what it was, the company and the prod

yep, I always find surveys to be a very lazy way of "doing science" but that is probably for another thread. The results of this survey do create an interesting (and in my opinion, believable) talking point, and maybe can lead to

The post title doesn't suggest anything otherwise.. This is a paper about hesitancy.

Its frustrating that it often costs the same price as its alcoholic counterpart. In many countries the tax on alcoholic drinks is taken as a acceptable reason for the high prices in bars. But when the non-alcoholic versions are just as expe

So, i get the sense that the political shape of the US has led to a kind of proxy war in the media. I see it as a powder keg and I really can't see it ever changing without exploding into something more real, like a succesful foreign i

I just mean for news that comes directly from US sources. I find things like the Wuhan lab theory to be fascinating, worrying and plausable. But I struggle to find any reliable information about it because (not just, but mainly) US publicat

I'm at the point where I instantly dismiss any "world" news that comes from the US. I'll simply wait for an independent source from another country to report on any such story. I also hold the opinion on US political new

You serious? The guy/girl is taking on the task of trying to help with understanding of one of the most complex, and well known, books we have as a species! And he/she is trying to do so using technology that most here are familia

I would think that early adaptors would look to take X% of their profits through crypto. If they can afford to continue operating even if they lose X, then it is an attractive opportunity, given the fact that it can rise in value so much (l

A lot of this guy's points are pure nonsense. We can't have a four day week because we need people to work 5 days to serve us coffee? I don't even want to waste my time typing the problems with that statement, there are just

And what if some engineer at github changes the original one to say that all my money has been sent to his account?

>what? no, the original repo is the real repo. my point is, is that the transparency makes it impossible for you to not trust me/GitHub. So we are back to trusting you again. transparency is not certain from github or from you
