The story of all these unicorns really is you have to be willing to play in the grey. From move fast and break things, to avoiding regulations without the law coming down on you.

Were you in poor shape in your twenties or are you also taking HGH/test through your doc? The amount of testosterone your body produces at 20 vs 64 is massive. Testosterone and no exercise produces more lean muscle, than exercising wit

This happens on Reddit too. If you post something slightly incorrect or even a misspelling, it'll give it that first flurry of engagement which gives it a better chance of striking gold.

It's true. Nazis didn't come to power with boos and jeers. The baddies always come to power with thunderous applause and it's pretty much all that's been going on today over deplatforming one side of the political spectr

They already do that for torrent websites. It's easy to imagine the jump to politically disliked opinions. It's McCarthyism and the red scare all over again except the party enforcing it has switched.

These people are a little crazy and this is now a declaration of war by big tech. I really hope they're ready because this is a stupid move in my opinion.

Child pornography is illegal. If Trumps tweet is illegal, then the authorities would love to know and the justice system can handle it. No one is asking Twitter to break the law, nor host illegal content of any kind.

The folks that are pro-private company censorship always do that. It's the only way their argument works so they have to avoid the nuance that free speech has a law and a principle. It's constant to read opinions like that in thre

This is on par with election fraud. No matter if there is any, one side will downplay while the other screams it’s the tip of the iceberg. Both sides know presidential elections are a zero-sum game and will do whatever it takes to win. Agai

They commented on HN at the time. 7 years later and this incident is still brought up which I gotta imagine is making them cringe right now. Don't make genitalia jokes unless you have balls of steel.
