Of course there's a dark side, but the truth is that a lack of real democracy, fair elections, human rights etc. just isn't going to matter to your average startup. In fact, it's not going to matter to the average person, eit

It includes exposure, yes, but the idea is to encourage the patient/client to decide to seek out triggering stimuli themselves.

"Indifferent towards rape." Seriously? Not being triggered by a depiction of a rape in a novel doesn't mean you're indifferent towards rape. And while "springing" "triggering" "content" on a

What does "toxic" mean?

This sounds like a caricature. I haven't been to the US in years, but I don't believe it's this bad.

Really? Really ? Take a look at the unemployment in Spain or France and get back to me. Also, not all countries in Europe have a minimum wage - there's no official minimum wage in Norway (although the de facto minimum wage is a lot hi

I'd rather work for my own business at $10 an hour than for a franchise or corporate chain at $20 an hour.

Trust your own experience – not because it's more likely to be true but because it's more likely to matter to you.

C feels good, JavaScript doesn't. Rust is extremist propaganda disguised as an admittedly pretty good programming language.

Almost every single web service in existence works or would work fine on a single server. We don't all need the cloud.

Slightly related, but I once ran an imageboard for friends and set up a hook to output the EXIF geolocation of uploaded photos to a private IRC channel. It was surprising to see how often something would show up! Even when uploading photos

Actually, that's fair and makes complete sense. My bad. It's just sad to see it devolve into yet another "Japan is crazy" party :( The privacy implications are, I agree, interesting...

I can't believe this needs saying, but drawn characters aren't real.

"Something weird and crazy happened in this country of 125 million people" This is "Florida Man" type clickbait and doesn't belong on Hacker News in my opinion.

While I disagree that Japan is dull or boring, this is a pretty good post.

If you disregard immigrants from Africa, the Middle-East and Asia, most European countries have birth rates at the same level or lower than Japan.

Oh yeah, there are attempts all over the world, but for some reason it seems to "stick" better in the anglosphere. Also, while this is all coming from the left, it's not really coming from the "mainstream left" - it

This is what happens when corporate codes meet kindergarten mindsets. The longer this continues, the worse the blowback is going to get - I'm just happy to be far enough away to not have to care (protip: get the fuck out of the anglosp

There's a reason all these stories stay so vague - as soon as the details come out, it turns out to be lies, exaggerations or really really minor stuff. By keeping the narrative at the level of "fouled up his room", "mad

Are you... are you serious? Do you expect this to convince sane people? The disingenuousness on display in these threads is amazing. "Maybe this is RMS's last-ditch effort to return to his glory days, when he could put abortion re

Do you think Richard Stallman was "powerful" enough to "easily silence" accusers?

Take all of that effort you're pouring into politics, and spend it all on yourself. Enjoy.

You are either lying about Peterson, or you just haven't listened to him properly. He brings up heritability ranges all the time and he also explains why a seemingly smallish difference between preferences by gender can have surprising

Today's capitalist system is lifting people out of poverty at a pace we couldn't have imagined 200 years ago. If you really believe that quality of life for the world's poor has decreased in recent years you are living in a b

I follow about a thousand people on twitter, all of whom I met IRL. Not a single person tweets about brexit, sexism, politics or ideology.

The peculiarly American coalition of political extremists, liars, con artists and mentally ill people wins again, and the longer they keep winning the worse the backlash is going to be when it comes. Just say no to codes of conduct. Say no
