Hopefully this causes Meta to be more transparent about what data is sent to their annotators. It seems like even the annotators didn't know whether the person explicitly hit recorded (whether accidentally or not) or if it's sampl

Unfortunately that's kind of the reality for NYC. Since Bloomberg left it's been a one party city and ranked choice voting is implemented in the primary but not the general election. That means Democrats can feel comfortable votin

This argument reads like whataboutism. If you believe it's immoral to force Americans to pay for foreign aid then I don't see how the argument "well that money could be spent worse" is valid.

Do you have any examples of libertarian candidates that did not support individual rights?

This seems silly. I hate backwards compatibility but this change will just cause people to use `except BaseException` everywhere which seems even less idiomatic than bare excepts. ETA: Nobody is going to dig through a large codebase to fin

Your premise is wrong. The point of a free market is to allow supply and demand to accurately determine pricing. It is not a desired effect of the free market for production costs to always correlate or even be close to the price of goods o

I'm getting one in May so I gave this a watch. The discussion on safety starts at around 6:30 with the concerns being over harvesting of donor areas, scarring, poor growth, and potential nerve damage. Make sure to find a clinic with a

Subreddit posts per day is really not a great metric to track engagement. You probably want comments or votes per day.

That sounds a lot like profit, no?

I'll admit I was a bit snarky but my thanks was genuine - I enjoy learning why people believe the things they do. Anyways, my final argument is if an individual asset of a company doesn't directly generate revenue yet increases co

That's an interesting misconception of what capitalism is. I had not seen that one before. Thank you for sharing.

Private ownership and the protection of those property rights are exactly what capitalism is. As long as there is no coercive entity dictating what YC can and cannot do with it's capital then HN absolutely is a product of capitalism. C

How is this not a straightforward example of capitalism? This site is privately owned, therefore it is free to flow in the capital market.

You described exactly why this law isn't necessary. Property rights already exist and can be enforced without infringing on another's.

I enjoy how you jump to the defense of ravers and entrepreneurs and in the same sentence call a roadhouse located in Idaho "low class". There's something very poetic about this cognitive dissonance.

This argument seems tautological. - If he's charging for the service now then he'll clearly do anything to maximize profits. - If the service remains free then he clearly needs to sell granular user data to stay above water. Perha

That reason might be a nice scapegoat that they invented after criticism because it's mentioned nowhere in their official announcement. >There are three big reasons why we’re removing SMS support for the Android app now: prioritizin

I don't know where you got terrorism from. The definition under question is "domestic extremism" which is not well defined. Depending on who you ask an extremist can vary between anyone who believes in the 2nd amendment to ac

America has an enormous obesity problem which contributes to a significant number of Covid fatalities. When we tell Americans to get healthy it's mostly targeted towards those people.

It doesn't sound like either of those reverts are necessarily for malicious patches. They are reverting all commits from umn.edu addresses regardless of their involvement with this professor.

I'll admit that if the GP holds the opinion that all ad blockers are "scummy" then I wouldn't be bothered. But considering I never see ublock origin get criticism here I have to assume that when most people criticize Bra

That's a feature, not a bug. The point of the Brave ad blocker is to (optionally) replace unethical ads with ethical ones so you can compensate the content creators you browse. How is this scummy?
