Whenever I see a politician or regulator arrested for accepting bribes, I think, what an amateur. American elites have perfected the art of the grift: do a turn in government or academy, and then become a ‘thought leader’ or form an NGO and

It's only 'unsavory' if you're ignorant of the history and reality of Korea. Korea is a small, culturally and racially homogenous nation that, within living memory, was colonized by a power that attempted to wipe out its

Yeah when it falls from 10 kids per couple to 2-3. But not when it falls below 1, which is what happened in South Korea: "Kim, a product designer and art instructor, calls her hopes of one day having children "just a fantasy"

Of course we do! That's why we're talking to each other about it. Twitch risks a backlash from parents if adult content comes more prevalent on the site.

I’ve talked to my friends about this (we all have young children) and they had no idea softcore porn is prevalent on twitch. Not to mention actual adult stars regularly streaming. And before anybody replies “and whats wrong with that” blah

They're going after her because she enabled the much larger theft, not just because she took six mil herself.

You don't know how the LSAT works, do you? It's not a memorization test. It has sections that test reading comprehension and logical thinking.

"One explanation for the age-based reduction in music consumption simply posits that responsibility-laden adults may have less discretionary time to explore their musical interests than younger people." This seems most likely? I&#

Do me a favor. Go to China and start an opposition party. Or hand out flyers in Beijing criticizing Xi’s third term. When you come back from the gulags in couple decades, tell us about your experience with Chinese democracy.

I'm in the beta and this hasn't been my experience at all. Yes, if you treat Bing/ChatGPT like a smart AI friend who will hold interesting conversations with you, then you will be sorely disappointed. You can also easily tric

This article is full of strawman arguments. I'm not aware of anyone who's arguing for moving billions of humans to another planet or for dedicating the resources of Earth to terraform Mars. It's not like Mars colonization pro

Prediction: elite private schools will start banning social media and/or smartphone use by its students, and the trend will spread to the greater public.

Oral arguments are today. The justices vote afterwards but we won't know the result until the opinions are issued, which will be several months from now.

It's a fantastic game, I highly recommend it. There is a Steam version if you'd like to try it out. You can play against the AI or match up against a human being.

They were never a party to the lawsuit. Reading between the lines, they negotiated with Meta's lawyers and agreed to produce some documents/testimony in response to the subpoena.

This kind of subpoena is boilerplate. No one actually expects SimulaVR to provide all this information or to show up for a deposition. This is actually how it will go down: SimulaVR-Lawyer: Hey Meta-lawyer, I got your subpoena. We're a

Unfortunately I think word of mouth is the best way to find good attorneys. Ask people who run similar businesses as you who they use? If there's a chamber of commerce in your city or town, you could ask them for references.

This is exactly how it would go down. People on this thread freaking out have no idea how the legal system works.

You made a site complaining about the subpoena and came to Hacker News to complain about it some more. Look, I get that you guys are a small shop but you should not be surprised to be asked to provide evidence in an antitrust litigation ove

You. Work. With. The. Attorneys. Why is this so hard to grasp. This subpoena is to get certain market information. SimulaVR can negotiate with Meta to provide the information in a way that's not super burdensome for them. I did this al

This shows that SimulaVR is run by a bunch of children. Every subpoena says this, but you work with the attorneys to figure out the time and manner that works best for the deposition. I routinely flew thousands of miles to do depositions in

Welcome to the American legal system. Facebook did nothing wrong here. When I was an attorney and involved with these kinds of subpoenas, we always worked with the third-parties to make document production less burdensome for them. SimulaVR

Yeah, and it's even worse because FBI, NSA, etc. lose thousands of potential recruits every year because of the weed ban.
