> The study, soon to be published in Ecology Law Quarterly, concludes that Congress “understood far more about the potential threat of anthropogenic climate change than either the [Supreme] Court or most commentators have recognized.”

Looks like it hasn't been published yet.

Yeah, they're putting ads everywhere and selling all your activity data.

Didn't they also just "allow" porn via some update to their rules? This change just seems like a way to say "hey, don't worry if you accidentally hit like on a porn tweet, we won't tell!"

This is extremely unlikely to happen because the people who own multiple houses have more political power than those who don’t, and they don’t want to give them up. And even if it did, there would be ways to pay experts to get around it, just like the tax system.

Pokemon was never like this though. It was always unfair, because you always had to buy two different games (red+blue, gold+silver, etc) to win either of them.

He doesn't care, and he won't change his ways. And that's perfectly okay!

I'm assuming you are someone who closes tabs sometimes. I am too. What you have to accept is that we are the weird ones. A browser is a tool and just opening new tabs for everything is the easiest way to use it. There is very little downside, because there is no need to ever touch an old tab if you can just open a new one. There is no limit on how many you can have open other than what your machine can handle, and even if the browser crashes, nothing is really lost, because you just... open a new tab.

Just accept it. It's hard, seeing a million tabs open really bugs me too, but you're not going to change anyone's mind on the subject.

For me the best part was everyone telling us that nothing like this was happening, that something like this wasn't even possible, that corporate greed could NEVER have ANYTHING to do with the price of everything going up.

What is so hard to believe about a weapons manufacturer killing someone?

That guy is not an influencer. An influencer is an attractive, young, wealthy person who endorses a product by producing "content" about using/consuming it in their extremely expensive apartment/house or on an extremely expensive trip. They sell stuff by being hot, which is nothing new. The difference is that the companies who make the stuff don't have to pay an ad agency, they just pay a person with a lot of instagram followers to post about it.

Thanks for posting that channel though, I decided I liked that guy within 5 seconds.

I would say google is more than okay with that.

There's no need to talk down to me.

My point was that they could be doing what people want for the entire duration of their term, rather than in the last few months. To use an analogy, it's like a student getting bad grades all year and then doing a bunch of extra credit assignments when they're worried about failing the class.

What bothers me is that all these things are only happening because it's an election year and the incumbent doesn't have great polling numbers.

keffals lost.

> Ravenell told police that she had forwarded the email to a student’s cell phone, “who she knew would rapidly spread the message around various social media outlets and throughout the school,” and also sent it to the media and the NAACP, police said.

That seems like a really terrible way to handle it.

This is why I just cannot take the "our democracy is under threat" bullshit seriously. Our "democracy" is a popularity contest where every 4 years a bunch of rich people lie to us for months to get elected and then do whatever their financial backers tell them to do.

Oh well. Hopefully nobody ever abuses these powers!

Yeah, maybe, but there are also laws in the US that makes some forms of protest against israel illegal for federal employees. These protests aren't just about the outrage du jour, they're about israel, the us government's greatest i̶n̶f̶l̶u̶e̶n̶c̶e̶ ally.

from the same guidelines - "If you flag, please don't also comment that you did." And why comment on a post you think is flag-worthy?

First past the post is fine. It's the people who don't vote the way I do that are the problem!

So the doctor I saw recently who told me exactly what I just said was lying to me?

Thanks for clarifying - I usually assume that when someone makes a subjective claim about how something "seems" that the "to me" part is implied, obvious even, but I forgot where I was. By the way, do you have a peer reviewed study to back up your claims?

Sorry I'm confused - clearer to you?

to who? to you apparently, right?

What I find really annoying is that doctors still won't sign off on a colonoscopy until you're 45. They will, but they do it in a way that apparently makes it not covered by insurance, despite the fact that a family member was diagnosed with colon cancer ~8 years ago. The current guidance says I shouldn't get one for another 13 years.

Everyone I have talked to about this has told me to just lie and say I have symptoms I don't have so I can get the "right" colonoscopy ordered that insurance will cover. It seems really stupid.

In my little internet sphere, the only time I see genx mentioned is by genx themselves, and it's to complain about how easy everyone else has it, how weak everyone else is, and most of all, how badass genx was/is. It seems you're becoming the new boomers.

It's confusing, but I think I can explain. If you are able to enjoy your life and not worry about something for any period of time, you are actually making a political statement that everyone else is wrong and you think they deserve to die. Every problem in the world must be your problem too, forever and always.

> Funny how a place full of rather smart, educated and curious people like HN collectively fail to see that one, very simple, fact.

You could have just made your point; you didn't have to end it with "everyone is dumb except me"

Isn't this how all ToS work though? They all contain some clause that says "actually we reserve the right to do whatever we want whenever we want and everything you read here is meaningless"

Embarrassing? It's an accomplishment for them! They're saving the company a huge amount of money. Employees are expensive, even the ones in the third-world you can pay $2/hr.

Downdetector is nice because it answers my question of "is anyone else having issues with this?" When it takes AWS an hour to even acknowledge "increased error rates", and tells me that everything is a-ok in the meantime, I want another perspective.
