My thought exactly!! Someone needs to learn what their attack words actually mean.

Good for her, although it is astonishing how these at one time anti establishment artists are now shilling for the man. And trying to shut down free speech and the exchange of ideas.

You are right. I apologize for injecting a subject that has no relevance to the conversation, sometimes I forget that doing so is not within HN guidelines. (And by right I obviously mean correct, although it is an interesting double entendre!)

>>>Ethnic Chinese already face unfair hurdles by the current push against standardized testing.

Please elaborate on this argument.

Interesting comment...Other than the statement made about not wanting to speak to his wife in a foreign language, which I took as Gang Chen's perceived fear of racist treatment rather than actual racism. I did not get the opinion that racism had any role in the actions taken by authorities.

I am curious and you obviously do not need to answer, but in an effort for a fair and honest conversation and your seeing racism in this story, do you identify as a visible minority?

I think he was targeted upon returning from China when he refused to turn over device passwords to the DHS agents (Who could have been racist but are definitely authoritarian).

Don't get me wrong this whole situation rings heavily of McCarthyism and worse the offer to confess or take a deal is a disgusting practice that has destroyed many young (Black) men's lives under the guise of justice being served. There is a history of the state making the threat that not confessing's result will be so bad that deals were made and those deals had life long consequences that changed and continue to change the trajectory of lives that otherwise had great potential if not for a corrupt legal system.

For a bit more context, as an egg farmer I have watched this Flu make its way out of the East and into Israel, from there on to Europe where it devastated poultry farms forced to cull their flocks and now it has been detected in North America in a country gone mad with FUD.

My advice to any farmers and homesteaders in the US and Canada, get an incubator and start hatching out eggs, you will want to have eggs somewhere in the 21 day incubation period when the men in white suits backed up by police with guns arrive at your gates.

Here is a YouTube video for those that would rather watch a video than read the article.

This is the reply that is going to get me in trouble but here goes.

What makes you think you can walk into a casino and demand that everyone listen to you while you explain how all the games are rigged and everyone is a sucker that is in there?

Or worse jumping up on the roulette table and announcing that changes need to be made so that things are more fair and that the patrons should join you in rising up against such wicked circumstances!

You don't walk into a dealers house and tell everyone they are cutting the product and you shouldn't jump onto a company's web site and proclaim injustice.

Just the fact that this thread has been allowed to exist says something about the tolerance of HN and restraint of it's moderators...

Damnit you sucked me in to being nasty, I'm sorry... I guess it's time to take a break. GN all.

Do you really think there is dominance? I think there is far more engagement in individual YouTube Channels.

How exactly would tracking negative reviews of links and comments be of benefit to anyone other than the person receiving such feedback?

It seems to me that if someone is receiving negative feedback through their submissions by being Flagged or Pushed Down or even Killed on a site like HN they should be able to infer some value from that and take it as it is. Analyzing it would serve no greater purpose than protecting an ego that may be shielded from the truth too much already.

Chances are my comment is going to result in exactly what was described but I am self aware enough to know that the result is not unwarranted. I just need to stop being baited into such conversations.

I am trying to turn a new leaf and be more positive so I will concede that it hurts when a community rejects my opinions and comments and I can appreciate where you are coming from. I just think if you are smart enough for such things to affect you enough to pose such a question then instead of looking for a way to fight it, be proud that you are considerate enough to feel that the opinion of others means something to you. You are human!!

After looking into your problem a bit deeper it seems there are certain apps that may override these settings and force screen locks. There is also different versions of android each with different menu settings.

So I would say the best option for you is to go through a process of elimination by first finding out what version of android your phone is using and doing a search for screen lock during call settings based on that version. Then if that does not solve the problem begin removing unnecessary apps and then one by one disabling the apps you need until the problem is resolved.

Other than that, maybe the other comment about trimming around the camera might fix the issue.

Sorry I can't be of more help, I hope you resolve the issue.

I don't get it, is this just some sort of experiment for messing with forums or is there an actual product here?

I can't even buy a keyboard for $15 anymore since inflation took off.

So yeah if in fact this is a real product I'll throw a few bucks at it to help make it happen.

Probably uses a swap file on the 8MB of flash which most likely has just as fast read speeds as the original Dos PC's ram did.

*Edit*

it looks like it is using a clone of Doom called PrBoom so the system requirements of the original would not apply. Kind of misleading but my eyes are so bad I probably couldn't tell the difference between Doom or Pong on a 1.3" screen anyways!!!

> Some of you mention dislikes help you decide what to watch,” said YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki. "But...

*Edit*

YOUTUBE WILL DECIDE THAT FOR YOU!!!

Google Says:

In the phone app, go to menu / Call settings and uncheck "Auto screen off during calls." If this box is checked, the proximity detector senses when you put the phone to your face and blanks the screen so that you don't accidentally activate buttons with your face.

This is a troubling story in so many ways, I don't know what the answer to the problem is but feel something needs to change within the government when people are subjected to what can only be described as a witch trial bordering on McCarthyism.

The fact the state and his own lawyer were pressing him to take a deal is also very troubling as it echoes the plight of many impoverished young men who lost their families, careers, reputations and futures by pleading down trumped up charges laid against them.

These are the stories the RWM doesn't cover as it does not fit their narrative.

I find the value I gain from HN is that it provides me a slight edge to the stock market. I am an early riser and find that by visiting HN before the markets open offers me an opportunity to be aware of new information before it hits the street. This could be a hammer sees nails everywhere situation but more likely breaking news articles with high HN engagement are a good indicator of a news story's potential effect on the market.

Fair enough, it all depends on how much a person or group of people are willing to pay for one tree or many fractions of a tree.

A typical old growth cedar in my neck of the woods currently runs on average somewhere between 5000 CAD AND 20000 CAD before milling, after going through a saw mill that number typically doubles or triples depending on the quality or grade of lumber produced.

I would imagine there would be a cost of around 2000 CAD to actually register the ownership within the current system so the amount 200 USD worth of gas to mint that to the block chain is really insignificant.

There would be several other issues such as those pesky trees that fall down and the noise they make, fires, animal squatters etc. not to mention the local governments would eventually want their grubby little hands greased in some way or another if actual commerce was being conducted using a so called crown resource (Yes in Canada the Crown gets their cut even from private land).

Still, that is but one simple idea for what is a new market being built up at this moment in time that we are all fortunate enough to be living through.

Is it any better than tulips? Maybe, maybe not but I remain open to the possibility and feel the need to speak up when the smoke blowers start pushing their opinions as fact. Especially imaginary experts on theoretical things such as Astro Biology that earn their livings corrupting young minds with propaganda under the guise of it being higher education, while at the same time having no problem silencing the voices of those who hold contrary opinions. I'm looking at you leftist liberal universities.

TLDR; other than >>> Specifically, many of us see NFTs as a 'circle jerk'

What do you think of tagging old growth trees on private property with QR codes linking NTFs as a way to protect them from the logging industry yet still extract the potential value of a literal growth asset?

Sometimes the early stages of a market do not reveal it's full potential, in the 1970s and 1980s many dismissed personal computers too.

I sometimes think that people with degrees should know better than to arrogantly conflate their google searches with actual knowledge and insight and so easily dismiss emerging markets they do not understand.

I am not a huge fan of digital NFTs either but then I really don't understand why anyone would pay for imaginary items in a game regardless of it being an NFT or just some vanity item yet people do it all the time.

The exact same arguments made against digital merchandise could and should be made against the perfume and makeup industries I suppose, as it is all just fake and has no tangible value.

Sorry if my words weren't snooty enough to rise to your level, I lost my thesaurus.

Astro Biologist...lol

I didn't think the science was settled on such things? Do I believe there is a logical argument for life out there? Definitely but how arrogant must one be to name themselves the Head Astro Biologist? And then to critique the economics of emerging markets...I guess that makes him an Astro-Biological-Economist too!!

Who knew a physics degree could take you so far!!!

This story is going to give me nightmares, it sounds like the plot of a horror film. I feel terrible for her and hope that it turns out to be nothing.

My dark sense of humor has to ask the question "Yeah but was she wearing her mask?"

What you are talking about is a "Reputation doppelgänger". I could retype the advice found in this article but probably best to just share the link ;)

There is a rumor that recent improvements in virus detection have provided the ability to identify certain respiratory diseases that frequently resulted in mortality of older individuals in the past and there is the possibility of new vaccine technology for said diseases based on mRNA research.

What used to be thought of as a "natural causes" death has now been classified and because of this classification, opportunities for new and exciting treatments and preventative measures are being applied.

I think this service is very helpful, I have used a similar hotline in my local area and was provided valuable information about services running in and around my property.

That being said, the entire experience made me feel very uncomfortable as once I provided my information I was informed that I must wait until 5 different companies replied to the request for information and that if I began work before hand I could be subjected to fines and stop work orders.

Two weeks later I received the last confirmation that company X did not have any services located within my property boundaries and that I had 30 days to complete the work specified, in the event the work required longer to complete or I wanted to do any different work, I would be required to go through the process again.

I can't help but feel doing the right thing and "Dialing before I dug" has now put me on a list that I would not otherwise have been on. I was only building a fence but can imagine if I was doing any other construction the local permitting and inspection enforcers would be paying me a visit soon after calling.

I would probably do it the same way knowing what I know now as I don't want to cause damage to mine or anyone else's property by damaging a hidden service but feel that the bureaucracy and legal CMA type procedures have tainted an otherwise great service.

Have you tried asking Elon?

It does seem there is somewhat of a double standard when it comes to defining what is considered a hate crime these days. I live in Canada and we suffered through a summer of "Church Fires" but god forbid someone spray paints over an anti-family, anti-American, Marxist BLM mural, lock em up!

Just to be clear I don't think either example should get a free pass, they are both despicable cowardly acts but without equal justice, be it social or criminal how can anyone expect any other form of equality to exist?

I find it disturbing that in a time when our struggles should be binding us together, it seems every special interest group is taking this opportunity to tear down and blame their fellow citizen for every past grievance.

I fear the coming hard times are only going to make these radicalized people more desperate and violent until the entire system collapses under their self serving unpatriotic actions.

Maybe that is what they think they want but as the saying goes "Be careful what you wish for."!

Start with fables maybe? Stuff that has been overlooked in modern education systems? Critical thinking is like riding a bike or swimming, or an optical illusion...Once you get it it you get it.

Aesop's Fables is a good start!

I think there are a few reasonable arguments in this article but the fact that Apple has lots of cash isn't one of them. I am always amazed at how easily people throw around numbers like 8 billion dollars without a second thought. Even worse suggesting that paying 11 billion would be a reasonable price or in other words paying a 40% premium on a falling stock, would make investors happy.

Expect more of these stories if BTC price continues to drop. I am not saying this is an inside job but imagine there are a number of embezzlers that have been dipping into the cookie jar and are about to get caught if prices don't recover soon.

Either that or a bunch of people might end up dead in India soon.

Yes far better to include the information you find relevant in a comment rather than as the Title!

>>>Digital financial services and commercial bank money have become more accessible over time, and increasing numbers of Americans have opened and maintain bank accounts.6 Nonetheless, more than 7 million—or over 5 percent of U.S. households—remain unbanked.

This doesn't surprise me, I know there is a great deal of belt tightening going on which is affecting subscriber rates, but I feel there is something more to Netflix's problems. I have recently found choosing what to watch on Netflix has become almost a chore and I more often than not end up jumping on to Youtube after spending 5 minutes scrolling through Netflix titles to no avail.

I think there is plenty of opportunity for Netflix to turn things around and increase profits, especially if they go the way of Theaters and begin running advertisements before streams.(Something that would annoy people I know but a small inconvenience with a huge upside)
