They are certainly selling substandard cars with this rethink.

I don't like copyright, but if you are an artist that the AI mimics too closely you might have some recourse.

I believe it is not the responsibility of the government to police what your child is doing.

Seem like one of those dictator megaprojects that rarely go well and is just a source of corruption.

The only news you should be paying attention to is local news. But the internet has destroyed that. Now we just have hateful news.

The thing is. Most Windows users don't care. You are not MS target customer.

Insane American car culture. I prefer European cities by a long way.

I don't think you have noticed. But politics has devolved into being anti-woke rather than making adult policy decisions.

* Note that your stats are probably made up, but even considering your numbers.

> The US has 20 times the per capita death rate from drug overdoses than Bangladesh.

More people are rich enough to buy hard drugs in the US.

> It has 30 times the opioid addiction rate of Singapore.

Singapore is a city not a country.

> We have been liberalizing our drug policies for the last 20 years

No you haven't. You can still go to jail for weed in many states in the USA.

> . In that time, the number of annual drug overdose deaths has increased by a factor of five.

Driven by the over-prescription of opioids by pharmaceutical companies like Purdue.

> I used to agree with you a decade ago about drug policies. But the math clearly has proven me wrong.

So murdering a random drug mule is the correct solution.

No. The opioid crisis is completely manufactured in the USA by US drug companies such as Purdue Pharma. China is just profiting off it. Your xenophobic conspiracy theory is laughable.

> I never heard of anything like that growing up.

This happened all the time, you just never heard of it when you were growing up. China and Bangladesh are doing nothing other than murdering a random drug mule. Corruption allows drugs to flow in and out of especially China really easily. The reason why Cartels are so powerful is exactly because of the war on drugs. The industry is highly profitable and because it is illegal it is driven only into the hands of criminals.

The only solution is liberal policies that allow people to seek treatment or at least give them access to safer drugs.

Lots of anti-South African bias on HN. Few of these statements are correct or have any basis in fact. We are not doing great, but doing as bad as the comments suggest.

This is utter rubbish. I live in South Africa.

If sex workers where allowed to control their own destiny then the exploitation would decrease. Here you have their payment system shut down, now a woman has to get her money via cash which requires protection. You also have websites that allowed sex workers to vet customers shut down because of fake child porn concerns by conservatives (ironically a big user base of sex work).

I love how many of the statements made in this comment are made as statements of fact, when it is just pure fantasy.

Yes, if the worker was on maternity leave when laid off. What I have noticed about American culture, despite having money they are extreme penny pitches in the oddest of places.

Musk is paying 40 billion for this publicity.

I still don't understand how a trans-parent makes a child at "risk" of getting hormones. Republicans have taken a Twitter issue and made it their only platform. I wonder how much traction a hate campaign will get you in an election. Going by the mid-terms, not that much.

What? It is insane for a person to have to pay for TB treatment. We have a huge TB burden here in South Africa. Treatment is free because we don't want it to spread. Unfortunately, because of the massive urbanization movement after Apartheid, the shanty towns makes the spread quite easy.

While Americans panic. I think this is the dumbest way to do surveillance. Especially when China already has TicTok doing a great job.

Where, how, when does Google say there are more that two genders? By the way gender is a spectrum. A narrow spectrum where two genders describes most of the spectrum. But you get exceptions. Maybe being narrow minded is not the way. Expand yourself.

Not every opinion is worth your time.

You are too ingrained in the internet news. If you just turn off your news and actually look at things that directly affect you, you will find out that it is pretty great for Americans right now.

Yeah, but it is their response to the problem that is problematic.

I learnt how to code at 40. Its not you getting old. Its just you burnt out.

A lot of fantasy in this thread. No wonder ridiculous stories about "gain of function covid" is so popular on this website. Biology is a lot more complicated than you can ever imagine. A grad student will not make a species ending virus because organisms have been exposed to them since the dawn of time.

Or.. Remote work will change how we use cities.

Nah. It will become living spaces rather than office spaces. Especially for people who love the density of city living.

More accurately. What was the political speech banned?

Oh please. Link to where Twitter banned someone for being right wing. Hate speech doesn't count.
