User @shusaku refers to MDPI as a "garbage journal". If true, this info should play a bigger part in the discussion here than it currently is

That's such a nihilistic false equivalence. Get a subscription to The Economist - their business model disincentivizes manipulation

Wait, was your combo shot one of each? or two of each? I've been curious to learn more about getting both (already had two Pfizer) but resources on the matter are hard to find

This may sound unhelpful, but if you have good enough organic growth somebody may post it in the subreddit (and many other places) without your prompting

Most likely, if you're posting on HN, you're probably at least OK at critical thinking

This inspired me to research and download Brave Browser. Thanks Streisand Effect! So nice to have a browser that doesn't feel like bloatware

Super interesting, thanks for posting

No, you'd end up with Fruity Loops

I think this is a joke? Hopefully?

Can confirm it does

Well...Linux plus rootkit preventing you from doing what you want on a device you've paid for

God, I hope so. I've been meaning to try the PinePhone and maybe others at some point

Jesus, I had no idea. Remind me to never, ever switch to Android

To the geniuses protesting this: they're combating an invasive species. How's that for un-natural?

I've never ever heard of this happening. I feel like there's almost no chance this isn't just bluster

Not nearly as nice as The Hunt For Red October makes it out to be

In light of this DMCA, this seems like a site that needs to exist...but I don't know of one? Seems like as trivial a build as anything cryptographic actually

Ok, so who's building a distributed, cryptographic, uncensorable version of GitHub?

You can download the most recent version of the YouTube-DL code from Wayback Machine here: https://web.archive.org/web/20201018144703/https://github.co...

Fuck the RIAA

Why wouldn't it be? Does this claim have any substance?

The Google Belt and Road Initiative

This article projects too linearly to the future: terraforming Mars, for instance, would probably be easier right now than getting people to Titan quickly. Seems like an article written for the purpose of getting clicks by being contrarian, not seriously investigating the science

Or, if you actually know how to use the Unix command line in non-trivial ways, you can just use pip.

Delightful. Add in some snazzy animations and it'll be downright addicting

Part of the problem when phones are inherently locked down. If you can't run the software you want on a device you've purchased, it's not really your device.

Caution: creative destruction at work. You can choose to take advantage of its benefits, or you can choose to fight it.

I pay for 4-5 newspapers (which is too much), but after the sh*tstorm of the past three years (Brexit, elections etc), I felt that it was worth the money.

This isn't a coincidence: to a large extent, the last few years haven't been THAT remarkable, but news outlets will inevitably cover things as if they're very remarkable, because that's what fuels subscriptions. See also: http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/hatethenews

Somebody has been watching too much Soylent Green and reading too much Marx

Elon Musk is far greater an inventor/entrepreneur than Edison ever was. If Elon accomplishes a fraction of what he's set out to in his life, history books from the year 2500 will relegate Edison to a footnote in the chapter about Musk.

This seems very fishy. Seemingly un-previously established website publishes study critical of Tesla. Gas auto and oil interests have been known to do this kind of thing before; wouldn't be surprised if this was the latest iteration.
