You are going to have to define slave labor... is someone working 12h days for minimum wage considered a slave? I would say yes.

Net neutrality is good, but so far it hasn't fucked with us so I don't know what you are saying... What really messed up the internet/world is the centralization... Google, Facebook, etc... which allows them to control speech on a major scale.

You should try walmart.com for ordering... they stepped up their game... it's not uncommon for them to do 3 deliveries for a $35 order with free shipping to get you the stuff as fast as possible... Most of the time I wish they would combine items to avoid the waste but that's what they do.

The number of incident per brand doesn't matter if you don't take into account how many cars they have on the road...
And Tesla could probably tell you how many crash per driving hour among other things

Re:Fairphone launches eco-friendly phone subscription program you'll want

I don't think so... I bought my phone used from https://swappa.com/ for $74 a year ago, so even if it would break right now it would still be a lot cheaper... It's a Pixel 3 ... wish it had a MicroSD card slot, but besides that it works perfectly fine. I installed LineageOS on it without Google services.

Re:Show HN: The Coinbase FOMO Calculator
on Tuesday June 14, 2022 @01:37PM (#31743024)
That's the main reason why I moved away from Coinbase years ago... no problem with Kraken so far. Every time the market moves fast they don't allow you to trade for a long time and they don't give you a reason... unlike the stock market (they frequently halt trading on specific stocks but at least they tell you why).
Re:Ask HN: Are you allowed to use HN as a comment section for a blog?
on Tuesday June 14, 2022 @01:33PM (#31742957)
One of the rules here: "Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff occasionally, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity."
Not that I agree with it, but I think it would fall under that. And all your post will end up "dead" automatically when they flag you as a self-promotion user.

Ideally you would have a platform where you could enable or disable filters for spam, hate speech, etc (independently)... to make sure that they don't filter out stuff that you want to see.
Privacy is a completely different topic though...
