If people want to advocate that overpopulation isn't a problem, they should live in dhaka or other densely packed poor areas. Anyone living in developed countries have no idea how it is to live there.

US population density = under 100 per mile^2

SF population density = 18k per mile^2

Major cities in Bangladesh, India, Phillipines have well over 50k/ml^2

Those countries also have nation wide population density of over 500/ml^2 at least.

Most people there can't buy an electric vehicle any time soon. They don't have tall buildings or functional transportation. They don't have enough jobs. The pollution levels are worse. Their countries have more corruption and less rights for everyone. They don't have enough drinking water or land for agriculture geographically.

Overpopulation makes solving all the problems harder.

What do men get out of catfishing other men?

It's mind blowing the number of people who are defending apple everywhere by making any excuse they can. Some of them have comments implying otherwise if you check their history but apple gets a leeway. Is there some kind of cognitive dissonance?

Why are people so attached to a greedy corp worth 2 trillion whose entire business rely on child and exploitative labour, has avoided billions in taxes, has been bullying others legally, don't want you to own anything or repair (climate?), etc?

People who have overused whataboutism as a logical fallacy to stop an argument are doing the same today themselves.

spoiled consumer.

I am not saying they shouldn't ban accounts or allow free speechers. But I don't buy they should be allowed to do whatever they want because they are private company. If the past hack resulted in market manipulation or a bigger shit show, should twitter be liable for that?

Stop government officials from making policies on twitter and we will consider twitter private company. Still, no one thinks there should be additional regulation on something like twitter? The past account hack just made me think it should be scrutinized more.

> It's just hard for me to take a any positive feedback from a person I pay to listen to the said feedback.

If someone is crying, you are getting emotional feedback from that person that they need help. They could cry for any number of reasons but the feedback they provide you by crying remains the same until you discuss it more. Paid feedback or not - outsiders will provide you similar feedback that will be relevant to you because they are able to empathize (that is if you are honest).

But I get you. if you think of paid feedback as fake reviews on playstore, you will get discouraged. It's hard to give a fake plausible review and it's quick to spot for human interaction though.

Wait I referenced the wrong one but you replied to the correct one already. Yeah I don't think duration alone is enough as mentioned in the other comment.

I believe in planned euthanasia. If I am getting crunky and old, there is a point where I would consider a peaceful death and celebrate it myself. I will have chance to say goodbye. Similarly, a depressed person after trying reasonable number of methods and spending enough effort, should be able to consider it as an option. Not everyone will end up hopeful and that's fine. We shouldn't try to pressure or shame that. Currently, too many people end up ruining their life through failed attempts. Many end up dying who could have been saved if they had legal system and society that gave them an alternative option. Many are currently suffering with terminal illness or mental health problems that won't be fixed any time soon. All three categories will benefit from a legal euthanasia system.

There are people who live through the day thinking that they could end it all if things go too wrong. It can stem from unhealthy environment but it might not always be that way. These people are ready to get help if they have a choice in the matter.

> Another way to read your response could be "It'll take too long and it's too hard, too expensive, to help poor people out of their pain. We should instead let them put themselves out of their misery"

No. We should never stop trying to help people but if the help is causing suffering to others. It should not be done beyond a reasonable duration. What that reasonable duration is - I don't know. 2 years? 5 years? A decade? All are valid answers. It is highly contextual.

Regardless of that, having legal euthansia is better than not having it at all.

The problem is he jumped. He didn't have access to health professionals who will assess him before he could die. He wouldn't have jumped if he knew he could die in a more peaceful and controlled manner without shame. An euthanasia facility would have given him a second chance if it was properly maintained. They don't let you kill as you pass the door. They will make you wait, have you try things to help you before you could sign off the paper to die.

I don't see why it should be illegal. it's like being against addiction control centres.

Euthanasia can be restricted. No need to make it illegal and places where it is legal have measures in place to stop this.

The thing is why does everyone seem to forget here that some people don't have money, resources, family, environment or location to get access to many things that could help. Poor people surely will get happy if they get money, right? Surely therapy without a single worry in life will help them, right?

Do you tell others to think about how happy you could be in a few years when they are sad? No, you don't.

Do you encourage systematically poor people to suck it up because things will get better?

Same mentality is used to justify racial injustices and inequality. Things will get better in future so suck it up for the movement. These people are in pain and should be able to stop it if they see it not worth it. Obviously there can be some time period such as a year or two before you can access euthanasia. Otherwise, it's cruel to let people suffer for years in false hopes.

Your and people's inconsistent and sweeping generalizations about people who want to die seems pretty irrational and illogical to me.

Some people are hurt by women's right to abortion. Are you against abortion?

Some people are hurt by taxes or debt. Are you against society or debt?

Use mullvad + wireguard.

Try https://podman.io

If you are a parent - use https://nextdns.io AFTER having a conversation to filter porn. Why let government do it? Why not state funded child education and parenting centres if you can't even do this or educate yourself about it?

As an underage person, I would just run wireguard on the router with open wrt if I wanted to bypass filter.

Being brutally honest, if your kid is at high risk of porn addiction or is already addicted - you have failed miserably at parenting. You really want to look at other aspect to life to evaluate and fix the problem. Porn addiction is a result of some other problem in 95% cases.

We need to turn to propaganda. If you support tracking and insecure communication, think of your children who will get burnt by insurance companies having access to their data. Thousands of [company] employees will look at your nudes if you share it on there. They might look at your kid's photos that you don't want them to. The republicans and democrats (depending who they support, switch) will look at your kid's pictures. The FBI will look at it. The cops will have access to it and then will target your kids in future. Why are you ruining yours and my kids future?

are you OK with THAT? You support children harassment by cops?

Throw some biased media page calling big companies bad. Not a hard thing to do today or write an opinion piece on popular news journal site and reference it. Medium works too.

We also need to cancel people for supporting these platforms.

I don't understand why. People don't like master branch but they don't care about git which is literally a slang for an old senile idiot.

This is what happens when you make your country hyper profit driven.

It's evident by "who" make these movements trend and then de-trend them. Language now is controlled by a small minority group. It's always the rich white people that it's not funny anymore.

Sometimes I wonder if answer to all of these problems is to divide lands based on ideology, politics and other factors. People are then given a choice to migrate between them every 5 years or so.

Nations shouldn't be so big and migrating shouldn't be that hard. Just divide and divide until the group of people stop complaining.

Racists can live with racists. Progressives can live with progressives.

More money doesn't mean good web app though. Most big websites ironically google's doesn't follow their own accessibility, speed, UX, UI, inclusiveness etc guidelines they recommend for getting into search results.

They are also the biggest abuser of UA agent while chromium team is trying to get rid of it. There are so many things they get wrong that they preach or push themselves.

Also, there are technical limitations especially around tracking lol. Web apps can't run processes in the background or access your files without your consent everytime.

There are few if you look around.

If you wanna believe the man who said that.

Here's the actual tweet explaining it - https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/12664341539328942...

There is a difference. They tell you to quit your job usually, not harass your coworkers into becoming your loud speaker for the cause.

I actually love this trend. Overpopulation is a disease. Hopefully more countries follow this.

What minority category is this?

I am not surprised given hn is like the top 1% of the global population.

No one owns any property. They are rented property by the society and a functioning government.

As such, it's totally right to take and redistribute things that doesn't belong to rich people only.

A single visit to one of the apple's product landing page would cost - $5.

Doesn't seem too bad to me.

He means cross platform ui frameworks. Afaik, only flutter has support for most platforms. It supports web, desktop and mobile.
