Wow. That's from crowd investment alone. The creator calls Silicon Valley full of liberal elites too.

I can't help but feel nervous, like Trumplites are coming for Tech and winning grassroots support.

I don't think there will be a general part once it gets splintered. It will probably be like China except every nation state will have their own version with their own censorship.

The open web started dying with the great firewall.

It seems hugely disingenuous to leave sept 11 from that.

That blew my mind too. I wish that article could be pinned to the top of hackernews forever.

Google will be sued for it. It will be too enticing for lawyers to pass up.

It'll be open season on Google now, and they deserve it if the blacklists and age blacklist is true.

Go for it but if you're burning down innocents in your mad dash to stop nazis.

Don't expect sympathy.

He didn't say much about the resistance gunman who attacked the gop senators or the shooter who shot a republican in the head a few days prior to Charlottesville.

Emotions are running too hot.

I was half expecting a point on nearly half of all women are on something like Xanax.

Sure but I think they should also be taught practical things as well like driving, taxes, light house maintenance, and other skills most of need for everyday life over abstract math and social science.

I'm a big fan of the Japanese model.

Or censorship will lead them to violence.

This is dangerous. The unequal treatment of protected classes and censorious nature of this is bad.

I can see the governments of the world regulating Google hard if they go forward with this, and honestly they will deserve it.

Wow! How long did it take ? I keep trying and failing because of candy and stress eating.

I read they don't eat a lot and when they do its fermented.

Some scientific studies on soy prep and pseudo estrogen effects would be fascinating.

I hope so. If we can make meat or something really similar without killing animals, I would consider this a huge win for lessening the misery of the universe.

cyanexttuesday — Sun, 13 Aug 2017 00:12:29 +0000

It's going to be more expensive than cable since you have to Internet(many of which providers are monopolies in the us) and pay 10 usd a month per various premium channel access.

Unless people just stop consuming media, and regain financial leverage.

Google is seemingly more and more a regular almost evil corporation.

I miss the days of "don't be evil".

After their no platforming last year, do they still have any credibility left ?

The nasty reveal of hidden politics on the right and the left in gaming the system was a rude wake up call to me.

I find Amazon best sellers list give me better recommendations than nonsense like Hugo's Chuck Tingle.

Pretty interesting how fake sugar and carbs are worse then fake sugar alone.

I'm interested in keto diets and they use a lot of fake sugar in their dessert fat bombs which apparently may be better than fake sugar and carbs.
