I always forget that we're not quite the normal crowd here in Hacker News. I think I need to stop reading so many comments on this site. Trying to convince me that I'm a sociopath for posting my grandma's obituary on my timeline.
> Posting it to social media, then thinking if whoever doesn’t contact you to… what? “Sorry for your loss”? “My condolences” … hurts your relationship with that person?
That's not what anyone said, you're out here fighting ghosts.
> And if someone doesn't reach out, it will hurt the relationship a little even if I'm not conscience of it because when I think of people who were there for me during a tough time, the friend who never knew my parent died wouldn't come to mind.
No, it's not. It's more like an online bookstore mailing you a copy of a book for free. The only catch is that they also sent a book full of ads and directions that say: after every page of the book, look at an ad. Then, when I receive these, I don't even take the ad book out of the package, read the actual book, and send them both back.
You can imagine why Amazon never decided to go with this business model.

This group is further split into two kinds of people: Those who had an opportunity to take advantage of the massive financialization of the world, and those who weren't afforded that opportunity.

You say this as if it's a fact, but with an extra 1-3 hours of my day freed up, it's a lot easier to get into the gym or visit my friends and family. Personally, I was more active and less isolated when I worked from home.
In my experience (American), the top 1-4 results are ads/sponsored links. Sometimes, very relevant to the search. Most of the time, not what I'm looking for.
I only use google search on my phone because I have a pixel, and the google searchbar is so well integrated into the launcher. If I don't like the results, I can just open a new tab and the default search is DuckDuckGo. Besides the ads, I'd say the searches are usually the same quality.
Completely agree with you on all of it, but, to let you know, sometimes there are school-wide policies on plagiarism that teachers have to follow. My highschool made teachers give an automatic 0 for any plagiarism.
Decent idea but it will be circumvented with ai powered watermark removers. They already exist and will only get better as ai image generation gets better.
That link states that they only have two data points tied to an account: time of account creation and time of last connection. Since phone numbers are used as the account identifier, law enforcement would need to supply the phone number for signal to look up the account, right?
Do you have any source for Signal supplying IP logs?
I believe they mean similar to the fonts when you're learning the alphabet, not when you're learning to read. Like those books where you trace "A" ten times then "a" 10 times then "B" and so on.
