So it's not available, then. 1080p isn't even close to on par with 4k HDR, not sure why you bothered mentioning them.

> The average person is simply unable to evaluate competence, especially from news clips and "debates". The median voter is not a highly competitive white collar knowledge worker with a background in STEM necessary to evaluate complex topics with objectivity. Instead its the fry cook, the retail worker, the warehouse stocker, blue collar tradesman, liberal arts graduate, etc.

This reads like parody.

So you're incentivizing being racist on the internet to make it harder to fire somebody.

Not even a little bit...

> Search HN threads on the topic, read people who agree and people who disagree then make your own opinion

I honestly cant tell if this is parody or not.

Well, if I was black I'd probably like to know if my psychiatrist associated with HBD cranks. Or if I was a woman, I'd want to know if my psychiatrist wrote apologia for incels. And that's just two examples of the countless absurd hot takes hes had over the years.

Siskind dug his own grave here, and the NYT has done his patients a huge service.

Shorting serves a valuable purpose. It removes capital from the hands of people stupid enough to believe fraudsters, and reallocates it to people who dont. The whole purpose of markets is to facilitate the efficient allocation of capital, and shorting is clearly an important part of that.

> 5) [It's a wild west...] Respectfully, this is an unkind or perhaps bigoted statement. I have many friends in crypto who are thoughtful, kind people. They think deeply about the ethical implications of the systems we're building. The same is true of many leaders in the space.

Its undeniable that the proportion of criminals among cryptocurrency enthusiasts is far higher than in the population at large. I don't see how its unkind or bigoted to point that out.

> Why they felt the need to ban discusions of marxism or a general strike is beyond me.

Because it was built to be a fascist recruitment channel, and the talk of 'free speech' is just a smoke screen that they don't care about at all.

> That leads me to the question: can anyone here recommend a good Indian author from the same era as Kipling? (Yes I know Kipling was born in India).

While not a direct answer to your question, I think The Location of Culture by Homi Bhabha is relevant in the sense that it addresses why your question is difficult (perhaps impossible) to answer.

What a terrible look for Datacamp.

It's hard to imagine a more boring place than a city full of only techies.

Economics doesn't have anything to do with these.

- Eat Right - actually cheaper than eating unhealthy

- Exercise Often - possible to do free

- Groom regularly - very cheap, the cost of a haircut every couple of months

- Develop a personality - free

- Cultivate relationships - free

Heartily disagree. If you have time to play video games and endlessly post on reddit, then you have time to get in shape and take a shower. Willpower's even easier barring mental illness (in which case they should see a doctor, not whine about women on the internet).
