I remember reading about Birkenstock having the same issue at a much larger scale.

Infinite scroll on a desktop is potentially a bad idea.

Infinite scroll on a mobile device makes perfect sense.

There seems to be a very loose definition of dictatorship going on here.

`Dictator`

a ruler with total power over a country, typically one who has obtained power by force.

Singapore isn't a single-party state. There are other political parties that take part in the elections. Singapore's government is made up of members from mostly one party because the people voted them in. Let me repeat the last part: the citizens of Singapore voted the party in on their own accord. That's not a dictatorship. No one pointed a gun at my head and told me to vote for the incumbent party.

And as for your point about political dissidents, while that is true and is an important part of the history, it doesn't really happen now. What normally happens is that someone says something stupid that borders on libel and defamation and he gets sued. Is is heavy handed? Probably. Were they breaking the law? Yes. Is this a sign of dictatorship? On it's own, no.

There is heavy censorship, there is the death penalty, I believe Singapore still sell land mines, homosexuality is against the law. There are many flaws about Singapore but to call the state a dictatorship is putting the wrong label on the country.

When you say `Dictatorship`, I think North Korea, Iran. There is no way in the world Singapore even comes close to being a North Korea or an Iran.

Dictator? I don't think you know what that word means. Maybe you should come visit and see exactly how off the mark your comments are.

Woohoo Singapore represent! Ok serious question though: is he the only world leader that can code?

Thanks for writing this. It spoke so much truth I feel like I could have been the one writing this.

Get a hobby.

Isn't this kinda moot if you're using any services that is domiciled in the States?

1) Well I started learning when I was 28. Self employed as a web dev now

2) Frontend dev that knows Javascript

3) Javascript. Regardless of whatever serverside stack you decide to further pursue, every one of them still has to interact with js. Choose Python while you're at it.

I'm finding it hard to understand what you're saying because this is one big blob of text. Can you format it with paragraphs and bullet points?

Surely the question on everyone's mind is: how good is incognito mode???

As a Singaporean who reads HN almost everyday for the last couple of years, I can't say I've seen Singapore related topics pop up so often.

I had a feeling this particular issue might come up though.
