I really have no idea how we can define most of this esp using the framework of previously established law but I do think that a definition of Dark Patterns could be tangentially worked into the psychological make-up of gambling.

Not sure how things work on the backend but we're missing "alcohol" or "vodka" in the headline on HN, as it is on the page.

I'm an anti-imperialist so I do appreciate America's efforts to paint the international stage with it's brains. Not sure if what comes next will be better but I'm optimistic.

The Doomsday Clock really strains credulity; I'd love to see a case for how we're closer to (as defined in this article) total nuclear annihilation or even a limited exchange than we were at any point in the cold war. The case is not convincingly made by any of the subjects in the article.

Nuclear proliferation is still something to be taken with deadly seriousness but the Bulletin of Atomic Sciences needs to cut the hyperbole and present their case more convincingly.

Lived in SE Asia fora few years and my understanding is that tan skin = outdoor labor = lower caste.

My spouse is asian and I'm N Euro - I would kill to have skin that just tans no matter how much sun you get. I think I've seen her get burns twice in over a decade and we do a lot of beach time.
