I would think it is a very good indicator of the government ramping up the pressure.

No better way to get people out in the streets then forcing them to get off their screens.

Nice, ~charts_and_numbers raising the preferable Bar (Bar Chart)

I will have to up my game over at ~news

It is a new feature the SN team added. #1403674

You just keep typing in the territory box.

Trump did not provide details on how such a ban would be implemented. Trump said he plans to outline additional housing and affordability proposals during a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos in two weeks. Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio said Wednesday he will introduce a bill to make it harder for larger investors to buy single family homes.

Now they will need to create a national registry to be able to determine who is and who is a not a "Large Investor"

This dynamic, between how tech companies imagine their product will function in the real world and how it actually works once users get their hands on it, is nothing new. Some amount of policy violating or illegal content is going to slip through the cracks on any social media platform, no matter how good its moderation is.

They just need an separate AI to monitor the first AI.

Thank you for flushing this out, so the rest of us don't have to.

What movie is this? Smokey and the Bandit? or Hunt for Red October?

Funny you mention Hunt for Red October because this scene came to mind for me when I ready the news story.

Interesting Site.

I put your post through https://www.logicalfallacies.org/fallacy-detector/

and it says "No logical fallacies found in the text."

So I will believe you :)

I see know, I didn't check historical Meme Monday.

Could post it in ~Memes

Interesting data point:

The bigger picture is just as important as the headline numbers. Long-term analyses of global wave records show that about one third of the world ocean has experienced clear upward trends in mean and extreme wave heights since the 1980s, especially across the Southern Ocean, where winter waves have been rising by roughly one to two centimeters per year. In that belt, average wave heights increased by about 30 centimeters between 1985 and 2018, and overall wave power has climbed around eight percent since the 1980s.

I wonder what kind of KYC one has to do to clam the money.

Seems like a great way to get put on a list of people who would protest.

However, my skepticism lies in the signal-to-noise ratio.

This reminds me of another reason. In your Settings there is a "filter by sats" parameter which lets you set a value a post has to reach for you to see the post.

This allows one to filter out a lot of "Spam" and only get shown something truly valuable (a post people have spent their hard earn sats on).

This feature I think will become one of the killer features of Stacker News as we have more traffic on the site in the future. You can not really do this will Likes or Thumbs Ups as they are free and users will just give them out to any silly thing.
