Well, "The Biggest Rock" back when Onion talks were funny: https://youtu.be/aO0TUI9r-So


https://www.tvbgone.com meant as a prank. And I love using it almost anywhere.


I miss when cell phones had built in IR and you could do this with an app.


That looks like an excellent way to get lynched.


Yes. It would be pretty cool if we could include a blocked-site list saying "please exclude these sites from my search results."

There is a workaround to blacklist certain results using an extension in conjunction with a script for it.


Woot! Super cool. Thank you. That like also refers to https://github.com/iorate/uBlacklist. Will check them out.


Reminds me of "A Beautiful Mess" by Jason Mraz (video): https://youtu.be/ECFFNKELnIU


Does "moderation" require bias? For that matter, can knowledge exist without bias?


> Does "moderation" require bias?

Objectively yes. Information on correctly peeling a pineapple is ok? Processing chicken to cook it? What about a dog? A rat? Fish? Insects? Is killing millions of bacteria with a single drop of chemical okay? Ways to commit suicide? What if this video is for prevention?

When it comes to moderation, we can't even set a consistent rule set to "deal with it all (c)". We just wing it, and hope it matches the expectations of our majority of our users... and the government(s)! Yeah governments have rules, but they tend to change towards the expectations, and a lot of rules for interpretation. It's a very hard task.

> For that matter, can knowledge exist without bias?

Umm... I don't know what that would mean. Isn't science there to reduce the amount of bias in knowledge? So, maybe, no? We can hope to reduce it, but we cannot get rid of it? At this point I don't really know what I'm talking about to be honest :)


Ask HN: anyone know how to buy bird seed not full of weed seeds: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/03/200320132239.h... ?


Hmm. Do you mean to imply an external Dorian Gray effect may happen: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Picture_of_Dorian_Gray? Wonder if there would be any other biological intra-cellular or inter-cellular Dorian Gray effects that may happen? Or, if this may really be a new free lunch.


Is there a link not behind a paywall?

I know there's a similar site that uses Google's archive, but I can't remember the url



I love my Mephisto shoes. Originally bought them in 92 and one resole later am still wearing them most every day.
