wrong link?

You know, when I want to know country rankings of digital freedoms, the very first place i go to is eylenburg.github.io

What are their sources for their statistics? "Source: eylenburg.github.io"

Ah.


You can click each box in the matrix and see the source for the acts in question from each country. What kind of quantitative measure are you expecting?

Money number must go up.

But that did not previously entail shit level must go up.

I'd say that's just a function of money number having to go up. Since at some point you can't charge more for [thing], maybe there are other ways of making money off [thing]? Let's use a bit less plastic on it! Boom, saved on manufacturing AND shipping.

I think it wasn't previously.

And enshittification is rarely less plastic or anything, but more ads etc.


"President Lee's Oct 13 message encouraging people to live and call 109 was replying to news of declining suicide rates (largely from debt improvements), not the KOSPI drop on Oct 15."

Hard to believe that when trillions of dollars has been wiped out. Average Korean retail equity investors have been trading with leverage that would make WSB blush.

> Na Se-bin has lost all sense of the value of money. Since January, she has poured nearly all her life savings, roughly $47,000, into the stock market, lured by a global AI boom enriching tech powerhouses in South Korea, Taiwan and Japan. Riding wild market swings, the 24-year-old South Korean software developer said she has won and lost the equivalent of a month’s salary in the span of a second. Despite the risk, she can’t resist—not after seeing some of her holdings double in price. Over the past 18 months, South Korea has been the world’s top-performing stock market, and Na and her co-workers joke they should sell their underwear to buy more shares. “Even friends who have never touched stocks are getting into it,” Na said. “Everyone’s doing something.”


every accusation, confession, etc.

Does this apply to subscriptions handled only by companies doing business in New York state?

Otherwise, NYT's just going to start their brand new subscription business, NYT Subscriptions LLC, just across the river in New Jersey.


Even ^ that ^ link goes directly to front page. i;m guessing they check HN referrer

IIRC with any link thru Messages, before sending, you can press and hold it and it'll give u the option to send just as a text link
