Digg is in the middle of some big “reboot” of the site, with Alex Onhanian on board. They’re in some invite-only preview for the last few months.

It took time to build up a reputation

It also took Digg ruining itself.

Nah, we hold him right here in the country and bankrupt him with civil suits from all the people he efficiently ruined. And the Fed Government will certainly have a slice of the with restoring regulatory actions against his companies and recouping contracts that were improperly granted.

Yep. Aunt Wu. People would live to her prophecies (“She said I’ll be wearing red shoes when I meet my true love so I always wear red shoes”). But they would also let it be an excuse to not work at something for themselves ('I’m wearing red shoes so my part is done").

Telling yourself these things often leads to taking action to verify the belief.

Some real Aunt Wu energy.

I mistook your original comment about the alarm clock. I wasn’t reading it as the clocks in all timezones being set to UTC and rather that you wanted to keep your daily routine aligned with the daily solar cycle of the time zone you left.

Sunrise at 06:00 UTC in one timezone would occur at 03:00 UTC three timezones over

Right, but I wouldn’t want to keep my daily routine aligned to a different time zone than where I am.

So if you’re travelling or even communicating across timezones, you haven’t fixed anything by using UTC since daily activities (sleep, meals, etc.) are still correlated to when the sun is up or not

Exactly. So why would I want to adjust my alarm to 3am after travelling 3 time zones? I only care about relating the time between two zones for real-time communication with people in the other zone. And I’m not getting up at 3am for them.

Why would you want to get up every day at 6 am from three time zones over?

I historically have just used profiles for this.

Really depends on what I’m trying to visualize. Things that are inherently graphical I’d probably put in a grid to fit more on the screen. Text probably a list.

Context matters here. There a plenty of communities where uploaded pics in posts is the norm and totally fine. Alt text should always be added in some way, but text-only as a general rule is just not practical.

Fainting goats actually evolved from the fainting couch, an evolutionary cousin to the chaise lounge.

Pineapple’s in northern Europe were a symbol of wealth and status. You could actually rent a pineapple for your dinner party to elevate your status. Pineapple theft was a notable crime. One thief was sentenced to 7 years in an Australian penal colony.

Minority Report basically has mesh biometric ID so you get personalized ads everywhere. And while they do rely on psychic precognition, they are essentially thought police.

Meh, there’s plenty worse violence daytime anime. I think if a parent is ok with Shaolin Soccer then Kung Fu Hustle is fine.
