I wonder how @newsycombinator is moderated. I just saw two stories about Apple's credit card disappear. 5 minutes ago they were in the top 10, now they are both gone. (you can still read the comments if you have the link or search directly, they are just not listed anymore).

@Uber @Uber_Support Oh and I forgot the best part. Uber did NOT notify us that our accounts were getting suspended. I only found out when I tried to book a ride to go home after a 23 hours flight.

@Uber @Uber_Support This is a clear example of why Uber and similar services need more regulations. A taxi driver cannot refuse you service, but Uber is free to ban you for literally no reason? Let me repeat, I got banned despite doing NOTHING wrong. I'll be speaking about @Uber with my local MP.

@Uber That's right, I got my PERSONAL account banned because YEARS ago I booked ONE ride using our BUSINESS account for a company event. @Uber_Support has been useless so far, they say their team is looking into it but no updates in almost 2 weeks.

I honestly don't understand why we have had nearly ten years of pretending that the Adani Carmichael mine is viable. Here's some really simple maths explaining why it just doesn't stand up financially: 1. Plan is for a 10m ton per year mine, rising to 20mtpa

Elon Musk: *Is CEO of SpaceX, Tesla* People: "Elon made electric cars! Elon's taking us to Mars! Elon, Elon, Elon!" Katie Bouman: *Invents an algorithm to see black holes, leads the team that executes it* People: "hold up I mean it was a team effort, why does she get the praise?"

Scott Morrison, Angus Taylor and the Liberals are starting to roll out a truly desperate campaign against electric cars using the dankest memes imaginable. Anyway, here's a thread of all the times Liberals & Nats used electric cars for a photo op. 👇👇👇
