So it's not available, then. 1080p isn't even close to on par with 4k HDR, not sure why you bothered mentioning them.


See my other comment. The remastered 4K UHD / HDR Arrow release is definitely available if you wanted to get it: http://rarbg.to/torrents.php?imdb=tt0060315

From my experience due to DHT there are actually more seeders than listed on the site. I didn't have any trouble getting even quite obscure films.


Maybe because quality doesn't matter to me as much?

And, movies this old in 4k HDR, that's a thing? I can understand the 4k part, that at least can be done by scanning the original film at a higher resolution, but HDR? Doesn't it need to be shot in HDR to begin with?


> The average person is simply unable to evaluate competence, especially from news clips and "debates". The median voter is not a highly competitive white collar knowledge worker with a background in STEM necessary to evaluate complex topics with objectivity. Instead its the fry cook, the retail worker, the warehouse stocker, blue collar tradesman, liberal arts graduate, etc.

This reads like parody.


So you're incentivizing being racist on the internet to make it harder to fire somebody.


This is silly. A twitter storm is a pretty well defined, public event. Do you seriously think it would be common to post racist stuff on the internet, and then organise a permanent campaign against yourself, in order to become un-fireable for causes that are work related? A company that wants to fire you for your poor performance can do so, and if you sue them it's not going to be hard for them to prove they have a legitimate cause which has nothing to do with your self-organised mobbing campaigns.


Not even a little bit...


> Search HN threads on the topic, read people who agree and people who disagree then make your own opinion

I honestly cant tell if this is parody or not.


Why would that be a parody?

I can't see how it's a bad idea to get some quick signals on how a community approaches a topic.


Well, if I was black I'd probably like to know if my psychiatrist associated with HBD cranks. Or if I was a woman, I'd want to know if my psychiatrist wrote apologia for incels. And that's just two examples of the countless absurd hot takes hes had over the years.

Siskind dug his own grave here, and the NYT has done his patients a huge service.


Shorting serves a valuable purpose. It removes capital from the hands of people stupid enough to believe fraudsters, and reallocates it to people who dont. The whole purpose of markets is to facilitate the efficient allocation of capital, and shorting is clearly an important part of that.


> 5) [It's a wild west...] Respectfully, this is an unkind or perhaps bigoted statement. I have many friends in crypto who are thoughtful, kind people. They think deeply about the ethical implications of the systems we're building. The same is true of many leaders in the space.

Its undeniable that the proportion of criminals among cryptocurrency enthusiasts is far higher than in the population at large. I don't see how its unkind or bigoted to point that out.


> Why they felt the need to ban discusions of marxism or a general strike is beyond me.

Because it was built to be a fascist recruitment channel, and the talk of 'free speech' is just a smoke screen that they don't care about at all.


Sure, but anyone who talks about that there is a punching bag. It's all awful people. They don't need to do that work, the users do it for them.


> That leads me to the question: can anyone here recommend a good Indian author from the same era as Kipling? (Yes I know Kipling was born in India).

While not a direct answer to your question, I think The Location of Culture by Homi Bhabha is relevant in the sense that it addresses why your question is difficult (perhaps impossible) to answer.


Thanks, I’ll add that to my to-read list.

I suppose rather than asking for a “good” author (subjective, for example I’ve met an Oxbridge English Literature graduate who thought Shakespeare was overrated), I should have asked for a “famous” author from the same era.

The sort of author whose works a current-day Indian politician would have on their shelves, or perhaps quote from, to signal how cultured they are — in the same sort of way UK PM Johnson tried to show how cultured he was by quoting Kipling.
