We have made the conscious choice not to continue paying for accreditation from the Better Business Bureau (BBB). We realize that this may raise questions among our customers, and we want to explain why we made this decision. For years, people have been told to look for BBB accredited businesses, and that it somehow reflects whether a business is on the up and up.

news.ycombinator.com Keith Gessen 2025-08-04 02:16:07

In December, 1988, as the Soviet Union was beginning to come apart, Senator Bill Bradley, a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, convened a closed-door hearing with several of the C.I.A.’s top Soviet experts. These were analysts, not operatives. They did not run spies or weapons, or shoot poisoned darts at people; mostly, they sat at their desks at Langley, reading Pravda or studying photographs of Soviet military parades. The hearing found them in a melancholy mood, pondering

news.ycombinator.com Christopher Ingraham 2025-08-04 09:57:11

A pre-K teacher in Oklahoma is making news this week after forcing a left-handed 4-year-old boy to write with his right hand. The boy was sent home from school with an article discussing left- and right-handedness. The article mentions historic attitudes toward left-handedness that associate it with evil and the devil. It's written carelessly enough that it isn't clear whether the writer believes left-handedness is still seen as evil or whether that was only the case in the past. Regardless, it
