- jbmorgado 10y agoWhy is a totally quantitative comment that is relevant to the discussion being downvoted? Can't see any HN posting rules that this violates. On the contrary I can very well see its major interest to the discussion at hand.
- jdimov10 10y agoOn HN you never know why you're downvoted. 9 times out of 10 it's because some wanker woke up cranky due to lack of sex ;) Don't look for deeper reason.
- somenomadicguy 10y agoWatch the news today. Erdogan stated yesterday that he would be announcing a huge new process that will stabilize the markets. We think that it will be the announcement of a secret parliamentary vote to give him the Presidential powers he desires.
- dopamean 10y agoIt's stuff like this that I think of when people, often speaking out of emotion, liken the United States government to an authoritarian regime.
