- RivieraKid 14y agoNo, but I also don't expect 4 links on Hacker News about a bombing that killed 3 people.
- pvaldes 14y ago... And none about chemical weapon's first use in Siria "yesterday" with a lot of innocent people running with burned flesh in the streets, yes I can understand what you are trying to say. Sad times.
- darkarmani 14y agoYou do understand that HN is hosted in the US, right? If HN was hosted in Syria, it would most likely cover that.
- pvaldes 14y agoYes I do. I'm understand also, as you should, that this is an international community of people. There is, probably, a lot of brilliant minds here from many coins of this small floating rock, so it is expected that we could talk freely about universal problems and achieve much more than just a local and restricted point of view (and maybe to talk about possible ways to avoid this tragedies again and again).
- darkarmani 14y agoWhy wouldn't you? HN is hosted in the US. It's going to have US news occasionally. The bombing only killed 3 people because of all of the first responders. It could have easily been in the double-digits. There are 150 people injured by the blasts.
