No, it wasn't meant to, it was to refute your claim that no one was talking about it.

I think this sums it up best. Airports charge more for food because, well, they can. Travelers or a captive market, and have no other choice. I'm old enough to remember when people thought you couldn't bring food through security.

He gave up chess because he couldn't make grandmaster. The original book written with his father, "searching for Bobby Fischer" is much better I think. It's not the same as the movie, which is mostly imaginary.

..flummoxed?? Strange choice of a word. I was delighted when my son took up, chess when he was seven years old. I think chess should be something that is taught in school, alongside music, art, and history.

Foreign countries learned the same thing decades ago. The best placed spy is sometimes no match for the U.S. media, especially in this day of must-get-clicks. Like when Tim Weiner wrote an article for the NYT exposing a CIA asset because he

As far as American University's are concerned, this article missed one incredibly major point: international students pay more. A lot of American universities are scrambling for every international student they can get because they pay

This reminds me of a similar incident with the Apple App Store, there were so many negative reviews that rather than Apple forcing the developer to fix the issue, they just deleted all the negative reviews. I agree with the author, this mak

I think this is more of a "see I told you so" type of response from people. HN Loves to bury opinions they don't like, whether it's right or wrong. More than anything there's always a sense of everyone trying to one

I used to spend a bit of time on r/StLouis and it was the same. The problem with subredits is the same all over the site: They are run by humans with their own built in beliefs, biases, and grudges. Truth matters not what a mod believe

I don't know if Snowden was a Russian operation, I don't think the facts are there for that. However, I do think Snowden committed treason by doing what he did, and so did this National Guardsman. It doesn't matter the reason

A business can only suffer so much loss in theft before it has to throw in the towel. They're a business, not a community food bank, even though a lot of people in those communities see it as just that. There's also just an anti c

The key is that they were selling in State. If John Deere were to pull out of the state they could advertise all they want, and people could still purchase the tractors from out of state, but they wouldn't have to follow that, lol. I a

Wonderful progress but.... It says for enforcement that "failure to comply with the law would result in a charge of deceptive trade practices" should the company not provide farmers with "parts, software, firmware, tools and

This is just more NIMBYism. Front yard signs that everyone is welcome but then flip out when immigrants arrive. People proclaiming they care for the poor, the homeless, yet become enraged if you dare to put a shelter within half a mile of t

This is great information and everything, but it seems like you're deflecting. Your smartphone was still made by child labor.

Congress gives the corporation for public broadcasting about $300 million a year. National public radio gets about 45% of their funding through appropriations, the rest comes from donations. The real issue is that they don't pay anythi

Past examples for me. College bribery scandal, Jusse Smollet, are two notable examples recently. The wealthy have the best lawyers who have connections to the judges, clerks, and everyone else in those courts. Indeed it is the wealthy that

True but it does lean heavily in one political direction. If it is receiving any federal funding then it should be pushed to neutrality, and remove the one-sidedness of their news programing. I think NPR would be very upset if the governmen

I am viewing Twitter more than before because I am attracted to the open speech where political banning is no longer occurring. I do not know all who have been blocked under Musk but it feels more open.

San Francisco feels like NYC in the 80s. I think what it needs is a heavier, consistent police presence. There is a lawlessness that demands a heavy hand, but which must be supported because its at a point where that hand is needed.

I never thought it would happen. I thought surely she would be deemed too pretty, too smart, or something, and not go to jail. I do not believe she thinks she did anything wrong
