And AGAIN. Trump has just demanded (and got) an apology from a Washington Post reporter that posted a misleading photo suggesting a Trump rally was half-empty. (It really was a sellout.) Hacker News is a site for readers who think. No mat

None so pretty as Crockett's Daytona. (Even though it was really a kit-car based on a 70s Corvette.)

I have known many cops, correctional officers, military police, etc. Without exception, all the ones I have known have been good, helpful people who would not harm someone intentionally. (There are obviously a few bad ones, but none that I

Outrageous. In my opinion, the extreme partisan bias shown by CNN, NBC, and others is a great reason to have voted for Trump. (BTW, I voted for Gary Johnson.) Democracy has no chance to survive when the news media is 'owned' by

Yes, exactly. Faking data (and making emotional appeals like this one) make me doubt the argument. Or at least the motives of the people behind the argument.

Nice article. Code is written for the maintenance programmer to understand. Simple is better.

This is the best news I've seen all day. Great stuff.

Ha ha, good one. For me, Car and Driver is equally laughable.

Agree, totally. We're living in an automotive 'golden age', where reliability, safety and performance are at all-time highs.

Totally true. Just about every reputable financial advisor says to drive used cars and run them 'till the wheels fall off. Today's used cars are fantastically reliable, historically. (At least if you stick with 'Best Buy&#x

Just read an article in Fortune mag. about a venture capitalist that's working to move more remote tech jobs to middle America. I hope he succeeds. The more we share jobs/experiences/wealth/etc. the more we'll unde

Let's see. There was a leftist that shot up a congressional ball game. There's this guy. Have there been any Republicans that threatened legislators?

The pendulum swings back and forth. It's not the end of the earth, it's not going to bring utopia. Can we please use Hacker News for technical issues?

Thanks for providing the search link. By my reading, a lot of those are sympathetic to Dolezal, not critical. Shouldn't there be universal condemnation?

Thanks for that post. It's an interesting perspective, from a background different than my own.

I'm offering an alternative view of "bat shit crazy". It may be harmless (as you correctly point out), but it is not tethered to reality.

Really? I am a Republican and I know of no white nationalists. Explain to me where they are. Provide reliable statistics, please.

by RickJWag 9y ago
Yes, and also let's please highlight the great Thomas Sowell and Dr. Ben Carson. Two great conservative contributors (who are also men of color.)

Yes, true. When things seem overwhelming, I like to remind myself that in the 60s things seemed worse. (To me, the 80s and 90s were very good.)

I'd like to point out that Trump was a Democrat for nearly his entire life, just up until the point when he hijacked the Republican party (against great efforts from the Bush family, Mitt Romney, etc.) Confusing Donald Trump with a con

Really? Let's put the shoe on the other foot. Let's make the sentence read: " The entire movement has been hijacked by sexual deviants and people who don't want to work for a living. Aligning yourself with such an ideol

That may be. But I think the left will be even unhappier with Mr. Pence in office. Remember, Trump was a Democrat for a long while before he was a Republican. (IMHO, he became a Republican solely because it was the easier party to hijack

Yes. I haven't seen anyone on the left disputing or disparaging it.

I won't pay. I look often, mostly following headlines from 'Real Clear Politics' (which has both left and right-leaning links). NYT leans too far left for my tastes, I won't pay to support that. I'll read free art

The same argument could be made about liberals and BSC. For instance, all the sex-and-ethnicity choosing going on. Totally without scientific merit, yet the left behaves as if it's science. The pendulum swings both ways. Trump's

The author is a speech-writer for Democratic candidates. (Huffington Post reports this.) Meanwhile, MSNBC has this title today: "An open letter to Congress signed by 137 economists supporting GOP tax reform bill"
