People on here barely read past headlines and you expect them to click three times to find the source code for a browser extension?

How well has that worked for climate science?

You would be a pretty lousy troll in that case.

China's a counterexample. Their censorship efforts are pretty damn effective.

Why not take a step further and get rid of states?

No, it's implicitly emphasized. Uber doesn't explicitly condone sexual harassment, and yet it's utterly rampant there. Actions speak louder than words.

I don't care and I doubt most users do. AMP has made my mobile browsing experience effectively much faster.

I thought I'm the only one. It's really fast and easy to use. I don't understand all the hate here.

Stress tends to wreak havoc on the entire body, so I'd have been surprised if this weren't the case.

"Apple Retail Stores and Online Store represent a significant chunk of online sales and Apple apparently feels that it can use it as a strong arm bargaining chip in these types of negotiations."

Ironically it's also precisely those engineering minds who have built weapons capable of wiping out the human race.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but given the monumental impact of his actions, why didn't win something like the Nobel Peace Prize? Instead he's largely forgotten and unknown.

You missed the point. It doesn't matter what the goal is; this line of questioning is invasive and inappropriate.

Is the new xamarin going to be any less buggy?

It looks like you missed the point of my comment. I'm saying that Numerai won't be able to distinguish between zero alpha and positive alpha models, if all they're doing is running historical simulations on black boxes.

I noticed that the past several Python-related threads on HN haven't contained the usual cynical comments against adopting Python 3. Are we finally at a point where Python 3 has been accepted as the gold standard?

No. Any dictionary definition of racism suggests a feeling of superiority over the race in question. Romantic preferences have nothing to do with it.

"It also is important to note that use of a statutory tax rate for the jurisdiction being analyzed (in this instance, the U.S.) is standard." Is this true?

I said censored, not downvoted. My original post was at 47 points when it was censored. If it was so bad, then why did so many people agree?

FYI dang censored my comment about how HNers react to these stories with a jealous and insecure attitude: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12576210
