First, you shouldn't be getting downvoted. This is a legitimate question in my opinion. In America, there's generally an attitude of caveat emptor for non-essential things, news publications included.* I live in New York City, a

I'm guessing because every time I go to a conference, 90 out of 100 computers there are Macbook Pros. I imagine a lot of people on HN use these computers daily. It's nice to know Apple iterated on their hardware.

The FCC has specifically asked people to comment on their proposal. Either they do care, or they're staging some very bizarre and pointless PR stunt because it really doesn't matter if anyone likes them or not.

It's like you skimmed the entire comment, saw the thing about debt and then commented on something completely tangential to the point GP was making. The point was how much we spend, the point was the government in 1948 was a completely
