I find this attitude not only wrong, but misleading and in the end doing more harm than good. individuals having the illusion of any kind of control of the incoming global warming, deflects the real issues which can only be resolved with re

I find it funny that people blame other people for climate change. facts are, most of the pollution comes from industries, and only the powerful CEO s and country leaders have the power to stop the incoming disaster, while everyone else is

why can't we solve the constant-time issue by just deciding before the action how long it should take in the worst case, and then just wait for that time before continuing?

huge misconception. used to be true, until surveillance tech came along. overthrows never came from progressive people, who believe in peaceful ways, it came from the lowest people in society who no longer have anything to lose. overthrow

of course that's not USA's problem with Iran, it's Iranians problem. it's an impossibly difficult problem to solve, and the more economically stable the regime is, the more resources they can spend on their survivability

the only scalable solution is to reduce demand, not increase supply. cities are already getting pretty saturated, and building more houses isn't going to solve a thing. what is really needed is very fast public transportation from outs

I'm all in for demonetising them, just don't remove them. you're losing the opportunity to change someone's mind when you shut their mouth. instead of removing them, the platforms need to provide with ways to counter the

censorship doesn't work and will never work. if you cut someone's tongue you only prove you're afraid of what he has to say. the best solution is to fight them back by showing them the opposite ideas. don't censor Nazis,

this idea is bad because some actors can potentially earn more money from the manipulation towards a bad policy than they will lose as a result of that policy being bad. the whole reason corruption exists is that the punishment and loss pot

Apple / google tax on apps screams for regulation. Taking a percentage cut from something while the internal cost for them remains constant, is monopoly at its best. Minewhile while we're asleep Microsoft is doing their best to pr

so what if they can mark you as a bot. I'd love to be marked as bot so nobody wants to serve ads to me. that's mission accomplished.

I've heard so many creepy Facebook stories by now. I know a psychologist who is well aware of privacy, which created a pseudonym account only to avoid her patients, which had the whole thing blown in her face when she installed Faceboo

If you don't like Facebook don't use it, it's that simple. Social networks need a critical mass of people to run, even a naive user would stop using Facebook when most of his friends aren't there. Facebook isn't the

This shouldn't be legal. If people fuck themselves up the worst case isn't just them dying, they can accidently unleash a virus. Pretty unlikely, but just the smallest possibility is still too much when the outcome can be so bad.

I find it pretty easy to convince the world exist. If you assume you yourself exist, and think, and if you assume the contrary, that the world out there doesn't exist, you should ask yourself what alcohol and drugs are. Because if the

Why US citizens hate their army so much? All i know is that if google announced it's working with our army on some AI projects, the response would be overwhelmingly positive, and people would praise Google for that. (I'm from Isra

Isn't this ironic, even hypocritical, that while they mock how chrome publicly discloses vulnerability before patch, they themselves do something even worse by publishing this blog before it was fixed, with thorough explanation of ever

The big lie is that connection speed within the ISP means nothing. Most of the time when I experience packet loss / congestion you can clearly see it's in the connection from the ISP to other providers, and some providers are chea

This is disgusting. How do they deserve any reward when north Korea has atomic weapons, when Iran nearly had atomic weapons, and probably will have it after 10 years when the agreement is over. Nobel prizes for peace have become "what

The titles is wrong. The map is still in fact accurate, and not wrong as the titles suggests. It's just that it's totally useless because it's ambiguous. A more appropriate title would be "Voyager's 'Cosmic Map

Here we go, I'm betting less than a month until someone finds some vulnerability in that because it was probably designed with security by obscurity in mind. If they don't have the binary, they can't find vulnerabilities in t

That interview changed my point of view as well. It does indeed seem like hypocrisy, and like the competing and stronger drug companies set up this publication lynch. I can't believe that out of all the strong drug companies, the first

Because we're here in hacker news, we're biased to think that's the only thing screenwriters get wrong. The truth is, nearly every single profession is misrepresented by Hollywood. From doctors, to chemists, biologists, physi

Protecting groups? This is really backwards. Does it matter who i want to kill ? It's ok to say kill all the children, but not OK to say man shouldn't be invited to a women-only party? Excluding a politician just because he's

Hello? You are aware that leaking, a.k.a. treason, is actually illegal :O? Shocking I know. Guessing by the example of all the politicians in the US, who leak everything that politically fits their goal, you were led to believe there's
