Given that. I don't understand how the US can fight a viral epidemic. You have the best medical services in the world; but if a significant part of the population is not going to use that because of the threat of financial ruin, then y

How does testing and quarantine work for people in the US who are not insured? I am seeing stories around the web of people having to pay 2-3.000 USD for a test and also facing major bills for hospital quarantine?

Reddit is the worst. Catering to constant conflict. Always testing limits of what is technically legal and what clearly falls under hate speech laws; all under the banner of free speech. Reddit would love to be as technological advanced as

What is cloud computing here? Is it some of Google services such as Mail or Drive. Or is it the cloud hosting competing with MS Azure or AWS?

Where does that attitude towards tourism come from? I know this is politics but other places would welcome tourism and professional conferences with open arms. When I see a group of tourists cueing in front of something in Copenhagen - sure

I don't quite understand this. Is the problem that you can book a hotel (or bnb) within the occupied territories? Or is it you can book a hotel at something which is an "illegal" (as set by the UN but not by Israel I assume)

It tells you something about how expensive it would be to have someone else save the CO2 you have emitted by flying a plane. But you are right. The price going to purchase the CO2 offset is probably less than what I would be paying.

Last time I bought a Ryanair ticket I was offered to purchase a co2 emission offset. The price was less than 1 euro. Telling me that there better ways to lower co2 emissions than not flying. (Or creating new airplanes.)

I am pretty sure this one is for domestic consumption. The Chinese are a bogeyman comparable to the Russians. Being tough on them and have the other party being in bed with them is something that is surely useful in a coming election campai

They are guessing. The case will never go to court. The DOJ knows it so they don't have to have actual evidence. The indicment is being publicised for political reasons.

Isn't this one of those cases that is never going to court? Similarly to the Russian military intelligence officers that were indicted in the Muller investigations?

I don’t understand what it is that the Chinese authorities are supposedly misreporting? The mortality rate of 2% is consistent with the number of cases and deaths reported by other countries. Is it that there are a large number of undiagnos

I thought the deal about the F35 and other fighter planes was that when the various countries bought this hardware they got to build a part of it. Really as a way to soften or justify the absurd cost of these things, For example here in Den

No. It is quite objectively bad ui. That thousands of users cannot figure out how to do basic things is as objective as it gets. Also that we nerds enjoy making jokes about it instead of fixing it is the reason we don't get invited to

Great jokes but bad user interface design comes at a real cost.

My guess is that they shot down their own plane. Also losing control of a funeral and having 50 people killed in a stampede. Plus claiming 60 dead us troops in their revenge attack which as far as I can tell had no casualties. My interpreta

There are probably parts of Facebook that have incentive to ignore fake accounts and trafic, maybe even encourage it, as they are being measured by increases in user count or some raw quantification of user engagement.

I too thought that would be a fun question to ask hn. So I made a new thread about it at: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21890250

It is a once a decade question so I am hoping it is alright ...

I don't think that is correct. I remember when House of Cards came out. It did show that they (Netflix, a technology company) could produce, had big money and a willingness to spend, would do something that was different and unconventi

I think it is really great to see the Chinese internet giants releasing some of their software as open source. In a time of geopolitical "tech wars" open source culture could easily become collateral damage.
