I object to the word 'weird' here but I get your point. A time that comes to mind is Fifty Shades of Grey bringing sadomasochism into popular culture and discussion.

Agreed, it's clear that a proxy is needed. Also that Ethiopian is not a sub-par operation. My issue is that a 'safety rating' based on an optional certification is being used to compare airlines as more/less safe. Why no

While I agree with your sentiment on stereotypes, looking at the link your comment seems misleading. The airlines you mention score lower on 'Safety Rating' due to lack of IOSA certification. "Registering for IOSA certificati

Alexa needs a PageRank and an 'I'm feeling lucky' that is successful the majority of the time. I would like it to work as a room of human experts works with a moderator. Alexa, how long will it take me to cycle to Netto? Alex

The Moccamaster is ubiquitous in Denmark. When I moved here from the UK (where the average household gets their coffee from a jar of Nescafe) it was a curious sight. We picked up our Moccamaster second hand for 300 DKK (about 45 USD). This

I'm the director of a UK company, now resident in Denmark. Unfortunately by moving to Denmark the company is viewed as having an office here. I therefore work for and get paid from an ApS (Danish limited company) which is wholly owned

Your statement was "There is a large, almost exclusively muslim criminal element there ..." That's pretty inflammatory. You stated this as fact when it appears to be your subjective opinion. I am genuinely interested in data

"If all you have is a hammer..." You're talking to software engineers here. Equating 'humanity' to us on Hacker News forgets about all of the mechanical engineers who would do a great job of racking those pins.

Ooo... I think we have a BBC bot. The submitter 'MiriamWeiner' only submits from BBC.com and does so about once a day. Never comments. Very irregular pattern for a human, although perhaps not for a happy license-fee payer.

I have read a few articles recently on BBC.com where I've felt, well, puzzled over which site I'm on. It seems they are using more freelance writers and writing more of this kind of content (dare I say content marketing). Googling

(This does not sound like your experience but) I'm very surprised when a bad reviewer has a resolvable problem, makes no attempt to contact support and simply writes a bad review. Or, sends a support email and 30 seconds later writes a
