Why are you implying that “having an agenda” is the accusation? The problem is having an unethical agenda. How is that not clear? Or, are you asserting that nobody has an ethical agenda?

This example isn’t cutting it. Aren’t you just scapegoating the criminal justice system? How can this result in anything but a race to the bottom?

I think “Rehabilitation” is probably a distraction. A mere chance might be all that they need, and America denies that to even people who have not committed a crime. The lack of social mobility means that regardless of what programs or mind

Wow, are you serious?

Alright. So it was just a flat out mistake to think morality was considered even in the slightest.

Why shouldn’t I be able to change your username to “daveFNfuck”? How many people will need to start calling you “daveFNfuck” before HN mods should change your username to “daveFNfuck”?

Nice link. It is incredibly interesting that the Google founders were so outspoken against advertising. I’d love a detailed account of the process which derailed these moral ideals. Anyone?

I notice a lot of Americans love referring to Canada as “Canadia”. I can’t make a bit of sense out of it, but by your logic we should update the maps already.

No. Because they are a result of democracy.

No. It defines advertising. Neighborhoods imply far more than geography; things like culture, traditions, cooperation, people define a neighborhood. This is, among other things, the contents of trust. The idea of a foundation on which to

I’m not an expert on top chopping but I’m pretty sure the employment opportunities for local residents are slim to none and that’s the whole point. I went to school in North Carolina where about a 2 mile drive around the side of a mountain

Well, you’ve exposed yourself as having never been poor for any real length of time. So you’re wrong, but things could be a lot worse.

I think a related phenomenon plays a significant role in the current American political divide. Americans whose self-identity is threatened by increasing technology and connectivity make up for the loss by banding together against identifia

Of course, if a paid therapist is the mediator, this advice can only have a very limited impact on their method regardless. They have a business to run, and that depends on them being liked.

I’d assert that nature == universe == god is an incredibly sober rationalization. As a literary interpretation, it’s acute.

That’s right, but I doubt the “would still be useful part.” I’m not sure there’s anything more harmful to society than wealthy folk who think they were poor once, but were not. Short-lived poverty feels like a game to me. It’s entirely mo

These shortcomings of government are very basic to explain. It’s been well understood for plenty of time that private interests erode otherwise healthy good faith public service. To not acknowledge such systemic causality at this stage of t

Precisely. And regardless of the magnitude, we would surely be hypocrites to keep finger-pointing. The US has been implicitly meddling heavily with international elections for decades. It’s quite sad that Americans are not taught the basic

Did anyone else here take the irresponsible path in life or am I the only one? I dropped out of college for a job offer as a full-time skateboard videographer and didn’t look back for almost a decade. I’m not sure I regret it, but getting r

1st sentence: “This past week I was at a ¿conference?...” (Stories about the mystery conference) 2nd sentence of 2nd paragraph: “I was at ICCS2018, a complex systems conference.“ Why is this normal now? It’s ruining the internet. Everything

And does that mean women are more self-obsessed? No. Definitely not. This article is BS.

Nonsense. Americans thing America is the center of the world because that’s what they were taught. The Great Generation was proud of what they accomplished, the baby-boomers interpreted it in a superficial and media-induced context, and we’

People tend towards authoritarianism. Our tendencies toward finding heirarchies and joining them is essentially an evolved organizational strategy. Communism was an early attempt at flattening it.

For me, it’s everything I dream of and yearn for. I will work for it until the day i die whether you join me or not. We have built a trash pile and treat each accordingly. Libraries are little pieces of harmony. When they close, I will go w

“Moderate” politics == corporate donations + laissez-faire - public relations. This policy is just the public relations part. It’s particularly designed to appease local small business owners without having any measurable effect on the co

This is not a prediction but I wonder if their proliferation could stretch the subconscious Overton Window. I think that’s where the Overton Window seems to operate.
