wait so why did you reply to my comment instead of just to the original comment? Is there something wrong with me addressing inaccuracies in the portrayal of Schiff's role, even if I don't address the aspects that interest you?

I don't see what it is in my comment that you disagree with. I was only pointing out that Schiff funded the Bolsheviks because of his political views that were related to bring an American Jew. And there seems to be plenty of evidence

That fact that you can't call it the Jewish lobby is exactly the squeamishness I'm referring to. The Jewish lobby are not at all shy about saying that they support Israel because they are Jewish. There are of course some Jews wh

Based on the wikipedia article it looks like Jacob Schiff funded the Russian Revolution because he was Jewish, and disliked the anti-Semitism of the Tzarist regime. As the article discusses, he funded the Japanese side in the Russo-Japanes

The problem with the comparison is that the left also has blood on its hands. The self righteous zealotry of the progressive movement is as comparable to China's cultural revolution, as Trump's populist appeal to Whites is to fas

It's hilarious that the one thing that is consistently down voted on hn is economic orthodoxy. This is absolutely no different to the anti vaccination movement. People are simply too lazy and arrogant to listen to what the economics pr

This is an interesting question, but don't forget to also ask "how much would they make if they weren't working for Uber?" Same goes for Walmart. If you've been to Walmart and Starbucks it's pretty clear that

You are interpreting "all lives matter" to mean this. It could also mean that black people are not especially target by the police and that outrage at law enforcement is misplaced. For example we know that the rates of police vi

Sure, I will give an example. Most people on the left believe that black Americans commit more crime per capita then whites, and that this is due to various sociostructural phenomena. However another common viewpoint is that the gap in co

I think the left tends to deal in half truths or highly questionable interpretations of facts passed off as facts, while the right deals more in outright lies. But the left has the ability to get you fired if you question their assertions t

Yes there is. The actual tweet, verbatim was "will the 2nd amendment be as cool when i buy a gun and start shooting atrandom white people or no...[two eyes emoji]". Scroll down in the thread to see it. This is exactly the kind o

"othering" of nerds isn't restricted to liberals but it is especially hypocritical when they do it. Also liberals are predisposed to "other" nerds because they have chosen nerds to be the symbol of unaware privileg

A HUD would probably be almost as good as AR in terms of safety, just not nearly as cool.

What would be cool is using the windscreen for an AR display, with glasses for both head tracking and for stereoscopic display. I guess it would be expensive, probably too expensive for Uber drivers. Maybe it could still be used in luxury

After playing Holopoint for 30 minutes, I felt a sense of elation and heightened perception. I felt like I could type faster, and my reaction times were faster. It reminded me of Lawnmower Man. I didn't get this effect with less inte

If we keep the same caps and introduce a minimum wage for H-1B visas, this would be a strict improvement. I don't know why this would even be controversial, it's basic economics. All developed countries prefer higher paid workers

The problem is that liberals sneer at other people regardless of their actual qualifications or education. No on here has presented evidence that they are more educated or qualified than Trump, and yet they are taking it for granted that T

And yet if the rule were "for every new javascript framework, 2 existing frameworks must be eliminated" HN would be cheering.

Ok I'm starting to see this. I guess a good example is how he acted towards Jeb especially in the primary debates. I still think that responding to Trump's verbal style with physical violence is wrong.

I meant "per capita". I'm wondering if you are really being fair in interpreting my comment the way you did. E.g. a progressive article uses the exact same language[0]: It is also common to hear the supposedly neutral stat

This site seems to be broken, I get matched but most messages don't post. In the meantime the best way to have a discussion with Trump supporters is not to vote them to negative infinity on HN :-)
