Let's allow richer-than-us foreigners to come to our city, buy all the houses, and then keep them empty to make tax-free money through air-bnb. Fuck the locals, there's tourists that want to enjoy the sun in the summer and arabs t

Oh yes, private police would be a terrific idea.

Well put, it's really shocking to read some of those wild corporation-worshiping views on HN.

Any good link on how NGOs work/how to start on in Europe? Are there unified E.U. rules about it or does it change from country to country ?

I don't see why everything published needs to be the absolute truth (which of course nothing can be). If they had published six years ago, the whole community would have been able to validate and confirm in those six years, instead

I strongly suspect that the sneezing goes with a whole package of body language, you won't send the dogs hunting by hidding a recording of sneezes in the bush nearby

The natural state of living organisms is to remain alive and reproduce (or help their progeny), this is such a basic concept of life that I have no idea what else I could say to support it... Life's natural state is to remain alive and

Wasn't the risk shared between those who got to live in mcmansions and those who gave them the money for that? Why does one party get to reap all the benefits but pay none of the consequences?

It's also safe to point out that the vast majority of people for the vast majority of topics don't know and don't care. Don't tell me the people who go around cycling on tiny bikes with their heels on the pedal and

Keep in mind that this will change the feeling of the bike quite drastically. When you hit a bump with an airtyre, the entire wheel responds to absorb the shock, but with foam tyres that doesn't happen (only the part of the tyre r
