Sadly, this could have been avoided 20-15 years ago when Turkey was pretty liberal and aproaching the EU. This has been the biggest mistake of the EU history: letting the right declare it a christian club, and thus losing both a moderate is

Why is this not dead? When do stories die?

I understand why they have been flagged, but I think flagging is used inconsistently, and wanted to hear opinions on why that could be.

I see this problem (if my analysis is correct) as a kind of “we are all equal, some more than others“, which is at the root of most problems around the world. Why wouldn't I raise the issue? The site is otherwise pleasant and interesti

No, I am from EU, but not french. Maybe you are right, but this morning the first think I saw about the terror attack was on HN via Feedly, and I was very surprised to see that all articles were flagged, including one about Facebook activ

I know. You misunderstand: “why the different treatment in HN ... of off-topic news?“. Some are flagged, some are not.

Frankly, I have the impression that even though HN is supposed to be apolitical and cosmopolitan (since technology and science, central topics to HN are so), in reality HN is extremely anglophile (British + American centric, with some Israe

How do you know they didn't make the front page? I would like to verify your explanation.

I am not sure whether I agree or not with your comment, but what interests me more at this moment is "why the different treatment in HN?"

All (7 / 8 ?) articles about the France terrorism attacks have been flagged. I have been able to find 5 non-flagged articles about Jo Cox: [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11917265 [2]: https://ne

Your superior capitalism, the one that won against comunism, doesn't exist. Even the 1% capitalism we have now doesn't exist. Capitalism is a “winner takes all“ system, and will converge to a “1 per thousand“ or “1 per million“ sy

Will it block this article too?

Capitalism is eating itself. It just happened to survive the first round against comunism, and go unchecked for some 30 years. Now inbalances are becoming obscene, and a breaking point will be reached.

He makes a good case that humans are responsible for a lot of the increase of CO2, which is exactly what mainstream science is also claiming. He goes on to say that this is a good thing, since high levels of CO2 are necessary for plants to

All things are not equal, that's the point of the article. My grudge is that it gives english too much weight.

The UK has really closed the rubicon. For the EU, enough is enough. > Brexit will mean a serious blow for the EU in terms of trade loss and budget financing. The UK can get a norwegian deal: same trade, same budget, no UK blocking.
