What's the incentive for giving rating to people? It seems like I will be benefitting them financially with no guarantee what so ever that I will get rated positively as well. If people start giving ratings out of reciprocity, then wha

Japan is very clean. You should visit there once. It will change your standards of cleanliness for ever. I used to think Toronto was a clean city. After visiting Tokyo, I see that very few areas in Toronto are actually clean.

This sounds like a big joke. I'd rather emoji be removed from Unicode.

You're trying to find a loophole. Maybe this kind of sophistry could work on some lawyers or policemen, but it's really not a convincing argument.

some ? That "some" portion is 99.999% of users. If you were honest, you would say "I don't care that 1% might be using it for legitimate torrents"

Your comparison is ludicrous. How would you like if someone found your address and posted detailed instructions about how to get to your house, what hours of the day you're not there, and what type of security (if any at all) is instal

Don't talk to me in legalese. I'm not a judge nor a lawyer. I'm not a policeman or a law enforcement agent of any type. We all know what TPB is for.

Google does comply with DMCA. Google is not setup explicitly for the purpose of finding pirated material. The pirate bay is. And it's pretty obvious from the name too. I don't see how their logic is "skewed".

Still geographically far and culturally different. Although sharing religion does create some familiarity but in reality I don't think the culture is similar.

OT nitpicking but Singapore is neither nearby nor culturally similar.

That's why I specifically said skills that are needed by the market. There's no point in training everyone in say "acupuncture therapy" when there's no demand for it.

The Syrian Crisis dates back to before ISIS taking over. ISIS just amplified it. Syrians were fleeing their country by the millions even before then. Millions of refugees went to Turkey and Jordan due to the civil war and the brutal campaig

I don't know if this makes me sounds like a hard line right winger (I don't consider myself as such) but doesn't it make way more sense to provide free* programs to train people in skills that are actually needed by the marke

> Facebook satisfied our needs to connect with our friends when it arrived. Now it's 100% ads. So there's no reason to stay on it. I personally stick with direct messaging apps (Skype, LINE).

His intentions to protect his assets from unfair laws? How is that a bad intention?

Your concept of logic is rather fuzzy.

There's an opposite trend: the "single mother" family. I haven't heard of anything resembling an extended family house occurring in North America.

The fact that you're getting downvoted for saying this on HN (out of all places) is kinda odd.

I think would much rather my leaders just sign some sort of an armistice agreement rather than annihilate "enemy" civilians. I mean there are ways to end a war without total destruction. And the logic of killing civilians to save

Then how come that when I see your comment, my brain knows what letter each symbol represents, and knows what each word means, and can construe a meaning out of the sentence?

That's completely different from winning or losing a war. The events you describe don't affect the US's dominance at all. The region's current turmoil is all internal. The US can just wait it out and then when it's

How did they "lose" Iraq? They successfully invaded the country, changed the regime, changed the military, the police, the government .. everything. Then they left. Iraq is in utter chaos, the US is doing just fine. How exactly di

There's one thing severely lacking in lisp: compile time type checking! IMO Haskell has the best typing system I've seen in a language so far. TypeScript is probably a close second (it kinda has to be as flexible and powerful as p
