"The underlying theory is straightforward. Children who are unwanted at birth are at risk of a range of adverse life outcomes and commit much more crime later in life. Legalised abortion greatly reduced the number of unwanted births. C

> It seems like the place was just Child Abuse Island (r) (tm). Yep - look at some of Simon Winchester's writing where we goes into more unfortunate detail about this. Pitcairn is not a place you want to go.

Oh such fond memories of this game. My friend had it and spent so many hours at his house playing it together. IMHO those times were the glory days of gaming - so many interesting and "odd" ideas that got tried out since there was

With US troops it's always a concern what they're going to get up to on their off time. The US generally will not let its troops be prosecuted under local jurisdictions which sometimes creates very messy situations.

The really big deal with all of this is that the island of Gotland will now be available for NATO activity without a lot of red tape. Between Gotland (Sweden) and Bornholm (Denmark) that's like having permanent warships in the Baltic.

There is no two ways about it - this is great news. Even if the US bails on NATO (sadly very much in the realm of possibility), having both Sweden and Finland as members will help protect the Baltic.

Reading the comments here, I am having a total Slashdot throwback moment. Did anybody actually read TFA? Most of the replies I am seeing here seem to have treated the article's title as a writing prompt. Read the whole article friends

No, I got exactly what you meant. And I stand by what I said.

Wow. You wrote so many words and yet you said nothing substantive whatsoever. Good riddance!

Do you know anything at all about how all those artists got paid? Why is it on the exploited to figure it out? “Sorry bud, I know I keep holding you up for money. You really ought to figure out a way not to get robbed.”

Mmm I’ve been on this site for over a decade and it is definitely inconsistent. Hang around and you will see it too. Like I said I don’t mind.

Generally speaking I do but when I see a top comment like that I feel compelled. It’s honestly somewhat schizophrenic on HN sometimes. You’ll read comments on one article and everybody goes full-bore Bay Area tech bro libertarian - no regul

Friend, your comment made me laugh out loud. You know nothing about me and my religious/spiritual beliefs. I think you would be quite surprised if you knew what they were. For what it's worth, I am not a Christian and I was not th

> The value is in the copying not the material. In having a mechanism to spread your material to as many eyes as possible. Sorry friend but this is a really bad take. I sink my time and energy into creating something and then when I ge

D'oh - thank you, you are correct. I was thinking of Shaker furniture. That said, I also admire the Quakers for their values.

Well said - I think of Quaker (edit: I meant Shaker) furniture as a great example of this.

It's quality in general. If you are building something for whatever god you happen to believe in, you are going to want to build something of high quality to honor that. Why make a shoddy sacrifice?

Makes sense. Am I reading into your response if I assume you are not a fan of XP?

I thought early Twitter took off in part with help from XP? My understanding was that Jack poached a lot of XP practitioners away from Pivotal Labs to help build both Twitter and Square?
