I thought we were speaking quantitatively. Where's that quantitative evidence? EDIT: No offense, peterwwillis, but I tend to take arguments such as those from Americans with a grain of salt. Americans like to think that they are bett

Can you point to that quantitative evidence and where NSA has been held accountable? I smell propaganda in the air.

Why would you prefer NSA exploiting them?

Disagree with your point about nationalities, not "American" per say. Here's an example: look at the coverage of the missing Malaysia airlines plane. Every single article I've read starts with this: "[insert nationa

Your argument makes sense. However, let us take into account the fact that there are all kinds of laws passed[0] that frankly shouldn't. [0]Under the disguise of national security concerns.

You guys probably have more important things to to think about, but when it comes to personalizing projects, here are my thoughts: 1) Not everything will sound or seem uber exciting, so the only images they will be able to post will be gene

If I may, I'd like to comment on my initial impression: Bland. Sorry. I know minimalist is all the rage these days, but I (speaking only for myself) would prefer more of a grid-image-based view of the projects.1)It'd add some flar

I'm really, really trying not to be snarky or offensive here, but does anybody else think people using the phrase "founding fathers" sound like a part of a cult?

I thought I'd chip in. I had a professor visiting from the U.S. and he was absolutely in love with the culture in Europe - how we sort of accept more responsibility. He told me he would choose building a business in europe vs. the U.S.

Before your edit, you wrote about risk aversion and how it's toxic for a society. I disagree, mainly because this case is an asymmetric risk scenario - his gains from pleading not guilty are extremely miniscule when compared to his los

I agree with almost all of your post in terms of business and how NGOs operate. However, I'm going to offer a more cynical opinion on why people go to developing countries. I disagree that people who go there are somehow doing it becau

Agreed; the difference between downloading a movie in 10 minutes and 1 minute is rather miniscule. Additionally, I don't think even streaming sites would generally require more than 50 mbps to watch comfortably. Not even talking about

I don't have direct experience with the state of the internet in the U.S., but isn't it terrible in large, metropolitan cities as well? I'm really just using the anecdata I've been reading on HN. Furthermore, afaik many

The keyword in your post is protesters . Using molotov cocktails, rocks and fireworks makes it a riot. Also, I think it'd be useful to think about how western countries would handle this kind of "protest".

Read this very internal memo and decide for yourself. Surely, you could argue for China and Russia breaking human rights, but they don't portray themselves as the moral authority in the world. The document says this: kill squads, assas

Agreed. Jailing Pussy Riot was/is definitely a pursuit of political persecution. Well, technically, Russia acted very lawfully in this case - they did not have an extradition treaty with the U.S., and Snowden sought political asylum. I

Please note: 1) U.S. is 32nd in the world when it comes to freedom of the press. 2) U.S. is also pro-torture and quite clearly anti-human rights, with their judicial system being just as corrupt as Russia's, if not more(See: http:&#x

Does anything justify killing a 16-year-old non-american citizen without due process? Just saying. This post is largely about how people in the war-driven countries are perceived by Americans as just abstract figures, instead of real people

While your approach seems to be the rational way to go about it, it's simply impractical. Officials constantly lie under oath(legalese and national security), and admit to wrongdoings only when they are exposed, and there's absolu

That may be true. A lot of people, however, choose to have kids only because they think kids will bring joy to their life, not the other way around, which makes for a terrible relationship dynamic. In other words, a couple becomes bored of
