Yes. Americans keep complaining about their government, yet every election they keep on voting for the same party they voted for last time, the same one that already did what the didn't like - or they don't bother. Where I live, p

Please don't lump pedophiles in with murderers. Many of them are in prison simply for downloading a file from the internet. In some cases, the content is perfectly legal and harmless but was edited to be sexually suggestive and the peo

Now isn't the time to help. Enough governments already have relief supplies available for natural disasters so they're already helping. If you really want to help then work on protection against future disasters. People only feel

In a way it's glaringly true. Most Americans will die from eating too much domesticated meat which is known to cause heart disease. If you're already overweight or have high cholesterol/etc then any undetected possible effect

This is also my pet theory too. You can mentally count and err on the safe side.

This is the hypocracy we all accept as OK. If citizens are barred from travelling internally we call it a human rights violation (USSR, China). If foreigners are barred from travelling between countries we call it "important reasons -

Heh. Try buying it: "The resource you are trying to access cannot be read, due to the following reason: No read operation available. Please try the following: Make sure you really want to access this file. I mean, is it really that imp

"part of the support network either through willful ignorance or" this includes all Americans who pay taxes, vote for the government, etc. Ultimately everyone shares some blame but when we see someone who's more directly resp

Predictably many people are skeptical. But just stop and think about how many times you've caused an accident or near miss, ignored a road sign, got stuck while merging, etc and ask yourself if the computer would have done a better job

It doesn't even list all the OECD countries. This gives the false impression that US is at the bottom. Yep, it's worse than everyone better than it!

I don't like this kind of nonsense arrogance: "In a period when eugenic theories still circulated, Molaison’s doctors reportedly told him that he shouldn’t have sex, since he would likely reproduce children who were similarly dama

To me this is a good sign. Not every small town needs to exist. Historically there were reasons for them - agriculture I guess. But now they often serve no purpose except to house the old people who have trouble leaving. The fact is the wor

It has a bit of preachiness that makes me suspicious how accurate it is. I wonder what less appealing regrets she filtered out. Also, it's on the same site that says "Many of these mantras still exist, but it is very difficult to

Is this really a problem? Isn't corporate tax rate one of the ways countries compete for businesses to be registered with them and pay them tax? I'm sure any government efforts to reduce this will just make it harder for everyone

Judging by the F-word, most Facebook users seem to be neurotic 19-22 year old males.

I can't see any negative here. Nobody's complaining that private security firms exist. They're already used by rich people and businesses anyway. How is a group of residents in a suburb different from a group of residents in

We blame the victim all the time. Many alcoholic, drunk driver, bad-at-their-job people would rather not be like that but they're suffering some kind of severe emotional trouble and don't have the willpower to overcome it, much li

Sorry, you're not allowed to assign average IQs to racial groups anymore. Not since black Americans were found to be lower than whites. You have to attribute the anomalous test scores to the biases in the tests to be politically correc

I agree. People need to assess whatever information they find before acting on it. The more well-known these become, the less influential they should be on any one individual.

If it really is public information then it's perfectly OK to publish it. Complain to the politicians if you don't like arrest records being public. If you're supposed to have a "clean" record then you should just li

My education by Youtube says they're supposed to follow a person. So it might still be quite useful even blind as long as it goes roughly the route its leader went.

This part is the most exciting to me. - "obsoletes the idea of opening a document. Essentially, all documents can be open all the time. All you have to do to interact with one is to zoom in close enough."

Anyone remember the days when you had a website with your photos on it, and you could link to and from them however you wanted? The cost of a free service is ever-increasing anti-features. Imagine if there was an easy way to buy your own pr

I just discovered this is a popular political debate so shouldn't be in HN. I do understand how licenses work, just take issue with using the word "free" for something that has artificial restrictions. This comes from frustra
