I think it's a difference in belief. Do you prefer American culture and values or Chinese culture and values? Which would you rather protect?

Okay let's just spend trillions of dollars giving every person who has applied for immigration complete background checks, and if any of the checks can't be completed for any reason what-so-ever, we should deny them citizenship. S

I assume you meant to say "you claimed you got your degree in 93 when you actually got it in 92". I work in the background check business and each check has its own windows of acceptance. Depending on how long ago the degree was a

Even then, "greater than or equal to" is >= not => I guess they're meant to be some kind of arrow?

You must remember that "Expert System" is a term used in machine learning which specifically means a system in which the input is (logically, not literally) processed by humans at every step until the output is provided, rather th

I second learning the event loop. One of the most important parts of the JS engines, though somehow missed by most commenters.

Australia, where you can't buy much online, and whatever you can buy takes 4 weeks to show up. You might like it, personally I'd prefer the convenience of being able to buy whatever I wanted whenever I wanted wherever I wanted and

I didn't think of that particular joke, and I never mentioned up voting (in your words, gratifying). My mind was considering the topic at hand, and I felt the stark change of tone was nice. I like seeing some humour every now and then

Not sure why you're getting down voted, it gave me a chuckle. Clearly the humour is lost on the HN crowd.

You might have better luck if you attack the substance rather than the authority.

In addition to paying tax, the Tesla employees probably have a relatively high salary and are feeding money directly to the locals through general consumerism.

That's just the thing, Tesla isn't creating the chaos, everybody else is. Tesla setting huge goals and trying their best to reach them, no doubt exceeding Musk's true expectations. Companies fail to meet goals all the time, m

Rounded to the nearest 5c, not rounded up to the nearest 5c. Also, that is only for cash payments, electronic payments are not rounded.

Apparently yes, they are. That was the reason I raised the question. Anybody with access to a phone or computer is a potential customer, and we've had IE11s and Safari 10s walk past. If you'd like another example, look at native d

Neither Object.entries nor the File constructor are supported in IE11. WebRTC support was only introduced in Safari 11, for example. As much as I'd like to only have to support modern standards, a large portion of people use outdated b

This completely misses the point. In arcade games you can take a day off, come back the next day, and be just as likely to be "the best". In modern online mobile games, if you wanna be at the top and you take a day off, you might

Get a grip on reality dude. Nobody is going to risk their livelyhood to stop somebody being in relatively[0] moderate pain for an hour. The fact that you expect strangers to do this for you is really very selfish. Not sure how suing is rela

You're right, it's not always the case, but in that format the second sentence is usually a justification of the first. Also, Black Mirror is not a comedy.

I think the point was something like JP's "clean your room before you try to change the world". Let's fix our system before we go grand-standing about China.

I use the term "partner" because I'm in a civil partnership. Same legalities as being married but without the terminology and ceremony, not to be politically correct, respectful, or to maintain privacy. So it depends on where

Why not look at an aggregation of tens of thousands of reviews? Much less likely to be bought. In the world of bots and influencers, reviews that cite the hotels weaknesses are the most valuable.
