How are Obama sanctioned drone strikes at all comparable to a scarlet letter?

Inflammatory language like that isn’t suitable for HN - I hardly think donating to a org that supports a political proposition opposing gay marriage qualifies as ‘bigoted homophobe’ - but if your hatred keeps you going... carry on

So was Obama until halfway through his presidency but we don’t put scarlet letters on him... as a gay dude I’m sick of us branding people all the time... the dude is a legend no if’s ands or buts

Was anything they said here particularly sensational? They didn’t even mention the A word (aliens), just pretty much stated what happened.

That tinfoil hat looks good on you - seriously read the article it is nothing remotely close to what you are suggesting

I’m pretty sure they are referencing an article published by a science journalism company owned by Northrop - it was discussing the possibility of alien biospheres. That is waaaay different than what op is suggesting. A bit clickbaity in th

They confirmed the incident so unless the pilot/copilot were just completely fabricating it, they did in fact have contact with a UFO - that doesn't mean aliens - just something unidentified.

Isn’t it almost certainly the case that the ‘unstoppable’ thing it turns in to will basically be more akin to a general cold though? The thing that makes this virus deadly is also the thing we are coding against in the vaccine.

Does anyone have any tips for using ddg? I feel like maybe I’m just not conditioned to how it thinks cause I seem to have terrible luck with my search relevance. People here seem to love it and I would love to switch over from google but I

I ditched my google homes almost entirely because of ok google feeling to hail corporate - I much prefer echo or computer on the Amazon platform. I think the key is just allowing some customization.

For anyone wondering - no this definitively isn't fraud - no it will have no impact your credit (there isn't even a mechanism for this to happen), nor will it get debt collectors after you (you don't owe a subscription contin

I don’t think many people outside of AI will have a use for this (at least at first) so why would you market it any other way?

It really wasn’t ‘just a joke’ though. There is a whole range of discussion to be had on the resources used by crypto - and if you can make a quip and also commentary I see that as valuable. Is it the pinnacle of HN comments? Not at all. Bu

Isn’t that kind of what you are doing by posting that comment? You could respond and explain why you disagree - instead you just shallowly dismissed their comment by saying it was shallow. Also maybe I’m crazy but their comment seemed to be

I would guess because you can actually make money with this capture technique and reduce emissions - planting a tree for the sake of reducing emissions is nice but it doesn’t make money and therefor isn’t a market based solution

Child protective services for one - it is criminal in most states to neglect your child’s education

Huh? I’m not dismissing anything in the op comment - just giving an equally succinct description of the problem as the replied - in no world is dismissing your child’s education good parenting - maybe they have an excuse but it doesn’t make

Does how hard it is change that it is bad parenting? No it doesn’t. Just because someone has a hard life doesn’t excuse them from responsibility

People can make excuses all they want - it doesn’t change the fact that it is bad parenting

My whole point in the original thread was - I wonder if this will spill out into general advertising too.

by jjcon 6y ago
For advertising they do - stop arguing against a point that isn’t being made. Posting job listings isn’t their ‘bread and butter’.

Google does get to decide it for advertising and that is their bread and butter
