Publishing this in The Guardian, what beautiful irony

I would plaster that shit with ads, it's free money.

I'd just like to point out that the CIA has gone so far as to have a meme warfare department. CIA agents posting on HN is well within the realms of possibility. Don't take everything you read here at face value

I'm pretty sure that this got immediately downvoted on reddit because it's a crackpot conspiracy theory, not because someone is seeking to control the narrative.

Not Belgium but the Netherlands, I've seen it myself. Here it's a public issue, even being discussed in parliament.

What a terrible article. Clickbait title, super obvious answer that everybody should've learned in middle school, some nontruths (some mass does get converted to energy. It's a negligible amount (as E=mc^2 and c is big) but it&#

However personal experience tells me women are more likely to go to the doctor in the first place whereas men have more of a "it'll fix itself" attitude

Depends on what it is, either semver for things where backward compatibility is necessary or just "version 1, version 2 etc." where a new version is a big enough change you should consult the documentation to know what is going on

I think you got downvoted because "no humor please, this is HN"

I think property ownership is an instinctive trait. Just like you don't have to tell a cat to piss against all the trees to assert ownership, you probably don't need to tell people about property. I guess we could tell them "

If we only have one sentence, we'd best make sure we cram as much information into that sentence as possible. Finally those years of studying Latin are paying off.

Not sure how admiring a man who made billions of dollars, build some fantastic property, became president of the United States, is a pretty good golf player, etc. is depressing. The man has achieved more than 99.99999% of people will ever a

Personally I look towards people I admire; especially times they screwed up. For example, right now Donald Trump is somebody that's very inspiring to me, because I consider him a great and admirable man, who has also made many mistakes

None of that changes anything about the fact that they regularly publish half-truths or outright lies, though. As is the case in this situation. There's a big gap between theory and practice.

The Guardian is a fake news website. Of course they won't pull it.

South Korea just steals and takes credit for everything Japan makes. They're like China, but they get away with it better.

The Amish are a very interesting people, I respect them very much. I wouldn't want to live that way, but you have to have some admiration for people who can hold on to their principles like that in the face of modern conveniences.

Why always /b/, though? I get that it's the most popular board, but its culture is so different from the rest of 4chan that it might as well be its own website. I'd like to see an analysis of multiple boards, comparing c

The archives are so vast that the data in them becomes mostly meaningless; the only point in reading them is to either check out threads that happened recently, or look at legendary posts (which would've been screencapped anyways)

Interesting. I really like some of these (mainly the big focus on self-reliance) and strongly disapprove of some others (5.15AM breakfast? No snacks? No thanks. More seriously, I'm really opposed to the mandatory 2 hours of daily study

Nice to have a list of these. Also, the first time that copypasta actually spooked me out ;-)

If they were actually a positive contribution to the country one would think that they'd have been able to immigrate legally. Even if they are a positive contribution, that just means we should have a good look at immigration procedure

Undocumented implies they're perfectly fine immigrants, we just don't know about them. This is misleading. Illegal immigrants are criminals, and there's nothing wrong with referring to them as such. You wouldn't refer to

Swartz killed himself though. Unpopular opinion, but people need to stop acting like anybody but Swartz himself was responsible for his death. He wasn't even mistreated that bad, and he did knowingly break the law

That's valid, but only for illiterates. I don't see how this applies to anyone beyond the age of 10 or so - I know I ditched Windows at the age of 12, at least, and English isn't even my native language.

>without messing with the command line Why is this required? It's not like people had trouble with the command line in the MS-DOS days. Personally I think people being afraid of the command line is just a matter of cultural dogma, n

Emacs has some design decisions that are the result of 20 years of concessions on a ton of different platforms, and some of those are questionable anno 2017. Emacs' actual codebase definitely isn't bad.

Emacs is already struggling with a lack of core developers; porting it to a relatively obscure language won't alleviate that. I'd rather people help out with Emacs proper than doing silly stuff like this. I know Rust fans are pass
