Yet another reason to buy something better than a MacBook. :) Don't get me wrong, I used to love Macs. But they really started screwing their own prosumers, ohhh, back in 2011 when they made Final Cut Pro X into a "for dummies&q

I'm sorry if it seemed like I made that assumption. I certainly didn't mean to. There were attempts at similar things in the Nordics, and certainly Russia displaced many local tribes in its hunt to stamp out any ethnical uniquenes

Being part Sami I think it's fascinating to read about the system of reservations in the USA. I'm not sure about minority rule, but I'm clearly in favour of saving the unique cultures and ethnicities from dying out. After man

I think prjeddie's concerns are extremely relevant. However he's not the only one working on things like this, thus it's unlikely that research and development will stop, although I certainly think such development is ethical

I don't get this. Clearly the contents is served by Google, and so they can do whatever they like with it. How is an end user going to know whether the message was signed before it was passed on or not?

Ahaha, oh! At first I thought it was some artsy web page brick wall statement or something. Now that I clicked back, there's actually content too! Thank you revealing it for me. Weren't it for you, it'd probably just kept s

I remember about 10-15 years ago, I went there during their Liberation Day. There was a TV on, and I could understand most of what was said, due to having visited Bulgaria many times before. The guy was standing on a podium, between two eag

I'm actually amazed that there was a somewhat troll-free discussion about the protests and riots going on in the USA (and the West) right now. I think this is a giant kudos to HN. It's just a great feeling that we can disagree, bu

It's Norway, though many European countries have similar policies. It's not cool to be met with social workers, though. It means you've basically failed at life.

"You're making a lot of (intentional or not) dogwhistles." And you're not, of course... "races in the US continue to be relatively segregated[0]." Yes, similar groups, culturally or otherwise, tend to want to l

Not sure if it's completely related, but my dad will sometimes talk about the "Yuppie Time" during the 80's, when he tried to get funding for some rather big IT projects. There would be well connected "yuppies"

I agree that per capita numbers always tell a more accurate story. Anyway here's a great resource to make those adjustments: https://data.census.gov/cedsci/table?d=ACS%205-Year%20Estima...

The logic of your argument seems to be: "There was slavery, so there was systemic racism." Am I right? Then you extruded that argument into: "Because there was slavery, there is also systemic racism today." This is quite

Domestic issues are often met with social workers where I'm from. They gain early detection and access, by registering and treating social issues such as poverty, health or mental related issues. A lot of people then have their lives c

I believe in positive reinforcement. As far as I know there are already more black people in the police squads in black neighbourhoods, but it can't hurt to get more in, especially in exposed areas. I don't believe in responding t

A few facts to note: Blacks kill more blacks than any other race or ethinicity.[1] Blacks also kill more whites, than whites kill blacks in pure numbers.[1] When you factor in the size of the respective populations on a per capita ratio, th

If you work for free, I'd love for you to take a shot at my project! :D Nope, there's nothing in it for you, except the feeling of JOY to work on my plan on taking over the world.

In an ideal world, you'd always get a fair exchange for whatever you gave away. Currently money seems to be the most versatile. I remember I rented a room from a friend. He told me that his grandfather got a 100 year lease on that apar

Have you ever calculated how much you've paid in insurance fees over the years, and the interest you'd earn if you simply saved the money?

by kebman 6y ago
I've come to the conclusion that the "protection" most insurance companies offer, are scams. Hear me out. While there are one-off insurances, most insurance is monthly or annually. So each year you pay a set amount. Now, cons

Why do states need to pay reparations from time to time, then?

Though you may not know it, you may still be eligible for penalty interest on the sum. State and governmental bodies often don't bother to mention loopholes that goes against their favour, however, so you'll have to look them up y
