Imo, one solution would be for high schools to encourage students to work for 3 years doing unskilled labor until they make enough money to pay for 3 years of college. Then for the 4th year they can get a part time job in their field and ma

Yes, that works. (I can start using this more). As a suggestion maybe you should add the writing direction to the top options. I would not have thought to check the right click menu for anything other than cut/copy/paste, spell ch

What I would like to do it write in both a RTL language and a LTR language: (second line is a translation of the first) Hello, world! שלום, עולם! However, the exclamation mark in the second line does not come at the end of the sentence. Thi

Any intentions on adding support for right to left languages? This is the only reason why I have a Windows 7 virtual machine with Office 13 installed. I am looking for alternatives.

I've been a bit busy but here it is. (BTW: is there a way to get HN to notify you when someone comments?) I will be talking about https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8pjd1QEA0c Student Debt. 1:11 Student debt is bad becau

What's so bad about this is it I'm using someone else's computer in a different country I can rarely stay on the English version. For example, in incognito, even after changing to the English Google, if I go to any other Goog

Based on other comments in HN it appears that a large amount of key documents have been "lost". I've never checked the source, but many threads about the files mention that.

I like it that no matter where I live I can wake up at 6, stores open by 9, and lunch is at 12. Imagine every time traveling having to ask the locals what time things happen. Also, I don't think any politician will allow their state to

I don't remember any off hand but later I will rewatch an episode and list the problems. In the meantime you could search YouTube for "John Oliver rebuttal"

Thank you for the response. I was unaware of the firewall concept. That does make what Sinclair is doing hypocritical, assuming that they claim to have a firewall (which the media should strive for).

Sinclair owns those companies. How is that any different than, let's say cnn, telling it's reporters what they can report on? I think it's bad that 6 corporations own 90% of the media, but until this changes don't expect

What is "Russian operatives"? When John Oliver says something against the current US president is that equivalent to saying that an "English operative" is "aimed at fostering division in United States"?

I don't mind that do much. What does really bother me is when I am on vacation and using incognito or another computer and all Google sites redirect me to the other countries one. Most of the time the only way to change to English is b

How about a society that has a law embedded into their Constitution stating that free speech is a right no matter who the president is?

Some vacation companies advertise that people should take loans to go on vacation. Should they be held accountable when it turns out that adding that you went on a cruise to your resume is just as useful as adding that you got a useless deg

Seeing as Hillary calls half of all the Trump voters as alt-right, and half of the voters voted for Trump, that would make 1/4 of all the voters alt-right. I guess we can now divide the American voters into 4 equal sections. Alt-left,

How could Steer Roast be cancelled? Based on my understanding of the article, Steer Roast is a 3 day party. Can't the students (18+ adults) just rent a campground nearby and have it there?

That's very generous of you. When my parents got married, my grandparents paid for their honeymoon. Had the resort where they were staying reported to their parents what they did there, they would have been outraged. Would something li

For the same reason that there is net neutrality. So that the few unelected officials don't decide what the mass is allowed to see.

So wouldn't the best thing be to make sure that no one can restrict others speech? If the law is as simple and broad as possible then we don't have to worry about the "wrong" people gaining control of the government. For

My English is not so good so I hope that I understood you. What I am trying to say is that there is no need to identify intolerant people. All that is needed is to make sure that intolerant and tolerant people do not limit free speech. Prot

How does that make sense? If a culture is tolerant and somewhat smart they can add tolerance to their constitution. By doing so they will both allow tolerance and not have to worry about anyone (tolerant people or not) taking away their &qu

There was an issue in Israel recently. In Israel usable organs from the dead are given to whoever can use it the most (compatibility + health of recipient). That includes terrorists who are in need of an organ because their organ got damage

Lets say that in this case you are right. Who decides where to draw the line between talking about Google fiber and "crowing over the death of someone"? If we were in Italy in 1610 writing that the Sun was the center of the solar
