This is a typical HN comment. People here always seem to think that laws in contracts are like code, with strict rules and consequences. It was ruled that his use was fraudulent, so it was, that's the end of it. You cannot use a contra

US does not promote values, it promotes its influence. USA went against many progressive leaders in latin America because they were about to damage the US influence and economic interest. USA is completely fine with Saudi Arabia and its val

It's like recommending a book you haven't read, and newspapers do that every day. Basically Google finds the link in other places -> oh that must be interesting, I'm indexing it, without even reading it. So they don't

Iceland is pretty damn expensive, probably one of the most expensive nature destination you can find, together with Norway (although Switzerland probably still wins the prize).

What if we sent self replicating drones going at that speed? They would gather the material they need to replicate on the way and ensure that the coverage stays the same even as they drift further a way from earth. Universe would still be a

It really depends. In Sweden speed limits are low and nobody respect them. In France they are higher and slightly more respected. In the mountains /hills they are actually way too high and nearly unreachable. Most roads are technically

This is not a "council politician". This is the german equivalent of a governor. How many governor are shot dead in the street? After being threatened for political reasons? Or maybe you don't want to understand the issue her

I don't think evolution cares about anything really. Plenty of species live pretty miserable lives, and evolution can lead them to even more miserable lives. Evolution is not a conscious being, it is not positive nor negative, it does

Arabic/chinese/japanse subtitles work perfectly in VLC work perfectly and look much nicer tahn on Netflix for instance. I have never seen descriptive video services in any streaming service so I very much doubt it is a major issue

Inflation can hurts pretty badly pensions though, so it's not only a rich vs poor thing. And also inflation is not uniform and depending on its composition can hurt poor people much worse than rich ones. Historically I haven't fou

I don't think the quantity of work matters at all for salary. A monitor probably needs more knowledge than a driver (need to know the specifics of the product, how to fix problems etc.), and has the same downsides (long hours, not espe

Are you really sure about that? 60 000$ mortgage payment is probably more than 1 million in loan, and the property value can be double the loan (appreciation since they bought + initial payment outside of the loan). I don't exactly kno

If you pay by card it could just be handled by Visa for instance. That would be neat. And it doesn't mean you wouldn't be able to get a paper copy in addition if you want.

After trying several free floating services, I can tell you this is definitely an issue.

There is also a population that will do it BECAUSE it is illegal. And no data that I'm aware actually points towards prohibition having significant effect.

The same could be said of nuclear weapons. A weapon is by definition madr to cause harm, so it is not benign. Even hunting is not a benign act at all, which is why you need training and have a lot of regulation regarding how you can practic

The alternative to what happened in Libya was what happened in Syria basically, and it went much much worse. So all in all I wouldn't blame the Libyan situation on the intervention. Gadaffi should have just gone by itself like they did

Citation needed here. In many countries it does not happen at all. It only works if you have enough billionaires with very different interests to compete against each other. And it does not mean they will compete about everything either.

How will your train your AI for that? How far as I know there is no AI remotely able to identify the important bits, put them in context and explain them clearly. This is very far away.

Your argument would be valid if they were humans. They are not. I fail to understand why they should be treated as such. And if we consider animals equal to humans, do we send them to jail if they behave badly? Do we prevent them from being

I still don't get your point. Many countries have good investigation press and LOTS of criticism towards their government and policies. How is the US any special in that regard?

You mean expanding and improving const fn? Because the basis of const fn are already in stable since 1.31 and improved in 133.

I disagree. The article acknowledged that point and criticized the idea itself. It still talked about the man first because this is essential to understand the context and the ideology behind the idea. The tragedy of the commons leads very

The policies are targeting illegal immigrants. The hatred on the other hand targets immigrants in general. Remember the comments about mexicans?

Plenty of things are free. Free does not mean it costs nothing, it means the client does not have to pay. Just like it's free for you to move in the city but the city still has to pay for roads.

Are those questions about illegal drugs or all drugs? Can you answer you don't take drugs when you smoke or drink alcohol? What if you have Marijuana in a country where it is legal? What about alcohol in a country where it is not? Is t

Do you draw any line in relativism, or is it a holy value everybody should share? And what if I don't acknowledge it? My reason not to acknowledge it is as valid as your reason to acknowledge it by that standard. So really, nobody has

THis is actually false. School start at the same time in Spain and UK, people wake up early in Spain. One of the main reason of eating late is that it gets too hot in the beginning of the afternoon so people take a break then. Work hours ca
