If you don't mind, can you also give a TL:DR on why this appears on HN front page?

> It’s no coincidence the economic powerhouses in the US are also the most diverse and progressive places in the US [..] Yeah, right. This has absolutely nothing to do with being 'diverse' and progressive. I don't know wha

Yes, exactly. Really shocked, shocked to learn that there was some web scraping going on..

Interesting, isn't it? But if you think about it, that's not a pattern anyone should be unfamiliar with. History is full of it. I don't know, I really have no strong opinion here. But I think stuff like this is truly fascinat

> The US has two parallel justice systems. One is civil, the other is criminal. Yes, so far it's all pretty clear I think.. But since my reply has been to this comment: > Shkreli fought it - she took the deal. I was a bit confuse

Well, that is also my limited understanding so far.. Is it accurate to say that he broke the law by misleading his investors?

Okay, interesting. Although it seems a bit strange that this would end up in Washington at the federal level, i.e. Justice Department.. I don't think that they have to deal with just any case of fraud, even big ones. But I could be mi

Apparently. And it seems that Theranos actually gets away with it.

Oh, wow.. Honest question: I know that plea deals and other rather arcane behind-the-scenes agreements are a thing, but as someone who is not all too familiar with the American justice system, is that really the only relevant difference? So

The newspaper's reputation as a platform for liberal and left-wing editorial has led to the use of the "Guardian reader" and "Guardianista" as often (but not always) pejorative epithets for those of le

Exactly. There is still hope...

And this is how it all starts..

Silly me, being tolerant of everything...

Why even bother? All this comment you've replied to actually does is prove Thiel's point. It still amazes me that the irony is so lost on them..

This is not okay here..

I can't agree more. This is an excellent observation. Also, that last sentence. Bravo. I think this is the best allegory for conflict (or war) that I have ever seen.

Well, think of it like this: Evolution is a process, and the process is the purpose. And sometimes we end up with results that are "wrong". But this is never the end of the path.

Do you want to get burned at the stake? 'Cause that's how you get burned at the stake.

No, I don't think you're missing something here. The price for electricity is indeed very high in Germany, rising to new heights with the new year, again. The problem is, unsurprisingly, regulation and policy, i.e. the fees you al

Yes, I agree. The real cause of this issue.

I don't know if this means anything to you, but, to be honest, I somehow got the same impression from the comment in question.

"Only a thought-provoking read is a good read." Thanks for that :)

by milankovic 9y ago
Yes, that's what I meant. Thank you.

Excellent observation, this just irked me as well. > So why is it written this way? Spin, ignorance, or just bad editing? I don't know. Good question, though. A symptom of the journalism crisis in general? I can't remember whe

For images, yes. Don't think that you can zoom the text. At least I've not seen it yet. (Android App)

Yes, but surely commutativity and distributivity etc. was properly taught before? I can't speak for the situation in the US - and it's been a while for me -, but I remember that we were learning this stuff in that way, and these t

I know your pain.. But are you talking about the Medium App? Or just viewed with a mobile browser?

by milankovic 9y ago
That is some excellent advice. I agree wholeheartedly.

Well, that is really a surprise. You are right, never would have thought that. Why is that, can you shed some light on this eventually? I would like to know some background here.
