So, you judge/don't go to a whole country because of what its politicians say? The USA's president has been saying a lot of questionable things, but I don't see anyone fleeing SF..?

Sure, but he's one of them :-)

Ehm... There is no more racism in Poland than in any other country. OP is Pole (from his profile), and some Poles who left the country are bitter about their own country and campaign against it.

I wonder why entrepreneurs don't come to Poland to build their product. Warsaw or Wroclaw in particular are vibrant, tech-oriented cities where life is about 1/4 of SF. If I had to bet my future on being able to building something

Foreign meddling happens every single time. It's normal in any election. This time, since Trump won he won not because of people voting for him, but because of Russian trolls. It's just that the other side doesn't want to adm

I can spoof my address in 1 second. Are you saying that Chinese hackers and trolls cannot do the same?

Yes. That actually makes me wonder about the Pulitzer Prize, if what you're saying is true. From https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/buzzfeed/ : "overall, we rate Buzzfeed Left-Center Biased due to story selection

Can we really trust BuzzFeed with any kind of reporting? This might or might not be true, but the fact that reality mirrors what BuzzFeed says is purely coincidental.

You mean there's only 10% chance than the UK will leave the EU? That's pretty low!

I wonder why though, since she voted to stay..? I wouldn't be that excited about carrying out my competitor's plans (unless of course I wanted to sabotage them, which sometimes I wonder if she wanted to do).

Well, people vote for something and you ignore their democratic vote. Pretty bad.

Do you personally think that the UK will actually end up leaving the EU in 10 days? If yes, what are the chances of that happening?
286.
by nkkollaw 8y ago
I've had the feeling that the UK won't actually leave the EU for a while, now. Does it look like that feeling is going to turn to be right, or we just don't know..?

The best part is how _you_ are being silenced as well. I guess HN is one-sided. Certain opinions are now allowed.

Facebook is like a boring family dinner that you have to attend. Many people kind of _have to_ have a Facebook profile, but definitely check it rarely. Personally, I keep it only because I have a few apps that use their API.

Online interactions don't need to be censored. They're already regulated by the same laws that apply to normal offline interactions. If it isn't illegal, it should stay where it is without being censored. Of course, any commu
