America has always been a country of self reliant individuals. What you're forgetting (and what todays "progressivists" want to erase from history) is that America was (and still is somewhat) a country with convictions, part

I hope these individuals and companies fight for and win the change they want to see in the world because I agree with them. But I hope the vote passes tomorrow and ISPs no longer fall under Title 2 regulations. A 100 year old law cannot po

You're digging into a topic I've inquired about many times. I've never received any response from any admin. Ironically my submission was flagged itself for asking why certain articles were flagged and hidden. See here Ask HN

most of the health care cost is NOT due to doctors salaries. the reason health care costs are so high in America is due to the way Providers (Hospitals, small clinics, and large Systems) charge insurance companies. Several decades ago when

That's because the insurance companies can negotiate steep discounts from eye glass providers, given they have so many members and choose what eye glass providers they can buy from "in network". So the eye glass providers up

I've met these "YIMBY" members personally, and only about 20% of them are actual home owners. The rest are renters. So first of all, it's not their backyard to say yes to. Secondly, these people are promoting the Hong Ko

I love it. They're literally trying things that have never been done before. Look, at the end of the day, these drivers can just as easily 1) go to lyft, or 2) get a "real" job. And Uber can't afford for either to happen

Honestly it's people like you who equate Trump supports with terrible people (or who equate Hillary supporters with terrible people) that are the problem. It's a spectrum of belief. Yeah there are white supremisitcs who like Trump

That's true. Opinion pieces manifest themselves in all sorts of ways on hackernews though, and it's only these high profile contentious debate pieces that get flagged, even in the face of overwhelming user engagement (see other co

Yeah, and I think it also has to do with weight of the user (more points = higher weight). That's why I'm asking this question because we give an outsized weight to higher karma users who effectively have censor power (which is a

Hackernews doesn't allow you to "downvote" submissions, but users with higher "karma" can flag posts, effectively giving the most active (or popular) users censoring powering.

Sorry I meant "flagged and hidden". Just because it's flagged doesn't mean that people can't stop commenting on it. It just doesn't show up on the front page anymore.

You're arguing against his position using hypotheticals which is an unfair comparison.

Let's hope this doesn't get flagged and buried like the "Google CEO should be fired" link. This is clearly relevant to a large percentage of Hackernews readers and bears discussion. There irony of stories related to this

We value diversity of thought. As long as it's been pre-approved by the Thought Police in HR. sorry Google, you can't have it both ways. To those thinking about leaving, trust me, you'll never look back.

Whether actors and actresses are narcissistic or not has nothing to do with the fact that this guy is super narcissistic. Look up "logical fallacy".

Look at the number of photos and angles this guy has of himself on the page. We've all seen before / after photos of people who've lost weight. I've never seen this many photos of one dude. It's super narcissistic.

Nice job and all but the sheer amount of shirtless photos at different angles just shows how narcissistic you are.

Yeah it does, you just have to have USD "tokens" on the network (ie, an ico whose tokens are backed by dollars). Then you can exchange directly through the built in decentralized exchange.
