"Prop 8 has only 1 purpose: to deny gay couples the protection of marriage." I'm sure that a certain % of individuals who voted for it also supported the institution of civil unions - that would entitle gays to same rights as

You are wrong. Both NASA and the russian space program were a part of the military complex. Since the two countries were at war with each other (Cold War) it would be rather odd for their militaries to be 'freely collaborating'.

It appears that this debate is also considered outside the voting booth. Ie most of the actual popular votes that have been held were deemed unconstitutional. So the judicial elders are settling this issue by decree.

Same here. I actually went through the process of putting the stock S4 Google ROM on my S4 and hated it - and immediately went back to Samsung (just a random thing to illustrate - ability to reboot the phone by long-pressing on the power bu

The ONLY reason HFT companies invest money to shave milliseconds is to have quicker access to orders that come into the system (this article elaborates: http://blogs.wsj.com/marketbeat/2012/09/20/collocat

I think you are conflating two types of information that can be taken advantage of: 1) Information about other orders coming into the system 2) Information about world events that may affect stock prices The whole point of HFT is extracting

Than you would probably put your time to better use by actually reading up on said details instead of penning a tangential HN comment. Because now your comment comes across as 'I have no idea what's going on, but your should do X,

Except that Crimea is already taken over by Russian soldiers. So the senate rubber-stamp is just that.

It's not a rebellion when all the fighting / military involvement is done by soldiers of another country. It's called an invasion.

"When the revolution came to Ukraine, neo-fascists played a front-center role in overthrowing the country’s president." Can stop reading here (that is if you got past the point suggested by wreegab). Pure nonsense. Next thing you

And SPLCENTER is a peddler of white guilt bent on making its founders rich: http://www.centerforimmigrationtruth.org/SPLC-follow-the-mon... How about sticking to the actual article and discussing its merits?

It appears that using the example of a super successful SV company that doesn't seem to give a toss about diversity hurts the author's premise - that it actually makes an iota of difference. He might want to start with actually ma

Wait, how can feelings of member of same ethnic group towards each other be classified as racism?

That was probably just a case of hipsterphobia.

What do you call an accurate assessment of a group that may be unflattering or unpleasant? And what if said assessment is correct in 90% of the cases - how do the 10% for whom it fails would feel?

Right - but you appreciate the difference between someone a) disliking all races different from one's own b) using one's life experience to form opinions about people and grouping them by - age / race / occupation &#x2

I think the headline is a bit misleading. Racist would mean that hosts don't want to rent their apartment to people of other races (ie whites only wanting to rent to other whites). Here it seems that hosts are making a judgement cal

Why don't you move to a real corrupt & totalitarian country - say Russia - that will make you feel better about living in the UK quickly.

A lot of fury over nothing. If someone is sufficiently bothered to even write a comment in this thread (let alone pen an original genuine article), they can opt-out - since the directions are laid out in the email I received about the news.

CES booth babes are apparently predominantly 'women'.

The men who can make money by standing around and attracting women to approach the booth are probably equally vain.

I think the author is missing one important bit - most of modern world (or at least the people who built modern technology companies) is created by people like that - middle/upper class white males who know they could take risks becaus

While I can see why 'colored' may be considered offensive, why Negro? It's just spanish/portuguese word for black. My own hunch is that the word just has too much baggage (ie rights of blacks at the time they were referr
