Forced labour means profit for someone. That is far too close to slavery to avoid major value clash, so it will hide itself to present a respectable face. Corruption is inevitable. You'll end up with judges sentencing children for prof

When I lived in the city and cycled a lot, I had led strips on the forms and handlebars and red ones on the rear stays. Because it's my understanding too that it's important to project a shape. Cost and time was minimal.

Ugh. That happened to me when I dated a Chinese girl. She poisoned us both. I was too young and callow to put my foot down.

_sigh_ The common theme I see in all these happy HN contributors getting their panties in a twist over affirmative action is that transactions exist in America that discriminate against white people: for a given promotion, a black person is

Yes, you absolutely should fix the funding gap in schools. 100%. I was really liking your comment until I got to the self-pitying complaints about being called a racist. The alt-right likes to call progressives "cucks". There are

I value free speech too. But. Free-speech absolutism is a position you might rethink if you had panzerkampfwagens rolling over your fields in living memory. Visit Auschwitz, then have a think. And fwiw, there are limits to free speech in th

Not sure about Ireland, but in the UK, the TV license funds the BBC. Until the Tories made that DG a political appointment and the political coverage went to shit, I found that quite fair. I've also spent the bulk of my life neither pa

The levers don't do exactly the same things; devaluing currency helps exports, for example. There's also the political cost. I'm in favour of democracy in the ideal case, but obstructionism looks like a concern in some countr

3-way conflict visualisation is excellent. It allows you the original parent as well as the current and incoming. Saves so much faff figuring out how to resolve a conflict. https://medium.com/@karol.rossa/git-3-way-merg
