Don’t you guys also do a pledge of allegiance and other weird stuff? Also, in most every other country, the national anthem is only ever sung when the country is playing an outside country not for internal competition.

California does not require proof of legal status to get a driving license. I think the license is just eligible in California afterwards. I had one for a while while I was waiting for my visa to be processed.

Article is awful but linters are amazing and default linting is beautiful. If you’ve coded as long as I have you’ll remember the endless bike shedding about style and random garbage that ended up in code bases. 2 spaces in a tab or 4? Who g

Huh? How would they know to make a fuss. They aren’t even notified, they are shadow banned.

Very much so and it all happens with zero transparency, explanation or acknowledgement, very sus. Your account can also be effectively shadowbanned with everything you submit going straight to the “dead” pile. Again no explanation and the o

I think that marking the actual post as "flagged" or "censored" would make it clear what is happening. A big banner across the top so that everyone on the post knows that their comments don't matter and they have be

I've become very concerned lately with the censorship on hacker news. The only way I found this page was by attempting to post the url. It's been essentially banished from the site, without even a comment on this thread about what

More people in tech need to speak up. It really does feel like the silence is deafening. For those who think that we should "keep out of politics", that has clearly never been our way before and shouldn't be our way now.

There is an interesting explanation for this. Instead of thinking of apv what matters to your body is more the “retained alcohol” over a period of time. Your body can process something like a 4% beer every hour, so drinking one 4% beer an h

Does everyone else have a subscription to the Washington post? Could we just have a system where we don’t post pay walled articles? It seems hacker news community members are okay with posting web archive links (there are none here) in the

what is the difference between the two definitions ? btw, we've somehow been back-watered here on the site. I can't even find this thread in my profile, and it's only shown on the main page for this comment as a part of anoth

You make a joke but you've hit on something. I would argue that the American model is "fettered" migration (also apparent in gulf states and plenty of other countries), that is you allow illegal immigration but use it as a st

It's relevant for a sense of perspective for the majority of people who are reading this page (because they come from the US). People quote articles like this in the US to pretend that the EU is suffering from some dystopian crime wav

Seems there have been 77 grenade explosions resulting in 9 fatalities in 6 years with grenades in Sweden. That doesn't seem like "vast quantities".

ok I've updated it to show that I mean "fatal" assault by firearms. Quick google search brings up the following "All in all, there were 77 incidents of detonated hand grenades in Sweden during the six-year observation pe

this is one of those statements that is too ambiguous for the internet. It's hard to know if you are being sarcastic? Attempting satire? Or you are trying to make a joke, or genuinely don't know what you are talking about. So, can

14.6 firearm deaths per 100,000 (146 per million) , about 54% suicide, 43% murders (the rest accidental and law enforcement). Comes out to about 62 deaths per million, rate here is about 5.5 so 62 / 5.5 = 11.27X Source ( https:/&#

While this does indeed sound like a problem for Sweden and something they will have to fix, it's worth pointing out that by my calculation the US fatal assault by fire arm rate is 12X the rate that is causing a crisis in Sweden.

I guess I just don’t like BS in all its forms. I don’t like nonsense PR stories or myths about people’s extraordinary prowess. I just respond badly to BS and these statement have obvious BS if you stop for even a second to think about them.

So why even claim he did 80 hours a week coding, while also being the chairman of the board? Can we get a pllleeeeeeaaaase???? He’s clearly a terrible programmer and/or a terrible chairman and to be honest this news says he’s at least
