He's been pretty tough on them compared to past presidents with the 25% tariff, plus he has a sanction bill coming to his desk to sign. > The Senate just passed a bill that further sanctions China by authorizing the Treasury Departm

Ah that makes sense. I have a tinge of that but it's probably memories. Eventually we will move out when family is of less focus. We're young now so it was a good idea to have family close. Eventually we're going to move some

As a counter anecdote, I did the same thing and I love the experience. The difference is I bought a house nearby. It's actually been really nice, but I've always loved small towns and hated the city.

I'll second the statement: > And those kids are mostly boys whose social behavior is a little bit on the spectrum I a lot of us are on the spectrum, more-so than other humans. It's that puzzle gene in us that makes us want to o

Your voter registration is public record. They build this sample data by compiling huge swaths of public records and buying private data. Your political affiliation is not the worst of it, they can have the school your child goes to, the gr

Ah you used the term "slowdown-bot" so I figured you had specific knowledge. Posting 3 comments in half a day is not really testing the limits, there is plenty of chill time.

I don't disagree that everyone should think carefully about there responses to others, I certainly do. The slowdown for me is about 3 posts every 5 hours it seems. I'm not aware of the exact limits, do you know?

You misconstrued that quote, all that sentence meant was I'm fine with defending sides that I know are unpopular and will lose me karma. Most importantly to gain karma you need to choose the "correct" side, like you do. Ya&#x

My point to GP was that libertarian views are not popular, I don't really care about karma. I love discussing all topics on HN that I'm passionate and informed about, including politics. When I do see political topics (which is of

As a libertarian with -10 karma, this comment is hilariously wrong (I had a lot more before I started speaking my mind) This site, like most, is a liberal echo chamber. Though I will say it's still a decent place to have a debate as lo

The police do have weapons and armor, that's not disputed nor inherently bad. Citizens can also have weapons and armor for self-defense per our Second Amendment. Police here need those tools because there are cartels like MS-13 and oth

Change your mind of what? That police aren't all evil people? I live in a small town of 6,000 people with a 1/3rd black, hispanic, and white population and everything is fine here. It's only poorly run Democratic cities with

You seem to have a distorted view of America. You should probably live here before you pass judgement. Listening to the echo chamber here and the mainstream news that comes out of America is not the full picture.

Because those are your descriptions, which not everyone agrees with, especially since you're lumping huge groups of people together. Either way, talking about a group should not get you fired, period.

Yes I did read your next statement and many people do have that rigor, this is not something you can mindread. If you don't check the news you read then it's on you. It's certainly not so bad that we need to censor politician

Twitter is a publicly listed corporation as well (since 2013) so that argument makes no sense: https://thenextweb.com/twitter/2013/11/07/twitter-just-becam... Either way, that's a strange moral line

I was pointing out the hypocrisy and the double standard. Twitter has been in the news cycle for censoring/manipulating tweets of Trump. On HN I see a lot of people defending this decision by noting they are a private company and you c

So Twitter is a private company and can do whatever it wants but when it comes to FB making decisions about free speech we need to force them into submission? If you don't like it, move to another platform, isn't that what you guy

We shouldn't give up our freedoms because you think some people can't think for themselves. They can think for themselves, you just don't understand their thoughts & perspective through your bias/bubble. Censoring is

React isn't bound to web, there's quite a few React Native targets (ios, android, macos, windows, qt, gtk) I recommend React when making an app, web or otherwise. I recommend vanilla HTML + CSS with optional JS when making a websi

I think it's plausible someone on his social media campaign saw banners with an upside-down red triangle. I love how the goal post is moved to whether or not one existed to mind-reading WHY he might have been targeting people deliberat

That is AN Antifa symbol. I thought a couple weeks ago we were arguing whether Antifa existed or was a splintered group, now they have an official logo? The fact the logo exists and an Antifa group used an upside-down red triangle gives pla

Thank you for your anecdote, but I've posted two examples, one active FB group. It seems to be mainly a European usage, but it exists. I don't see how pointing out a symbol a group uses is attacking them. I also don't think e
