Never thought I'd ever say this on a hacker news comment, but this comment is pure, unadulterated BS. Rappler, as a news organization, is head and shoulders above 90% of most other news outlets in the region when it comes to factual re

In America, instead of paying taxes for socialized healthcare, people pay 2 - 3 times more to corporations because it's the American way. As a Canadian, I gladly fork over a few thousand a year to avoid tens to hundreds of thousands in

From a technological perspective, they're simply applying green solutions via battery innovation into the automotive industry. Simple as that. Anyone else can also do it, such as Chevrolet with the Bolt. What makes them different is ho

Self-interest is a valid explanation. And the question you pose is a very valid statement. I am sure that immigration poses problems when it is at the scale of modern society. Not everyone shares the same values and beliefs but the optimist

The thing is, the web will never ever catch up to native. The web is too fragmented, has too many libraries, differing philosophies and paradigms, and is too far removed from the hardware to even compete. You think you'll ever see some
