I totally agree with the recommedation of Red Plenty. It's really a lucid set of stories about the Soviet system. I can't say I really knew a lot going into it, but it doesn't fall into the trap of saying "damn commies&q

I think that the interest here on HN would be similar for education in a long-lasting fascist (or whatever kind of brutal) state's scientific system. I really don't see the interest here as a moral statement on communism, but rath

I hate to feed the troll but... What the hell are acidic or low oxygen environments, and "stagnant energy"? Do you think that the environment is getting less oxygenated, or more acidic? Is our world getting more stagnant? I got th

In what world is the democratically elected government of Mr. Poroshenko, a "US-installed junta"?

The US isn't at Russia's borders — Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and all the rest are. Their freely elected democratic goverments decided that aliging with the US was a good idea.

You can blame the American healthcare system, but the idea that people don't get immediate life-saving treatment is simply not true. They will get the immediate treatment that they need. It might be more complicated, expensive, and pai

That rate for pregnancy that you quote is not per-use - it's for an entire year of imperfect (normal) condom usage. With better sex ed and more knowledge that can further be reduced substantially. Plus, Lutherans and other christians

As a fellow owner of the 8X, it's still a pretty awesome smartphone. The antenna sometimes is a little glitchy on 4G, but it's still comparable for me to more modern phones. I am really awaiting another well-designed Windows Phone
