> We live in a sad country filled with sad, fearful, unforgiving people. Maybe a blanket statement, but one that I believe to be true. I have personally found American people to be very cheerful and forgiving too. Land of second opportun

HN has become some kind of left liberal forum these days. Personally I love the negativity of reddit and I enjoy it too. Snarky, sarcastic, vulgar or insulting comments in my opinion are part of discourse too.

Pardon my use of words but I think it is foolish not to accept that there are pretty serious trade-offs involved here and there are perfectly legitimate reasons why single payer is a very bad idea. I personally think a single payer system i

Competition is very important. Government provides free education. Is there a case for private educational institutes ? Surely yes there is. Catholic schools, schools focused on gifted children, schools focused on differently-able children

I don't think like gender words too should be treated as some sort of rainbow and treated in an arbitrary fashion. There is a good reason why we humans think of "theft" as a bad thing. The author uses a "different defini

Whoever wrote that does not know what is theft. Theft is when someone forcibly takes away your wealth irrespective of what the law says. Taxation for example is undoubtedly a theft but legalized one and something that most of us don't

Prisons in America is a massive scam and so tightly linked with war on drugs. American government is like the Mafia boss while the City officials acting like henchmen. The first time I read about "civil forfeitures" I felt like so

I am not judging Zuck at all. I am just saying it is a pretty bad way to showing a leader.

Election campaigners of Trump/Hillary would cringe at this video. Zuck's body language looks bad because of the chair their are using. It is slanted and Zuck is sitting straight. It makes him look less relaxed (like a job intervie

I highly recommend Pinker's books. They will give you some rather politically incorrect view of the world. You may feel free to disagree with him but you will find them interesting read with potential to change how you look at the worl

The real issue with Yahoo! was that they focuses less on engineering and more on "we are a media company" thing. While in reality all FB, GOOG etc are media companies engineering culture is what is at the heart of their success.
