The biggest trick the media has played on the working class is framing everything in a "right vs left" lens. There does not seem to be any resistance to this indoctrination.

That is an unpopular opinion in the same way that saying "The 40 hour work week isn't for everyone" is an unpopular opinion.

Ask yourself why any politician or media outlet who claims to be pro-democracy would fail to promote this. Way too many financial interests are involved in keeping the status quo. This is a wonderful start and a blueprint the rest of the co

I am not saying he would pardon Snowden out of morality.

How was their acquisition of Instagram and Whatsapp legal? Haven't antitrust laws broken up companies for less?

Thanks. It's very surprising there aren't viable alternatives in mobile VR by now.

Public transit was mentioned in the original comment.

The perception of first generation immigrants is a bit different than the perception of black people in the United States, generally speaking. In addition, being a minority founder doesn't mean funding is automatic. Investors still lik

Are you going to lend him $500,000 to start this business? After all, banks and investors want to make sure they invest in the right people . Wouldn't want to throw your money away at a "risky investment". Also where are the

There is a huge difference between being a classical music fan in SF and being a classical music fan in Denver or Kansas City. We're talking world-class performances.

We have arrived at why "a pretty basic backup" is no longer feasible for...any business. A hard sell for a four person business with no dedicated IT team.

Given 10,000 requests in a quarter, in order to achieve 99.9% availability, 9,990 of those requests must be successful. That leaves 10 that can fail. If two fail in a week, then only 8 more can fail for the rest of the quarter.

This is very fun and creative, although I did start getting a bit disoriented and had to exit after a few minutes. Thanks for the nostalgia trip!

Do you consider people who post on HN during working hours to he "milking the system"? Are they not also freeloaders?

I was actually surprised at how much time my elementary school curriculum spent on the Holocaust (as in multiple weeks). Never heard about Armenian and Rwandan genocides until college.
