How many times per a car lifetime are you visiting your parents? Perhaps these $750/trip would be more economical if you don't drive much. Also, I am curious, why don't you take a plane for such a long trip?

Unpopular? Really? "Advertising is bad" is one of the most supported memes on HN.

When I talk to anyone who starts raging about ethics of advertising, I often ask: are you talking about deontological or consequentialist ethics? Because that changes everything. Also, do you not understand that entities buying and selling

Oil brought quality of life in Russia to a pretty nice level, despite Putin corrupt government, not because of him. Most people conform to a majority opinion. Its dangerous to be publicly against Putin and new russian militarism. http:&#x

Sure, I don't disagree with that. It is absolutely surreal how much funds were embezzled through the Olympics, for one example. http://www.businessinsider.com/why-sochi-is-by-far-the-most-...

Yes, based on your argumentation, your anonymous profile and your posting history, there is a big chance that you are paid to post here. Don't really care about your opinion, but other HN readers should know about the situation with Ru

Just stop this craptastic argument of "every government is the same". Another favorite argument taken directly from putinbots social media guidance. And stop using strawman arguments. No government is perfect but there are degrees

Ah, yes, what about the USA. The favorite argument of putinbots. Because there are no other countries in the world, right?

"Keep the money here"? That's for filthy peasants, noblemen of Russian bureaucracy hold their savings overseas.

"Who can decide whether to ignore the communication" Wow... Not understanding basic theories of communication and human irrationality that doesn't allow lots of data to be processed and accepted without critical thought. &quo

Are you even serious? Stating that mass media manipulation is overt and identifiable... The HN stopped to be self-correcting if one happens to hate Facebook, Google or LinkedIn.(not that I like them personally)

And again, US has the largest per capita number of prisoners in the whole 190 countries. Most of these prisoners are in prison for drug-related charges. Think about that. Yes, SWAT attacks are not happening on every single street, but gover

Your stakeholder analysis is not complete. Cops profit. Lawyers profit. DAs profit. Tough-on-crime politicians profit. Religions profit. Government profits. Political parties profit. Basically, the whole establishment profits from maintaini

Isn't it obvious? Adoption of skills depends on the ecosystem of practitioners. Empirically, we are observing that women do not copy social behavior of the male part of the ecosystem and do not engage the subject of programming/co

Many posters here criticize the a anti-sports bias, but perhaps this bias is useful to an individual and a humanity? Popular games became popular because of the path-dependent random development some time ago, should we continue on with the

Perhaps, strawman would be a better characteristic of your post as you were trying to distort the argument of other party. And no, it doesn't seem strange to me that people are pushing women to learn coding. Coding skills provide great

Nope. If you have a clear conversion event for branding campaign, then you have more data about the efficiency of the raising awareness campaign. For example, a visitor stayed more than 60 seconds on the about us page or a visitor watched

>Most people either don't enjoy thinking, or are bad at it. Elaborate on the definitions and prove that with a scientific study. The arrogance here is outrageous.

It is a protection racket ONLY if they are aiding or doing the attacks. I don't see how protecting a company from DDoS attacks is a protection racket by itself, care to elaborate?
