   This is map is outdated, the situation is changing rapidly. There are now more than 10 government centers occupied by protesters. Mass protests are occurring nearly in all regions of Ukraine. BTW, good news! "Dictatorship laws" we

   Certainly yes. There is no or very little aggression towards Russian speakers in Lvov.

   As a Russian speaking Ukrainian, participating in protests, living in Kiev that considers this quote by Albert Einstein to be very true "Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind", you are so full of shit.

   ^^ This comment is misinformation. More than 10 regional administrations are currently under control of protestors and there are mass protests in most regional centers in Ukraine. This is a map of protests. http://inspired.com.ua

   Enterpreneurs care. And I mean really care. Because ranking equals their cashflow, simple as that. And hackers are the best to ask for advice when searching for a complex engineering problem. That explicit desdain for SEO is misguided, at b

    Markets are emergent phenomena from trading and ownership. Most cultures independently came to establishing various types of markets, so I'd argue that yeah, until we are not in a post-scarcity society, markets are natural

    Yes, the scale is unique for many reasons, one of the most important being that most of internet backbone including consumer services are located in the US jurisdiction. Your pro tip is worth nothing.

    Pravda? I don't think so. Could you please point to proof that there are areas where teachers get $1000/day compensation?

    Your comment seems hypocritical to me. Ofc, you're bashing guys by stating that 95% of men on dating sites send creepy messages. And ofc, you're comparing those creepy guys to ethical self and stating emphatically: "I am NOT

    As a foreigner, comments like yours make me question my assumption that regular Americans are not responsible for the atrocities committed by USG. Why is anyone upset? I don't know, people don't want to be spied on? Hmm, yes, that

    Google and most other tech companies never sell your personal data to advertisers. Google provides advertisers an opportunity to pay to engage Google users and get a piece of their attention on Google platforms. The actual user data as in p

    I guess you shouldnt consider HN comments and Google+ jokes to be representative of general population or even elusive "techies" audience. Even more, HN is so different in comparison with HN a few years ago. However, I agree with

    Yeah, honestly, I wasn't entirely constructive and that was wrong. I was irritated by your "...we are now a species that can't even figure out what to eat for ourselves...". It is certainly only my interpretation, but yo

    That is actually a very good point. With all the lamenting of Google Reader sunsetting, positive externalities are ignored. And they are plentiful: multiple startups have springed up to compete for new audience, established companies like F

    Please educate yourself on choice paralysis and its implications, learn about the fundamental reasons (cognitive capacity, cognitive bias, etc) and only then worry about our wonderful, adapting, intelligent species.

    Do you really think burglars could not get their hands on leaked government agency database? This is just another excuse to throw feces at Google, and HN commenters just don't miss any possible opportunity to do that.

    Learn your definitions, will you? Violence is "the intentional use of physical force or power, threatened or actual, against oneself, another person, or against a group or community, which either results in or has a high likelihood of

    Well, ok then. In general user value and investor value are orthogonal to each other. In closed-source, proprietory, vendor locked-in products there is a conflict of interests between value for investors and value for users. I just don&#x27

    My tone is a reflection of parents tone, no more, no less. I've even used the same phrase. I won't argue with you as I think our axioms differ: I consider freemium necessary good, not evil and I don't think that anyone forget
