Why? All were against the law at one time, and emigration to avoid the impact of the law was possible. (C.f. the Madagascar plan.) Thus, the preconditions of markoffs argument apply. If the conclusion is outrageous, it's a flaw in his

I think yupyup is referring to the fact that all types must be explicitly annotated. (I favor this and explicitly annotate most of my types in Haskell and Scala. Makes reading easier. But I did occasionally find it annoying in Java when it

So Italy's law is basically "be extremely inefficient and don't compete with political insiders". In the US we had similar rules enforced by armed men - don't compete with the Lucchese in the Bronx, the Genovese in

I would also like to move to another country where I've contributed nothing, and then have taxpayers in that country give me free stuff. Maybe next time I need medical work done I can stop in the Italy, have the Italian taxpayer pay fo

I can name one: Darcs. It was my favorite certain control system, apart from the lack of scalability.

It's similarly rational to be more wary of your health when dealing with the refuse of a normal (non-prostitute) gay man. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5937a2.htm?s_cid... Consider a compar

Other things covered by this case include leaks identifying corrupt behaviors, allegations of sexual harassment such as Susan fowlers, and evidence of human rights violations that the authorities wish suppressed. Or various right wing ideas

It may be a problem on Twitter, but there is no reason to believe it's a problem on p2p social networks.

I have no idea why you bring up the government - no one besides you is discussing government censorship. Are you attempting to steer the conversation towards a discussion of your libertarian principles?

There is no abuse problem on the platform, or rather any abuse problem on the platform is already a solved problem via existing techniques (e.g. standard ML classifiers). Consider SMTP, which is a true peer-to-peer system. In SMTP, abuse is

That's net positive - an increase in some subjects and neutral in others.

My 1 year old nephew also owns more than all the people with debt > assets combined. 3 billion x negative number < $0. Such a crisis of capitalism.

This is a bunch of cool sounding scientific nihilism, but it's false. Nclb was a great attempt to manage academia and it worked. http://www.nber.org/papers/w15531 http://www.nber.org/papers/w2

Users game the system all the time. Call an Uber then get in a taxi which drives by before the Uber comes. That's what the cancellation fee is about. A policy you dislike is not an argument for regulation. It's an argument for you

The countervailing data sources are the very sources cited by the articles. For example, the actual study cited by the first article says 39% of colleges expect a decrease in international enrollments, 35% expect an increase, and the remain

I'd disagree pretty strongly with this. Here's a couple of NYT examples: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/16/us/international-students... After reading this article, do you think colleges overal

This makes no sense. I open up Uber and tell my destination, and Uber tells me 87₹. I press confirm and that's it. If the network goes down it's still 87₹. In contrast, a traditional taxi meter allows the cabbie to take a circuito

So what are the sensible reasons? Can you provide any beyond vague speculation and "maybe"?

Given that the trend has so far been upward only, why do you believe it will suddenly reverse and take us to Somalia?

by yummyfajitas 10y ago
Scroll up. You compared us to Somalia. In Somalia, they don't have all these things. I'm not sure how you believe it's possible that consumption is up while compensation is stagnant and prices are higher. Could you explain

by yummyfajitas 10y ago
Nope. College enrollment has never been higher. Your source claims it is less "affordable", but clearly far more people can afford it. Weird. http://www.mybudget360.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04&#x2

If you think things are so bad, surely you can name a single good or service that westerners have less of today than they had in 1970. What is that good or service?

That's actually not true. The number of people living in absolute poverty (for various definitions of it) has gone down drastically. http://ourworldindata.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/ourworl...

I doubt any one but you thought I meant that CEOs make more money than 300x ALL their workers, but er, thanks for the clarification anyway. You are completely misinterpreting me. I was not arguing against this claim at all. The statistic

by yummyfajitas 10y ago
The statistic you are citing doesn't say CEOs don't make 300x their workers. It says they make 300x the average worker. Between 1978 and 2014, inflation-adjusted CEO pay increased by almost 1,000%, according to a report by the

The only way I can see to do this is to not openly state unpopular opinions. Is that really what you are telling me to do? HN is no longer open to ideas that the hecklers wish to veto? Or is there some alternate option you are aware of whic

Yeah, the idea of living in an advanced civilization and learning new things sounds horrible! I hope I never need to leave the place I was born or be exposed to new cultures. That would be so awful! (Oh wait, I'm writing this from a ci
