Please provide sources, hint: make sure not to include people asking questions and not categorically wanting to lynch the horrible rapist based on a single story and you interpreting that as "creep defenders".


Hackers care about 99% of what everyone else also cares about (you know them operating in the realm of humans.) What a ridiculous point.


Yes. By Chomsky:

"Anarcho-capitalism, in my opinion, is a doctrinal system which, if ever implemented, would lead to forms of tyranny and oppression that have few counterparts in human history. There isn't the slightest possibility that its (in my view, horrendous) ideas would be implemented, because they would quickly destroy any society that made this colossal error."

Except we're seeing its horrendous ideas flourishing.


You have no evidence to be smearing someone's name and defaming them on HN in this way. Stop this behavior until there is legal grounds for doing so.


It's not defamation if it hasn't been judged so in a court of law.


Speak up HN, don't let voices like this dominate and represent you. Of course what the OP said was not victim blaming. How ridiculous! Several times the commenter expressed doubt and kept asking if he/she is wrong and how would like to be corrected if that is the case.

You come in here with the high moral ground and make such wild indignant proclamation that "men are not bears." Please take this to another community.

> How drunk someone is around another human being has nothing to do with the perpetrator’s culpability.

This is just stupid on its face. DUI exists for a reason and DUI tests are given not because police assumes the drivers, of course would, "take responsibility" and not drink, but because the police exercises common sense if an idiot driver is unable to walk a straight line.


Reminds me of "It's just a prank bro" video from Filthy Frank https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wldE_4xjVQ


What's this whole guilt shaming all about? And must the voice in the video be British and the sound of a girl on the verge of crying? Finally I don't think there is anything wrong with more farmlands in poor countries in South America. That's extremely hypocritical when the West did the same thing only a couple of hundred years ago and continues to do to this day, but oh if the poor South Americans learn how to farm on their own, the world will end.

The answer to side-effects of human progress is not stopping it, it's to accelerating the growth of technology so we can mitigate the issues we create and fix the harms the cause. F*ck Google!


Regardless of the spin put on by the video producers, the tool itself is very useful for letting people see reality, which may work to temper alarmism. If the reality is that most of the earth hasn't changed that much, then that is now available for view. And if the reality is that the Brazil rainforests really were a vast sea of dark green not long ago but are already medium-brown-looking today, then that is also now available for view.

I'm curious to see people search for the growth of the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch". I'm pretty sure most people will be surprised to find that there is nothing to see. But I'll try it out.


Well, there’s a tipping point of deforestation beyond which the Amazon rainforest might collapse.


Just because you see the RNA/DNA sequence on Github doesn't mean anything, DNA sequencing has been around since at least the early 70s [0]. Many pharmaceutical drugs already employ such techniques.

Practically most of the world is socialist can we keep the last non-socialist place on earth the same ffs


Please do not post ideological flamebait to HN. It leads to outrageously low-quality threads, like this one.

Looks at something working around the world "nah, that won't work"


What reality do you live in?


Your definition of socialism must be wild. Care to share it?


[flagged]


China is not socialist. Their economic system is state capitalism.

What now?



There are at least two super quick ways I always do calculations on a Mac first by pressing CMD+Space for Spotlight search and just typing in the math expression and in Chrome address bar without having to press the enter key.


This also works in Win10: Windows Key + S, type your query, immediate results in the start menu window.

Support fuzzy terms as well. ex. 100ml in cups
