I say, something from 2008 or 2011 (I can't read American dates) is remarkably old?

But the floppy disk has already disappeared completely in practice...

I don't see how priority to the right (which is not about courtesy) can lead to ambiguity in Sweden (don't know about the rest of Europe). The person coming from the right has prio…

It is with great schadenfreude I read articles like these. For 40+ years SF bohemians have been preaching diversity. Anyone who saw his own community ravaged was denounced as a rac…

Please check your privilege. Not everyone whose preferred pronouns are he/him/his is male.

> As a white, heterosexual, cis, male, I’m granted, from birth, an extraordinary amount of privilege. One part of this privilege is the ability to make aloneness a choice; rarely, …

They could use other languages whose alphabets don't end at Z. Åksjuk Ångström, perhaps.

Can you imagine saying that you don't want to read the opinions of negroes or women? No? You should stop being such a racist and give white men the same courtesy you give everyone …

Why shouldn't my culture be privileged in my country? I understand that you British are almost done giving away your country for some bewildering reason, but I certainly don't want…

> There's no excuse for not contributing. My effective income tax rate is 50%, and then there is an additional 25% VAT on everything I buy. How much more of my income does the all-…

I just want to take this moment to point out to all the good little leftists of HN that we can learn so much from tribal life in Papua New Guinea: http://www.guardian.co.uk/science…

This is not the answer HN is looking for, but Iceland is safe because it's full of Icelanders. England was safe when it was full of Englishmen. Not anymore. Sweden was safe when it…

Yes, we do enjoy our 50-60-70% tax rates here in Europe. Thankfully Sweden recently stopped pissing away the Swedish taxpayers' money by paying for the university education of fore…

I used to do this when I worked for the post office (not in the US) and it was by far the dullest thing I have ever done. Truly loathsome work. It was referred to as "coding". Ther…

I don't think you've thought that through. A straight-out bachelor tax would simply make bachelors work less. Tax revenue would fall, and there would be even less money for you lef…

I see I hit a sore spot. I don't really want to remove childbearers from the workforce, but I do want a frank discussion about who bears the costs. Actually, just an admission of t…

> Women should have the right to take lengthy maternity leaves And the cost should be borne by single men.

Presumably a propaganda piece designed to win over the remaining 50% of the American voters who still haven't bought into the idea that the Democratic party can turn the US into a …

Really now. He doesn't blame "the Chinese" as you would have us believe; he blames one particular Chinese.

> Yes, if proven they would cease to be sexist, because they'd be discriminating based on facts, not based on his apparent prejudice. (However, since the conjecture does seem to co…

> No, he should disregard them because as written they're sexist, and don't even have good methodology to try and stand in their defense. So... If he had a sufficiently good method…
