It doesn't take much to write a single paragraph, though. I think the quality of their response will become much more clear later.

I personally don't have a ton of trust in polls like that (referring to the Russian one). It is a strong claim to make that Putin is more popular in Russia than Biden in the US.

Let's be honest, most of the HN crowd probably has a paywall blocker extension. That, or they just turn their cookies off and the website can't keep track of how many articles they…

It sounds to me like you do agree with them. The OP wasn't saying Americans feel wealthier, but rather that the quality of life relative to the past is higher.

Libgen added a feature to download files with ipfs. It is ridiculously faster than a normal download.

I don't think that merely being a good writer will allow him to be "quoted beyond the lifespan of his contemporary readers." I agree with OP that I really don't see anything specia…

You've completely changed the direction of the argument.

You're right, I could have phrased it better.

I have a Firefox extension called bypass paywalls.

You're missing my point on purpose. I am trying to say there is a contradiction in what you are saying. You claim to want companies to move into impoverished areas, but also say do…

It's happened more at the elementary school level.

Collective bargaining is 100% better than individual bargaining. But, collective bargaining is only a single aspect of unions. They're not voting against it because they dislike co…

What a pretentious thing to say. Maybe your critical thinking is eroded if you refuse to try to understand why people would vote against a union. I'm not saying you have to agree w…

So your issue is specifically with the mindset of the company, not the actions themselves? Why would a company ever do anything out of the goodness of their hearts? Shouldn't we ju…

If college is free (or loans are forgiven), people who never went to college would have to subsidize those who did. If healthcare is free, people who are healthy have to pay health…

Anecdotal evidence, but I did well on the SAT and spent very little money. I bought a few books, but easily could have pirated them online (like I did for all of my AP tests previo…

I bet the author of his article will change their tune if someone makes them do an interview with a game they don't have any experience in, like chess, kerbal space program, OpenTT…

Certainly, but it was a burden in that it took away an unnecessary privilege. The point of the boycotts was ultimately not to put an extra burden on others to remind them of their …

Fighting for people's rights does not put an unnecessary burden on other people. Rosa Parks wanted to allow black people to ride anywhere on the bus, not make white people stand up…

I can't take your argument seriously. Simply throwing up your hands and saying, "This theory exists, but it wasn't addressed in the article!" is ... well, not worth a lot.

Because they would always get social services. Undocumented children can get financial aid for college, for example, in California. While the thing you're saying sounds reasonable …

Bank Holiday is an American thing too. FDR declared one in response to bank runs in the Great Depression.

Hezbollah isn't the PLO, they were formed out of Shia militia groups from Lebanon's previous civil wars, not to help the Palestinians. Lebanon absolutely does not have the Palestin…
