There are many reports of international students having their statuses, i.e. permission to stay in the US, revoked for being involved in legal matters. The wording of the revocatio…

When I made that comparison, I did not mean to bring politics into the conversation, but I assume it is a natural direction people can take it too. I will just say this: the issues…

For me, I guess it was the experience with the public transport, the cleanliness of the city, the way everything was built to interact with your phone seamlessly and automatically …

It is both amazing and sad to see China is literally in the future compared to the US in terms of infrastructure and social development. A trip to one of the major cities in China …

Comments or opinions like yours are the reasons why I think my hypothetical scenario is possible. It is too easy to view everything as "nothing new, already done in some way" and i…

Wait until they declare nonresidents are not entitled to properties in the US and seize all bank accounts and 401k, USSR style. The scariest thing, and most absurd to me, is that e…

Sound scary but when looking at the facts, it is probably reasonable. Both the university, the court, and the lawyer seem to not raising any fuss yet, signaling that whatever this …

It is social engineering. The art of manipulating the public through social media is a very developed field by now. It is made even easier through the abuse of "volunteer moderator…

To those flagging all these articles because of "not relevant" or "repetitive", please consider how these are affecting thousands or ten of thousands of real humans in the US, most…

Long, thin strands of polymer are the backbone of life, which is one of the most, if not the most, complex forms of matter the universe has ever created. Spaghetti is the same type…

I predict this will be flagged...

The fact that it was officially invoked at all is already a point of discussion. This is an act that can suspend the constitution as the executive branch see fit. Nobody has ever t…

I think the common reasons are: Not worthy of HN discussion; (claimed to) likely to devolve into unrelated/heated arguments, and against HN rules. Just that I don't agree this topi…

Before flagging, please consider how this act has not been invoked since WW2. Therefore it is a novel and worthy of discussion, regardless of how "not technology related" it is.

When the legal system is setup to rely so heavily on money that even the government can't go against it, you know shit is bad, yo. Also, say what you will, but the US situation rig…

One way to interpret the results here is that all the building blocks of life can naturally be formed right here on earth or anywhere that has conditions similar to where Bennu cam…

It can be easy to forget but bacteria is omnipresent in everywhere human can ever be, and even beyond. It is not possible to scrub every trace of bacteria if the goal is ever to ha…

Nobody would fire themselves or their close friends/colleagues. But they would also want less work and delegate responsibilities. So if left alone, admins would have all the incent…

It is a trust fund basically. From what I uderstand, the principal is nearly impossible to use/withdraw and you can only use the interest/returns generated from investing the princ…

Nah, we will just have cyberpunk dystopia. It is the next social structure that can scale higher.

What do they mean by "fight"? The original text is very vague about it. How did they fight? Is there any other independent record of such a large scale event? Any resulting discuss…

I would argue that is the optimistic scenario, where there are effective efforts or attempts to mitigate the problems. I do not see such effective efforts in the US.

This is interesting with some quite prescient predictions especially on the date they could happen. But it is also wrong on some call outs. Still, it is sobering to see how there h…
