    I can't tell if this actual news or a conspiracy theory? It's amazing how an industry that whines about conspiracy theories loves to peddle them. This article/opinion had nothing s…

    I didn't realize microsoft was in the "protect freedoms" business. That's worrying. Last time someone tried to "protect freedoms", millions of innocent people's lives were destroye…

    Your first claim would make sense if humans were herbivores and could survive on grains, wheat, etc that are fed to livestock. We can't because we aren't cows. As for #2, a vegan d…

    AMAs, like everything on social media, used to be great years ago when it was raw and relatively uncensored. Now it's just an ad platform for people and their PR team to push their…

    It's sad that you are being downvoted. This is a legitimate question especially considering the history of science and just history in general. We used to wipe out all kinds of ani…

    I used to be a vegan so I see their angles. It's easy to spot. All I did was just refute the supposed "ethics" of veganism. It's not an accusation, it's a refutation. Not sure why …

    There is no such thing as an "ethical vegan". Veganism is unethical by definition. A vegan eats more animals than a carnivore because every vegan meal is full of insect, rodent, sm…

    You should hold it against them because veganism ( and to a lesser degree vegetarianism ) is morally wrong as it the most environmentally destructive and the most unnatural healthy…

    A lot of health study regarding food is junk "science" because a lot of them are funded by companies, industry, special interest groups or charlatans trying make money by selling y…

    I just listened to it during lunch and that was my first thought. What are the odds?

    1 million lines of code in 1000 pages would come out to 500 lines of code per side of page. You'd need a big magnifying glass to get through that. The book covers an old version of…

    It's semantics to say community guidelines serve to support a wide range of people and not behaviors. It has the same effect. It will drive away people who do not fit your definiti…

    So what if people communicate with each other? That's the point of the internet and has been forever. That's like blaming telephones for outrage. What does Q have to do with outrag…

    Is it social media or the news? Is it CNN, Foxnews, NYTimes, BuzzFeed, Huffpo, MSNBC, etc or social media? Did rolling stone intentionally lying about campus rape cause the problem…

    When we are talking about toxic, I think we all understood it meant behavior. And the point of community guidelines isn't to make it the community more inclusive, it's actually to …

    ICBMs stand for InterContinental ballistic missile. Intercontinental being the key word. Last I checked both china and japan were on the same continent.

    I disagree. Let passionate people on all sides have their say. I think it's more toxic to stifle passionate people. It's amazing how everyone from Steve Jobs to Bill Gates to Linus…

    He isn't wrong since most linux servers run on x86 architecture and obviously most windows desktops run on x86 architecture. To your last point, if that is true, then what will the…

    Firstly, you are repeating propaganda you've heard in the media that simply isn't true. From the founders til today, the US has been highly anti-immigration. Secondly, population g…

    I'll say it again. Foreign born != H-1B visa. Like I said, most of the foreign born workers in silicon valley are people who immigrated to the US as children. You used to lie about…

    I have and even more, I know people who work in silicon valley. Have you been there? Ignoring the fact that "90% of tech workers there were born outside the USA" is absolutely fals…

    Why do you post the same lies in every H1B related thread? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19156756 As I corrected your lies in that thread, I'll correct them here as well. H-…

    I think the H1B should be ended entirely. What incentive is there for corporations and the government to invest in its own people when they can just import workers. Not only that, …
