“Hubris and self hatred?” Can’t disagree on our hubris, but self-hatred? I can’t think of any time more narcisist than ourselves! I want it rebuilt as close to the original because…

Yeah, and a some of us are still annoyed that Mussolini razed a neighborhood and destroyed Rome just to build a modern boulevard.

Because that’s hard.

Far more faithful to the original than a glass roof. The guy who did the spire did add his own touch (like any cathedral that took several centuries to build). But with subtlety! T…

There is no more humility. Nothing is holy anymore. Why can we rebuild it the way it was (as much as possible) and make the fire (and therefore ourselves) an asterisk in the Cathed…

So? Better a far away government w/ little ability to harm me reading my txt than my local government.

Agreed. I don’t want to buy an iPhone. But I really don’t want to buy Google. Now I’m looking for a dumb phone.

Guys, thanks for all the refrences!

DSSP, what’s so special about it? I sense LISPers and Forthers sense of “enlightenment” (which I have not obtained). But what is so special about DSSP that it’s considered a genera…

What I wish the Russian speaking HN readers would provide some history or documentation on is: - Setun, a ternary (as opposed to binary) computer - DSSP, a Forth like language that…

I wasn’t making a value judgement; just stating that my land vale does affect my taxes

Hence the “de jure” Anyway it’s complicated. Some in ROC want independence. Some don’t. Some would like to join Beijing (many investors from ROC). Most probably want the whole thin…

Well I don’t think they should be down voted, but it is wrong. Taiwan is de-jure a part of China. China just happens to be in the curious state of having two competing entities cla…

No but the assessor can - and in every place I’ve owned property, does - give you a breakdown. Heck, the breakdown is required information in your federal taxes if you want the dep…

“The difference matters” I don’t see how, but I don’t fully understand how your assessment works. My city’s assessment is close to the market value [1] for the whole property, so i…

Parents are hard to cut off. My parents are as paranoid as I am (grew up in a US enabled dictatorship) so it was easy to get them to use Signal. If they weren’t so cool, I’d use FB…

It is. In my city at least. And at the federal level for landlords as well. My local taxes depend on my land value + my house value. Larger land, (or more desirable) more taxes. In…

What’s the problem with Christian or comic bookstores? Do the same problems apply to the Muslim or Jewish bookstore in my neighborhood? Should I be concerned with them - there’s fu…

For the property owner they are

“Coal” plants burn carbon, making carbon dioxide. It’s colorless and pretty much harmless, excepting it’s inpact as a GHG. However, coal contains (depending on the source), mercury…

He’s not a troll (I.e. OP is sincere, not just trying to provoke) he’s probably a libertarian that forgot that HT usually refers to forced prostitution. (As opposed to coyotes movi…

“Fortunately, EFF is an organization that definitely knows its rights and how to exercise them.” Exactly. Of all the orgs to send a BS take down notice to, the EFF would be the las…

He’a worth more for the Russians inside.
