>Yes, truly how terrible they are to spend money encouraging the eradication of polio. Yes, that was what the loan was for. Even if it all went to its intended purpose, that doesn'…

There's far more tax revenue than from just the oil itself. All the labour and equipment used for drilling is taxable too. Nigeria has no excuses.

Look, Nigeria is swimming in money yet remains a shithole. The Gates Foundation "donation" is only a replacement for tax money that went into somebody's pocket instead of being use…

Yet they are completely unwilling to put it to use by removing pedophilic advertising off of their trading platform: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Cute-sexy-kids-swimwe...…

Also a drop in the bucket compared with Nigeria's oil revenue. Why do they need charity to pay off the loan? This is clearly the Gates just engaging in corruption while making it l…

I'm curious what HN thinks of the current trend in languages like Kotlin and Typescript of having getters and setters masquerade as properties. Then again if you have to use access…

I know the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox do in fact practice things like abortion and contraception, but they are still highly controversial subjects and far from universally accep…

That's hypocrisy, not cognitive dissonance. Though I suppose a lot of hypocrites also experience cognitive dissonance. But if you're going to accuse someone of hypocrisy I think yo…

Yes, but in the context of upholding traditional Christian moral standards that's not an option that's on the table, and neither is using contraception. Celibacy, or to be more pre…

Surrogacy is legal in many parts of the world, and the women are often not in a good position to resist pressure to have abortions.

Celibacy means you won't have any children. Same reason why a carrier of the Huntington's disease gene may choose celibacy instead of reproducing.

Don't they typically test rockets in outdoors test ranges? And aren't rockets normally supposed to be able to operate outdoors? Of course there is going to be dirt, rocks and yes, …

I just used embedded Jetty and a normal non-forking service. Why does the Java ecosystem have to make things so complicated and duplicate so much effort?
