You could replace the orcs in lotr with the germans, and their leader as sauron. Does that make lotr racist? I don’t think so.

I don’t know of a monkey-like humanoids in the real world. Humans look very much different from monkeys, esp from the ones in the illustrations. That is really a long shot.

I really don’t follow this, on a similar absurd reasoning one could claim elves in lotr are racist because the have light skin.

It’s just a story set in a fantasy world. If you mean to it’s always possible to twist anything into being offensive.

I wonder: if the US spend and then inflate the debt down to reasonable levels (in terms of buying power) they got a lot of stuff from china basically for free, right?

What is racist about inventing a fantasy race in a fantasy world? Please elaborate.

I would assume an estate pays on net value, so as the borrowed amount gets deducted no tax is paid on this amount.

You can both reduce unit price in comparison to the market and make tons of money. Happens all the time. The t-model is a prime example.

Shocking, does this happen regularly in Germany? Is this something you experienced yourself?

I am pretty sure among hunters there was a very strict pecking order and I am glad to live in the system we have today.

How about this:

Idea: we can grab this land with our troops (assume this is 100% based in reality)

Delusion: 0%

Conviction: idea was checked, is aboslutely correct

Power: 100%

=> Evil = 0 * 100 * 100 = 0

I think the categorical imperative is a way better tool to recognise evil.

This response would have benefited from a more humane wording. I wish the tone on HN would be less hostile. Just shows that some help wording things can be a useful tool.

There are numerous ways for a purely self-serving employee to give the appearance of creating benefit to the company while doing as little as possible. Emplyoment in general only works because the employees in many cases actually care about the quality of their work and not only about themselves.

There is no way for executives to create a well working company if the employees think of nothing but themselves.

How would that work?

Which region of the world do you live in? Also air-air and air-ground were not an option? These are more readily available.

Traits that are not beneficial to the individual will die out, the kind of group selection this process would require is implausible at best.

I would assume that the kind of personality your are referring to is adaptive for the individual as well, especially the mild variants.

Please add a note that this is in Spanish.

Why is 26 weeks two years of pay?

Aren’t renewables already more cost effective than nuclear?

See for example here: https://energycentral.com/c/ec/comparing-costs-renewable-and...

Storage issues might be solved before new nuclear plants go online at the current pace of progress.

Perhaps a few years of gas until the renewable infrastructure is set up will suffice? At least the issue does not seem to be as clear cut as most people claim they are.

I think you are missing a step in the proof. That could still be a composite, see here: https://newbedev.com/understanding-euclid-s-proof-that-the-n...

There is an OR in the statement, ie purpose is only one part of the condition.

I don’t see how this is getting us closer to the singularity. The original title is much more suitable.

Why is this political stuff on hn? Please keep the politics to twitter.

Or the story is simply not true.

Why is this relevant for HN?

Greenpeace Energy is selling methane generated by electrolysis from wind energy.
