Sure, let's just starve your family to death and then laugh about it and see if you only consider it "abhorrent when viewed against the current, moral zeitgeist". It's amazing how people will not only downvote, but flag the posts here that go even a teensy bit against their propped up beliefs. And I thought the hn crowd was supposed to be discerning.

Hitler is not praised the way Churchill is in mainstream.

Why not? If it's the time and place to praise him, then so is the time to point out his wrongdoings.

Not exactly sure what tripped you up. The palm is facing downwards, but the hand motion is opposite and easy to tell even if you're a foreigner. Source: am foreigner living in Japan

Trump, like it or not, is an elected official and I doubt he understands very much about tech to make that decision on his own.

demagoguery is just beyond the fine line...

not sure if this applies in states, but here in Canada, the graduate studies simply see more international students because local students are more interested in working rather than continuing education beyond an undergrad degree.

Stuff like this gives me some hope. Where states like China have complete surveillance and control over their citizens, and that's where other fascist states seem to be headed, at least in western countries we are having these debates. And even though it seems like an ever-losing battle, my hope is that we can all be educated enough and band together on things that unite us to fight back against surveillance society controlled and abused by the powerful few.

I don't see how it's not alarming for Indians that one key person/company connected to the govt is the sole beneficiary of incoming businesses into India.

Taliban moved into Iraq after Saddam's fall. Yes I do agree that it was Bush administration's fault for toppling him and letting the mayhem loose, but to say that Americans killed a million iraqis is disingeuous.

Americans didn't kill those Iraqis. Please stop spreading lies. China, on the other hand has no qualms about committing a large scale genocide against not just non-hans, but hans as well.

Americans didn't kill a million Iraqi people, the taliban and loads of other groups did.

I am a brown guy in my 30s and I also would like to have tiktok be banned from my home country.

It says Drop, paste, or click to upload an image, but pasting doesn't do anything.

Personally, what's helped me is watching Rick & Morty, and it finally hitting home that none of our lives mean anything in the grandest scheme of things, if there is such a thing. So we are free to live as we want. Nobody can judge us except ourselves.

I personally don't drink coffee to stay up. I find it has an adverse effect. I drink it to start my day when I'm fresh or after a nap.

Personally, I like the name. It makes it memorable, funny, and also conveys the meaning.

yeah I agree to some extent. Current Indian govt. is quite fascist, but hopefully can be voted out (unlike the PRC in China). Not to say that they won't try their best to hold on to power and turn the secular state into a Hinduist one.

India allows internet/app companies from other countries. It's just banning chinese apps because it is now in conflict with China.

Lucky your teachers actually cared about you.

More like demagoguery

Because dialog doesn't work on them. They only understand force and power.

Taiwan and Mainland China both claim to be true China. Taiwan used to be on UN security council till it was ousted and replaced by PRC: http://www.ipsnews.net/2019/04/taiwan-still-permanent-member....

We just have to replace them again.

By recognizing Taiwan as the defacto China

Does anybody else think it's crazy that companies like Hire Right and Fama get to determine on behalf of private and public sectors whether they should hire or fire you based on some arbitrary social media background checks?

As a canadian, I tried requesting my background information from them, but the form is for Americans only (requires american SSN and address), but at the same time some Canadian provinces (Ontario) have signed up with them. So there's no way to know what they have on me or whether it's even accurate. How many applicants even know this is happening when they apply for a job?

but only up to 250k

man it sucks. I'm one of those savers and have been waiting for my turn to be able to buy a home for last 5 years. I was hoping the house prices would come down to affordable level, but they are on fire again! What's the point of being responsible when spending and borrowing like there's no tomorrow will guarantee you help from govt?

Hi, can you please do so? I am an engineer interested in starting my own streaming platform.

Congrats on solving your internal business problem. I did something similar for a company I worked for but using windows toughbook devices. BTW, what beer is that?

I don't use it because development team is based in China.
