sydneysider··on Saudi Arabia Warns of Economic Fallout If Congress Passes 9/11 Bill
And parent hasn't broken any guidelines by posting garbage? Rather biased. Go ahead, ban my account, fascist pricks
sydneysider··on Saudi Arabia Warns of Economic Fallout If Congress Passes 9/11 Bill
lol, what hogwash drivle is this?
sydneysider··on Magnitogorsk, Russia's steel city
Whereas Germany's Nazi past seems overly dramatised. I'm sure many young Germans these days are sick of being constantly reminded and made to feel guilty for their forefathers sins.
sydneysider··on The Untouchables – Why it’s getting harder to stop multinational corporations
This sounds like an anti BRICS scare piece. Author conveniently forgets to mention that the USA / UK etc (along with their respective multinationals) destroy whole countries for their energy resources, or Monsanto testing crops in India, causing farmers to commit suicide.
sydneysider··on I am on the Kill List. This is what it feels like to be hunted by drones
It's a bit of a strawman argument to bring in unrelated paris and brussels.
sydneysider··on Would you propose with a diamond grown in a lab?
Hear hear, same with a fancy wedding. Save the money for a house.
sydneysider··on 9-year-old reporter breaks crime news, posts videos, fires back at critics
ahh, wasn't aware of the guidelines!
sydneysider··on 9-year-old reporter breaks crime news, posts videos, fires back at critics
why the downvote? I actually meant it's cute, not the cynical 'cute'

Cute
sydneysider··on Show HN: Voucherify – Voucher infrastructure through API
right :), thanks for the use-case for an outsider like me.
sydneysider··on Show HN: Voucherify – Voucher infrastructure through API
Would this functionality really be hard to implement yourself? What is the benefit of using a service like this?
sydneysider··on Determining Gender of a Name with 80% Accuracy Using Only Three Features
Blah blah blah, go back to liberal arts college
sydneysider··on From Leading the Egyptian Revolution to Making Minimum Wage in San Francisco
climate activist, lol.
sydneysider··on Google/proto-quic is a standalone library for QUIC
Looking forward to seeing nginx gain QUIC support one of these days
sydneysider··on Hack the Pentagon to win $150,000 bounty
And a criminal check if you want the money. I'm sure China would pay more than 150k as well, probably no background check needed!
sydneysider··on Erdogan’s Attempt to Suppress German Satire Has the Opposite Effect
Hohoho
sydneysider··on Erdogan’s Attempt to Suppress German Satire Has the Opposite Effect
wheres the phobia?
sydneysider··on Erdogan’s Attempt to Suppress German Satire Has the Opposite Effect
Blaming this on 'racism' is a poor argument. Maybe it has something to do with the incompatible cultures and values.
sydneysider··on The First Muslims in England
Exception to the rule, much easier to paint the middle east or south American countries as 'the other' than your own neighbour. Also there are more types of war than just dropping bombs, maybe I should have clarified.
sydneysider··on The First Muslims in England
Hardly, the people at the top have profited greatly, the rest still live in poverty. Countries which try and share the wealth of the oil i.e keep it a state owned affair are quickly labelled extremist and a threat to 'democracy' and 'world peace', then are bombed to oblivion. Afterwards a new puppet government is installed which allows foreign companies to come and use its oil.
sydneysider··on The Chrome Distortion: how Chrome negatively alters our expectations
Link for ublock on safari? I looked but my google-fu is lacking I guess
sydneysider··on The Chrome Distortion: how Chrome negatively alters our expectations
I noticed the adblock extension on safari makes it freeze up for a second when I open a new tab. apart from that, soooooo much snappier than chrome. (desktop, not mobile ofc)
sydneysider··on How one developer just broke Node, Babel and thousands of projects
I think it is also a reflection on the state of the node ecosystem, including an external dependency for a few lines of simple code. Note this isn't only nodes issue, ruby has a similar issue with gems.
sydneysider··on How one developer just broke Node, Babel and thousands of projects
I completely agree with the developer here, I also think npm crossed the line by republishing the module.
sydneysider··on Brussels Rocked by Terrorist Attacks
Should have been clearer, I meant external. But honestly, I don't mind having to show my passport while crossing internal borders.
sydneysider··on Brussels Rocked by Terrorist Attacks
I wonder how long it will take for people to connect the dots... Meanwhile Europe has no borders, massive security risk which we are only beginning to see the consequences of.
sydneysider··on Standing can also be bad for you, says scientist studying desk set-up
Work seems to be the core issue here...
sydneysider··on The Tragic Tale of Saddam Hussein's “Supergun”
I'd disagree, along with Al Jazeera, RT is one of my staple news sources.
sydneysider··on A few people develop a compulsive urge to crack jokes
....you missed it..
sydneysider··on Now I Understand How Germany Created Hitler
not at all. as the other replier mentioned, circumstances were wildly different in post WWI europe (let alone Germany) than they currently are in the US. Learn some history.
