Their work is just like any other firm perhaps they cause unfortunate things to happen but that is the nature of business.

You might be right, but perhaps countries with something to lose might be better places to live because of opportunity. I understand you give up some rights in exchange for 'freedom' but the opportunities are better. Sometimes you just have to live blissfully aware.
Re:China’s social credit system doesn’t exist – at least not yet

I appreciate you clarifying the incorrect representation of the system. People tend to assume everything in China is communism, it really is not. This is a capitalistic change.

You forgot to mention Israel's aggression on adjacent countries Lebanon and Palestine. Would Israel's constant belligerence start a war?

I like the idea, this is very economically sane since it will allow the news company to deliver news all day without errors from human anchors. Although people would still have to write the script, I know the state will always put their best people to write 24/7.

Good for them
Re:Qualcomm says Apple is $7B behind in royalty payments

apple should definitely reconsider itself, if true it is very unethical for this company to simply give out code it doesn't have a right to share. It would simply be that apple has to pay the fee and a fine.

I am a male, I work in a hospital. The situation is pretty close to me as well. It's just the culture of having men around vs having mostly 90% up, woman around.
Re:iPhones are hard to use

I don't think making your market small and extremely fragmented is call for innovation. Certain features should be available easier for the ease of the user. If you don't like the environment you're using, and you can't change it, you're being abused by the software.
Re:China cracks down on religion, crosses burned at Christian churches
on Tuesday October 16, 2018 @03:26AM (#18227358)
I assume that's it's harder to create a religion for a billion people. Christianity ranks in at #1 and Islam is #2, the new religion if followed by all would be #3. I would love to hear what they could come up with tho.

on Saturday October 13, 2018 @01:23AM (#18206575)
I find that it's ok for censoring to happen since the impact would be that the search engine exists. It's a long term plan I assume and since it's a private company it will do whatever it wants to make money regardless of local policy.
Re:A guide to mathematical emotions

I thought with a title like that, that this would be a guide on how to calculate emotions and numerical presentation of emotions. But it's pretty pictures.
Re:Ask HN: What do you want to see in Ubuntu 17.10?

I want to see the Amazon link icon. Not there at all. I don't know how plausible this is, it's just a wish.
