Fun fact, almost all Indians know 2 languages well. 1 their regional one, 2nd Hindi.. If they speak english, that's three..

Down south Hindi is less prevelant but 2 languages is like the norm for kids here..

Well, we have excess on one side and scarcity on the other side. Not that this can't be solved, it has never been a priority and probably will never be a priority to solve this problem. Please dont equate human life with philosophies of wealth distribution. God forbid, you may never know you may be poor in your country and your life may no longer be worth the medical treatment and maybe captitalism will win in that.

So please dont say they can have children cause they dont have money and people were interested more in looting this continents resources and destabilizing it than uplifting it.

Dare someone say something to this effect on black Americans and they will be crucified. Because these guys are from poor nations you can contemplate its a good idea millions not be born.

To live the American nightmare and be in the land of the caged. lol!
Civil disobedience does not need you to be a citizen of America..

Re:US drops 'largest non-nuclear bomb' in Afghanistan on Thursday April 13, 2017 @05:43PM (#14111137)
You know they're not going to say, oh there was also a village there with about only 250 mountain people living in it. Hey sorry buddy, you, your children, your goats all die today cause the man in the suit said so. Because they want to push this narrative of ISIS being the really bad guys that need to be killed so you guys be scared of them, we'll take them out for you. These politicians are incapable and uninterested in solving real problems so you take the easy way make deamons and keep fighting them -- war is good money, the politicians can look good fighting the bad guys while not doing anything really and the peoples minds are occupied by this conflict so they don't question you too much. I hate ISIS as much as the next guy, but that doesn't mean these guys are the good guys.

Just replace the name of Afghanistan with with Australia, America or any other country you can think of. Better yet, Saudi Arabia cause that will easily fit with some peoples world view. The first question that I get in my head is. How is this even legal? other than the fact that.. Yea We've got the money and the resources and you poor fella wont be able to hit us back in your dreams, ever. So take that!

I just get a feeling that somehow, non-english speaking, non-white people are not as equal as others and for some people the're doing a favor to them treating them as humans. This is not in the philosophical debaty sense, but in the real tactical sense. You want to throw a bomb at Hiroshima, yea kill a million people and end the war. Today lets drop bombs on some third world country. The great leader is always doing something worthy of praise. How is this different from some crazy north Korean dictator other than more savvy and politically correct propoganda on one side and not on the other. Just cause the US is a democracy this is valid? Cause they are so powerful they can do this and no one will question them... What if some other "Bad" guy did it. What if Putin is doing this kind of stuff. Killing of people is killing of people. This is like taking a shotgun to kill a rat. Sure you'll kill it but you're probably insane.

Just imagine the US as one person and Afghanistan as another person. The first guy goes like here dude, take a punch on the face, there was a fly sitting there I was just trying to kill it. Also, I'll keep punching you to kill flies whether you're sleeping or awake, whether you like it or not.

Re:Ask HN: Are there human sound generation emulators? on Tuesday March 21, 2017 @05:28AM (#13920791)
But like a rendering engine are there sound software that can generate and simulate realistic sounds without being fed recorded stuff in.....
That is ironic...

Ask HN: Are there human sound generation emulators?

Like we have 3D programs that can trace light and create images. Are there any acoustic generators that mimic how a human produces sound using software and then give the output. To be clear this is the opposite of recording sound and playing it back. It is basically defining the environment where the sound would get created, have the sound waves mocked by software and play the actual sound that...

Yes, I love the command line and want to remind people how it was back in the days when they didn't have these GUIs. Everyone will have to give up the GUI! Its a legitimate cause! : ) </sarcasm>
Re:Are We Different People in Different Languages? on Wednesday March 01, 2017 @01:25PM (#13766642)
languages where you can convey respect by certain forms of words and its inherent link with social status or superiority are a pain to get the initial social coordination. cause you're judging and gauging consistently on how to play it especially with strangers.
Re:Are We Different People in Different Languages? on Wednesday March 01, 2017 @01:19PM (#13766580)
Do you know a substantail number of Indians speak atleast 3 languages. 1st is their regional language where they were born, another is Hindi and the third is English. And it's not considered out of the ordinary at all..
