I am disappointed by the lack of political discussion on Hacker News. Can't we trust our fellow HN users to handle this discussion civilly? Technology and governance increasingly have an extensive, nuanced relationship and HN is the ex

CNN is now mixing in pure lies with their usual selective reporting and narrative spinning. The whole "it's illegal to read the Podesta emails, but not for us at CNN, so get all your information from us" (not verbatim) is one

It seems pretty simple to me. Have the machine print a receipt that shows your info and who you voted for, have the voter check it over and sign it, and then have the voter hand it in before leaving the voting station. The receipt is really

Most of your list is either a specialized requirement, or something that probably wouldn't be that much easier on Windows / MacOS. I meant that simple things like browsing the Internet, video chatting, and playing music (the need

Youtube can be a nasty place. Take a look at the comment section of pretty much any video with a black person in it.

The WP article isn't really central to my point -- that outside factors have more to do with poor math performance than anything happening inside the schools. I worked in a public school as a tutor for kids slightly behind their grade

Indeed. I'm sorry about your brother, and I'm sorry that in a saner society your brother might have gotten the help he needed, or known the purity of the heroin he took, or someone nearby would've been less reluctant to call

Thanks to, among other organizations, the US Department of "Defense" and its 27,000+ "public relations" employees, even a comment section might be bought and paid for. It's known from the HBGary hacks that the DOD c
