Yeah definitely downvote manipulations going on again... At this point I'm not even upset or shocked. It just further supports the narrative Russia is seeking to manipulate/exploit the internet to their benefit. Considering the av

Isn't it peculiar that Russia remains the least hit or not even hit at all? It seems like the West was a clear target. Connecting the dots here, it's suffice to say Shadow Brokers serves Russian interests. We are seeing bullet hol

Interesting to see fundraising articles peaking out in 2014, I think we are definitely seeing a bear market.

My theory is scope creep. These guys have done a good job of convincing people that they can live the ultimate space exploration fantasy that's been talked about since the 80s. It's the ultimate simulation. We know very little abo

Of course, but can you do the same with Arabic in the same time span? I think not. With Hangul, you can start writing your own name, lot of English words in Korean which is understood in Korea. Even Konglish (Phonetically typed Korean in En

Why do you require scientific evidence to support opinions? What's so shocking about claiming English is "less expressive" than Latin? Care to show scientific evidence that suggests that isn't the case? Please post your

I won't disagree that my piece on Soylent was inflammatory but it was because in my humble opinion, it's shitjuice. It could've been put in a better way. I also won't apologize for criticizing the defense industry and an

Yeah except the timing of the downvotes are always the same, which made me think somebody is doing it on purpose. Having said that, I believe that there is a ring of high karma accounts manipulating and censoring comments. I see regular com

it started a few months ago, at first I thought it was a coincidence but the similar number of downvotes always make it with no explanation for downvotes. Now it's blatantly obvious somebody is drive by downvote manipulating my comment

Interesting stuff. The Korean language is considered one of the most scientific language on the planet. I'm puzzled why that NASA guy would push Sanskrit to be an actual application language. In my opinion, an HN'er should be able

This is like that movie where US pilots have to battle a super advanced AI stealth drone. AI really should have no place in military but it's going to happen. Some spineless fucks are going to spread their legs for a 5 star general to

Except Soylent marketed itself as a replacement. All those shakes you talk about are aimed at supplementing. They weren't stupid enough to tell people to live on it because of the legal liability.

Soylent's behavior needs to be brought to the attention of the FDA and you can do so with the following link: https://www.fda.gov/safety/reportaproblem/ Let's not forget about alleged mold in Soylent not

I meant more from the investors angle. I definitely don't get any sense of confidence from the business point of view but I can see there is little doubt in your technical execution. But there lies the problem. You are deeply attached

Lesson #1: Stick with your ideal customers because a customer who isn't a good fit for your product will inevitably experience problems and decide to blame you for it. This is why a refund policy makes sense but even that could be avoi

I think the law is flawed when it incorrectly assumes everybody's mental age progresses at the exact uniform rate. They don't. Some people even at 20s, 30s, 40s, haven't had the necessary mental/emotional development.

I posted this because the submission with Facebook Female Engineers Claim Gender Bias was removed by mods very promptly. I think it's pretty clear that we now have active censorship perpetrated by HN mods.
