I agree, the show has really declined without being able to stand on GRRM's shoulders. Battles are still good but the dialogue has been terrible and they miss a lot a nuance that's in the books. It's probably demotivating as

I've given obviously contrarian opinions on subjects posted to HN, but none of it was off-topic to the posted subject. If you don't want these topics being discussed just delete the thread, what's the point if contrarian opin

Those non-skill jobs are going to disappear soon, then we just have millions on government benefits, to go along with the 47 million currently on food stamps. We don't need more unskilled labor, get those 47 million to work instead Cut

The funny thing is the far left will switch between comparing Trump to Hitler then the next day make fun of him for not getting legislation passed. Is he an authoritarian dictator or a weak leader who can't get things done?

I was wrong on english but people were still required to be able to work and not be reliant on government. This included pregnant women and children if they didn't have a husband or father This was the immigration law at the time http

the "jobs americans don't want" meme needs to die. The whole reason there has been no wage growth for the middle class is because we bring in uneducated workers who drive wages down, basic supply and demand. Eliminate that an

I don't see how anyone can be against this. Should we really take an unskilled immigrant who can't speak english over an AI researcher? This is a similar merit system as used by Canada and Australia. Reminder that people who could

It might seem like that now, but in hindsight the opportunities will be obvious. There were multiple search engines when Google came out and many social networking sites when Facebook came out. There are always opportunities, things just ge

Fighting WrongThink is double plus good comrade! In unrelated news Jordan Peterson, a University of Toronto professor with 350k subscribers was banned today. He's about as centrist as you can get but occasionally speaks against marxism

Dividing the West and the United States in particular has been planned for a long time. Race, gender, income, politics all of it is being used to keep the plebes at each others throats. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3qkf3

Something needs to be done about China, they could end the situation in North Korea instantly by stopping trading with them. The fact they don't, combined with their aggression in the South China Sea is telling. Sanctions or tariffs sh

Here's a couple good articles by Scott Adams on things that would convince him on climate change. He mainly focuses on his experience with being able to manipulate models to show whatever you want them to show and what proportion is ma

No, Scandinavian countries are capitalist and in fact more economically free than the US. They have little or no nationalization of industry. The Scandinavian socialism meme needs to die.

It might not be cheaper if you think Trump is going to tariff China because of their support of North Korea.

This is pretty standard for deals like this, Nevada gave Tesla 1.3 billion for the Gigafactory. This "could" draw 3 billion. It's just tax incentives, not like it's a cash payment. But anything to make Trump look bad I g

The modern liberal ideology is based on completely ignoring facts and instead focusing on feels, there's nothing rational about it. I'd also argue the fact that liberals are "educated". The number of STEM graduates per y

That's my point, 80% of entrepreneurs can't make it one year, so what are the odds of Steve Jobs starting multiple multi-billion dollar companies over multiple decades, with tens of thousands of decisions, through pure luck? You&#
