Have you read through their case? It's pretty weak in my opinion. They seem to think that any war with a high number of casualties and insufficient humanitarian aid counts as genocide. By their standard the US committed "genocide&

The irony of this is that it only affects the Arabic speaking population, which for the most part already supports the Palestinian side.

Their methodology seems really flawed. They cherry picked a thousand instances of wrongly removed content, but how many posts do you think there are about the conflict on Facebook and Instagram? Tens of millions? They have no way of knowing

HRW has a reputation for being biased against Israel: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Human_Rights_Wa... . Regardless of whether that's true, it could explain why pro-Israel folks wouldn't want t

What bothers me about this isn't that he was committed to a "hospital" (read: jail for mentally ill people). What bothers me is that the sentence is indefinite. The judge can give him a life sentence for what wouldn't no

It's pretty simple actually. US schools are run at the local level, not the national level. So different school districts (a district is usually the size of a town or county) get different amounts of funding.

You could argue they're enabling it, but not that they're pushing for it. Ukraine and Israel both have more will to fight than the US does.

For Android development SO is pretty useless. I often find answers on there from <=2015. That's when Android 6 came out, its way too old to be relevant. But if you try to re-ask the same question they mark it as a duplicate.

To get $8400 on 2% cash back, you'd have to spend $420,000.

I would be expect the result to be zero because companies respond to financial incentives, not cultural "movements". Do you really think driving to an office will stop this?

One of the things I absolutely love about my current job is not having to use agile. I didn't realize what a massive waste of time it was at my last two jobs because I'd never experienced not having to use it. If I switch jobs in

So a quote from a movie is your counterargument?

by kar5pt 3y ago
Well that's a stretch. The original quote says it's linked to the _trafficking_ of drugs, not just drug use. If this is the only link, they're being intentionally misleading.

Does the average non-lawyer know when they're obligated to answer the police? I don't think I do.

Is there a typo in here? Your first comment contradicts your second.

How does that description necessarily not meet that definition? The UP said nothing about whether the person in the job is obligated to pretend that the job is important. Plus everyone is giving slightly different definitions of a bullshit

Can science even prove such as thing? Saying "there is no self" doesn't seem like a scientific claim to me. It seems more like a philosophical question. The fact that scientists don't agree on a particular center of the

Idk, I was talking with my gf about this at the time (who's not on HN), and she was saying the same thing - this isn't going to work.

Yes. Google has become useless for certain types of searches. I find reddit to have recommendations that are much more trustworthy. It's not just product recommendations, things like book recommendations, career advice, scientific&#x2F

Note that this is looking at voting patterns, not surveys on political beliefs. So a lower proportion of millennials voted for Biden in 2020 than they did for Obama in 2012. This could have more to do with the Democrats being viewed as corr

This. I don't understand why we can't catch and prosecute these spammers. Is it that hard for the phone companies/authorities to trace who's making these phone calls?

I've been getting calls and texts for "Victoria" for literally 5-6 years now. She apparently has been going through forclosure, so I get spam calls trying to buy the house. I know no one named Victoria and have never owned a

This attitude hurts poorer working class people because it causes high-payed workers to identify themselves with the capitalist class rather than workers.

That doesn't really sound comparable unless you actually grew up in the USSR (your comment is kind of ambiguous as to whether you're from the area or just grew up in the US during that time period). The soviet era had the risk of
