will it merely be a generic initial 'i agree to terms and conditions' or a fully transparent, ongoing process of transferring data, with the user having ultimate control. If the latter is true, i salute you and wish you luck.

Have they accomplished anything else? Does that justify BLM as a political organisation? How transparent are they, and who runs it? Assumptions aren't always good. BLM is not new, and i've been disturbed by the attitudes of some s

I wouldn't be such a prophet of doom; there is still plenty of happiness in humanity, and i'm not certain its declining as badly as you are making out.

agreed, but that's the inevitable conclusion of any inquiry into solving climate change. Should we therefore do nothing? Probably not. But again, i won't elaborate.

Probably the worst possible damage a person can do to the enviroment is to have children. Everything else is basically just a drop (of pollution) in the ocean. I have my own opinions here, which i won't say, but i'm just addressin

I think a clever mod will realize that they are not the Supreme Court. They are certainly not the best judge out there. Just clicking accounts and comments out of existence wont solve misinformation - it will just make the mod a tyrant. I k

I was wondering who would bring it up first! I really enjoy watching it, the videos are stunning and generally high quality content. And the ants are just really interesting to watch. (i like the fire ants the best)

Justified or not, I personally take a dim view of cancellation fees in general. Evidently i'm not alone either.

Give me a choice and i know what i'll choose (hint; space is big, inhospitable and quite boring).

I always felt bad for Yuri. The Americans made a huge deal about John Glenn, yet his record is basically worthless. Yuri had done it all before, but it seems some people refused to acknowledge it. This was one of the first things that opene

>8000 km away from USA, how is Iran a thread to the United States exactly? I'm confused. He is quantifiably one of the most evil people on the planet, with a long list of human right abuses. Yet, what business is it of the United S

I don't. He is not a General. He was the head of the IRGC, which is a proscribed terrorist organization. The IRGC is the biggest terrorist organization in the world, which arguably makes Solameini the biggest terrorist in the world. So

i've lost faith that bellingact is neutral. Just read the headlines on their website. It's obvious to me they have agendas (in the plural). Also, it's shadowbanned on HN. Despite this, i still enjoy some of their articles, s

what the policy makers actually say behind closed doors may be very different from their public statements. And i imagine the State Department, being a human agency, don't have a single, moonlithic, agenda.

As an Iranian, what do you think about the current political regime. Would a return of the Shah be a positive thing, in your opinion? Do you have any fears of Israeli aggression, or would you support a peace deal? I would honestly like to h

The chief rabbi of Israel, Rabbi Israel Meir Lau describes the liberation in his book. He was just 8 at the end of the war. I would highly recommend it for anyone wanting a better picture of the Holocaust and it's survivors.

Someone has to pay, i guess. The challenge will be of course, to maintain a civil discourse. It will be important for both sides to not be seen as acting petulantly. As is so often the case when huge amounts of money is involved. But i&#x27

nothing makes me angrier then slightly-shorter products. I.e sandwiches packets etc. It's cheating and wrong.
