I am not sure why everyone should feel comfortable with everyone else's choices. Do people think everyone should like the movie that most people are going for ?

I think we should always pay attention to the other side of the story before we buy into the allegations. I am not playing down the possible harassment of any employee but let us not be blinded by the allegations alone either.

While I appreciate SO, I think it is only a glorified ExpertsExchange or some other BB that were popular before SO.

While it might sound bad to you for millions of Indians and Chinese it is totally worth a Kidney. As long as they are making that choice themselves I do not see the problem.

Thanks for that response, I think I will use "allegedly questionable data on planetary climate and surrounding public discourse by friends on the western side of the globe". That ought to be less "provocative" while mean

I am the OP. I don't even bother to look at downvotes and the fact that an opinion is unpopular does not really say anything about the merits of the argument. I am pretty sure HN crowd will hound anyone who claims to agree with FCC on

What is inflammatory about the comment ? It surely brings a new perspective into things. Your warning seems ill motivated.

Sorry. I do not think people commenting on some document has anything to do with democracy that might be mob or troll rule but it isn't democracy (not that I am a fan of democracy either). Personally I agree with FCC's stand and k

Richest nations are the happiest nations as long as they don't run out of their money. That is the proper conclusion. I am pretty sure 10 years ago Greece would have featured as a happiest nation and Venezuela not as much as a miserabl

That is a very valid concern. But your concern also has an answer. > Fast-forward 20+ years, and it'll become expected part of life, Yes. I think people will probably have a reverse mortgage like thing where they will be able to bor

How about harvesting organs so the kids could use that money to create their next Javascript based startup ? Should the society then also fund their Startup ? College education is an example. People will spend resources on whatever they thi

I am an Indian citizen I am not American. Indians (and Hindus specifically) see death as merely one transition. I find it weird that we are denying poor people an excellent opportunity to pull their family out of poverty instantly even afte

One thing that can ease the pain of death is by probably discussing the benefits of it. I wish people could sell their organs after their death. Putting grandkids through college or paying for the mortgage etc. could make it easier for peop
