They became like Mongolia: China's bitch.

Rookie numbers. How much did Uber lose? Wirecard?

Children don't get to decide what they want to eat otherwise it would be pancakes and french fries every day.

In my country on a public holiday everyone is free to spend money so all the stores and restaurants are open all day. What are people supposed to do on a holiday if not consume product?

Money never sleeps.

People feel like their children deserve things in life which requires financial stability. Poor people having kids is seen as asshole behaviour.

Just having your children learning to swim costs 1000 euro!

I won't ride a bicycle in the UK because the British despise anything that isn't a car. People will literally cheer if a cyclist is mowed down.

Keep in mind that it's not about winning or losing in court. Most people don't have the money to fight. So they give up as soon as they get a letter from a lawyer.

Justice costs money.

WinRAR is still recommended in piracy circles.

My mom drives a small Citroen C1 and never opened the hood. Cars are already pretty damn reliable.

As I understand it it's usually the software that goes bad they have the whole engine thing down to a science.

Its just Primark taken a step further.

It's only an issue because Shein is Chinese.

Nobody cares what Western companies do in Kenia or Bangladesh but the knives come out for China moving up the value chain.

Short term profits. Literally nobody gives a shit anymore what happens to a company ten years in the future.

Outsourcing and building the Max fast led to good numbers at the annual shareholder meeting. Arguably it still does because what is anyone going to do? Buy Airbus? They have waiting lists too.

Sponsors want something in return. Reminds me of Rembrandt who got into trouble because he didn't beautify his clients enough and went for art instead...

Airbus has factories in the US and employs a lot of Americans.

Planes fell out of the sky all the time in the 1930s-60s and it didn't deter the rich, famous and powerful.

Because if you wanted to travel from Amsterdam to Batavia by ship it would take weeks...

The technology in Gattaca is already among us. Parents screen their DNA to find out if they have any hereditary diseases.

It's estimated that there won't be anyone with Down syndrome in a few decades.

I specifically use extensions to nuke web design and make the internet readable- which is the point of a blog.

Whenever someone on HN starts whining how the internet used to be better I just mutter "pop ups".

Someone invented ad blockers for a reason 25 or so years ago.

I almost fell in the bathroom. Bought myself a fall bathroom rug the next day. The last thing I want is the embarrassment of EMTs wheeling my naked body into an ambulance.

It was a painful reminder that I'm starting to get old.

Considering many countries block torrent sites I wouldn't chance it.

Yes let's hope Trump doesn't win.

Musk has many goals. He also does drugs and gets involved into politics. There's only 24 hours in a day.

Stalin was also pushing for the allies to do something constructive.

Nazis don't want peace their entire ideology hinges on perpetual struggle.

Railways rarely go through wealthy neighbourhoods. As the expression goes "born on the wrong side of the tracks".

This is what anti city people don't get. My mom grew up in a small religious village and left for the big city because she wanted a life.

I don't think we should legalize 15 year old girls being pressured to ruin their bodies with drugs so that they can win a gold medal for their country.

Yes it's politics and working with computers and man-children all day is poor training. Stick to your lane tech billionaires you couldn't win an election if you were the last person alive.

This is a kind of racism.

Brown people have every capability to be just as cruel, heartless and devilishly cunning as white people.

We don't know who invented slavery and we'll never know but when European explorers arrived they did not introduce the concept. Nor did they introduce war, superstition, poverty, starvation or inequality. There's no such thing as the "noble savage".
