I never said it was completely impossible to make money by selling a bad product,

from last comment in the thread -

An advertisement will _never_ convince people to buy things they don't want and don't need; if you disagree, please go and try to sell a bad product, and we will see how well your 'mind control' works.

how??

i think ur parent assumed without saying that both translators were equally (well?) versed in the source language, so ur example does not compute.

unless ur chinese

thank you for this reply, really puts things into perspective.

How can they have a wedding before a woman gives her consent?

haha. ha ha ha.

a lot of pakistans intelligence services are financed by the cia (seriously, search it) and it is well-documented that the 'militants' coming over the border r paki agents. the dick swinging is over ownership of Kashmir, and no surprises, US-published maps of India do not include Kashmir as part of it. and india is never the aggressor in borded encounters, this is verifiably true.

please i sincerely request u to watch this - https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=qVHzAinRH4g - to see the sort of propoganda us regularly engages in to dupe the global discourse. it is a very intense 1 hr watch and i daresay ull enjoy it more than many movies. noone has anything against americans themselves. just that their money is going to finance a govt that is increasingly mort aggressive at establishing global domminance, and that too using underhand tactics. please watch it and tell me ur opinion of it. my american friends liked it a lot.

am i reading this right? is it illegal in the us to build ur own computer device from the most basic components?

but they have a looooooooooooot of work left to do to become anything close to a first-world nation.

ur bias is leaking. being a 'first world' nation (a very arbitrary classification in the first place) is not a necessarily desirable attribute for a country to have. u can keep ur defacto oligarchy, ur mind numbing culture and media, which brainwashes citizens to conform and support foreign wars at enormous expense to human life and effort (through wasted tax money), let us keep our poverty, culture, and sane values...

normally i wouldnt be so forthright and defensive, but the arrogant blindness of the comment really struck me as needing a counter, however unsupported by sources it may be (at this point, the futility and greed behind these wars and the global interference of wester nations, one in particular, is common knowledge).

i think thats exactly what he was saying. the part about 'sedating the masses' is also very apparent when u look at the robotic and homogenous modes of behaviour and 'exploration' promoted at school. they are also trying very hard to reduce interaction of kids with people outside their age group or level (including parents) which drastically cuts down on learning things in life that school will never teach u.

if that were to be true (elite not 'growing' at the masses' expense) it would have already happened. modern world is essentially what u describe, elites, lesser elites and then the struggling commons.

it never has -- benefits go to the people who have the power to decide where the benefits go tautologically, i.e. capitalists

so it is a tautology by choice. they could decide to send the benefits of faster and increased production to the masses.

i recommend u go through this with an open mind and no bias on the source. the research might not be on what u think it is.

funny how that automatically happens when someone mentions posture

irony here is that parent user's id is the name of the publishing house which is one of the chief competitors to cbse, especially when it comes to high school books.

this is better than the NYT article. i don't understand how it can consider regulation though, when the only currency onvolved is the user's attention, and they are their own federal reserves. does the web physically make us addicted, like cigarettes, to the point of unpleasantness when not indulging in the activity, or does it just form patterns pf behaviour that can be easily broken, provided one is _conscious_ of them?

You're dropping the truth here. Hope it doesn't go unnoticed.

can you list some off the top of your head? At work right now, but im too interested to wait to get home.

what do you mean by 'tracking radicalization'?

ha, if they filter that, it will be the ultimate red flag. i read an article on prisonplanet.com that said they removed them, and cnet.com from search listings on the front page because they published some critical articles involving google and the 'see aye lmao' (three letters)

i can never tell why certain comments get downvoted on hackernews. yours obviously has a sad tone, but people take everything literally here.

a citizen from india would like to weigh in and say that I believe you and everything you said lines up with how the youth in our country are turning more and more to western ideals and ignoring their culture (facebook posts, game of thrones, popular pages making posts on iraq, posts on north korea, posts on russia, and a host of other things that you can only experience and observe by living in the country and having friends from that country). that's all i will say for now, if the opinion of someone in an (allegedly) affected country counts.

i think sangnoir wrote it in a morally outraged tone, and listed evidence to support littletimmy's post.

this and more. i actually had no idea that something like the smart cities you mentioned was planned. and neither does any of the general public here. the idea is terrifying. i wonder where and how will they build these entire new cities and how will they cajole working ckass people into moving there, since villagers are definitely not part of their hifi money techno compounds.

it is very interesting to see your perspective on the global economic position that india occupies. think about how one country can actually 'own' shares of the very cities of another free democracy.

please do not take offence when i say that i can't tell you anything concrete at this stage, except harp about the evils of culture domination, about history repeating itself, and about researching more on my previous comment (if you are so inclined). this is in part because i haven't grasped the pattern fully myself, and for the safety of my dear ones. i just believe as much as a mind can, that there is evil afoot (apologies for being dramatic but i fully believe that a lot of countries including india face grave, long term threats).

i will leave you with this - https://ghanshyamtank.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/lord-macau...

that article has a 'paywall'. is this the same one with the full content - https://wikileaks.org/google-is-not-what-it-seems/ ?

i can't thank you enough for making this comment and the above one ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9681482 ). people, especially tech/culturally/bullshit literate americans need to focus and _see_ what is happening. international citizens, especially from certain parts of the world, eat whatever the US feeds them, but i've noticed that americans tend to be _very_ good at spotting bs when they are paying attention. the only thing needed is for their hearts to be in the right place. that will determine whether they decide to play along or help.

now, i beg the above user, or someone with an equally clear and analytical mind, to take a long and hard look at india, and what's happening with the urbanised (aka westernized) and so called sophisticated society of india, especially the youth. key words : whatsapp, instagram, mass message forwarding, hollywood, atheism, gender equality, sexual liberation, 'jesus christ', delhi rape, us kashmir india map vs indian govt india map; eventually you'll spot the pattern. we need help from the outside, urgently.

read on the internet.org initiative. google is not alone. they are out to get everyone.

also, (imo) anyone upvoting, commenting, and (probably) even viewing this page is on a list, and their preferences and moral leanings are being analysed. i can't be sure if that is individually, or in a grouping of data. so comment and upvote with care, and try to ensure anonymity.

ps - best of luck to us all and thank you if you sincerely read the whole message

he is stating what he believes will be true. i didn't read a complaint anywhere. in fact, i think he was implying how sure he was about his folliwing statments, as he was ready to post them inspite of the (expected) downvotes.

expected things are, by their very nature, hypothetical until they come true or are proven false.

can you elaborate on the second sentence?
