Usually these kinds of things are just about selling a service. Most pitches on this is are like that just rehashed versions of the same sales pitches

Honestly based on the title I though the writer was going to talk about systemic racism and wealth and how wealthy black people end up poor a bit disappointed it wasn't though to say why we always emphasize this is weird to me rather than why such inequality exists in the first place the conversation is instead about helping a very small subset of people as if they're in some way better than the rest instead of what it usually is, luck.

That's not how that works.

Ehh I'm not sure the Japanese would have a way of knowing that. Given the time period this was in. Not sure if that source can be trusted.

Eh. Not sure about that. Yasuke is a real person or we think he is. But this feels more like speculative fiction with an advertisment rather than anything else.

Ah, I clicked on this article hoping for information but it felt more like an ad for the Netflix series and at times goes in detail to describe fan fiction from historians only to go on record to state there is no evidence behind said claims. At that point why even bother to include it in the article as many reader might not even notice this. This article feels more low effort than most articles from the Smithsonian and I hope it's not a sign of lower quality works to come.

Yep that's how a monopoly works.

It's a red herring from the Saudis to point at the fact that many Wikipedia entries are already heavily modified and controlled by interest groups like their own. Why they would announce it this way is another question.

Not that suprising given their population, still a better investment into public rail and buses would greatly improve the lives of the people there but Im not sure if that will happen when they can't even get toilets and basic sanitation for most of their population and for the people buying these vehicles it's a luxury and most are not very receptive of public transportation due to the already existing problems.

Does that make sense for them to continued to have existed for thousands of years during the ice age where nothing grew? Or if the dating is even accurate at all?

Not just that many sports have their own backings and beliefs which tend to skew towards whats popular at the time but also some questionable stuff at times. Fun fact the lighting of the bonfire at the Olympics was first done by Nazi Germany

Ah yes the nobody wants to do it to me excuse. Until you piss off the wrong person and you suddenly crash into the railing and die in an 'accident'.

In a more Orwellian world. It can be used to assassinate dissidents or individuals who speak out against authoritarian regimes. It's just a tool in a box, but it's one that's simple, easy to use, and leaves no evidence.

Ehhh that's a lot more complicated than that. But sure. How many would die naturally in the same given period due to things such as disease and natural outcomes, I prefer facts to biased and somewhat radical sources. We already know the constant population during certain periods so why not extrapolate how many died to famine rather than claim it as a glob that it is not? It worsens the claims that these people are trying to portray and actually makes the Indian government look much worse. As if demanding the money and reparations rather than a conversation. It's not hard to see why nobody is taking it seriously.

Run on sentence makes you wonder.

7/10 meme

Except for the fact that it does so on an unprecide dented scale allowing small groups of people to do things without necessarily being caught allowing for far more effective ways of control. Even without it, it's hard to argue for the existence of online forums when hackernews is a classic example of why it doesn't work when the majority of the 'intellectuals' have an inflated belief and understanding on topics they have no basic understand on. It's so bad that none of the actual subject matter experts talk here besides ones with financial interests in the products themselves and the experts fearful of retribution. The irony is almost comedic.

It really can't and it doesn't really work the way you think it does which is ironic that you'd think people on this site would be informed but I guess ycombinator has a financial conflict of interest in doing so. I wouldn't be surprised if they make posts on this topic with a very heavy bias like they do for a lot of their own investments.

I remember being shown this software almost a decade ago in dealing with chat in online video gaming and it ended becoming a serious conversation at the ACM SIG CHI about it's use and abuse for spreading certain things. At the end of the day, we realized it was an arms race and the only way to win, was to simply not play. But of course these ideas were rejected for it went against the financial interests of the parties involved.

I don't mean that. It's very uncommon for the wealthy to drink. It's not really a thing. They all think it's a scam and they don't like their kids near it either. It's the reason so many girls do horseback riding. It's a controlled environment.

I knew a well known chef that worked at a lot of these venues the people buying alcohol were upper middle class businessmen. High society doesn't really drink. Especially at social events. It was a surprise to me when he took me with him as a kid.

And this is why the rich stopped going to the club after the 70s and instead created their own private country clubs. Fun fact, contrary to popular opinion the majority of these clubs do not offer alcohol.

The lives people dream of are often expressions of fantasies and desires to escape their current situation. Personally everything is the same. I've never found joy from any of them.

It's a poor filter and well tech salaries are artificially high the reality is most companies can afford to hire tens of thousands of developers to work on projects but instead then only hire the bare minimum.

Algorithm interviews never worked it was just a filtering mechanism so they could access cheaper labor. The reality is you have no idea if someone is qualified for their job until you hire them. Everything else are just signals. Fuzzy at best.

Vandalism at its finest. Makes you wonder what a professional could do with the right motives.

Are we considering the UK the entirety of Northern Europe now? That's a bold claim. If I recall correctly most of northern Europe stayed in poverty long after the end of the British East India Company

Slavery still exists today. It's everywhere we just choose to ignore it for the small chance that one of us will become insanely wealthy. It's just greed. Everyone is capable of it in any time.

Honestly it wouldn't be as big of a deal if colleges accepted more applicants than they have seats for. The UofMN does just that and has a 70% acceptance rate and is a top public school. They have yet to run into any problems by doing so. While this might not work for colleges in say California or Ivy Leagues, for competitive and selective schools it's definitely an option almost none of them do.

Realistically everything you listed here all requires you to come from at least an upper middle class family to attempt. My family couldn't even afford for me to join a club in high school. There is in reality no real fair way of selecting candidates without knowing more personal information such as their families tax history, income level, demographics, citizenship, etc.

Yeah, I noticed that too. I think it's tied to the frame rate of the animations. Kinda weird

Well not exactly it was throughout Roman controlled territories throughout hundreds of years not just a single place. Often times mercenaries and raider groups. In places like the France especially. Many settlements and colonies were established and in places like north Germany it's predominately still Scandinavian. And I don't mean Denmark but Hamburg. It's where Hitler got his whole rhetoric about the superior Nordic race and the inferior slavs even though he was from Austria and Germanic not Scandinavian.

It's a tradition that was carried over from the vegetarian guard often recruited from the nords due to reaching their population limit early, they would often journey south to work in Roman controlled regions though it's different in how it was adapted just like how most groups take in traditions and beliefs from things they've seen elsewhere. It's not really indicative of anything really.
