mohammedbin··on Wisconsin’s $4.1B Foxconn factory boondoggle
It's the verge
mohammedbin··on Wikileaks' Assange says Ecuador seeking to end his asylum
Wait what was the potshot here? Was it the tone? "We all know"? Maybe but only very little. If you're going to get this triggered over smallest things than why not ban political topics altogether?
mohammedbin··on Wikileaks' Assange says Ecuador seeking to end his asylum
Dang this is for you since I can't reply directly.

There is substance to what they said- mass protest can create distraction.

And saying that left is good at organizing is no kind of flamebait.

Can you clarify what you're talking about?

mohammedbin··on IBM acquires Red Hat
Wine seems basic and immature in comparison to WSL not the other way.
mohammedbin··on U.S. Secretly Halted JPMorgan’s Growth for Years
It is bad because you are willing to believe one side (composed of multiple companies) when it's in their interest to say what they are saying and completely discount no just their article but their publication.
mohammedbin··on U.S. Secretly Halted JPMorgan’s Growth for Years
They and some other finance newspapers do seem like the last bastion of separation of facts and opinions

Why wouldn't you use WSL?
mohammedbin··on Gab.com Booted from Hosting Provider Due to User Account
Please don't make ad-hominem attacks, you're hurting HN as a community.
mohammedbin··on Gab.com Booted from Hosting Provider Due to User Account
I would say to you the same thing I said to your sibling- this is a tangential point.
mohammedbin··on Gab.com Booted from Hosting Provider Due to User Account
You're arguing a tangential point. Why is it okay to say - "kill all whites" and the platform let's you be but not okay for a user to say "kill jews" and the platform boots the user and yet gets booted itself.
mohammedbin··on SimpleSSR: Server-Side Rendering at Scale
No, it's not you. I read the title and I immediately understood the context and said to myself- welcome to 1997.
mohammedbin··on GPP – general-purpose preprocessor
Does it work on .NET core?
mohammedbin··on The best version manager I've found so far
I used to use nvm on my last machine. How are you finding asdf? I seem to remember nvm has a bit of a startup cost. Is asdf quick/instant?
mohammedbin··on Show HN: Ultimate Plumber – a tool for writing Linux pipes with live preview
This sounds interesting. Can you pull up some history and make a gist/pastie?
mohammedbin··on Show HN: Ultimate Plumber – a tool for writing Linux pipes with live preview
Why wasn't there a tool for this earlier? I am a very aggressive piper but I used to hit up arrow , a series of ctrl-w and enter and wait everytime.

Thank you

mohammedbin··on Nobody knows how to cite 4chan mathematicians who solved an interesting problem
Something I somehow doubt too many of you would know but 4chan, despite being considered an unsavoury place because of certain subsections of it (which I'm not proud to admit I visit to learn what "the other side" is talking about), has a lot of great communities as well and I usually find the discussion quality there better than reddit.

Also, in the context of this thread, 4chan is an ephemeral site so there is no such thing as link to content.

mohammedbin··on Amazon Pitches Facial Recognition to Monitor Immigrants
Good point,thank you. No offense but I guess your politics affects ours very directly.
mohammedbin··on Amazon Pitches Facial Recognition to Monitor Immigrants
So who is doing this? And why? I only know the top leaders of US politics and all of them pretend that they are holy and the other side is pure evil.

Funnily a child comment to you points out that "trump puts children in cage" and I followed the issue and somebody said it was an Obama era photo and they were detained by Obama because the so called parents were actually traffickers which I of course would support Obama for

mohammedbin··on Amazon Pitches Facial Recognition to Monitor Immigrants
I am not an American and I obviously have no right to meddle in your affairs. But only today Trump tweeted out Obama being against immigration and then from their the rabbit hole went deeper and there was a video of gasp, bernie sanders calling open borders a "Koch brother" conspiracy.

I'm beginning to wonder if anyone high up in America really has any integrity? I fail to see anyone who is consistent in their views and actions.

Google cooperating with Chinese censors knowing fully well how China persecutes Muslims (and that is something I do get emotional over), and Schmidt talking about bifurcation of internet soundbyte to make a case when its clear that the so called bifurcation is because of language.

It just all seems so staged at this point. And I don't mean to insult my America brothers here but I just want to know who actually is on the "right" side?

Edit: I see that the person who replied "politics I'd cesspool of.." Has his comment deleted. I understand that this is defeatist attitude and we are all smart people but better to talk than to silence him. Silencing is the reason I never saw this 10 year old video.

mohammedbin··on SQLite Code of Conduct
Dang why is this flagged?

Also as a muslim, it's very amusing to me that there are people who are fighting for me without my asking them and yet them telling me and other muslim it's bad.

It's hilarious what the politically programmed noise-makers think of themselves.

mohammedbin··on Trump Wants to Borrow Tech Workers from Amazon, Google, and Microsoft: Report
I wouldn't have minded if he had anything Original to say about Trump either. It's just the same regurgitation
mohammedbin··on Microlino – small electric car at 12K Euros
Good point about side impact. I wouldn't mind having one seat any way.
mohammedbin··on Status.github.com: “We're failing over a data storage system”
Snark, except snark only comes from people with little knowledge, as in this case you seem unaware that they are a completely independent entity as of today.
mohammedbin··on Chicago95 Linux Theme
I'm definitely a Windows fanboy if anything but in general I've found Linux doing font rendering better than Windows. And that's since the last 6 years. Which makes me think maybe it's my settings? If think it's only for Firefox on Windows. Would you have any tips?
mohammedbin··on Microlino – small electric car at 12K Euros
Thanks for the answer. I couldn't figure if the seats are one behind another or side by side? If side by side the it seems 7ft should be enough crumple zone. If one behind another then I'd like the car to have just one seat for safety reasons.

The car does look sleek.

mohammedbin··on Microlino – small electric car at 12K Euros
Really cool,- I'd like to see some discussion on safety too- something I wish car manufacturers talked more explicitly about.
mohammedbin··on Apple CEO Tim Cook Calling for Bloomberg to Retract Its Chinese Spy Chip Story
I agree with all you said but it seems that you misunderstood what I was trying to convey (or I what you were trying to convey)

I'm saying Bloomberg the publication is likely right about the story because they are taking a stand that hurts Bloomberg the persons presidential aspirations. They wouldn't have ran it unless it really was something.

mohammedbin··on Apple CEO Tim Cook Calling for Bloomberg to Retract Its Chinese Spy Chip Story
Something I posted elsewhere -

I highly doubt Bloomberg would run this story without a lot of faith in this. Michael Bloomberg has strongly hinted at plans to run for president on a democratic ticket and it's in his interest to undermine trumps anti-china agenda and something you can expect his eponymous news org to help him with.

mohammedbin··on Ask HN: One week in NYC and want to find clients/contracts
Interesting question. If you manage to find any- would you create a post about how you went about it?
