Please provide sources, hint: make sure not to include people asking questions and not categorically wanting to lynch the horrible rapist based on a single story and you interpreting that as "creep defenders".

Hackers care about 99% of what everyone else also cares about (you know them operating in the realm of humans.) What a ridiculous point.

Yes. By Chomsky:

"Anarcho-capitalism, in my opinion, is a doctrinal system which, if ever implemented, would lead to forms of tyranny and oppression that have few counterparts in human history. There isn't the slightest possibility that its (in my view, horrendous) ideas would be implemented, because they would quickly destroy any society that made this colossal error."

Except we're seeing its horrendous ideas flourishing.

You have no evidence to be smearing someone's name and defaming them on HN in this way. Stop this behavior until there is legal grounds for doing so.

Speak up HN, don't let voices like this dominate and represent you. Of course what the OP said was not victim blaming. How ridiculous! Several times the commenter expressed doubt and kept asking if he/she is wrong and how would like to be corrected if that is the case.

You come in here with the high moral ground and make such wild indignant proclamation that "men are not bears." Please take this to another community.

> How drunk someone is around another human being has nothing to do with the perpetrator’s culpability.

This is just stupid on its face. DUI exists for a reason and DUI tests are given not because police assumes the drivers, of course would, "take responsibility" and not drink, but because the police exercises common sense if an idiot driver is unable to walk a straight line.

What's this whole guilt shaming all about? And must the voice in the video be British and the sound of a girl on the verge of crying? Finally I don't think there is anything wrong with more farmlands in poor countries in South America. That's extremely hypocritical when the West did the same thing only a couple of hundred years ago and continues to do to this day, but oh if the poor South Americans learn how to farm on their own, the world will end.

The answer to side-effects of human progress is not stopping it, it's to accelerating the growth of technology so we can mitigate the issues we create and fix the harms the cause. F*ck Google!
