It does if they bring all aspects of their traditional culture with them. Do you want tribalism gaining a stronger foothold in US?

As a native English speaker, I'm having a lot of trouble parsing your comment.

Why is rail pushed so hard in place of roads?

Roads - lots of things other than trains can use them. Vehicles of all sizes can be scaled up and down to meet demand. Way less money. Way easier to respond to unexpected line breakages.

Or even better, throw all that money that would be going to rail to eliminate short haul to electric airplane research and subsidising - far more useful to everyone in the EU rather than just those who happen to live near and want to travel between 2 major cities(which I presume is a requisite for the high speediness)

Who the hell is investing in this? When/what's the return going to be?

An entire site that depends on mostly reposting someone elses copyrighted material.

Reddit's funding (for what it is), is something out of the dotcom era.

> Imagine a car wash not allowing me to wash my blue car because someone robbed a bank in one of the same color.

What a bad analogy.

> telling people to contact their ISPs about this, when it's so obvious that the problem is on Netflix's end

They are telling them to contact their ISP because either their ISP directly or the ISPs customers(or the person complaining) are using the ISPs IP addresses to circumvent geo restrictions.

So, I'd wager it's more likely the person/the persons household themselves have either wittingly or unwittingly been using something(e.g. Hola VPN) which enables others to proxy through their home IP (& vice versa)

> Plenty of Irish software developers -- they also leave Ireland and found companies in other countries like Stripe.

Geez, the smarminess in this comment - unreal.

2 students who graduated secondary school went to college in usa, lived in usa and started a company called stripe. they were college students who dropped out.

> Saying that "oh, arab countries should take them" is beyond brutal, it's barbaric.

It's really not, so it's quite irrational to include that level of hyperbole to make your point emotionally loaded rather than factual.

Afghanistan is bordered by Pakistan and Iran - both countries which are a helluva lot more culturally and religiously aligned with the majority of Afghans.

> every country, including my own, that has participated in military excurisions in the middle east in the last 30 years has created this crisis for themselves

This is nonsense. Religious fundamentalism & oppression of the populace has created this situation - both of which were aided & abetted by (you guessed it) Iran & Pakistan. Both countries are the biggest funders of the religious fundamentalists as well as offering state level support and safety for those leaders.

> When I was 15, I had nudes of a 17 year old

Did you have those nudes with the consent & permission of the 17 year old in question?

Is there more to this story than you are letting on?

> We got a big bang for the seat belt. But backup cameras cost around $5.7 million dollars in cost for every one life saved.

Where does that figure come from?

Car sellers don't sell OEM cameras at cost. They have a ridiculous markup (between 5x & 10x and yes that includes certification & testing). Your $500 dollar reverse cam is cost at ~$50.

By mandating them, the 'luxury!' margin will magically disappear.

Hmmmmm...irony

> As it stands, in Los Angeles, median one-bedroom seems to be about $2,362/month, and a minimum wage job there, before taxes only pays $2,462 per month.

Never been to Los Angeles so correct me if I'm wrong but is Los Angeles a small town or is a massive, sought-after city with a ~4 million population and ~18 million greater-area population?
