I apologize if I did something wrong. It's a political post and I am just trying to make the point that we should hope and expect FB to be moral and do the right thing. They control so much of our information that they should make sure far right ideologies (ok, far left also) should never be able to manipulate the data for their purposes.

If such a discussion is not expected on HN, I am probably in the wrong place.

FB and Google are huge companies and control majority of the information people get today. We should want them to be moral arbiters. Otherwise what else can we do? Most of us are so gullible.

Good. We can expect such behavior from vile conservative companies like Cambridge Analytics, funded by Mercer and the cause for Brexit. Why are they even allowed on FB? Such extreme groups should never be allowed.

No it's not different. I just said that not many presidents have targeted and killed their own citizens. Lincoln was probably one of them. Perhaps one could argue Obama was in a civil war with Americans of the Muslim faith / extremists.

One could argue it was justified. I would personally feel horrible if it was justified that way. But, hey, it's not my country.

Let's celebrate his amazing life.

"The diagnosis of motor neurone disease came when Hawking was 21, in 1963. At the time, doctors gave him a life expectancy of two years.[253][254]"

It must be quite taxing to have been given that diagnosis at such a young age, and then live to a relatively old age. I wonder how that marginally impacted his view on life, work and relationships.

Sad he didn't get the Nobel.

It's good. Let's make sure the following conspiracy theories and extreme views are highlighted:

Anything about men's rights, "rape culture", white "oppression", "72 genders", marxism, neoliberalism, fascism, Antifa, conservatism, libertarianism, white nationalist, black nationalism, "Irish" nationalism, hindutva, islamophobia, islamophilia, Catholic church paedophilia, pizza gate, Russia collusion, 9/11 was an inside job, 9/11 was by Al Qaeda, George Soros, Koch brothers, uranium one, Castro Trudeau, PewDiePie, Alex Jones, Rachel Maddow, Sean hannity, morning Joe, ... Just to begin with.

It would be nice if the list of conspiracies and extremist views was a open source list so that we get an honorable and democratic process of deciding it as a people and community. I am sure we as good human beings will be able to peacefully maintain such a list. I wouldn't mind the great overlords of YouTube to maintain such a list either.

Obama is also I think one of very few presidents who explicitly targeted and killed American natural born citizen. Not accidentally, but actually targeted. Didn't even bother hiding it.

But I agree with the original point, GOP did start this mess on the lie of weapons of mass destruction.

I gave a much more neutral source below.

Why is it patronizing? In media and film, such requests are frequently made.

Exactly. This is very troubling : "But we are not going to recruit someone just because they are a woman."

How else do you expect to get gender parity? It should be important to specifically source and hire women.

Of course it is. It allows for fantastic commentary on how bad race relations in America are, and where the division is actually coming from ...

I use vim bindings in zsh, tmux (tmux modality plugin) and chrome (vimium). Pretty much 95 percent of my computer interactions right there.

Why not just use vim? Why bother with other editors? I have changed jobs but carry my dot files with me.
