Aww, you took a news item about Islamic fundamentalism in Bangladesh and put in a comment about gender politics in the US south. This is sure to get up-voted, because you know, Amerika is bad. But just to be sure, you put in 'I may get downvoted'. That was a cute touch. No one on HN can resist that combination.


In case you're curious, you're getting downvoted because you told the emperor that he isn't wearing any clothes.


Hey angrybits! My original plan was to spin my HN score counter down to zero by making true and blunt statements about the drivel posted on this site (which would, natch, be down voted).

Communication to me from a person identifying as a moderator suggests to me that the deplorable tone and content of this forum is managed and encouraged by moderators.

I have now lost interest in this site. I'm now hanging out lobste.rs which I find much more meaningful.


That's not true. The root comment broke the HN guidelines, but that reply did so as well, and by being personally acidic, was worse.


I always thought Buddhism was an off-shoot of Hinduism - a kind of cleaned up version by the Buddha, who was born Hindu.


But it serves to show Amerika in a bad light, which pays the bills. The rest is just detail.


Are there any French companies worth spying on?


Airbus are the usual target.


Or Thales, Safran, Dassault, banks,...


They are all at least a generation behind the US technologies.


How do we know its not a fake?


This is a nifty find, and might make a little bump in the popularity of an acknowledged classic, but faking it would hardly be worth risking her career & reputation.

The granddaughter's job is managing L'Engle's estate.

Plus, it seems to me that a fake would be quite possible to expose -- the age of the paper/ink, uniqueness of typewriter characters etc.. It's one page of an entire paper draft of the novel, typewritten (presumably on a single machine) 50 or so years ago.


"Rich people in the West, they have not touched dead bodies, fresh wounds, rotten things"

1. Grandma's funeral. You stole her glasses. Tee Hee. Boy was she cold.

2. Soccer. But you bit the other guy too.

3. That sandwich in the rucksack, left over the weekend. Eww.


1. You can apply for permanent residency under the extraordinary individual or highly qualified individual (if you have a specialty profession e.g. STEM)

2. Academic and non-profit jobs don't have a cap. You could take such a position and then apply for permanent residency.

3. You can apply for the green card lottery (I'm assuming you are born in France).


I like 2. and 3. Could I do 3. while doing 2?


Yes, as far as I know the lottery is independent of anything else, but you should check the USCIS website and consult an immigration lawyer.

Be careful with the lawyer: try and get one through a recommendation of someone you trust who has used their services. Because of the high demand for immigration into the United States, there are many unscrupulous people involved in such matters.


Superman can do it.


So can Jebediah Kerman.


I think it is too low, for a person of your experience and past salary history and the responsibilities that you will be taking on.


At least this comment pays sarcastic homage to the lack of information in the question.


We really should discourage these obscure questions.


I doubt all Europeans are as sanctimonious.
