What are you talking about when saying "about to commit genocide"? can you back it with facts? is there a secret message you intercepted? if so please let us all know so we can stop it form happening
Or do you mean a real genocide of Norway's Jewish community that Norwegians stood by and did nothing while most of them were murdered during the Holocaust?
Aren't you risking that someone from FMC Technologies is either Jewish or Israeli? Don't you think making such baseless racist claims is likely to hurt your own career?
Perhaps it's normal and popular to be anti Israeli in Norway, but if you don't provide proof to your claim that Israel is "about to commit genocide", someone might just end up filing a libel suit against you.
But I can't blame you. Reading this from Wikipedia explains things a little:
>"In 2010, the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation reported that anti-Semitic attitudes were prevalent at some Norwegian schools. Teachers at schools with large shares of Muslims revealed that Muslim students often "praise or admire Adolf Hitler for his killing of Jews", that "Jew-hate is legitimate within vast groups of Muslim students" and that "Muslims laugh or demand [teachers] to stop when trying to educate about the Holocaust". Additionally that "while some students might protest when some express support for terrorism, none object when students express hate of Jews" and that it says in "the Quran that you shall kill Jews, all true Muslims hate Jews". Most of these students were said to be born and raised in Norway. One Jewish father also told that his child after school had been taken by a Muslim mob (though managed to escape), reportedly "to be taken out to the forest and hanged because he was a Jew".[53][54]"
I would try to take you seriously and prove all you said above is factually wrong if you wouldn't have made this comment on another topic:
> "many of the stories trumpeted by Western and Saudi-backed media highlighting Syrian regime's brutality have turned out to be fake (or worse, some massacres blamed on regime were actually carried out by CIA-sponsored armed Syrian "rebels"). "
So you are supporting the Syrian regime, and think it's all done by the CIA and not Asad's people, or did I read it wrong?
I admire the effort you put in trying to convince others with your point, but calling Israel a murderous regime and in the same time protecting Syria and saying it's all done by the CIA is not helping you make people agree with you.
If you are not being paid by someone to write this, than I don't really think you are going to make any difference in the world, the best you are doing is making sure any US company, Israeli company, or company with Jewish people in the world will not hire you as a programmer / whatever it is that you do, and if you are not a programmer or anything hacker related, than what are you doing in Hacker news besides starting flame wars?
You are no better than the "Hasbara" you call, count the number of comments you have made in a thread that was long ago removed from HN (just because of users like you who started a flame war in it).
Please go and do something productive, build something, share your code, what have you done lately that helped humanity?
I don't take you seriously, sorry, you also claim that:
> "many of the stories trumpeted by Western and Saudi-backed media highlighting Syrian regime's brutality have turned out to be fake (or worse, some massacres blamed on regime were actually carried out by CIA-sponsored armed Syrian "rebels"). "
I wouldn't take that user seriously, he/she also claims that:
> "many of the stories trumpeted by Western and Saudi-backed media highlighting Syrian regime's brutality have turned out to be fake (or worse, some massacres blamed on regime were actually carried out by CIA-sponsored armed Syrian "rebels"). "
e.g. he is supporting the Syrian regime, and thinks it's all done by the CIA and not Asad's people.
I think it's really nice of them... having Google say something nice about something Microsoft did is not taken for granted, and feels more like just talented people aknowledging the work of other talented people.
Finally! (not related to TypeScript being released, right?)
Sarcasm aside, I really wanted Dart to succeed, but I want to say, too little, too late.
TypeScript has interop in day 1, and is 100% seemless, they won, that's it, end of story.
Even if Dart VM is amazing, even if the language is genius, how can you beat a langage that is just JavaScript + static typing?
I would shift resources out of the Dart project for now, join the TypeScript team and do a Google-Microsoft bipartisan project for the benefit of the world...
I'm sure some people from Microsoft are getting job offers from Google as we speak...
I'm very glad this is HN front page, my site became actually blocked for all users because of a tour we had that used a floating overlay, but I still don't understand, is it a bug? or just following the specs? is there a concensus on this? if so, should we expect it to be fixed? or copied by other browsers?
What kind of sold off the sarcasm for me was this sentence: " Once you launch, then millions of people will know about you, including competitors,"
yea, right, they all wait in line, just one techcrunch article / hacker news front page and the millions will flow.
So being that obviously sarcastic, if someone reads it and doesn't get the sarcasm and follows the "suggestions", then, well, I guess, no harm done and they just deserve it.
I agree with the OP,
potentially yes, if a startup focuses only on a few core products, and buys only them in volume, they might get the same wholesale prices as the chain supermarkets, but since they don't have the same costs, they can offer lower prices to the customers, or at least in theory...

And since 7.5% of Oslo is Muslim (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam_in_Norway#By_county), it's not surprising that you have these opinions.
