Same here, there is systematic and institutionalized racism in Hollywood, I'm glad China is making their moves in Hollywood, maybe we will see more Korean and Chinese celebrities appearing in these films.
Interesting since the first Japanese male actor was a sensation amongst white women of the early 1900s silent film era, and thus Asian Americans were erased from mainstream films.
The more I study American history, the Japanese interment camps, the racist treatment of Asian Americans, the genocide against 50+ million Native Americans, Opium war, Boxer rebellion, vietnam war, hiroshima, the more I'm convinced that Nazi's escaped and helped build the Reich that they could've had in a far away new land.

Where r/conspiracy and r/redpill meet... Presumably you're talking about Sessue Hayakawa, and the same nonsense appears on his Wikipedia page, supported by citations that don't actually support the assertions.

I would recommend studying some Chinese or Japanese history too if you think American historical behaviour is in any way particularly notable, other than an unusual willingness for Americans to want to atone to it, compared to most other countries.

You appear to believe the Nazis were time-travelers, or simply have a particularly weak understanding of the chronology of the items you've listed.
Funny you say that about HN, for a lot of us veterans on HN, we argue the exact same thing happened to HN.
HN today has deteriorated, what used to be a liberal and open minded place to explore new ideas, it has become a self promoting (especially if you are YC fam) to a large degree, and heavy policing.
With the rise of cryptocurrency I saw a lot more shill accounts manipulating comments and such.
So many of us have left HN, maybe there's something like HN out there?
edit: care to explain the downvotes? why is it anything I post on HN are automatically downvoted and flagged? It's so weird, right after I commented on that Israeli-spy thread too.
I tried freelancing for a while but it really didn't make economic sense.
there are so many other ways to make money that unless you absolutely enjoy getting reamed by scope creeps and coding, freelancing is definitely not it.
2) give it away, building market share and awareness
3) shake down corporations making money from your open source product in the form of "licensing & maintenance agreement*
4) Trickle down effect on non corporate users who in turn feed back into the loop by performing QA and community support.
I personally believe this is the future of software, at least someone who is competing against VC funded proprietary entities looking to IPO and not really give a shit about the product that brought them in a position to raise money.
What do you guys think? This is just my opinion of course downsides to this model.
One major downside of openin the doors to everybody is you get a ton of noises. People who shouldn't be using it complaining and it's always tricky to manage, especially when people feel entitled to it as it is free.
An argument to this noise is that any noise is better than no noise, meaning any type of engagement good or bad is considered a plus for the app, to discover new shit
This. It's all about supply and demand, stuffing keywords to game the SERP is a short term tactic.
If you have content that people dig, Google will automatically send you more traffic.
If you have mediocre run of the mill startup content blog, you are shit out of luck because you are doing the same thing everyone else who failed is doing
