Thank you for the benefit of the doubt. I am not a sock puppet -- if you look at all those accounts you'll see that absolutely none have any overlap chronologically in terms of posting (well, until last night) or voting.
Sorry dang. But, I got deeply offended by being called a liar. I've posted projects on this current account that link to my real identity, so it was important I guess for me to clear my name. I'm also petty like that, but not normally to the extent that it causes problems. I think I've gotten one prior and much milder warning from you over the course of my time on HN. I'll go back to lurking for a while for now.
He won't. He is very afraid that his perception is indeed skewed and that he may actually learn something. Just like some other commenters in this branch.
You can't attack people personally here, no matter wrong they are. When encountering a trainwreck of a thread, like this one, please resist the temptation to make it worse.

In which sense is this "obvious", hubert123? I am really interested in what the comment meant by "restricted to humans". Try to be explicit in explaining.
The problem is obvious and needs no explanation. The post in question extrapolates that all women are gold diggers from a single study that purports to have found manipulative behavior in a few groups of monkeys.
I switched around 3.1, though granted I was still a novice programmer then and didn't have to port any legacy code. I had so many issues with Unicode in Python 2 (some may have been my own ignorance at the time, but with 3 a lot of those issues magically disappeared). Since text processing / NLP is my main focus, it was an easy decision to switch.
> Google pulled out of China because Gmail got hacked and Google assumed the hackers were affiliated with the Chinese government.
Then it seems pulling out was the right move. If Chinese citizens trusted that Google could secure their communications, and Google was then unable to, that put certain citizens at risk of persecution. Better to have them using a Chinese email provider where the default assumption is that everything is monitored, and then use the proper tools for actual private communication.
By this logic, should they pull out of the US too because Google (and Facebook both) has been completely pwned by the US government? Not meaning to be snide.
Gmail was never hosted in china. When Google pulled out, it meant shitting down the china local search engine, with the one through HK eventually being blocked. Gmail wasn't even blocked in china until a couple of years ago.
