How about we let the drama stay in the drama subreddits, and in the non-drama subreddits we act like adults. For fuck's sake, not everything in life has to be a cause.

So... What exactly is the cost to government being justified here? Usually a tax is to pay for something, in this case it seems to be just "hey we want some of that money, give us some". What the fuck.

My suggestion: use a nonsense answer and use it for all of them. I don't reuse passwords but for exactly the reasons you state the answer to all my security challenges is something like "Because a kipper doesn't red the blue.

Combine this with an increasing trend in grocery and drug stores to only stock 1 "name brand" and everything else is house-branded and we're in for a rough time. For now you can still use brand loyalty, but what happens when

You are completely wrong, as any biologist with even a passing knowledge of geese will tell you. They are absolutely aggressive and vicious.

Yet managers are incentivized to make their employees successful and are generally considered to be doing well when their employees' careers advance. I don't know why you think they're a hindrance. If you find no managers eve

The Air France example is not a good one - there's no indication the pilots didn't hear or heed the warning, it's that a loud voice blaring "STALL!" was only one of multiple "pay attention to me now" thing

I remember asking someone why Cyberpunk died and he said, a dystopian and orwellian future where we lose our individuality in favor of technical advancement? Why would anyone be interested in that as fiction, it's what we're livin

Yes they are and yes it is. Marketing is trying to convince you otherwise and I'm a little shocked you swallow it so easily.

As an aside, while the WSJ may have some credibility it's not that far away ideologically from Bretibart. In particular I was reading an article there recently about the Wells Fargo scandal and despite it not being an editorial the ent

This is certainly a lot of words, which I think I can summarize as "smartphones are easy and powerful and flexible and DSLRs should be as easy and powerful and flexible too". Which is sort of silly, it's like saying buses car

So calling your opponent "Crooked <name>" and repeatedly referring to them by what is effectively a slur was a... Democrat strategy?

I think you're giving far too much intellectual credit to what is basically just a feminist rant dressed up as concern trolling for the industry.

I know nobody wants to admit this but this is only going to get worse. India and China are going to eat the world, because this is a numbers game.

It's hard not to see this as a life-and-death struggle between people who think public transportation is the way of the future and people who think cars are the future. I know which way the HN crowd leans, but I feel compelled to point

Not smart of them to have a product guy write this. Even if he had it would have been better delivered (if shadow written) by someone in engineering. They're customers are not necessarily people who want to hear technical claims from P

You are falling for Google's PR-speak. This kind of language they've used for literally dozens of dead projects/products over the years. This is the language Google uses when they say "we quit". It's couched in
