Do you have a better idea? I don’t.

No. Why would you think it is? Could you point to post-1980 precedent?

None of those have adult communities in the rounding error of the scale Tumblr does.

Perhaps that kind of distortion is a good thing. Perhaps the market isn’t an all-seeing all-knowingly omnipotent entity independent of the humans that created and participate in it. IOW you should explain why “market distortions” are inhere

On one hand I love these and consider them good advice. On the ther they’re often used as a weak crutch for poor programming practices, usually by developers who believe any amount of money spent on infrastructure is worth it to avoid the c

It’s relevant regardless of tenure or history because all indications are that he votes for Verizon’s interests, not the public’s.

This 1000%. The companies you mentioned don’t innovate on tech, they innovate on sucking up to executives and convincing them to buy things that the executive’s own staff recommends against. They have extraordinarily well-oiled sales machin

I think any prognosis here is dire. There’s no going back from where we are.

I hate this argument so much, any along the lines of "people have always said this". It's not true that just because something has been raised as a concern before that it can't possible be a concern now. The world change

You don’t see a problem with users being completely unable to predict with any accuracy how good the quality of what they’re buying is?

Remember that you can pretty much bank on: . When a Republican politician accuses someone else of something, they're doing it themselves. . When a Republican politician makes a claim on controversial legislation, the opposite of that c

What should happen is irrelevant to the conversation. We’re talking about what WOULD happen.

This claim keeps popping up. I’ve yet to see it include a citation. Maybe today will be different.

Are you asking if statistics are racist or sexist?

by 1_2__4 9y ago
No, this is does not always happen. This is why we're here discussing this. Why are so many HN commenters so quick to just flatly ignore the fact that the very reason you're seeing this conversation in the first place is because l

I feel like a lot of the arguments around immigration - including H1-Bs - boil down to two pretty straightforward opposing views of immigration: 1) "We" have built something great and unique, and we want others to be able to parta

Are you paid for this opinion? I have to imagine yes.

To me, the thing that gives the game away is that every time a company talks about "AI" both current and near future in general terms it's blue-sky, the-future-is-robots glorious (not really) automated future. Then when they

Given the whole article is about how some people do care your dismissive comment is as pointless as it is incorrect.

This website is garbage. Look at their other articles. They’re not supporting free speech, they’re pissed they and their ilk can’t peddle lies as easily anymore.

Yeah anytime someone says GUIs are “easier” my question is always “for what ?”. Not because a CLI is always (or even usually, depending on how you slice it) superior, but because a GUI makes some things better and some things a lot worse.

Or it's because more shady merchants (drugs dealers) accept BTC. Why does anyone think it's more in-depth than that?

Maybe from a tech perspective yes. From a marketing and PR perspective this was a disaster of epic proportions.

This is the Washington Examiner. They exist to be a conservative mouthpiece. Not a single thing they write is unbiased or even has any pretensions to be.

You offer not a shred of evidence to back up your claim. Why would anyone believe it?
