Are you going to sell your engine and toolchain too?

An excellent game could change perceptions though. I'd be more concerned about how easy it would be to reverse engineer a web game compared to a native binary. If it's easy to bot or cheat, any competitive aspect will be ruined.

There are regulations (European working time directive). The problem is that employers will ask you to waive the rights afforded to you by that directive...

This has got to be a new record for me. I made it as far as "I’m a smart guy." and closed the tab. I understand people are deliberately controversial to attract readership, but seriously...

Well as long as they specifically stated it! We can totally rely on their word.

Perhaps it would be possible to use the NSA backdoors to the public's advantage. Would it be possible to systematically scan the internet for vulnerable infrastructure and exploit the backdoor to gain access and then patch the device&#

But as long as it passes through your bank account, the tax has already been paid. I could convert all my savings to gold or bitcoin, but the government has already had their slice by the time that happens, which wouldn't be much of a

That could work if you were a freelancer (although it would make life significantly more complicated). However, no established employer would agree to pay cash or bitcoin. It'd be highly illegal and no business would want to take that

Whenever I've asked this same question, there are always a few who say "stop being complacent, get out and become an anarchist" but that is completely unfeasible for most individuals. Becoming a radical requires a complete a

I posed this same question and the best answer (for a UK citizen) was to write to my MP. I did that and got a canned response back that addressed none of my points. I agree that it seems futile. I'm vehemently opposed to censorship but

That would be impossible in the UK. Salary is paid directly into one's bank account and tax is deducted before it even gets there.

all drivers need to be able to drive well under stress But wouldn't you say a driving test is to driving as a technical interview is to a development role?

That doesn't really answer his question. Why would somebody want to inconvenience developers?

You don't have to have your pride crushed to learn. Just accept that there are other smart(er) people around you and seek advice rather than incite it.

Yeah, facebook should be at the fingertips of every man woman and child. Facebook leads to healthy social lifestyles and friendships, cultures and communities. Just look at life before facebook existed. Never any healthy societies or social

So he should be punished because firstly people couldn't infer that he was joking and secondly still couldn't infer that he was joking after he clarified that he was joking? 'jk' is really not that hard to figure out giv

Is this really relevant to HN? There's nothing of substance in the content at all. Reddit is a much more relevant platform for mildly interesting stuff that's happening on the internet. I wish the mods would be more aggressive wit

If I were a child though, my measure of a good purchase decision would probably be how much entertainment I got for my money. In that case, blasting $50 on a freemium game might not seem like a bad purchase at all. What will you teach your

That wouldn't stop somebody from adding a flat facade over the whole ATM.

I wonder though, would anybody actually use evidence gathered from Tor in that manner? That would mean revealing that they can feasibly do it and they'd lose a huge intelligence asset. They'd get to see the information, but they wouldn't be

I don't understand why they felt the need to defy standards with powershell. It's not similar to anything else i'm familiar with. All they had to do was copy bash and port some of the GNU tools.

Yeah, the money has to come from somewhere. But the point is, the loss could've been mitigated by making better decisions. The bank has less incentive to change their behaviour when the customer will ultimately cover the cost of their mista

Out of curiosity, are there financial institutions that are actually still using COBOL?

He means the bank should take responsibility and chalk up the stolen cash as their loss. What's more likely to happen though is that the bank will pass the cost of the loss on to customers (in the form of increased prices).
