It's not an argument, it's someone's thoughts on an observation he had. Why does HN always do this? They'll see that the article is an opinion piece and instantly go on the defensive. Inferiority complex maybe?

Yup. I'm in disbelief after seeing that number. Digital government IDs of any kind are something that no government on Earth can securely provide. We're all too immature and stunted with software design still.

Justice were seen as the heirs to follow in Daft Punk's footsteps after their debut. They kinda lost it after that though, IMO.

It works well if your act allows you to get away with it (fellow Frenchman Danger also has a headpiece). I don't think anyone really knows any of the members of Ghost aside from the main guy.

Because men and women aren't as equal as everyone likes to think. And here's the best part: that's OK! It's OK to admit that men are better at some things than women, and vice versa. There's a reason why the men w

What is brittle about 0s and 1s? Do you think bit rot is a real thing?

I wonder how this compares to FullContact, a company built on doing this very thing.

That all may be true, but that's unfortunately the state of the market. If you want to keep developers, you need to be cognizant of this fact and adjust accordingly. "Today, architecture feels more like technology shopping than t

I think being able to prove that a program can be correct is getting close to P=NP territory.

One thing that sets software apart from other engineering disciplines is that they are grounded in physics (bits running on a semiconductor doesn't matter for this discussion) and have been around (in some form) for thousands of years.

People just can't let something from 21 years ago go, can they? The band's done a complete 180 on everything regarding digital distribution, and it's been this way for years (I'm sure owning their masters and own label h

Because they don't care, and they have 0 competition (streaming on YT is a joke).

Obama accomplished next to nothing of note in his 8 years. ACA, while a start, largely doesn't change anything about how the healthcare industry operates. He accomplished nothing with regards to our failing infrastructure. The alphabet

Maybe it's better for the world that Google doesn't do anything AI research-related.

Wow...looks pretty damn good. Wonder how intense the rewrite was; David Brevik said that much of the game relied on the precise resolution and framerate for everything to work. It wasn't a matter of just upping the resolution and every

You and I both, only problem is that we've been waiting since before Trump took office for a crash...

I mean, a real hacker would just assemble it themselves. You can get all the parts needed. You can get custom caps printed with whatever symbols you want.

What's wrong with small caps?

A year ago, Greenwald was a hero here. Now, everyone downvotes any mention of him because he reported a story across party lines. Truly pathetic. I fucking hate HN sometimes.

Seriously. Reminds me of those local news segments of old restaurants closing down and everyone being interviewed are sad and are reminiscing about when they used to go to it "as a kid".

I mean, unless they ask for the code, whoever reads it believes it, right?

>Discover music from people. Not algorithms. Unsolicited opinion: Ok, fine, but music discovery algorithms are one of the coolest things to come out of the Internet. When Pandora first launched, it was mind-blowing. Now it's common

Ah, BlueJ...takes me back to Intro to CS where an entire class was spent on getting that program alone to run on everyone's computer.

Does competent to you mean marching the military back into Syria on the first day in office?

Yup, I'm increasingly straying away from Amazon. If I need a new set of cooking utensils, do I wade through the hundreds of Chinese no-name entries on Amazon with hundreds of questionable reviews all across the spectrum, or do I just p

Didn't they lay off employees that worked on Rust projects like Servo a couple months ago? And now they do this?

Nah, I think we're fucked now. The Internet is a completely different place than what it was in 2011. Any reddit alternative that springs up now is immediately populated with spammers, conspiracy nuts, identity politic types...you know
