It's more a bit like saying "It's great we landed on the moon and all, but shouldn't we concentrate on making spaceships safe first?"

There is no hard data for the "invisible hand of the market" but people still promote it. It's just how things work, people have ideals, and they push them into the spotlight to be discussed and talked about, which leads to s

He does somewhat address his own premise. He is basically saying that figuring out who to exclude is simply not worth it. Maintaining a system for deciding "who is worthy of help" is more costy than just giving everybody help.

At least until VPNs are made illegal because of the profits lost by not being able to track you, aka privacy piracy. Besides, it's used by terrorists and pedophiles as well. Think of the children.

I moved to Norway when I was 5 (from Sweden). While I technically qualify as a foreigner, I would say that I'm a vanilla Norwegian guy. I can't really comment on being biased or not, that's obviously not the sort of thing I w

Upvoting based on "this comment brings up good points and arguments" rather than "this comment says things that I think are true" helps fight against the community becoming an echo chamber.

I live in Norway, and I think it's pretty close to an utopia. Not that there aren't flaws, but people tend to complain for the sake of complaining. This often makes outsiders think that it's all just a facade and that behind

I agree that if you start using the website, setting more cookies to remember choices and such is perfectly fine. I was referring to when you first land on the website, that first page load.

In my opinion it is actually pretty scary. As I see it, a website should upon landing either set zero or one cookie, depending on if the website has some sort of persistent functionality (like a message to first time visitors). The other 43

I agree that the chances are pretty small, but is that "good enough" when it comes to formally verifying things? (I know next to nothing about formal verification)

Surely the implementation of the mathematics may be subject to errors, just like any implementation of anything? There is nothing that is so perfect that humans cannot err while applying it.

But is that because you don't have any other options available, or because your company told you to use inferior tools?

I wonder if some sort of compatibility shim library will eventually pop up for Node.js to combat this issue.

Definitely, but no way Lenovo can even get close to the same sort of justification. It's reasonable that my workplace monitor and manage how their network bandwidth is being used. It's not reasonable that Lenovo gets to spy on my

Your comment here on HN would be marked as spam for using the word "Fade". As would mine. I totally agree that Fade spamming Yik Yak is bad, and pretending that they were wronged by Yik Yak is ridiculous. But that wrong doesn&#x27

Drawing rape, and raping somebody and taking pictures, is exactly as far apart as drawing murder, and murdering somebody and taking pictures. I'm on board with talking about whether drawing rape and murder is moral, but in no way can i

I was under the impression that PNG is actually quite good at compressing areas of a singular solid color (or in this case solid transparency). It just fails at every-pixel-is-different cases, where JPG is better. Furthermore, I'm pret

If the resource names are still "static" your resources can still be blocked. But if they are altered slightly every time, you may also thwart caching, right?

But I don't want to hand off my FB, Google, etc to various websites. If a site only offers that, I simply close it and find another part of the web to browse instead.

That logic doesn't always hold up. You could make tiny tiny alterations to some plastic container, put some random bump here or there, or make the flap stick out a little more, and the plastic container might suddenly not be usable due

What I don't really understand is how this could be used to stop piracy. Sure, you could stop recording on a machine with Intel Management Engine, but wouldn't pirates simply use a computer without Intel Management Engine to rip m

Might the === comparison be faster, since the underlying JavaScript engine doesn't need to determine how the two types should be cast back and forward to be compared?

The issue for me is then, where do we draw the line of "enabling" copyright infringement? I'm pretty sure that if certain industries had their way in the 90s, peer2peer communication between regular people would be illegal fo

It seems to me that they are very much different markets, just like how gasoline and cars aren't the same market. Why would the company that makes electronics also be responsible for making ink? The only reason we even have that idea i
