Which outweighs helping humans with that same money?

That seems like a pretty generous interpretation of >Software should be free of bugs. At the very least, updates should not introduce new bugs. But sure, who wouldn't agree with you? Who doesn't strive for that? Bugs happen, ev

I don't feel this list is very reasonable. At least, it's far too dogmatic. 1. Yeah right. I assume you write software for a living; I'm not sure how you got through writing that sentence. 2. I agree that this should be 100%

People have tried, but what's your suggestion? Sanctions? War? What do you think the end result of either of those would be?

Not the OP, but I would say that yes, sometimes the risk is just too high. There's no inherent right to be granted a security clearance. To your point though, I'm not sure how a blanket ban of e.g. naturalized citizens from countr

The other guy seems to believe that the business can survive with a designer and a shopify site. Maybe he's wrong, or maybe the existing customer base and relationships are the real value here and the code is worthless.

I tend to agree, but look what happened; supply went through the roof, and the four year degree is today's equivalent of a 1960 high school diploma. It's not like all of the people going to college are getting much out of it. It&#

Yeah, I'm sure you've never made a typo on a phone. You really believe I confuse 'taught' with 'thought'? You made a throwaway account just to leave this brain dead comment?

This sounds great if you buy into the ridiculous notion that everyone is basically equal and would thrive in college. This is not at all the case.

>Leading your life as if you may not have the ability to materially change the world isn't a bad idea. As if, what; this is the way things have always been? College attendance, funding, and cirriculum are akin to laws of physics? Th

Or you could fix the real problem and stop the lunacy of requiring four year degrees for positions that can be taught while on the job.

If it were found to be fraud then you would be going after the officers of the company directly.

Your argument is ludicrous. No one is arguing that he can't do what he is doing. The discussion is whether or not he _should_. You can't argue that's it's a good idea, or that his decisions have produced any results, so

So, in other words, "because Trump thinks it's ok, it's ok." You could have saved a lot of typing. Everything you said is utterly preposterous. Physycists have failed to come up with a GUT for quite some time now. Should

I'd be surprised if the age groups were very close, but you're right about the filter.

You're arguing against a position I never took. This discussion is about Reddit comments versus hacker news comments. I never even took a side on the whole ISP debate. I'm not sure where you're going with this.

Yes, thanks

>Why do you think removing the monopoly of private companies such as Comcast is not “substance”? I don't, and I never said that; I said that reddit comments tend to lack substance, and I think the examples show that. Only one of the

Being older doesn't make you right, but it does tend to impart some wisdom. Most importantly, an appreciation of nuance. I can't take part in reddit threads because the overwhelming majority sees every issue as black and white, ri

Sure, and living in a mansion is a far better experience than living in public housing. We're talking about service as a "right", right?

I don't know; my ISP has raised my bill by 50% over the last three years. My only other option is EarthLink, and they charge... wait for it... the exact same price. I live just outside Austin. I could use some competition in this space

When one of your 'advisors' is charged with making peace in the middle east (among other ridiculous responsibilities), is he really an advisor? Was Ivanka acting in an advisory role when she hosted meetings at the UN? C'mon.

They program it to be winnable. There are various constraints which ensure the game can be beaten. None of them (that people actually play) are 100% random.

No it's not. We're not talking about squeezing every last ounce of performance out of the CPU and hand tuning every query. Just stop bloating your pages with 10,000 dependencies and awful JS frameworks and pretending everything ne

>and web developers are not against lean websites Of course no one is _against_ good performance, but web devs obviously don't care enough to do anything about it. There's no practical difference between the two.

Ok, but then the rule is not to use toString() for behavior unless it "makes sense" to do so, which is not a rule at all.
