You are mostly right here, but abuse can absolutely cause a legitimate mental illness, just like it can break bones.

Did you read the recent discussion of article Black and Whitey? It's fun to be a contrarian, but try to find a sensible angle.

That was a cryptic statement in the Lessig post. We're Aarons assets frozen? Was he banned from Internet as a condition of bail?

You overestimate prosecutors by a large margin here.

If only Reddit had taken on more ads, Aaron might have had enough wealth to fight.

by Evbn 14y ago
Different people have different standards. Maybe Aarons choice helped protect people who follow in his footsteps.

Aaron didn't have access, that is why he broke into the MIT physical network.

Someone please download it and repost.

There are a few posts. Reddit had a broader topic and voting base that HN though.

Seems he would have preferred you give to givewell or an endorsed organization. Cut flowers just die in a week.

They don't get nothing; they get millions of dollars.

Yeah, what do academics have to say about law, government, management, or medicine, anyway? These important fields should be left to professionals, why are schools sticking their noses in?

In loco parentis wasn't the problem. There was a time when the MIT president would bail students out of jail in loco parentis. The rest of your comment is on target though.

Wow. Brandishing submachine gins sound more reckless than brandishing an LED. That fellow Pare seems awfully proud of himself for not accidentally murdering an innocent citizen. When exactly did MIT first jump the shark? It wasn't like this

Go dedicate a year to read about a small fraction of MIT's contributions to the world, and then post an update to your comment. We aren't talking about ITT or U of Phoenix here.

What is MIT's tort? Investigating a repeat hacker violating physical building and network security?

by Evbn 14y ago
Watch out for "I used to be happy, those days are gone." you need to remember the repeatable happiness, that you can look forward to. Actually, you just need to trick yourself into committing to seeing or doing something in the future, repe

Why? He finished all his work quickly and got to leave early. Some people don't squander their hours.

Totally nonfunctional on Android. Just some giant black boxes and a tiny paragraph of text with hidden page flip buttons.

Yes indeed, you can do some very interesting things like interpret the raw bits of a float as a character and crash or corrupt your program.

Yes, and refusing to update (human) language in response to changes in the computing landscape is exactly the reason C fanatics don't see the weaknesses of C.

Go doesn't rely on return codes. Go has multiple return, and has error objects. Microsoft and Google eschew exceptions, because they cause huge invisible problems in large systems.

by Evbn 14y ago
Go has optional stack allocation, which means the GC doesn't need to handle short lived objects.

by Evbn 14y ago
Naturally, Go users do not believe that complete web frameworks or RDBMS support is a desirable feature.

"The ban caused Armstrong and others to leave Ericsson.[6] The implementation was open sourced at the end of the year (1998).[3] The ban at Ericsson was eventually lifted, and Armstrong was re-hired by Ericsson in 2004.[6]" It is really har

And yet regular journalism is as bad but we don't see constant hand wringing about how the NYT or WSJ is full of BS.

I hope you apply the same standard to news and magazine articles, and realize the sorry state that journalism is in now. Wikipedia will never e better than the sum of its sources, many of which are awful.
