And where does that money go then, corporations are not taking holidays in Caribbean or buying million dollar condos. Who are you actually redistributing the wealth from.

Then advocate to remove every form of regressive taxation that takes away poorest already limited wealth. Abolish sales tax, and punitive fines at the very least, theses are highly regressive in nature. Though i suspect quite a few don&#x27

Missing a lot of information to actually answer that question. Was the engineer wilfully negligent of checks and balances put in place. Was he wilfully negligent because of undue pressure to deliver more in the same time and without any sys

This is a failure of leadership to ensure that a quality product is being delivered by the system they're responsible for. I'd usually be pretty forgiving especially when there is a high degree of novelty. Maybe this particular va

Was it a moral stance or the fact he had a great detestation of human suffering, as alluded to in the article. Someone of that brilliance would quite easily be able to draw the link between their work and future suffering. It's possibl

And now it's unfortunately nearly impossible for us to have a discussion about what various religions did or did not say about topics like homosexuality.

The hypocrisy is that they preach and ideal and fail to achieve it? One thinks this is because ideals are meant to strived towards but not necessarily achieved. A solution of throwing out ideals because they are hard to achieve and a little

The problem is who's deciding what is and isn't acceptable, RMS has been saying clearly derogatory statements about religion, the basis of most of our shared morality, for decades without a single peep from the virtue crowd. He s

What I find interesting is that the proprietary software tmost egregious in its impact to the customers product is device drivers, arguably where the free software began. Yet the devices drivers in and of themselves are not exactly worth an

Sure, because the call center was your workplace. Now your home is your work place and the rules have changed. And to be clear I don't particularly believe this methodology is ultimately good for anyone; either the consumer, call cente

I'd propose remove every form of regressive taxation and allow the individual to keep more of the wealth they've earned. Remove: Sales Tax, Punitive Fines, Import Taxes, Stamp Duties Keep: Income tax (even raise it if you want) Ad

I don't understand how we continually believe the governments know how to spend money better, HN is littered with examples of government projects that have been woefully inefficient with the money they've taken.

I thought that it's just that gnu compiler was a large complex legacy code base that was hard to abstract and LLVM had the benefit of a clean slate and goal. How was the GNU aspect a blocker for a compiler tool chain?
