I don't say I've never had a Facebook account because I want to be a hipster or show any sort of virtue. I say it because I want to share that life functions just fine without it. I think 'scares' is probably too strong

That's what communication is. Even a movie is sharing information. Even a music video is sharing information. The whole Internet is sharing information. Some of it has less value than the rest, but it is still information.

If it is like many other such projects, just to say they did it. Why climb Everest? Why play a video game on the hardest setting? Why learn to write Hello World in the top 100 programming languages? I can't say I wrote a spreadsheet in

HN is so very educational. Where it impresses me most, where it matters to me most, is when it is a subject I not only know nothing about, but is also a subject I'd have never been interested in seeking out. In this case, I had no idea

Does editing your config to add this help? "files.eol": "\n", // blah blah some comment here I think it also has a notification in the lower right, LF and CRLF. Not the best, but maybe learnable with practice?

Basically, how to bet that it is going to plummet in value and make money on that process. I figure it's a bubble and there's going to be a popping, even if it is done by force of law. These ICOs are starting to make powerful peop

Thanks, I've been here for a while but didn't start commenting until fairly recently. I like to lurk before posting. It helps me to better understand the rules, especially the unwritten ones, before posting. I'm the same KGII

The Wikipedia article about him has nothing to say on the topic. The only references I see are on tabloid sites and appear to come from a tell-all book and a single interview with another ex-playmate. I didn't dig very deep and their l

Ah, alright. It read, to me, as if you were using it as a pejorative. Reading other comments may have biased me, sorry if I read more into it than you wrote. It can cause cancer, though I believe the odds are low for males. He also may not

The shooter didn't need to be charged. He went on a killing spree, usually targeting interracial people and/or just black people. He was a serial killer and was caught, convicted, and jailed. (I forget if he got the death penalty.

Smoking a pipe isn't healthy but a few daily puffs aren't going to shorten your life all that much. Pipes go out, get relit, and generally aren't dragged on like a cigarette. Many people don't even inhale the smoke. As f

I think their primary motive is income. The way they do that is by being good for their users, or appearing to be good for their users. If morality were their primary goal, I strongly suspect they'd be financially structured in a more

At one point, they announced, shocking everyone who heard, that they'd no longer be posting nude women on their website. They even made their magazine nude-free. I think they reverted their magazine. Here is a citation: http:/&#x

My understanding is that he didn't do a lot of drugs and seldom drank to excess. I also am going to guess he got a lot of exercise.

And the great science fiction... Playboy had some great science fiction over the years. You young people may not realize this, but there was a time when we had to work for our porn. Porn wasn't always available. Hardcore porn was as ra

Oh, I don't really speak German and was making that up. But, it wouldn't surprise me if they had such a word. German likes to cram words together and make really long, very precise, words. I don't speak it well enough to gues

Opera gets around this by doing the rendering on their server and pushing the results to the app. This also enables them to do things like a VPN without additional software and image/page compression being done server-side, instead of

I think that, here at least, it is well understood that there is a financial motive, and not altruism, that motivates Apple to take this stance. Given the current state of affairs, I'll take it. We can argue the philosophy aspect with

I still see those sentiments frequently, even posted non-ironically and even on HN. It baffles me. People don't seem to value their rights, especially if they aren't using them. What many don't seem to realize is that the los

I'm not sure this is really on-topic, but I'll share it anyhow. I think it adds to your statement with personal experience. Warning: This may be a bit long and hastily written. For reasons, I once doubted my sanity. To make a long

Agglutinative... 1. How long have you been waiting to use that in a sentence? 2. German has a word for everything. "My car misfires when I am in second gear and accelerating in a corner that is greater than 45° and on an incline."

I do sometimes browse in Lynx. I'm not even ashamed to admit it. I also will sometimes use a browser that is graphical but doesn't support much, such as Midori. If you're a Windows user, there is an obscure browser called Off

I am not trying to be snarky when I say this, so I'll make it longer than a single word. No. That is, Y! Answers was/is a great idea with terrible results. I'm not sure if it should have been moderated better, or if it should

Yahoo! gets code improvements back and, by being the originals and having the most experts familiar with the entire code base - and it is huge, they retain their competitive advantage. They also do this while fostering good will and, potent

In 2007, I sold my business. In 2008, I put a bunch into the stock market and property. It was comparatively dirt cheap. I made a killing. I'd do the same with cryptocurrency, but I can't figure out how. My 2008 investments were p
