I'm sure Microsoft had some part in making this happen.

I love changelogs. I choose programs based on how good their changelogs are. If someone made a program that just generated random changelogs, I'd probably use it.

Why bother comparing the internet to supersonic jets? SST might have been a popular idea, but it never reached the same level of global acceptance and support as the internet.

Hopefully as more developing nations gain access to the internet, our global education standards improve with the new technological access those countries get. The ability to provide education to parts of the world that might not have acces

More of the same about open offices. Pretty sure there's an article every week about how open offices aren't as productive as they seem and that people hate them. What bugs me about this article is that the author felt the need to

I meant that as a response to crusso. When protesters throw things, it's a blight on all protesters, but when cops throw things, it's just an incident.

See New York where protesters could easily avoid cops by creating multiple incidents at once and dispersing in different directions when police resistance arrives. It takes too long for an organized group to move through the city and that c

Police do a bad thing: "You can't blame all cops for a few bad apples in isolated incidents." Protesters do a bad thing: "Pathetic rioters! Ungrateful youths! Sit down and do as you're told!"

There is no system in place where this can end with justice. Every time that justice has been called for in cases of police brutality against minorities over the past year, only once was that justice served. Murderers are at large, and rich

The $60 pays for the game, but to develop a mod for it, you're using tools they've made for the game. They didn't have to provide those tools, they're an additional service that Bethesda offers. Bethesda also added works

Were the police justified when they beat an unarmed suspect and denied him medical attention that would have saved his life? Were they justified when they refused to bring those responsible to justice?

It's unfortunate that it had to come to this, but I believe the rioters were justified in their actions. If the police departments in the United States do not account for their actions, or worse, defend officers that have committed act

I really think Valve as a whole has been making bad decisions for a while. They've been neglecting to push for the more innovative ideas that they're known for and have instead been adding a lot of shady features to Steam and thei

ITT: internet journalist pedantic about labels. While western media may not yet be open to embracing eSports on television, South Korea and several other nations have been televising video games for years and building followings behind them

I guess I should rephrase it as "a plane that flies 50% of the time and does everything we can already do but worse"

Actually yeah, probably.

We could clear out all student debt in the United States and have a handful of change left over... ...or we could build a plane that doesn't fly.

So is Washington ever going to acknowledge that they've done something wrong or are we going to keep playing the fascism game?

Of course, rather than attempt to fix poor ad practices and encourage users to disable adblockers on their sites, these publishers have decided to go after the software itself. Who can blame users for using an adblocker when it regularly bl

Nobody ever said due process shouldn't exist except the author. Again, another scarecrow the author sets up to dehumanize the opposition. The point raised was about listening to rape victims, taking their accusations seriously, and not

Someone should make a Godwin's Law for Millennials, because I've never seen any sort of good come out of an argument involving the word "Millenials".

by Lancey 11y ago
This is like some kind of Clickhole parody that mashes up MRA literature with How Millennials are Destroying the World(TM). There's no discussion to be had because the author's engaged in a dialog in his head about what the counte

Say a student spends all day on HN - that's a day dedicated to reading and discussing topics related to hacker culture. I've learned so much about programming and computer science in general from HN, and even physics, biology, pol

I think that having a student operated discipline system might be getting dangerously close to the same groupthink cultures we see online, even on HN. Ultimately I think that while a unified community like this has its place, it tends to pu

You act like WikiLeaks is some sort of guardian angel of the internet. I don't think they have to justify their actions as right or good because that's not the purpose of the site to begin with. WikiLeaks publishes information. It

by Lancey 11y ago
I agree with this wholeheartedly. WikiLeaks doesn't exist just to publish scandals. It's not a tabloid or a nightly news show. It's a website that publishes leaked documents, and this is the biggest leak of the decade. Making

This may not be the legal definition of corruption, but there's also no legal right being violated here.
