Words like "buy" "own" and "purchase" have a specific connotation. These licenses upend that. I am part of the Rock Band video game community. That scene is covered in the use of "buy" "own"

Yes, I remember this coming up when the current admin took away or limited many people's SNAP benefits, and a few smaller retailers wanted to throw them a bone, only to understand that it was illegal to do so unless they charged the lo

The fact that the guy apologized was a failure on his part. He should have escalated the matter to corporate, since what they did was incredibly creepy and disgusting. The manager shouldn't have apologized either - the apology should h

All of their albums are bangers Lemme guess, the only thing you've heard from them is Bound for the Floor (aka "the copacetic song") Way to attack the messenger I'm 46 by the way. So I'm not young

That's a whole lot of presumption about who I am, so much so that it deserves flagging. I'm not anywhere close to Redmond and you don't know me at all. Pro tip: I live in Tennessee. Don't worry, you get to insult that st

The answer is "America is capitalist-first more so than any other country". This is exactly why capitalism isn't the end-all be-all of isms. I don't mind small capitalism. Open a business, give good service, you deserve

I've been flagging nearly every HN post that has anything to do with AI, even negative. The quicker we get "AI" out of our zeitgeist, the better. AI isn't even a solid term, the term "artificial intelligence" i

The problem with this affects professional coders more than hobby coders. Many jobs are pressuring their developers to use AI tools under threat of termination. Yeah, if you're coding on your free time, you can easily avoid AI. But man

AI coding is not coding. It's delegating coding to a computer that is prone to hallucinations

I believe framing this as people being against "data centers" is missing the target. Data centers have existed for decades, ever since business started using computers. What people really have an issue with is data centers designe

Clearly, in Sony's case here it is buy(2), and they've reached into people's accounts and removed content (even using the term "purchased" in the notice email). This should be criminal. If the sale copy says "b

Can we just go ahead and shut the US down right now? We had a good run, but we've clearly been moving in the wrong direction for almost as long as I've been alive.

That truly does speak to the problems we have in modern society. The biggest issue we face today is the incessant nature of economists to try to reshape reality to match economic theory, and not the other way around
