Can't this be on a case by case basis? After all, the British stole from so many places in the world - what if they returned stolen items to countries (India for example) that are interested and capable of safeguarding artifacts and di

This depends on the subject of the book, but there are enough books written pre-1970 (or some other year one is comfortable with, before the era of “book spinners”, AI etc) to last multiple lifetimes. I used to spend hours and hours in book

Does that still even exist? I don't know. I suppose there is behavior that is illegal and behavior that is unethical. I guess there aren't that many politicians that are ethical, but there may be some (hopefully?) who don't

corrupt politicians who think a politician going to jail is a dangerous precedent There is a reason why administrations don't go after obvious, in-your-face crimes committed by previous administrations/politicians. They all hate

Or better options - just do the job you were hired for and go home or find that rare job (if possible) where engineering has a bigger role than politics. It is not pleasant to play a guessing game trying to please some manager, just because

what possible harm could come to the people incidentally captured? That is not the point. If someone doesn't want to be in someone else's photos or videos without consent, it is their choice. It is their face afterall. It doesn&

I agree with the author here. Go to a restaurant with friends or family for dinner - someone has to request the waiter to take a photo of all our faces stuffed with food, can't even have a meal without modeling for stupid photos. Go to

What is the reasoning behind the pricing model? 2.99 weekly but only 29.99 for lifetime?

What you say is true for most companies/software, but YouTube can play a nasty game for a very long time before it withers into irrelevance (if at all). They have enormous moat, one would need enormous resources to take on YouTube, I d

I suppose people get automatically annoyed because who the owner of Slack is. It is reasonable to assume bad practices if the company is too large to care, have multiple prior bad incidents etc - that is why people automatically assume guil

I'd suggested wordpress.com, instead of self hosting. Where I work, they went with self hosting for a simple blog (we aren't doing anything fancy, just simple news/articles blog). It has been a headache as no team has the int

okay, can't we have a middle ground then? On one side, nothing happens because of corruption, regulation, partisan interests etc. On the other end, there is authoritarian regime that can get things done at insane speed but at the cost

I was listening to an interview (having a hard time remembering the name now). The guest was asked how he decides what to read, he replied that one easy way for him to filter is he only considers books published before the 70s. At the time,

Between student loan and mortgage, I guess most people are destined to be in debt their entire life. And that is for healthier individuals and not including other loans like car loans etc. God (if there is one) help with medical debt. How d

$1 for the first user, $2 for second, $4 for third...By the 30th user, it would be painful even for mega corps. By 40th, it would be an absurd number. Might also be worth trying to force them to display a banner on every page of the site &q

I disagree with the shitty games part. They may or may not be a waste of time, depending on the person, but games like bracket.city (which I found on HN) and NYTimes Connections are genuinely fun and enjoyable to play. Agree with AI and c

It is not about not knowing some topic. I am myself an average programmer on my best day and I don't expect candidates to be genius level thinkers. It is the lying, the making stuff up on the spot - like what are they thinking? The bla

Yeah, big numbers and big crowds are useless, if there is no unity, no tendency to help fellow worker. As you point out "it won't happen to me" attitude is precisely why a handful of dudes who run big tech can get away with a
