This is interesting, you're saying something along the lines of: If a rule can be written, there'll always be someone to write it, people to approve it, and libertarians will lose. I'd like that to Agile, which says you can&#

I did pass my test 14 years ago with 20,00 hours of driving lessons and 2400F (a ridiculous 350€). In the recent years, I know no-one who passed the test with less than 28 hours, and that's an unilateral decision on the school side.

Not sure you understand that he might also be guilty of trahison against US. Should he be intercepted by US authorities, he would be given a hard time. That's what he's fleeing against. Had it been the two alleged assaults alone,

Sounds like a hiring failure. Of course the probability of that happening across 40,000 employees is high, but I feel like the #1 goal of a hiring process is to avoid training someone for 9 months when he knows he's going to quit. Besi

The article uses few facts, or the facts aren't detailed. I admit doing that when I comment sometimes, but it's wrong and I expect a journalist to prove his point (and help us convince other people in turn). Example: > The dete

That's the best part of the article to me. He had the ethics to ask for a discharge. He said he was close to detonating the heads. Rationally speaking, if he had detonated a head and thus blown the warehouse (and possibly a part of New

The article also says: - The app makes it in 30s, - "Do Not Reproduce" keys can be reproduced, - Lock nerds can reproduce keys from a 60-feet picture. All 3 imply a change of the possibilities and thus, newsworthy.

That's why I'm doubtful about checking "what the constitution intended". Maybe the US just needs a 28th Amendment stating new rights about the numeric world. We've gone through 2 technological revolutions since 1980

Hotel chains are in a far worse situation: I stayed twice in a Novotel and I had to pay for a crap wifi, I'll never cross their path again.

There are a few moments in recent history where I wish I had been. This is one of them, along with the day after the 2007 iPhone keynote in the Android 1 offices, and when the French company realized they'd built their trains 1cm too w

Not saying we don't have any. I'm saying this form is different in the US. We have racaille, but it's a very different form. You're reading my comments with the worst mind, max out with pseudo-quotes like "we don&#x

You should find whether they'll change the flight route. I clearly remember my plane from DXB to NCE dodging Syria by less than 10km. And Syria was not officially "at war".

Hi roel_v, you're assuming I'm arrogant because I'm French, and it is not nice because I was careful to also praise the upsides of both US and France. You're also too keen on assuming I like social inequalities. In fact,

That's correct, I didn't mean to talk about who should be fired first. I meant to say that the company doesn't really get to choose who should leave or stay. There are rules so we don't harm the economic tissue when firi

Those games are pretty obvious, and they've often been used. We judge by the spirit of the law more often than in US. I know a company of 5-8000 people who's firing 9 managers per month [1] so they don't fall into the "g

I wonder how they'll apply this plan in France, where the spirit of the law is, you may massively fire people only if it's part of "plan social", and the only argument is ofthen it's-this-or-we-go-bankrupt. Especial

What's wrong with the American society? You can be the country of awesomeness and freedom and entrepreneurship, and at times you also have those weird customs like bullying at school. So beware game creators: This topic will be "u

Just as important as the Real Name Policy: The Multiple Profile Policy. This is still, to me, the best way to protect my privacy. The one I use for my company is different from the one I use for me. One will outlive the other. Yet, you can

I was under the assumption that image/theme services did that already, especially with website themes? That may be an idea for a copyright troll, btw. Disseminate not-for-commercial-use for free, then charge dozen of thousands of dolla

Good mind! Come to France ;) We're not keen on AC, our office temperatures are rather 23-27 in summer, we sometimes stink and we know it's good for ecology. BTW, I'm not sure Nest has any potential in France. Maybe in interna

Is that illegal? Will those parents be charged with altering safety devices in case of accident? I'm perfectly aware how good it is, but insurances and labs don't really care about that.

In all his clumsiness, chatmasta is exposing the core topic of the website: What happens when one publishes his private data to the world? Criticism, mockery, or respect if you're lucky to have the right crowd. I'm looking forward

Most IRL people still don't know that wikipedia is editable (starting with my flatmate, art school age 24). Granted: They just miss the point entirely and assume it's another Linux-or-Facebook free thing. So IP is very efficient f

The HN population is usually very skeptical about matters related to censorship. What I see here is a 50-50 proportion of agreement. It's startingly enormous for a law about the internet.

You're litterally right. Your comment however does not take into account the I however do not find that categorizing people under condescending labels - Blah, no way to get heard.
