But the successful bad actors are more noticeable because they are near the top of the search while those you have to unpunish are hard to find. Even if they can easily find them I think the real reason they want to stay away from it is tha

I've seen some of the discussion related to SteamOS and the Raspberry Pi. Looks like SteamOS has no ARM support, so that is likely to be a hurdle. Something similar is Limelight which streams your computer to a PI including keyboard an

I think there are several arguments for it. The converse a desire not to read is obviously a negative as it is one of the fastest ways we can assimilate information. Before the internet and videos reading was one of the most efficient way

I don't particularly disagree with your moral relativism. But I will point out that there are obviously axioms we can base our beliefs on (be they "harming people is bad" or "gods are good so do what they say") and

It's actually the opposite, historically rediquette was to upvote quality and not downvote just because you disagree. Where as HN policy is to downvote things you disagree with. The difference is just that reddit grew faster and had a

You ignored my first point. You can trust the self signed certificate to be used by the same entity(A or C) after the first connection, admittedly you may have been MITM (by C) for that first time(and renewal times) and because of that you

I can also agree that your reasoning is correct that a spherical rooster you modeled will roll off the roof. Doesn't mean you're right to argue that roosters can't stand on roofs. Would my reply have been more useful if it di

Companies may be formally structured in such a way that they effectively act in an amoral fashion and merely seek to fulfill the wishes of their shareholders. But they are also made of some less formal structures. Groups of people that beli
