You see this in malware development a lot as well, the search for smaller and more efficient executables that use a minimum of code to function.

I concur and would like to add that this view of data collection has become common only because of the slew of breaches. Hackers leaking massive customer databases has forced companies to review their collection policies because they don&#x

The author's premise is that Luddites are a misunderstood group with a misunderstood agenda but then goes on to immediately say: "The historic Luddites were skilled craft workers laboring in England in the early 19th century, and

Criminals have many tools that can circumvent these systems though and many are very hard to defeat while still providing a smooth customer experience. There are entire web browsers developed by Russian groups that exist solely to clone the

It would seem, based on the numbers, that you are the exception here. Just look at how being precluded from Google’s services and apps can be a death sentence for some companies: One of the biggest reasons Windows Phone failed was that Goog

I think your example of Maxwell makes my point. Let's assume Christianity for a moment, since Maxwell was a Christian. In order to accept the consensus of evolutionary theory while still maintaining one's faith, one must either ch

...and flat earth theory also has a lot in common with religion. I'm sorry, but it is impossible to be a truly intelligent person that also believes in any religion without serious cherry picking or psychological compartmentalization.

Once again, though, I think your counter to my analogy of Spotify just reiterates the echo chamber effect of the discussions here that like to debate the philosophies without seeing the bigger picture. Yeah, artists may get paid less now, b

There's a problem with a lot of HN discussion where people who are very tech savvy tend to have a lot of ideas for how things "should" be. But it's an echo chamber and the average user probably won't care about the

Saves money in the long run. Having gone through the process of ordering package prints I can say for sure that single run prints of packaging at scale is much cheaper than 100 variants. When you're operating at the level of McDonalds

School's online systems tend to be woefully behind the times. Usually online portals and e-textbooks are little more than patronizing nods to the students that have come to accept tech in their lives as a necessity rather than any mean

This is somewhat true, but the pseudoscience I was referring to in that case is that a lot of these apps and companies are marketing to a new wave of hipster types that think all natural foods and a hip new app can cure their depression whe

I've often found that making broad statements about what will or won't happen in a hypothetical future often leads one to embarrassment. Example: "mankind will never set foot on the moon...how absurd!"

These are common mistakes of cyber criminals. Usually people get caught because they miss a point of data leaking. A commom one is people using a VPN and then accidentally opening their browser that's still logged into Google...All of

Also worth noting that any view on Snapchat is indicative of active engagement because of the ephemeral nature of it (even the stories to an extent are a view it once experience). All my peers (younger age brackets) always use Snapchat when

Yeah, that and an alternative email is required. Too much personally identifying information is needed for a so-called privacy oriented service. I understand an additional email is needed right now since it's basically a pre-order, but

I used to feel the same way until I was recruited into the coffee business ;) Our coffee is most definitely not American but it's also not Vietnamize for the reason mentioned in the main post: trafficking. We have personal relationship

We do have concepts in play, but we're in the middle of pivoting the brand and I personally was just wondering what HN might be interested in seeing! :) A simplified coffee guide is a good idea and we will definitely keep that in mind.

I mean, that's a good answer regardless. Right now, we are in the midst of a pivot on what we actually do, but what we have been doing is subscription based coffee that is fair trade and probably one of the best roasts you've ever

Yes, but objectivism suffers from decay on its own fringes as well. An objectivist can both be personally against gay marriage, for example, while publicly decrying any law against it because that would "infringe upon freedom." In

I'd be honestly interested to know why you believe they are considered the same in the field of ethical philosophy. Throughout my education toward a degree in philosophy I was consistently taught they were very different. One cannot co

But if not knowledge then upon what is it based? Instinct? If so, then society would crumble into loose animalistic structures. Law? Then, to appeal to Hitler once more, would you still shelter a Jew against the ethics of the law? External
