Understood - that's also the name of the actual article, although on reflection this article is a bit weirder then your average click bait. Normally a rise and fall, etc, is only a title looking for eyeballs - what's most odd abou

This article is quite a poor example of the issue you are referring to - it's quite a detailed look at the technical history of RSS - but I love your regex spam queries. Ask HN: $question_where_the_answer_is_my_own_business is my perso

Sounds interesting - Do you have a link for that, or if you've got time could you explain?

Not exactly true - every service will have to implement a copyright checking mechanism, which is a huge technical outlay likely to require linking in with a bigger company - which will further cement existing businesses. Also, just about co

Well, they managed to murder someone - I'm not sure the fact that it was or wasn't closely observed makes such a difference. There can be a fair argument as at what stage would it be necessary to remove the driver, but I think the

It is actually - I've done quite a bit over the past two or three years and 6502 assembly is really nice to program - it's hard to explain, but the fact it only has three registers combined with a relative ton of storage space for

As an aside, Let go is such an interesting term. It's such a well accepted piece of corporate doublespeak. It's like they want to go, and their employer is letting them. They're straining at the leash to be unemployed, and th

This is the third story today about a Google's handling/intentions towards web addresses and general webpages. The theme is Google wants/may want to push a new set of Google orientated web standards. This seems the least like

Thanks for responding, I respectfully disagree. The statement is saying if we look at the outputs of a system, it is producing exactly what it has been coded to do, intentionally or unintentionally. Facebook is producing exactly what it is

So this has been down voted twice, but with no further comments. I find the statement to be a rather interesting piece of logical jujitsu that I use often - if you believe it not to be applicable in this case (or possibly at all) would you

That's an excellent quote, thank you. Having said that, my take on that quote is that it seems a bit of a cop out - a way of absolving oneself of the consequences of ones actions. You may well regret both, but perhaps you will also enj

Is this powerful enough to run a NES? As in, can it run a 2mhz 6502 chip with some extra space for the sound chip, etc?

I think the parent comment answers this quite comprehensively - because (it would appear the parent comment believes) Indian companies will work more closely with the Indian government for more oppressive surveillance of its people. The big

Possibly off-topic but it's so sad that the greatest minds of our generation, the previous generation, and the next are all working out how to maximize digital profiling to more accurately sell us things. Second only to this is the cre

I agree with you in that I don't like it - I was just providing some more information on the issue, from presumably the same source you made your comment from. In terms of a Debian firefox etc, I would worry about two things: 1. You&#x

Right, I get your previous comment now. I would agree with it if it where: "Democracy generally means I am being governed according to some, but not all of my wishes." The fact that you are/are not being governed according to

That would only be true if the whole of society was driving and we took an average. The socially agreed upon limit is the legal limit.
