Yes it does. It just doesn't to you , because you're not an average person. The average person, who has no idea what cryptography is, only hears of "crypto" in sound bites on MSNBC or Fox News, and hears advertisements

The norms are, and should be, what the United States considers norms. It was built in America, by Americans, and now, is about to be owned by an American. And like America, everyone is (should be) welcome... provided you honor our Western t

Who was the most famous artist of Mesopotamia? No one really cares. We simply haven't had enough time pass. Eventually, some day, people will forget who Julius Caesar was. It may take 50,000 years. It may take 500,000. They'll for

You have a hilarious misunderstanding of the financial system, and using Financial Times is proof of it. Like a lot of HN posters, you seem to have zero understanding of the rules behind the rules and think what's actually found codifi

That's been utterly ruined by the blue check mark verification system. Promoting a specific type of user over another is antithetical to the original ideals of Internet forums - whereby the most interesting / useful / "g

I sometimes hear this, but I disagree. If you're 40 years old, you need to be able to consume any kind of media and then place yourself into the mindset of a younger person and judge it from that mindset - because you used to be that

Yeah. (long pause) Right. (long pause) Less ruthless and less sociopathic, my ass. If that were true, Justine Sacco would not have lost her job for making a dumb joke on Twitter. All this touchy feely bullshit matters right up until the poi

Yeah, I forgot I was on HN. I keep forgetting how many people here have extreme difficulty detecting subtle sarcasm. Even a casual perusal of my comments would have uncovered that I have a, probably unhealthy , distrust of most things gove

AMD didn't have the technical prowess to do it, that's why. And even if they had, the Wintel duopoly was so entrenched that even if their offerings were "nearly as good as" Intel's, they still wouldn't have bee

When it comes to Intel, I am, and have been, so disgusted that they held back computing by about 6-10 years by consistently shipping overpriced, barely improved-upon quad-core processors that I: 1. Put nothing shitty past them. 2. Will neve

How would you recommend this problem be addressed and fixed? I don't know if I buy the whole, "A four year degree at Stanford and 12 years of mathematics from age 6-18 is the only way to produce a successful software engineer.&quo

> Majority of Americans (and most people I'd imagine) do not really care about their policies. They don't give two figs about it, and just go about their life just fine without being affected by it one bit. That's the prob

I don't know how you got that sentiment from that graphic, which doesn't have jack shit to do with political affiliation. I will put $100 down right now that if you did a statistically significant, unbiased, controlled, represen

I actually do agree with this. The idea that only a certain set of individuals at a company could ever fathom a problem X with product Y and anyone else who shares a potential solution should be ignored is pretty short-sighted and ignorant.

This may be one of the best posts I've read on the Internet in the past 20 years. It's easily in my top 25. Thank you for writing it.

"Twitter" doesn't do that, that's what Twitter is . It's become a platform for elites to virtue signal and everyone else will rally around that, be it virtue signaling from the left of the political spectrum, or th

This is a stupid answer. And I don't mean it's ignorant, I mean it's stupid. The answer to a problem cannot be, "Become a subject matter expert in that field." You don't understand the problem with your small i

Ugh. I always get a little depressed when anything about Aaron pops up on this site. It's a clear constant reminder just how much the world lost when he was driven to suicide. He was the programming equivalent of Nicola Tesla.

I don't think that's by accident. If someone works in legacy media, like network and cable television, printed newspaper or magazine, and they don't clearly see the shift away from print and broadcast media to Internet video,
