Most crimes are a crime "because some book says it should be" that book is typically a law book, but still.

Not exactly. Technically the first amendment says "Congress shall not.." and of course over the years this has come to mean government. But I think it is wrong for the white house to do anything that gifts the impropriety of restr

The smoking gun is "the Biden administration requested Twitter look at a handful of tweets." I don't think that is something the government, outside of maybe a court order through the judicial branch should be doing. Ever.

For someone who is hearing impaired masks are awful. I hope that wearing of masks is never normalized. Why are people going to work sick. That is the issue. Of course masks don't really do much for COVID.

by chrismcb 4y ago
Why do you think it is still important to continue to mask? What days is there to back that statement up?

DUNS is not a government thing. The US government does have a unique number, it is your tax ID number. Typically called an EIN, but it is not farmed out to a third party What you are referring to is a private company trying to create a glo

You can probably fire 4/5ths of any company and they would survive. But that doesn't mean only 20% of the people are working You'll lose parts of the businesses. You will fall to grow. Things would take longer to get done. T

Why? Why do you think then but releasing the git repo with history is a GPL violation? What terms of the GPL are they violating?

The cake of my house has gone up 5x in twenty years. Ignoring the last year, inflation didn't quite double in that time period. So, for at least me, my house per square foot wasn't stable

I would assume the per violation has nothing to do with his many people witnessed it.

It seems pretty clear to me, training an AI on copyrighted materials is not fair use. I'm not sure why you seem to think it is fair use

The problem is when you do or say something outside of your job. A lot of your examples were people doing or saying something on the job. The biggest problem I have with cancel culture is it almost amounts to a death sentence. If you can lo

by chrismcb 4y ago
Cancel culture absolutely did exist. Sometimes, but rarely, the actions are justified. Cancelling is basically someone losing their livelihood for something they might have said or did that had no relation to their job. When you aren'

No it isn't. And why does the hn title differ from the "article" title? So yes, you can call yourself a software engineer in Canada if you follow the rules. And not just because you are a programmer

So your article claims term limits are bad (didn't say they are a scam) because they increase the power of those who are in it for them long haul. And it will weaken Congress (not sure how you can make the weak Congress weaker) and giv

by chrismcb 4y ago
Are you saying they wouldn't exist because they wouldn't get reapproved? Because that is what you are implying. And term limits are definitely not a scam

If notepad++ doesn't work for you then you probably aren't really looking for a fast, light, text editor. But you really need to explain how it didn't work. It has syntax highlighting, it is easy to use. I can't imagine

"diversity of the candidate" doesnt make any sense. Or are you looking at the candidates ancestory and deciding what their diversity is? A single person isn't "diverse." I know some people are trying to change the m

"art is in the eye of the beholder" had nothing to do with copyright. That fact that it means something different to you is not relevant. Actually it is, and it implies that copyright is still necessary.

But... If there is a crash, I would argue that there is a good chance the phone will be separated from the bike.

by chrismcb 4y ago
It doesn't sound like you've ever seen a crash. If the phone is on the pocket it can easily get separated from the ride before the rider feels a strong impact. I'm not sure how you think the phone should figure out if it is d

My personal opinion is once they start censoring, then they are responsible for everything on their site. I think it is ok to let people moderate. But once the company starts to censor then it implies they are ok with what they didn't
