   Unfortunately it's the world we live in now. Unless iOS is so compromised (wouldn't be surprised) that MoviePass can read data from other apps, an app that runs temporarily for me to check into a movie and I can turn location serv

   Those drug addict musicians that track your every move online, sell your data, make billions from advertising, influence elections. Totally "not at all different".

   I have a 3D printer and never use it simply because I have more money than time. It can take hours to print anything useful. One problem and you have to start all over.

   Dang, you are speaking my language! When I was a kid we had an Apple ][e and spent many, many hours on Zork, Karateka, castle wolfenstein (pre-fps), conan the barbarian, summer games, winter games, some snoopy game. Now I will say I am pret

   I've found the same. Bought robot turtles, lasted a few hours. Scratch is cool but too hard for my kids to envision a "finished product" beyond, "make the thing walk 3 steps and fart" (I have 2 boys). We also tried

   There is an episode of I shouldn’t be alive (Season 6, Episode 3: Dive of Terror, streaming free on Prime Video) about this guy. Crazy story and he openly states he should have known better. Great episode and great show in general.

   Funny how that works... “The International Air Transport Association (IATA) announced that it expects the global airline industry to make a net profit in 2017 of $29.8 billion” and yet somehow airports are losing money on how people get to&

   Are you asking or stating the obvious. Answer is yes to both.

    Isn’t this how we ended up with people like Donald Trump? Risky behavior pawned off on everyone else?

    I do not know how reliable this is but it looks legit. If it is true, Amazon spending almost $10 million on lobbying and is the 15th highest spender when it comes to spending. Top issue? Taxes. How is Bezos so f’ing rich? Amazon doesn’t pay

    Interesting talk from Bernie Sanders about wealth inequality and the state of the economy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ao7iC9b5Mk0&feature=youtu.be I know it's "political" but so is an individual havi

    You should change the title back or remove the link entirely. This isn't the right way to handle what you consider "bait-ey"

    I agree and I'm disappointed HN would change the title. They claim it is a PR piece for Kairos but it certainly doesn't read that way to me.

    The title of the article is, "Silicon Valley has turned into the place it hates the most", not whatever this watered down title is. I saw this post earlier with the original title and I'm curious why it was changed? Is this t

    How old are they? My boys are 5 and 9 and they aren't really interested in "programming" but they love the red stone things you can do in Minecraft. Red stone is basically electricity so they have learned to solve real proble

    I've been thinking about this as well and not only for Uber. Airbnb and other similar companies could create platforms to allow people to do this on their own. The sad reality, though, is you don't make billions by enabling people

    Biggest lesson I learned from building a SaaS side project that actually had revenue is this... You cannot develop your way out of a marketing problem. There will ALWAYS be technical problems to solve but it's all irrelevant if no one

    Why does Apple even bother with being "serious" about privacy when they allow this shit in their app store? I guess when you keep billions of dollars off shore and the money keeps arriving by the truckful you just run out of fucks

    I agree. I have been using PIA for years and though it is not always blazing fast, it does the job and is very easy to use on both OSX and iOS. I found it really strange that PIA was the only one that hit all 9 of the highly desirable but w
