Sometimes, more so in my early-mid 20s, I would dream about code/architecture issues I was having, and bizarrely, wake up with the solution. It was a trip when I realized what had happened, so I started napping when I got stuck and it

I just wanted to take a moment to thank Capitalism - an overwhelmingly positive system of resource optimization that's oft-maligned by the econ-shallow, which drives creativity and human advancement through entrepreneurship and the des

I'll describe democracy, and you tell me how comical it sounds: "A group of people, within a geographic region marked by invisible lines drawn by human aggression, all gather once every 2nd rotation of the Earth around the Sun to

I totally plan on using a child leash when I take my 2 year old to a massively crowded place like a zoo or amusement park. Is that really frowned upon?

While I detest Trump and authoritarians in general (which Hillary is really just a different flavor of), I don't think you're statement holds water here. California, where I live, is the ultimate nanny state - we've criminali

That's why you never initiate aggression, unless in fear of immediate harm - but if someone initiates it with you, be well prepared to drop them.

I think you're equating collectivism with community, and the two aren't inextricably linked. Collectivism is the philosophy that a central set of practices and behaviors be enforced across a group, placing the group's will (o

"Where did this collective insanity come from?" From the paternalistic insanity of authoritarian collectivism.

The shift toward more laws, police incidents, and over-regulation of ordinary parental duties isn't isolated, nor is it surprising. The US is a country that has been on the path of abandoning individual liberty in favor of paternalisti

Your entire comment is founded upon the assumption that the law is the arbiter of right and wrong, and that because it exists, it should be followed - it is not, and we shouldn't. Here's what Jefferson had to say about the law: &q

No, that's easily solved: you can set the product the button purchases (obviously), and the day after the API is made available a zillion little intercept-button-push-then-scrap-n-compare projects will pop-up on HN that find you the lo

It's not a lot different, in fact, they've just remade our X-Tag components into heavier, less DRY, less modular copies that range from 40-60% larger than their equivalent X-Tag originals, while at the same time managing to reduce

Not sure Brick is now "more modular" and "lighter", without X-Tag - in fact, it's quite the opposite. They've dramatically increased the weight of each component, and constantly repeat the same code over and ov
