I think that this is sort of missing part of the comparison in that it's meant to compare similar highly demanding jobs which require a specialized education. While labor is incredibly important and I respect the hard work, it's a

I believe you're misreading that part of the post, as it goes on to list these as actions which wrong women in general. The writer is equating his viewing of porn to wronging women. It's kind of a strange mea culpa, to be honest,

Elsewhere in the letter it is described that Patreon employees had explicitly given approval for pornographic Patreon accounts, only to have this retracted later. I do feel that their point gets lost in the letter, but ultimately their comp

Quite frankly, I think you give even the average HN user too much credit. We are awash in information and there just is no good method for properly vetting it in a timely manner unless you are prepared to devote a not-insignificant amount o

I had at one time thought something similar, but in review, I think the weakest point is that such things become background noise to the initial reaction and join "References" as the newest proof of validity that never get properl

Well, as noted though, this behavior is determined by the OS; it's not a hard-coded part of the system or anything. Windows has a control-panel option for what Windows should do when the power button is pressed, and for whatever reason

Indeed, I'm not even sure that aside from intentionally editing the PowerManagement.plist that you can do this. On my Macbook Air, you have to hold in the power button for a short period to produce the Sleep/Restert/Shutdown

But then again, the opposite of this is they're also not equipped to make a judgement for non-critical operations or and they also are provided with absolutely no information as to the costs they're about to undertake for procedur

I strongly disagree especially in the case of social networks. First movers in such spaces have incredible advantages and one of them is a lock-in effect. Countless follow-up social sites have come and gone that either had feature parity or

This one also didn't seem very clean in its operation - it was shooting stuff everywhere outside of the bowl and I didn't see any cleaning mechanism come through to mop up the mess. I'd be a bit more impressed on this if the

I think the difference here is that the system itself is vestigal; JSTOR et. al. made sense when there was not a convenient collection or distribution method for journals, but at this point, such groups are not providing any actual benefit

This varies greatly, as most libraries receive some federal funding and as a result are required to allow reasonable public access from my recollection when working at a private university. In general many libraries include public access co

I do agree, and this discussion is a bit meta of the actual article, but I find that if mistakenly mislinking a source is all it takes to be labeled clickbait, then the definition of clickbait is too broad to be of any use. The article does

They mislinked because the page they sourced for the statement has a weird set up where the url changes based on your scroll position on the page (scroll down and you will get this link [1]). It's an honest mistake, not clickbait. [1]
