Is this post for real? I think this account should be banned, it has to be a troll.

I wonder how far we can go with placing all value on the short term at the expense of long term. I hesitate to make any predictions because I would have expected to see serious fallout before now. Looks like people like Mr. DuPuis want

Seriously? A post about some google fan boys making a poll to other google boys and getting a high percentage? Flagged. Keep your circle jerks off HN.

So you're against us still having people like Einstein around? I think it's been demonstrated pretty clearly that breeding habits follow the environment. If we were all suddenly thrust into a world where we all live to be a thousand years

Germany is also doing well with a devalued currency. If Germany still had the Mark, instead of the Euro (which is being devalued by all these crisies) it would be higher than the Swiss Franc right now.

I can't imagine the US style being cheaper in the short term either. You have to look at everything the "war on drugs" implies and all those costs. Stopping people from using things that naturally grow in the ground is insanely expensive.

If someone is a known thief, it stands to reason that they will probably steal again if the price is right. Zuckerberg showed, unambiguously, that he will not only steal ideas but sabotage the people he's stealing from. I would say very l

It's fine to have no minimum wage, but then you need strong unions to ensure people get paid what they're actually worth. If you leave it up to the employees they will be at too much of a disadvantage. Companies do everything they can to p

I wouldn't either but that's because I can imagine Facebook just straight-up stealing it. Nothing about security.

So it that's true, then it's no better than what Facebook has with lists, etc.

If you want games with no/low graphics and lots of depth there are still MUDs out there. Or for war, empire is still out there.

Or they can see how many of their users are using FF and decide if it's worth hiring a "upgrade response" team just for chasing Mozilla's tail. Personally, if I wasn't getting enough money from FF users I would just drop the whole platform

There are systems you can use to defeat this. One password decrypts the drive, another wipes it.

I think they handled it as well as could be expected. There are a lot of places in this world where if an associate screwed you over as badly as Zuckerberg screwed them over that associate would have been killed. And over a lot less money

No, what happened was they hired a tech person to implement their idea and that person betrayed them. It's not that he just copied their idea for his own project. Personally I'm not a believer in non-compete clauses. What he actually d

Conditions are brilliant. This is something I wish more languages would copy from CL. Having said that, this [1] is a better treatment of conditions, what they can do and why you'd want them. @Total_Meltdown Conditions are just that: con

I'm not so sure of that. If Mac is still the hacker (pg hacker, not New York Times hacker) platform of choice then there may be at least as many Mac users if not more.

Men tend to compartmentalize more. I may get red-in-the-face mad at a colleague about some stupid design decision that he's trying to ram down my throat and get pretty emotional in our discussions but that doesn't leak over into lunch conv
