Silly comparison. There is no reason for people to wear a full-face helmet in public. There may be a reason for people to know self defense though, which is why some martial arts clubs go out on the town with the specific goal of beating

Why do people always assume this? Makes it easier to sleep at night? Do the various government agencies pay that well? I would say the smartest people are either doing research for universities or making big money in the banking industry

Honest question: Is WSJ really an HN worthy source anymore? EDIT: How far are you WSJ fanboys going to downvote me on this? The company is owned by Rupert Murdock. The same one who owns Fox news. And this article was rubbish. Am I real

There is talk of breaking up the EU because the bad countries are bankrupting the ones that are doing really well. When everyone notices that the producers and the problem countries are the usual suspects, of course the conclusion is tha

Personally I think the whole way we deal with shows no longer makes sense. The reason it is "illegal" to download or watch these shows online is because the stations in your country paid for the right to show it to you. It happens in my c

What's with the downvotes? This is a fact. If you set up a mail provider as Exchange they have the ability to wipe your phone. Google is a big place so while it's unlikely this would happen, it's not impossible. I prefer for it to be im

If pirating were at least as convenient as buying, then sure. But pirating is a lot of trouble. You have to have custom software that serves no other purpose than this. You may have to hunt for codecs. You have to make sure you're getti

The worst bit is that I'm an American expat who would have to wait years to see these shows.... dubbed in German! I don't like dubbed anything, I certainly don't want to watch shows from the US dubbed into another language.

Thanks for the link. That is literally insane. Modern day slavery. There is no logical basis for stopping someone from being in sales up to a year after leaving their previous company . Research is about the only area such a thing woul

I don't understand this bizarre desire to resort to acrobatics to paint anyone who ever opens their mouth as a hypocrite. Do you really want everyone to just shut up about everything? Then doesn't that make you a hypocrite?

Holding back progress in one area as leverage to try and force it in another is nearly always a bad way to go. STD's and unwanted children are both problems. If we can fix one of those we should absolutely do it.

My point about intimidation was that if it is used then it still isn't proven that the case would hold water. You can't sign yourself into literal slavery, you can only be tricked into giving up rights that you have.
