That doesn't make it any less outrageous!

I mean, still, the practical effect of the govt legislation was to annoy countless people and waste who-knows-how-much-effort implementing the stupid banners. To argue that this leglislation would've had a good effect in some hypotheti

Zig takes this approach. I haven't done more than kick the tires curiously, but it seems very cool.

Interesting theory; from what I've seen though, it's fueled more by Adderral scrips.

I agree; I don't think we should be raising animals inhumanely.

Here's a question: Is it immoral for lions to eat zebras? Here's another question: Imagine the entire Earth is actually a factory farm for aliens. Every time someone dies, their body is actually secretly used for alien food. Would

My take on this is there's constantly a "friend or foe" subtext to everything that's going on. So you have to be careful about how you state things, or you're going to subtextually saying "I am a foe" or &

One of the Go un-features that is so very nice -- the very first Go code I ever wrote, 7 years ago, still compiles perfectly. It's great to not have stuff just rot behind your back. (True for the language, not quite true for the ecosys

Stuff like this gives me pause: https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/California-s-la... I don't think it's at all inconceivable that voting fraud could be a real issue. Though I agree and then so

It's always hard to know how much to generalize from the general HN sentiment, but... For a company that seems to be trying really hard to win back the hearts of devs, it seems like a no-brainer to have a policy in situations such as t

post but we're still living in an era largely defined by enlightenment ideas/ideals (tho, increasingly less so, as evidenced by eg this thread)

How about: strange post-Enlightenment to see explicitly sexist morality become trendy? I take your point that viewed from a broader historical context it's not strange at all.

It's really interesting to do this with normal television shows, too! And both ways -- w/ only visuals or only audio. It really draws your attention to elements you would not have otherwise noticed.

Perhaps we should republish Eliot under a female pseudonym? But yes, fair points, and I'm not disputing there was sexism! But to describe the situation as "male only" is overstating things significantly.

Adding some women into the mix seems like a whole different kettle of fish than saying that for moral reasons people are going to have to stop enjoying white male authors! (Also, I don't think the prevailing western attitude was that i
