I agree. But it's also folly to have the too-common attitude of "wow, that thing I did in the past was wrong -- and I know it because today I'm 100% correct."

What are the odds that after several additional years you will look back at today and think, "wow, how was I so overly sensitive to humor?"

Can anyone briefly summarize the points of debate and optimization? I'm not familiar with the competing kit, and the primary goals.

It is not illegal for the POTUS to use the armed forces. I agree with would be outrageous if they were used against US corporations -- but who is proposing that??? I guess I don't understand your point.

I don't understand your comment about "greed." Some people decide to buy, at say $54 in 2004. Others avoided the temptation for "greed," and decided not to buy. Then the stock went up 18x. Who's greedy now?

It's not a "story" -- it's an investor relations press release.

I don't think OP's post is as hyperbolic as you characterize it. The press release makes it clear that there was a major production bottleneck. Will it get fixed? Very likely. But as of today, they've got a serious problem.

No offense, but that's non-specific rambling.

Google explicitly gave little power to common shareholders when at IPO, and the shares continue to willfully trade. I don't understand your point about greed. Do you propose some alternative structure to corporate ownership? Seems bes

Fair enough. What's the hypothetical sequence of actions that Zuck might take to start a war?

by dogruck 9y ago
If I understand your point, you are conceptualizing the discussion as "how could Trump attack FB" vs "how could Zuck attack the US"? Is that fair? Or do I not understand your point?
404.
by dogruck 9y ago
I'd like a better understanding of your viewpoint. What actions do you think Zuck could take which would demonstrate that he has more power than Trump? And, why do you raise the hypothetical of Trump shutting down Facebook? In particu

The US just had a national election where every mainstream media outlet fervently supported the losing candidate. In any case, even if the MSM effectively shapes public opinion, the POTUS commands the armed forces.

Shockingly, my post was quickly downvoted a few times. Seems that several HN users also think that Zuck has more power than Trump.

I disagree that the head of an online advertising company has more power than the POTUS.

This map might give the misleading impression that the American Indians were a static mix of tribes, sitting in a time capsule, waiting for the Great White Man to stir things up. In reality, the situation was fluid. The standard forces of

I hear you, but I don't think it's relevant to OP. I'm not arguing that some regulations aren't beneficial. Only pointing out that it's tough to argue, using history, "we had a crash because not enough regulat

I think of depression as the big D Depression, which is a medical illness. A doctor is required. But sure, if you're just bummed out by life's latest trial, then reach into the standard bag of little tricks.

Such a contract would attract charlatains -- guys like Bernie Madoff. And then, when they found a data breech, they'd pull every trick to keep it hidden. No doubt that CEOs should be held responsible. And here the board would say, ye
