   We have laws, and we have mechanisms to change the laws. There are consequences to breaking laws. We live in a society.

   We are supposed to feel sympathetic for growers who operated illegally and now struggle to comply with new laws? All while other operators are complying with the same laws?

   And this is just a relatively uncontroverisial prediction. Wait until they move to SAT scores.

   Can anyone provide a bit more detail on database cracking? What does "massage the query plans to crack" mean?

   Yes, I did read the article -- and I reject its premise. Thank you for the summary and for your pompous and ignorant response to it. In college, I had a sight-impaired friend with a guide dog. That dog worked around street noise, farm anim

   I reject the notion of "fake service dog." I understand the point about the official, narrow definition of a service dog. Also, I don't dispute that many people claim service dogs that don't meet that definition. But th

    I wonder if there's an inflection point as income increases. A divorced colleague once joked: why is divorce so expensive -- because it's worth it. Similarly, I'm sure there are many poor people longing for divorce, but they

    Strange how if someone were to post here saying "I've made tons of money and accumulated enormous power, but some days I'm just not happy" they would be hit with a wave of empathetic responses. But then those same empath

    The issue isn't as simple as what quality of service do bots provide. Instead, it's what service, at what price. Bots are cheap, and customers have long bemoaned the quality of human alternatives.

    "2 men invented fake female Global Head of Sales say acting through her was 'night and day.'" I'm not arguing that's right. Is the reversal upsetting? Also, HN bot idea: automatically reverse the gender in hea

    Also, I think the majority of journalism harbors a liberal bias. So any basic analysis of aggregate news links would likely lean liberal.

    This article has little relevance to the kinda professionals on HN. They're talking about relatively low paying labor. I think the problem boils down to vanity. Companies want to post glamorous jobs, and figure they'll hire if the

    I like this quote because it's so accurate. LOC does provide some information. You'd be unhappy if either LOC or weight were close to zero. That said, one of my favorite metrics is number of deleted LOC.

    Yes, and this quickly leads to ageism and sexism. Want to hire a 28 year old woman who just got engaged and is excited about starting a family? Want to hire a 43 year old person who prefers spending evenings with his/her kids over gri

    If you work 9 to 5, you're paid accordingly. Of course, some people foolishly work even more hours for little additional pay. If you want to earn more, you either need to work more, or you need to prove that your work generates revenue

    I think the headline is much stronger than the story. Cunningham's professional life is still deeply intertwined with football: > At first, Cunningham told ESPN executives that he was leaving to spend more time with his sons, ages

    What portion of the blame does the poor woman bear? What is the just punishment? What about people who visit emergency rooms, for non-medical emergencies?

    Huh. I think it's how HN parses the trailing suffix of '.' on the URL.

    Pretty much -- every reader and advertiser is essentially a voter. Many more layers of indirection for NASA officials. Still, I think NASA has heaps of politics.

    Sorry, I meant a convincing piece of scientific reporting. I did read your echo chamber babble. What are your sources? Care to cite one?

    Shameful to see the officials congratulate themselves on busting the lady after she copped a free ambulance ride 100 times. Seems like she was merely hacking a horribly inefficient system.
