Doctors act like authorities and get upset with patients when they disagree with treatment.

In theory, that shouldn't happen. HN should detect duplicates and just add an upvote to the existing submission when it is resubmitted.

I was simply counter-pointing the contention that patents don't affect prices. You are making a completely separate argument.

It also said that it can develop naturally, without human intervention. I think it's a stretch to say that the software we create can develop naturally.

Absurd, the price of albuterol has gone up 10 fold since patents have been reinforced on it. When companies have patents on life saving drugs they can charge whatever they want. If they have no patent, they are forced to keep the price low

Not true. Patents increase the incentive for people to do hard research and development. Whether or not that increased incentive is necessary is debatable.

Wouldn't putting humans in orbit solve the latency issue without having to solve the relaunch issue?

The capital class is a much much smaller class. In any valid form of democracy, they should never win the way they are winning now.

I don't think workers, in the united States at least, are fighting for their share. Marketing efforts by the capital side have rendered the working side a helpless lamb ready for the slaughter. But if a symbiotic relationship becomes p

You're argument assumes that all cost is labor which is obviously not true. The higher a percentage of cost that is labor, the better of most people are, since they work. To put it simply, if everyone in the service sector made double,

I assume so, since they consider their employees contractors.

Considering they are pushing cost for vehicles, vehicle maintenance, insurance, payroll taxes, fuel, unemployment insurance and uniform onto their workers, I'd say they are paying peanuts. You'd have to shortsighted to see why thi

Does anyone know how the cheat worked? Did the computer detect it was under test mode and run worth less emissions?

Works as advertised. I just added it to my project and now all tests are 100% passing! Even 1 == 0!

The biggest thing they offer that other carriers are missing is that your kids won't run up a $1000 bill on their service, nor will they be shut off when they hit the cap.

The government fought hard to keep internet unlimited to encourage growth. Do you think that is no longer a noble goal?

I don't think it would hurt their business to say something like : 120GB of data (compared to verizon's 12GB) If they are being honest and really are only worried about people using 2TB, then this should solve the problem

It's probably hand wavy to mobilize wsj readers to pass immigration reform. There is a concerted effort to reduce tech pay.

For most generalists who doesn't live in the frontend, learning every framework and applying the right one is not tenable. None of the js client-side MVCs I've seen are easy to just pick up. Even 6 months after I haven't used

A highly visible, more competitive market would go a long way to making things more equitable. Someone should make settlement.ly.

Good point, but when they are charging 2300% APR, they could afford to give you a call or email you after the first overdraft. They are acting predatory and we shouldn't make excuses for them. All financial relationships in a capitalis

Yes, the question is would you rather put people in office who support those barriers and benefit the few, or people who represent the majority? I'm not surprised that corporations behave this way, and it's very important that it&

Even if people are paid the same, when times are tough the true value of each employee will be obvious. It's also not unusually to "signal" value through other types of compensation.

In the 80s, the local FD used to attach some weird pipe/sprinkler system to the fire hydrants around my hood to prevent people from doing it themselves. It was pretty awesome, we'd be playing in that all day.

If you are that paranoid, then you shouldn't open any pdf that you find on the internet. The NSA has the ability to proxy any file you download and inject anything they want.
