There are many of us that DO care! Unfortunately, even though we are many, we are still a small minority among the general population, or probably even among software developers. Convenience and fashion tend to trump security and principle

I'm not sure what patents might have been in place at the time Excel came around. In any case, large wealthy companies such as Microsoft are better equipped to deal with the looming threat posed by software patents (or even actual pat

I find Dan Bricklin's apparent attitude toward software patents infuriating: http://danbricklin.com/patenting.htm http://danbricklin.com/patentsandsoftware.htm On the one hand he acknowledges the benef

What does a "Hacker News launch" refer to? Is that simply announcing it in a Hacker News submission?

I wonder how much of this goal will be considered "accomplished" just by not being direct employers for the people who actually do the grunt work at delivery centers under inhumane expectations. Amazon should fix those conditions

Yeah, those days were bad. Yet that doesn't mean the present isn't bad, either. I don't care for paying hundreds of dollars each year for domains for passion projects, especially when I suspect the actual cost of running a

What is the real yearly cost of managing each .com domain? To put it differently, what would be the profit margin for a .com registry maintainer that operated at reasonable efficiency (which might or might not reflect Verisign's own ef

We're just not used to seeing them on large jets these days. We're so used to encased engines that hide away its mechanism. To me, propellers feel like old, slow, noisy technology, even if they are efficient at keeping small plan

What a bummer when every product turns into subscription service and a thing you don't actually own. Products-as-subscriptions are nice options at times, but even then I'd prefer for them to always be options, along with the opti

That could be an exception. However, when I hear "HOA", the kind of neighborhood that comes to mind is "insipid, yet pretentious suburb".

Hmm... I'd agree that policies should help everyone, including people who are "dumb"... but not that poor people are categorically dumb.

I'd assume, though, that a tech writer's base salary would be higher than a receptionist's and maybe an executive assistant's. I'm trying to gauge if she was being vastly underpaid for her skill set and if Bay Area

One of the parts that most stood out to me was how the author was apparently paid much less that her comparably-skilled coworkers, since she didn't negotiate for higher pay. How common is this in tech companies in and around San Franc

The only other implicit criticism toward her coworkers was ignoring and not greeting the cleaning staff. For the most part, her coworkers come across as privileged, rather than mean or otherwise morally deficient.

Is this sarcasm?

Maybe novels in a series need the literary equivalent of a recap, so one can remember who the characters were and what happened, instead of having to reread the whole series to understand the newest book in the series when it comes out.

I think the main reason to end the death penalty is different: capital punishment is a very dangerous power for any nation to have over its inhabitants. Many of us are accustomed to living in stable democracies. Yet how easily and quickly

I looks like Ethos Capital would have had to make at least $100 per domain to recover the cost of buying the .org registry, never mind making a profit. I wonder how much of a profit they were aiming for and how quickly they planned on maki
