Wow people really have no imagination when it comes to naming languages.

This is called “being exploited for an unfair share of profits”.

Who cares what’s actually in the valley, it’s just a shorthand for the tech industry.

I mean it doesn’t really matter what their reputation is when they are the type of company that abandons products with little concern for users.

You’re being refuctive in your framing of his early work. At the same time as Wittgenstein was playing with words, the logical positivists were attempting to go the opposite route, and find language that both expressed meaningful things abo

Even if true this would not be a win for open software.

MongoDB is not horizontally scalable either is it?

You can’t proclaim it a right decision or wrong decision without comparing exits as well. It’s the delta that’s meaningful, not the value at that single point in time.

What would failure look like?

Well, they also get harrassed and get their credit destroyed. Hardly “effectively” socialized.

by drb91 8y ago
Nit, that’s not socialization, that’s just right to service. You still shoulder the bill entirely yourself. The only thing that approaches socialized healthcare is free flu shots.

Just because corporate language doesn’t include any way of expressing representing consumer and user interests outside of what can be represented in a transaction doesn’t mean it isn’t worth expressing.

Well, people have always used bad software; popularity has never been a good metric of quality. Nothing about Chrome protects users from Google. This is a fundamental role of the browser.

It seems far more likely to succeed IMO. Also isn’t this essentially the business models of Airmail and Spark and (I’m sure) many others? They do this all up to the point of actually injecting ads. Which is absurd; these days access to your

Actually enumerating what data might be used for strikes me as incredibly unlikely. They could also come up with a more substantial business model.

Coffee is quite stimulating by itself, an addiction can probably ruin your life via sleep and anxiety. I’m fine with it being classified as a stimulant, although I wish they pulled caffeine out into its own category.

Heh, that also points to the severely limited use of the autopilot itself. Certainly it’s salient data to publish.

by drb91 8y ago
Well, it’s not autopilot, it’s guided steering and gas, which on a freeway is the “easy” autopilot path: trivially (for a human) identifiable routes, signage, infrequent low visibility occluded by tight turns, etc. I’d guess a) if you remov

I must say I take a huge amount of joy watching a corporation try to bend over backwards to monopolize a fungus that has been enjoyed by humans for millenia. Is it a surprise that a capitalist industry is more motivated by profits than by t

Unrelated, but why can’t HN fix blockquote rendering on iOS?

Hell, even in the US people can’t identify US values.

Hopefully the problems will be relevant to the job.

Still, it seems just as easy to have too much of a dose or acetaminophen in a single day as it is to use ibuprofen continually for an extended period of time.

I was under the impression irradiation changes flavor.

by drb91 8y ago
What gives you the impression undercooked meat (which seems to beg the question, let alone dairy) affects longevity negatively? A basic survey of research seems to offer highly ambiguous findings.
