Why do people insist on writing like this? The first sentence is the only piece of information in this article. The rest is filler, mindless regurgitation for people who just woke up from a 30-year coma combined with random predictions base

My refutation of what he's saying is that it's self-evidently stupid political crap, and partisanship is brain damage. I don't come here for partisan politics. The article's form is a bunch of non-sequitur bullet points weaved together to t

I beg to differ, but you're welcome to your opinion. Passion can easily resemble axe-grinding. I'm just angry about the following two independent variables: 1. This article was incoherent and stupid, and it's on Hacker News. 2. A racist web

Vox Day, cited admiringly throughout the article, is a racist. He writes for World Net Daily about white supremacism. Taki, the owner of the website, is a well-known antisemite. But I'm just another "liberal" calling "everything" racist, ri

You have no idea whether I'm a liberal or not, and you're making a fool of yourself with this comment. Thanks for revealing yourself as an axe-grinding political operative with an agenda though, it's good to know you weren't some innocent r

This article is fucking stupid. Why do I keep seeing articles from racist websites on Hacker News?

Sometimes I think nerds aren't very intelligent at all. They're just technology fetishists with a large vocabulary who've learned to ape some of intelligent people's behavior. +1 for banning DF links, because the comments here when a link t

No inside knowledge or anything like that, just from the description in the article above of what they're doing internally. Converting each page of the layout into two JPEGs, one for portrait and one for landscape. That's really wasteful an

Average person: Tumblr. The easiest way to blog isn't just their tagline, it's also true. Average person who is a little geekier: Posterous. The easiest way to blog that also has some more anorak-friendly features. Unhealthy interest in pol

That's the thing, though-if there had ever been such a rumor, then OK. I don't remember ever seeing or hearing a rumor about Verizon working on an Android tablet. This is just...news. Why is it being reported as if it was a rumor that came

It's a good project. I find the way Snopes disables highlighting and copying very irritating though. I always have to disable javascript when I'm there.

How is it "already obvious"? We're told that men are visually oriented, but women are not. There are websites like "hot chicks with douchebags", and there are drop-dead gorgeous women married to complete toads who happen to be wealthy or po
