I find it amazing the attitude that the 2002 Gujarat riots should be brushed under the rug. There is still plenty of controversy about what happened there and Modi's and the states role in those riots, regardless of what any Supreme C

He was attacking your statement: "Someone was going to a lot of make money when the British government's scheme unraveled." I think the point is clear, morality has nothing to do with whether something is definitely going to

This is such a terrible thing to do. You are intentionally taking advantage of your backers by giving them the false sense of security that you will be more likely to complete your project if you get far more then your goal, when in realit

It's a liberating feeling to not be a slave to your IDE. It will allow you to explore more things outside some IDE walled garden, live a little ;-)

Funny, I've seen the argument made that developers target iOS first or sometimes exclusively because you make way more money there then on Android and it's much easier to maintain vs the huge ecosystem that is Andriod. By doing t

And companies that want to take advantage of freely available volunteer run hardware/physical projects wouldn't want to commit their own resources to improve them for their needs? I don't see anything about this model that w

Really? So the Linux Kernel, Postgres, etc. haven't been able to scale? The only barrier that has been preventing an Open Source, volunteer run, approach from working in the physical world vs the software world has been the higher

I also feel like they could have deduced they needed to put the tape on the fuse without the logs. If they keep repeatedly fixing what seems like a problem that shouldn't be happening it would seem to make sense to take that precautio

yup, good point. A good provider should have multiple protocol options but most people would use the default, something definitely to look into changing from the norm. i.e. if a lot of sites use OpenSSL for https then for your VPN you sho

Not understanding some of the responses, I think they did a pretty nice job trying to address the issues in their posts. Of course you could have been MITM but the vast majority of that danger comes from using public wifi and if you'r

So reducing the attack surface isn't a laudable goal in your book, because hey the VM itself can have vulnerabilities so there isn't a point? I think the point is that programmers will always make these mistakes and we should lim

I don't see how you're really addressing the point, the idea is that Occulus Rift's star risen would be way way more valuable then WhatsApp ever could hope to be. We all know they still have a journey in front of them, but t

Regardless of what the ultimate consequences would have been of any price fixing scheme, do you or don't you believe it is wrong ? You can argue all day about the hypotheticals of how much or how little this all actually affected wag

That's a pretty cynical point of view. I've met plenty of charismatic people who wouldn't think they're spending "a lifetime practicing on people that one thinks are largely beneath one's self". And then

Well maybe something is wrong with societal norms then? Because honestly if the focus was just watch attractive women hula hoop I would think it's creepy too but I wouldn't just say it's alright because of societal norms. But

I think it's inappropriate to stare at anyone for long, whether male or female. It's normally not considered polite and a bit weird, so I don't get what the issue is? I get it, you find someone attractive and you want to gaw

You're avoiding what I think is the better point, the first one. Her mistreatment by an estranged wife of a founder, in and of itself, doesn't constitute sexism. If her problems with this were ignored because she was a female, t
