It's a terrible critique. It contains way to little substance and too much ad hominem to be taken seriously. How could something like this reach the front page?

I'm not obliged to. I just wanted to help the previous commentator out because I knew this would earn them negative karma for what could be a constructive discussion.

This comment adds nothing unless you name specific criticism or ideas for improvement.

As someone who plays a lot of games, I can't wait for the day when Steam gets replaced by something better. And given Steam's current state, "something better" is a really low bar to go by. At this point I would prefer i

I configured it so I can only sudo with my password. So even if someone gets hold of my private key, they'd have to guess my password for sudo access. Also, as someone pointed out you can restrict sudo commands, which is the sensible t

And eyeballs for advertisers come from content. For example Laci Green has up to several million views on her videos. So she pulls a lot of people onto the platform. But because sex ed is "uncomfortable" she shouldn't be able

So if I'm uncomfortable to watch a video in public about, let's say "How to avoid getting STDs", which is clearly something me and probably a lot of people would benefit from, it should be demonetized?

Downvoting for trying to help is kind of petty though

This. Being able to get debt should, in general, be a good indicator that your company might actually be valuable.

I did not intend to rebut! I saw you downvoted for no given reason (as so often these days on HN) and wanted to support your comment. People interested in this topic will have no problem finding the relevant studies, which is why I didn&#x2

I don't understand why you're down voted for this, it's a valid question. I afaiked it, because I read about it in one or two papers, but I honestly didn't bother to source check for an offhand comment on HN.

Basically confirming the parent comment. If it's not politically convenient it must be bogus.

The frontend code is really lean, so adding an authentication prompt should be fairly easy.

I for one usually do a CTRL+F "jblow" on game related articles, since I know you're commenting on HN and have the actual competence to do so.

>I haven't seen anything but praise for CDPR for the Witcher games Yeah that was my point! No one complained because everyone saw it as fair.

>I find it dumb, frankly. I find your comment rather ignorant. It's entirely possible that the scenarios can in some way coexist. I'd also argue that for 2001 and The Matrix, technological danger is not the main subject.

That’s not the point at all. For example, look how many gamers complained about the Witcher DLC. What bothers players is day-1-DLC and non-cosmetic loot boxes in paid games.

I doubt this would happen as long as EA got hold of various sports licenses.

This is certainly true. One channel broadcasts the evening news (Abendschau) from 20 or so years ago and you can clearly see how diligently they try to adhere to journalistic objectivity (in choice of adjectives for example) whereas today i

That was not my point, and proponents of DRM are not necessarily only the people selling products.

by emsy 9y ago
This so much. Especially since we know from iTunes that people DO pay for content if the can. The burden of proof lies with the proponents of DRM!

I was talking about source code, not binaries. And I didn't mean platform specific APIs either (though that is a problem as well). I was talking about differences between processor architectures. But while we're at it, try using w

by emsy 9y ago
I'm surprised the author forgot to consider platform architectures, because he has the most important aspects of a package manager down. Unfortunately, it is still terribly easy to write non-portable code with C++. I think this is the
