I think our wires got crossed here. I'm arguing against the idea that we should change the name to civil unions and make it legal, as opposed to just legalizing equal "marriage".

But if all we're doing is just changing the name.. then who really cares? Marriage isn't historically a religious institution, it's a civil one.

After I had my home broken into the guy taking fingerprints explained to me that fingerprints don't really work like that. You're lucky to pull one single print out of an entire house, regardless of how careful a burglar was. So I

There are some very tricky legal issues for companies when employees start selling on the private market. I will admit that I'm not terribly well versed on them, but IIRC these private sales essentially forced Facebook into an IPO that

I think this isn't such a big issue. I use Car2Go all the time, never had any of those things in a car I drove.

I believe Apple Maps now crushes GM in terms of usage Out of genuine curiosity, any source for that? Do you mean crushes Google Maps on Apple phones? Or overall?

That's the whole point of the article tho isn't? Terms matter. Terms similar to those do exist btw. Investors who aren't going to be able to wrangle board control often attempt to control their money using absurd up-front str

It would seem ideal if we could come up with a system in which your activity in court would lead to additional liability when you lose. In other words: the more you sue the more you will find yourself culpable for fees. The little guy who f

They did exactly the same sort of thing with Jobs running things. You can find hundreds of examples. This sort of thing is business as usual at Apple.

In a business on-time and on budget are pretty damn important. I'd argue for most software disciplines (note: I didn't say all), probably more important than technical quality.

No.. it was meant to call your attention to the other discussion as opposed to rehashing the whole thing here. I know I don't always go back and check these threads if I don't get a reply.

On what planet is shutting down a service, with months and months of notice, evil? I get it, we all hate Google on HN (for reasons unclear to me) but this is ridiculous. If these projects are truly important than donate some time and move t

I think a large swath of the working population would disagree. Give up a 30% of my life to do something I would rather not do so that I don't starve? I guess I'll take that deal.

Why wouldn't it be? Hell I think a lot of the interesting startups out there don't employ programmers. "Hackers" have a lot of tools at their disposal beyond writing software.. so it seems rather pertinent to me.

We use paper trail. I suppose expense is relative, but it's absolutely worth it to us. They've really nailed log search, which is what is really important to us.
