I don't think you know what schizophrenia is, and you could try to make your same argument without that wrong analogy.

Absolutely, my first link was 2400 so I know exactly what you mean :) And I know there are still issues. Given today's speed, issues are more about security and accessibility. My point was just that the artists using flash to create go

I hope this is satire. If not, the fact that anyone could think this a) works, and b) is a good way to get more intimate time with their SO, makes me very sad. This line from Heavens to Betsy never felt more relevant to me, if this story i

Exactly, my concern is unintended consequences. I fully agree with you that something has to be done about these diseases. Going back to your first post I replied to: my mother had Polio and lived with minor side effects all her life, while

Erradicating a mosquito species could have negative ecological consequences unknown now, and on top of that, there’s the risk of another vector taking the mosquito’s place.

Every country has "limitations", including the US. See, for example, the obscenity trials in the US.

I think I get your point, and the misunderstanding may be that by "nature as living beings" I went beyond just humans. For the vast majority of living things, avoiding reproduction seems, to me, unnatural, hence it would go agains

It's not owners of websites, it's owners of big companies. I don't think owners of big companies meeting leaders of nations to discuss the rights of citizens of the world is a new thing (sadly, I would add).

I don't see how the comment is off-topic. While the HN title is "Google's bash style guide", the actual guide has the title "Shell Style Guide". To some, that reads as if a "Programming Style Guide" s

That is true, but I wanted to share another angle that may or may not affect PostgreSQL while it continues to affect MySQL even as it has crash-safe (though not transactional) DDL now: these schema changes are online for the master, but are

I think a good book that helps you understand a complex piece of software is a good read for programmers, regardless of the use you make of that software. Additionally, I don't see how the need to know about the internals of MySQL mean
