Counterfeiting, IMO and apparently the opinion of the Government (we rarely agree, for the record), is basically on par with treason.

You're comparing violent crime (robbing a bank) with non-violent crime (illegal immigration).

> All I did was rob a bank I totally understand how somebody might look at that situation and say "gee, he did only rob a bank because the guy who died was his accomplice", but at the same time... he robbed a bank! Had he not r

Really great list. #61 can not be overemphasized and includes blogging. I got one of my blog posts in a phd thesis last year (tried so hard to hire that kid!).

I think the point is to apply social pressure. I agree that it can be obnoxious, but I would argue that is part of the social contract one makes with public repositories. It can also be managed on the recipient's side as well (email se

I wonder how much rhino/elephant tusk powder sold is actually from the said animal. Seems like a really tough thing to authenticate and an excellent return for the counterfeiter.

I think we should replace "10X" with "1X" and all the existing "1X" should be re-labeled "1/10X". Nothing motivates the drones like negative reinforcement. Also, I'm hiring. ;)

I've always attributed "known knowns" and "unknown knowns" etc to Nassim Taleb, not Rumsfeld.

I think your theory might be a tad overly optimistic with regards to the character of these officers. I think the amount of infrastructure they set up to execute the crime indicates complete understanding of the law. That is very different

An interesting theory and I'm sure the attackers are savvy enough to collect data, but github is a pretty good target in its own rights.

With as much ddos mitigation as github has to deal with, those developers/admins have even brighter futures ahead of them.

It is all pretty disgusting, be it bottom-feeders or beef in the lot. Our protein sources are generally grown and nourished in close vicinity to massive amounts of faeces. At least lobster is free range. I think the idea of producing cricke

In the one case of a successful exit, I was able to pull off enough of a salary bump that it more than compensated for what I could have gotten with equity. There may end up being one that proves me wrong, but overall, I think equity has ge

I always go for salary first, equity second. So far, after half a dozen start-ups, I haven't regretted that strategy.

Nothing raises the ire of HN devotees like the most mild criticism of Lisp aesthetics... Such a sensitive lot.

Perhaps because they need to? Or do you find Racket as clear as other languages? Even other Lispy ones? Without trying to be insulting, I find Racket aesthetically unappealing.

Racket's website ( http://racket-lang.org/ ) has an "explain" button by the code snippet. Is the existence of such a button perhaps a statement about the quality of the syntax?

excellent point and a reason why, despite my libertarian leanings, i am happy to see regulation here.

Makes me miss prop trading, where a tax return basically settled it. Now, job hunting ruins a weekend.

I was thinking this too. I did the cryptopals while in grad school and was able to complete it. I got 15 minutes in microcorruption before I got sucked into a wormhole of meetings.

I'd rather fight the SMI robot terminators that exist Altman's vision of the future than deal with the level of oppressive government regulation required to control such innovation. Asinine.
