>If people don't bang on about it, nothing will ever change ... It's not going to change anyway. The car haters on HN are in the minority of Americans.

Yes, but it wasn't EA who did the purchase.

Squad isn't (or wasn't, at least) a game company. I can't remember their actual line of business. Viral marketing or some such. The guy who started KSP made his pitch and had a fair amount of freedom to do what he wanted,

Communism wouldn't work in Germany, either, unless by "work" you mean turn the country into Venezuela without the oil.

I think it's a combination of a CS degree being slanted more toward research than preparation for a career as a software developer, and not everybody is cut out for it, temperamentally. Particularly the latter. A lot of people break o

That was my reaction too. You don't know frustration as an undergrad until your correctly designed circuit is behaving oddly because one of your components is damaged in a nonobvious way. I found the CS classes to be relaxing by comp

The Church Committee really didn't have any effect beyond forcing the CIA to rely on electronic surveillance, putting them at a disadvantage vs the Soviets. That agency leaked sensitive information to embarrass Bush when he crossed the

Are you trying to say offering people money to remove bodies and trash is immoral? How odd. >Your argument is basically equivalent to 'trump isn't perfect, but he's a whole lot better than hitler'. While true, it&#x2

The death rate in life is 100%. If you really want to do something like Everest, the relatively small risk shouldn't dissuade you.

I keep reading that on HN, but after hanging around libertarians for a lifetime, I've never met a single one who said that. Usually Somalia comes up in the context of someone wanting a bigger government and dismissively telling libert

It's not like they're switching from building cars to building fighter jets. They're switching from cars to... cars. Ford has adapted to new technologies in the past, and they'll adapt this time, too. I don't kno

All you're really saying is Ford can't build an electric car the same way Tesla plans to build electric cars. But electric cars aren't very different from conventional cars - Ford's logistics system is more likely to be

He probably does. But there's influence and then there's dictatorial power.

I don't see why Ford can't use its existing system to build electric cars.

>The company he worked for didn't want to pay him worker's comp. when he contracted Valley Fever, which is a direct result of his job / working conditions. That part is debateable. People in parts of central California an

The reason those jobs pay so little is ranchers can find people willing to take them. You may be right that Americans wouldn't take that job, but that's not an argument for bringing in cheap labor from other countries. Quite the

Electric cars are not a completely unrelated field. The big logistics and sales operations they're using today will largely be unchanged. In fact, I would argue Tesla is unlikely to succeed because of companies like Ford.

This. Super-voting rights makes some sense for startups and for companies like Times Mirror, where you don't want people buying up shares so they can dictate the news. Less so for other companies. On the other hand, while it's b

One thing he said I absolutely agree with - when you're in a crunch situation, either in a startup or a new high-pressure project at BigCo, you don't pick a tool set with which you're not familiar. Even if it looks very nice

Sure, but the timing is suspicious. The editors at The Guardian aren't above giving a Tory proposal a little push if it's in their interest. Besides, Labour is proposing essentially the same thing.

So The Guardian puts this article up just as May's government is promising to tighten government restrictions on social media. That was convenient.

>Every single time that the United States has engaged in conflict with Asian countries, it has waged not war but programs of systematic and indiscriminate extermination. This is just ahistorical nonsense.
