Because it sounded like you were talking about 3) which I find supper annoying. I tried to caveat my comments in case you weren't talking about 3).

by gwright 7y ago
So what? Why are you trying to assess the relative harm of a fabrication with anything at all? 3) is just nonsense that distracts from real discussion and yet there are people here defending it. I just don't understand.
723.
by gwright 7y ago
Sure but 3) is just bullshit that just confuses everything for no valid reason. It is distracting dangerous noise that increases the anxiety of the public for no good reason.

I prefer the engineering details to be in the commit message and not an external issue tracking system. That system might not be accessible 3 or 5 or 10 years later.

I see what you are saying now. Wasn't clear from your earlier comment. I hope that the mortality rate turns out to be lower than it appears at the moment (i.e. an undercount of infected people).

Regarding your button question: You do need some sort of seam at the point of use so that the feature flag logic can be hidden behind a lookup function. For example in Rails you might include your button code via a partial template. You cou

Continuous deployment triggered by a merge into develop is basically a degenerate case of gitflow where there is an automated release associated with every merge into develop. So if you are doing full gitflow or if you are doing this degene

There was an article here a while back about a bike company having lots of trouble with damage during shipping. They changed their packaging so that it appeared that there was a TV in the box and not a bike and the damage claims dropped. F

I don't deny that this happens but at least around here I think Hanlon's Razor is more apt: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. In particular the problem areas around me are entirely controll

This is an area where I think it is easy to not think it is a problem if you happen to live/vote in a place with reasonably operated polling operations. I've been voting for over 30 years and have never waited more than 30 minutes

Really? I'm sorry but HN is just not the place to educate someone on all the negative consequences of nationalization of industries and the negative effects of command economies. It isn't like this is an obscure concept or point o

Doesn't change the analysis re: supply and demand. Just changes to a discussion of the middlemen as a supplier.

The problem of low-quality or defective merchandise exists at any price point. Adding price controls doesn't prevent that problem and in fact would encourage black markets where defective merchandise is less likely to be detected by co

Bernie has advocated during his political career for nationalization of health care, energy sector, banks, utilities, drug companies and "major industries". There doesn't seem to be any limiting principle for Sanders re: the

Not the situation we are talking about but even in that situation a government control on the price of the concert tickets could easily create a shortage. An entertainer would just choose to have concerts in a different jurisdiction that d

by gwright 7y ago
Perfect way to guarantee shortages. Let the price float and there is an incentive for businesses to figure out how to increase the supply quickly, thus causing the price to drop. The economic theory on this is rock-solid and yet it seems im

I think you are misinterpreting the scope of what Sanders is proposing.

Sure it could be even worse, but is that supposed to be a rationale for accepting his approach? Just don't understand what point you are trying to make.

I don't really care what you call it, but Bernie's plans amount to nationalizing as much economic activity as possible, utilizing a command economy approach to provide goods and services, shifting responsibilities from states to t

Doesn't matter to me. It seems clear to me that his policies are socialist regardless of what he calls himself.

Of course the President can fire the people who disagree with him. In fact he should do that if the people are preventing the implementation of the President's lawful policies. The Constitution is pretty darn clear on this point: Artic

by gwright 7y ago
That seems like a weirdly specific comment. The majority of the electorate rejects the idea of a socialist as president. That sentiment isn't specific to "folks like Bloomberg".

Of course freedoms don't guarantee an outcome. That isn't what freedom is about. In your example it assumes some higher authority that intervenes to ensure that you get what is your right. What about the person you are replacing
