Like everything in politics, I think this is a function of what team you cheer for. If your goal was to come up with an excuse to invade Iraq, that person was an excellent choice. If you’re on the other team, what a clusterfuck. Then you ad

I like to remind myself that very few people reach positions of great power after mediocre lives. Rather there’s a thread of talent that runs through government. Once they’re in, the predilections that led to power often rear their dark lon

The rise of Jim Cramer absolutely baffles me. His RoR is freakishly low - I have a savings account (with government backed deposit insurance) that performs roughly as well as his choices. The rational play is to ignore him. But for some rea

This is precisely how bullies act. It’s anti intellectual, disrespectful and flat out cancerous. This culture where people can be as rude as they want, make demands and then flippantly say shit like ‘whoa. triggered’ is a complete disgrace.

Why are you this obsessed with defending this particular dude??

Now answer? Are you fucking kidding me? You think I’m going to follow your orders? Are you really stupid or do you just have poor social skills?

Words like “Bush” or “current administration” do not occur in the article. Rather, it was just a link. You don’t have any particular reason to be this charitable.

It’s based upon a few things. Ubuntu has been underwhelming as of late. It’s fine, just underwhelming. Sometimes software becomes underwhelming as it matures but in this case, the hiring process seems designed to ship underwhelming software

Would you mind explaining why you say Ubuntu has been failing technically? I’ve found it underwhelming but I’m curious to read more negative opinions.

That’s interesting because as soon as I read the phrase ‘virtue signaling’, I ignore the person who wrote it. It’s deeply rude because you’re implying that I have no virtue. You don’t know me and so that’s intellectually dishonest.

It’s time for me to leave Ubuntu behind for good. I can’t support anyone who is this much of an asshole.

You don’t understand the point.

Someone asks a good natured question and so you go on a rant that questions everything, including their ability to stay employed? That must make you feel very superior. Good for you.

That was neither clear (nor funny).

There is a big world outside of the UK. In Canada, for example, that advice would actually be quite good.

Or just don’t test bartenders? They have bosses who do that for you. Did you feel entitled to call up Google and start interviewing their engineers the first time you used the search engine?

I was a bartender when I was young and so please cut the bullshit. Bartenders see this kind of shit constantly and it’s usually a tell that you have low confidence and a really bad personality. Confident people who come from money don’t car

The site archives a lot of old content, from software to print that helped define many of our youths. As an example, I can go to Bitsavers and find copies of all the magazines that I used to read in my high school library in the 1990s. If y

You’re trying not to be negative but they’re losers? If you’re going to start a comment like that everything better be bang on. Unfortunately, you seem to be saying that nepotism is wrong..unless you do it then it’s somehow fine because you

You set up an entirely new account to insult someone’s thought process? That’s very weak. Particularly because the conversation is about a totally different country.

I’m sorry but your third paragraph doesn’t make any sense. I can’t engage with anything like that. You seem to be arguing against the investigative process and unless you’re an actual investigator, I just don’t believe you’re qualified.

The author mentioned how the US government will have no choice but to bail out the banks. That’s the part they considered disgusting.

> Because that is what the SEC is alleging in their lawsuit. And investigations obviously take time. We don’t want a securities regulator who blindly files lawsuits against public companies. Sorry but your arguments aren’t very convincin

You made a good comment and then absolutely ruined it with your last sentence. Blanket statements like that are not only disrespectful but they’re useless. This isn’t Fox News…it is Hacker News. Second, you’re arguing they were involved in

It's a good question but has a very long answer. First off, Canadian colonialism was a complete disaster. Between the Indian Act and its manifestations (ie - residential schools), a portion of our population has been really kicked down
