I love how the Hacker News community can spend most of its time obsessed with starting businesses and yet still find time to decry the profit motive as evil.

Whose liberty is being restricted? Illegal immigrants do not have rights to remain in this country.

What an absurd hit piece. The Arizona law simply states that the authorities in Arizona will enforce existing federal law.

ICE should deport them and their families. That would be enforcing federal law.

It's not evil to keep money you earned.

We think the open versus closed argument is just a smokescreen to try and hide the real issue, which is, “What’s best for the customer – fragmented versus integrated?” Sounds awfully familiar. Didn't they learn anything from the desktop

What would be another motivation? Certainly not money or fame.

..."refundable" credits to those who don't pay taxes. In other words, welfare.

I had a similar experience learning to use mootools. It got rid of so many of the ticky-tack compatibility problems and just let me work on the problem.

What founding American documents can you point to that espouse an egalitarian belief? I would submit that freedom (America's true consistent ideal) and "equality" are mutually exclusive ends.
612.
by hnal943 16y ago
No, the justification for "less equality" is that it is an optimal solution. Everyone is much better off than if everything was "equal." Equality is not an end in itself. If nuclear war were to break out, we would all be equal (and dead)

So... the point is that HTML5 can't make annoying buttons with poor usability?

You and your wife have made several key decisions that indicate you are on the same page with money and will be successful: 1. You will live on less than you make 2. With the extra money, you will pay off your debt. 3. Once done with that,

No. Part of the reason for that is America's culture of debt; it's obviously not real money to the woman in the story. I wonder what her credit card statements look like.

by hnal943 16y ago
No, you don't become legally responsible for any debt you didn't sign for (that's true for your parents as well as your spouse). However, in the event of a divorce, the court will divide up the debts as well as the assets and assign them t

Unless you're dating a doctor or a lawyer, I can't think of another profession that requires you to borrow anymore than for an engineering degree (i.e. a four year college education).

Even more money was spent on the stimulus. Somehow, it wasn't as stimulating as colonizing a new planet.

...not to mention this song isn't exactly about diet advice

by hnal943 16y ago
It shouldn't. His point is that if you're 220, what you really want to lose is fat, not weight. Having more muscle will increase your caloric burn rate and actually help you to lose fat faster. This is why dieting must always be paired w

And how is that different? You're still soothing your problems with other people's money.

It's just like the loose change in the street musician's instrument case. They always start with a little of their own money in there because it helps people understand what's expected.

Certainly, it would stand to reason that anonymity would skirt much of the issue of bigotry of any kind, at least bigotry targeting other anonymous contributors. Maybe the tech community needs to simply stop being so self-conscious about i

It is easier. Whether it's better or faster is another question.
