I see what you mean, but you are losing source information no matter what you start with.

This is cool code but can someone explain why we'd need this? Do we not have a common lossy format that supports transparency? My primary concern is that people have an expectation of what PNG means and this completely subverts that.

Well we are talking about rampant consumerism here, the US is heavyweight in any discussion.

BMW makes a nice car and there's nothing specifically wrong with buying a nice house, I just mention it as American iconography. Not sure about the cul de sac though.

Definitely, and it's of course unfair to paint everyone with a broad brush as I know folks who are making near 100k and are donating 30% or more of their salary to charity. I just feel really angry about the US and the American culture

Unless you're mining coal, no. It's normally because you ate shit and had a high stress life and pursued sedentary activities and/or alcohol to unwind. If you take care of your body, it rarely breaks down at age 70. Age 90, t

Being "poorer" does not necessarily mean you are worse off. There's a big difference between living in a mud puddle with AIDS and building a modest life outside of the rat race. Most of us living in those middle class suburbs

100K is the point where you have the illusion of financial freedom because you can purchase a BMW, buy a nice home in a bland cul-de-sac with a bunch of nameless white dudes, and it's not until you're in your 40s and you're i

Outside of intensely physically addictive substances such as opiates and methamphetimines, there's nothing more dangerous than alcohol simply because of the availability and cultural acceptance. You can be a hardcore alcoholic as long

Bullcrap, booze is delicious and fantastic on its own. It's just like any other vice though, when it begins to interfere with your life you have to dial it back or stop or else the consequences can be severe and profound. If you'r

It DEFINITELY can, but like with exercise, it's all about training and practice. Experienced meditators can usually get to where they're trying to get in a matter of minutes.

I've heard this bullcrap forever and it's not true. Steam only restricts access, publishers choose to restrict software. Steam is available on the platforms the games are made available on, so once you download the game via their

Do you know for a fact that the Steam version is DRM'ed?

That's legit. You can definitely tweak a Windows app to run well in Wine. I'd love for every game to have a Linux version but the market is tiny and most of these indie studios are maybe 3 people max working on the game. I don&#x2

Give evidence for any of this and maybe we can start discussing it. You've made 4 random statements with nothing to back it up. It would be important for savvy readers to remember that HN has government/NSA shills that lurk about.

I'm less annoyed that Silver is going to work on trivial stuff and more annoyed that he's doing it for ESPN, who is doing everything possible to make sports coverage as dumb as possible. I mean what the hell is Silver going to do

Yeah, he probably should have used the channels so he could have been harassed and persecuted before the data was ever out. You do realize that the Obama administration has persecuted whistleblowers and created confidential materials at a r

Bush didn't want to wipe his butt without permission. That's what happens when you elect a weak leader with no experience and it's at the root of what's happening now with Obama. These guys were and are over their heads.

MS: "Let's fight them instead by giving as much user data to the government as possible, grab some more contracts. We need something reliable and easy to use. Does anyone know how to install Linux?"

Yes, thank you. Everything post-9/11 was already on the table including DHS and the invasion of Iraq. 9/11 was for the Bush administration the simply a huge amount of grease on that wheel.

Squarespace comes close, you basically have to pick a theme and start typing, but it also doesn't offer a free version. I think no one is in this space because there's no legitimate way to make it happen profitably that users or r

Can you call desegregation revolutionary since it was just "doing the right thing?" In a corrupt market or system, doing the right thing is in and of itself a revolutionary act. Doctors standing up for what's right instead of
