Of course they are commodities, and of course it would increase demand, I don't know why you would suggest otherwise. It might not be like pricing blenders and there are other considerations but there's no reason to think that thi

They aren't going to answer questions because they are indoctrinated cowards who work as NSA shills and they would be fired. The best you could hope for here is to kill the bullshit they are spraying and kill any hope of them gaining a

If you want a more educational overview than this list which is kind of poor for discoverability (not to mention some egregious oversights), Slant has an awesome topic and there are lots of type samples. http://www.slant.co/

How about solitary confinement, the long term use of which is most clearly torture? This happens very commonly in the US for all manner of "disrespect of authority" in prison, usually over political matters (prison politics, not r

Is this surprising? These are people who believe in the morality of the state. Of course they believe in this, because their government is moral and of course would never do something unfairly or politically motivated like those goddamn cav

I see, so basically counsel was already paid and now they're stuck with this case until its final thrashing death. I have a hard time processing that mentally but it makes a lot more sense than my money pile hypothesis.

Okay, I read this article and what of the comments I could stomach with the awful commenting system on there and I guess it's just that I've tried to flush this entire thing from my mind after spending years of concern about it. I

I'm assuming there's some sort of monitoring onboard system and when they need new parts, they'd just land at one of these predetermined stations and be refitted. There weren't a lot of details in that video but it seeme

Maybe you should try reading more than 2 paragraphs before commenting, it makes you sound a lot more informed.

This is exactly the kind of tone deaf developer suck-up attitude the article complains about. It doesn't really matter what you or I or person X thinks, the fact is that many many many user surveys have been taken and the majority desp

I'd like to also see downranking for sites that immediately send you to a splash to download their stupid app, which is maybe the 2nd most profoundly annoying mobile behavior. Most of these are doing this with JS overlays and not actua

Why would you believe anything these guys have to say on this matter? For one, the government has clearly given them some kind of deniability. For two, if they were given orders under the National Security Letter program, they couldn't

You're more of an optimist about the state than I am because I think the only POSSIBLE resolution long term is the dissolution of all state power and moving towards enclaved/anarchistic models. Basically I'm talking about the Diamond Age in

The biggest problem I've seen over the years is that Wikipedia is not edited by experts, and in general is edited by losers. These are the sorts of losers that watch the RSS feeds of the little kingdom of bullshit they've carved out in thei

I don't think you're being a jerk, you just don't understand pricing differences in areas. If I wanted to commute 60 miles every day or remote, I could buy a house for 55k with land. A nice one. Also, I like how you say "qualify for the HN

We've well established at this point that the archaic US Patent System and software patents in general are not good for inventors, consumers, or the economy in general. They are good for lobbyists and entrenched megacorporations, however, w

That's nice of Space Camp to reach out to her like that. I don't know if Kiera Wilmot is going to be the next brilliant scientist or not but I do know she seemed like a bright, interested student who was unfairly targeted by our schools' pr

My general libertarian bent generally would lead me to hate this sort of legislation, but in markets where housing is near max utilization, it's not only desirable, it's necessary. We already have enough of an issue with housing in places l

You unintentionally point toward another good reason for strict code formatting, which is if it promotes the actual structure of the code, sometimes it makes code smell very obvious. I'm in agreement with your assessment, which would not ha

I don't agree in this case, because OP is setting up a false premise: if you are opposed to corporate makeover, you're "manipulating girls to be tomboys" which is patently ridiculous. OP is in fact a dickhead this time.

The thing I got from the article is the idea that a wine is a set score like a 95 is arbitrary silliness and so much of the wine community is set up around things like that. I do think that savvy consumers and aficionados have realized this

I agree with this in general, half the battle of wine is finding something that brings out or at least tries not to mask the flavor in whatever foods you're serving. The value in a good sommelier is not that he can sell you a $500 bottle, b
