I imagine it comes from some flawed business belief in the survival of the fittest. I've never heard a tech person advocate for it, I only ever hear it from business types.

It seems you have failed to consider that the meaning of something is subjective and that for you it means nothing and lacks depth, while for others it is profound in its depth. In situations like this, I often find it more productive to ex

"anti baby pills" is an interesting term, here in the U.S. we normally call it "contraceptives". I'm assuming you're in Europe, I know in German it would be "Antibabypillen".

I don't think the person you were responding to argued that removing those hurdles would create the most active business creation in the world. Enabling successful business creation is a worthy goal, one I think you'd agree France

It's not weird because where you expect it to be is where it is, if it were somewhere else (some distant ansible transmission) you would be used to that and think it weird to imagine it being in the body.

I mean I get it but your annoyance in this case appears to be directed at evangelicals on the internet you are free to ignore, as opposed to coworkers the presence of whom you have little choice. Maybe you are less free to complain about co

You know you don't _have_ to read about bitcoin, right?

And yet what I responded to was a restatement of the same "deeply dull line of thinking" as you put it that triggered the responses you say I'm restating. I'm not sure what your point is, other than to say people on the

I assume comments like that are from people who are conflicted by the fact that if their head weren't so far up their ass they would have entertained the notion enough to at least acquire a few bitcoin, but because it's now too la

I'm close with a person holding a Ph.D. in economics (close as in she's my girlfriend), and she would absolutely enjoy arguing with you.

I get the joke, but the literalist inside me wants to always point out when I hear this that it's not as though he stops being the founder of Microsoft in the few seconds he stops to pick up money. He doesn't lose money by picking

That sounds like the basic premise of "Waiting for Guffman". The characters of Blaine Missouri are celebrating the 150th anniversary of the settlement of their town by reenacting it. Basically the original settlers were trying to

People are strongly opinionated about everything if the internet forums are any indication. I think the truth is more like opinionated people speak up, and most people just enjoy life.

This sounds like an aristocratic response to a revolution. I don’t mean this as dismissive, I mean that clearly there are enough people dissatisfied with the status quo that they are taking measures surprising to those satisfied with the st

Since we're doing JMK quotes, he also said "Capitalism is the extraordinary belief that he nastiest of men, for the nastiest of reasons, will somehow work for the benefit of us all."

Well regardless, the ease with which people take up arms against anyone who like something different from them is strange. There are no objective truths about metal or plastic as a material for headphones, just what people prefer. I love th

> But you are brainwashed, thinking you need metal on your head instead of plastic which is far superior and lighter. What a strange sentence. Most reasonable people would probably agree nobody "needs" neither plastic nor metal

With respect, web sockets are a tool. If you think it is inappropriate to use a tool a certain way then your are obviously free to feel that way, but it seems a little “get off my lawn” to be upset with other folks finding creative uses for

May I propose a corollary: we all suck at security when confronted by a well sourced adversary.

I’m not falling for this again. I spent enough time playing The Witness.

Thanks for some sources. I spent a lot of time looking through them but was unable to find evidence Newton predicted the events the person I’m responding to claims he did.

In general, I don't disagree but isn't the second point ultimately a tautology? Certainly an otherwise law abiding citizen might arm themself with no intention of committing a further crime.
