It is self-evident? What do you mean. The guy is not an expert, end of story

That's a lazy argument. Obviously tools are tools. But if tool A revolutionized human society and has massively advanced technology (and CAN be used for harm), where tool B's positive impact is a drop in the bucket by comparison a

That is an insane take. So according to you, for example, it wouldn't have been justifiable for jews to carry out violent acts against the Nazi regime during WW2? Or any other oppressed people do so?

That's an absurd statement. By your logic, you can't just say that we have the smallpox vaccine "because of Edward Jenner". Because you would also "have to prove we could not do it without Edward Jenner". What

Out of curiosity, could you point to a tech blog or something else going over clearsurgery's stack? That's really interesting

But it's not a quote in the input text, so it's very funny that the output introduces quotes around it like they were scare quotes.

If you don't think this would happen even in an 'idyllic' scandi country or wherever, you're mistaken.

That is naive. 'they need a real government that protects people's rights' and this government will magically materialize out of thin air and institute an island paradise, right? You can't even meaningfully discuss a rea

Sure, next we should implement global communism and live in peace and harmony forever! That is most definitely feasible

Exactly, I can't believe the braindead takes being spouted on this thread. Is HN really filled with people that can't think critically the second they leave their terminal?

How is revoking pro bono work you volunteered 'wild'? Should offering services lock you into indentured servitude?

How would it be illegal if it was, for example, explicitly listed as an option in the contract?

How is HFT a middle man? We're not talking about things like market makers in this discussion

Would you mind commenting on how it's been going so far? My last consultancy never bought in on .NET web frontend and I haven't had the chance to try it out on a side project, your team liking it so far?

Jesus man, your hubris is astounding. 'I made no assumptions'? Ridiculous lol Behave yourself

I totally agree with you, but it's pretty obvious why this behaviour exists. At the end of the day, a cell phone is as much a status symbol, something akin to the clothes you wear, as much as it is an actual phone. Would you potentiall

Well it's an excel add-in, how else would it work?

Looks like the EU finds pricing a non-physical product on a country-by-country basis to be price discrimination against EU nationals: "When you buy goods online in the EU, prices may vary from country to country or across different ver

I mean, adding some shotgun changes to a messy codebase is always significantly easier than refactoring the whole.

Look man, nations don't have any obligations to the citizens of other countries. Why would any other country want to take in another uneducated and poor individual?

As a dev that hasn't touched Ruby in his time yet, could you expand on the productivity differences you've seen between Java/C# and ruby devs? I totally buy that a language like ruby can be more productive, but a 3x differenc

Come on man, I know the majority of the time HN can fall into the dropbox launch "I can set that up myself easily" mindset, but this goes all the way back to the other direction. People do not need an AI to "analyse the laund

How can you reassure me that a random project by the name of AtlasOS doesn't contain some malware or something else?

Yes, there absolutely are individuals whose homelessness is their own fault - every case is unique, some definitely did it to themselves and the majority did not. But placing all homeless on some sort of pedestal of morality is a really biz
