Getting the URL of every site a person visits is quite a data mine... not something I'd personally be up for paying for. I have to give AT&T Gigafiber extra money to not track my stuff... Without trying to be insulting, I think ev

I didn't mind it, but I wont miss it either. I usually end up typing my whole search as a matter of "my brain sent these words to my fingers and my fingers are going to type until they are done" kinda thing anyway, so it was

A good bit. Payday loans aren't something anyone wants to do, ever. They are predatory, they know people only turn to them at the last resort (ie, cant feed your kids) so they can charge whatever they want. The justice comes in the f

Facebook didn't make the area expensive. No tech company did. Those local businesses, and the chains alike, have made it expensive. So much blame gets put on the tech companies, but the tech companies aren't raising the prices,

Have you tried it? Its actually quite nice. You don't have like it yourself, but you don't need to declare it bad for everyone else

Blame in the juvenile sense is useless. Blame in the sense of figuring out who is the person responsible for the offense is very important. If you don't know within who lies the responsibility, you don't know how to fix it. IF th

Thats a bad argument... There are plenty of places that rules in place to prevent "homeless tent encampments" from being a thing. The same laws that prevent you from camping in city parks. Thats a bad example...

Staying past park hours for the most part is dumb... as far as being a big deal, its not. People walking around trying to play a game after hours is no something that needs policing in the first place... Is the game responsible for people

Or... we place the blame on being in bad places where the blame belongs. If I throw $10,000 over the white house fence and you jump the fence to get to it, its still YOUR problem and YOU are the one at fault for being where you arent suppos

Funny how for the longest time now, cities and counties take more and more money from public parks citing their underuse... then when they get used, they cry out legally to stop the use. Part of the costs of a park is cleaning up after peop

The fact that so many of the comments here are focused on running and its pros/cons and not on the actual point of the article (self control) ... its kinda strange for HN to completely miss the point by such a big margin...

"I block HTML and your site doesnt load for me, defective site!" I know JS isnt HTML, but at this point, it basically is. Complaining that a site is broken because you choose to break it is just astounding.

I dont think its unfair at all. If uber profits from the trip, they should be ensuring the safety of the trip and passengers, end of story. If uber were a non-profit that simply matched drivers to riders, it would be different, but they a

> You are blaming unethical people for profiting from a flawed system. I would say fixing the system is a easier problem, then fixing humanity as a whole. Find me a system that isnt flawed...

Valve seems to have a slow pace for a reason... With games, you seem to have two choices... Do you want a game now, or a genre defining masterpiece that maintains playability for a decade later?

No, that kind of logic is a strawman... You earn your effort. You _EARN_ your wage. If you work less, if you put in less effort, if you give less... you get less in return. Its balance. Its equilibrium... without it, with more people ta

Its not disdain... its a recognition of effort. Most of us with 100k+ jobs, have put in the time, went to school, gained experience... etc... The last time I worked minimum wage I was 16... because I decided pretty quick i wanted to do bet

When you can explain to me why you SHOULD be able to make a full living wage putting books on a shelf, or pouring coffee, or putting hamburgers in a bag, you can claim it as a terrible salary.

Western Union at least requires ID to recieve money, and you have to go into a location to do so (you cant claim it online) ... so you will be on camera... Checks and money orders have to be cashed... Im not ranting against anything, just a

Is this a point to the downside of bitcoin? Im not against it at all still, but this does prove it to be a viable method of payment for shady business that can't reasonably be tracked... without bitcoin (or other crytocurrency), what
