“I guess we just can’t do anything about corporate lobbying, the one problem that has existed since the beginning of time that is totally immutable and impossible to change.”

Nothing’s stopping you, perhaps besides certificate problems.

You could always be sent to a sketchy .com domain too. You can still register googlemailsender.com and scam unsuspecting people; that hasn’t changed.

It’s easy: when you don’t own anything, you’re at the mercy of your lessor. This is why tenant laws exist (sort of, depending on your location). There’s an inescapable power imbalance involved. Except now more and more goods and services ar

Oh, so we only live in a surveillance-capitalist state because we didn’t send Facebook and Google enough emails? D’oh! Who knew it was that simple?

Downvote me all you want but let’s not miss the forest for the trees: you wouldn’t need to have an expensive car part if you didn’t need a car that has to have expensive parts.

As though requiring the ownership of a five-figure polluting death trap simply to live and work isn’t its own form of wealth-based oppression.

I had a lot of fun playing with Factor several years ago. The problem, as you pointed out, was that it was indeed difficult to reason about programs. The stack is implicit, so when you glance at code to try to figure out what it does, you h

Maybe because roads are designed without cyclists in mind, so sometimes you’re forced to be a car, and sometimes you’re forced to be a pedestrian. I bike. Not every day, but enough. I obey lights, I signal, I don’t do anything overtly stupi

The post-WWII economy boom was the best time to be middle class. When else could you get an education for almost nothing and a house with a single income? Admittedly, we’re reaping what we’ve sown with regards to things like the automobile

Maybe those same people shouldn’t have voted for politicians who gutted public education and unions and made it impossible to build housing near any desirable jobs.

So they might as well don’t; at least then we get some modicum of privacy.

Or perhaps it’s just a short opinion blog post and shouldn’t be overanalyzed.

The key to sustainability is to organize manufacturing across large height differentials. I’d better open some mines in Denver.

You can still rotate the entire chariot. There’s a vertical axis of rotation through each wheel. Think about how you can rotate a wheelbarrow by rotating the entire thing at once. The tire doesn’t spin, but you’re still rotating.

I don’t think it’s fair to assume that there’s a higher incidence of autism on HN than elsewhere (bad social skills can also occur in neurotypical people), but hot damn does it really bug me that HN has such a hard time with snark.

AWS’s track record is still good, though. I mean, there will always be problems with cloud technology. But would you rather try to mitigate a DDoS attempt yourself or would you rather Amazon do it? I think giving up on AWS because of this e

Seriously, screwing over workers and keeping the rich rich is yet another thing that Silicon Valley likes to think it invented, but this is, in fact, not new.

No, it’s why actual engineering isn’t currently suffering the influx of unskilled dilettantes like software is.

Except it’s easy to prove negligence with a house fire, less so for medical problems. But those aren’t equivalent things. A fire is a one-off event, and if you don’t catch it right away, it runs its course and then it’s over. But how do you

It is sad, isn’t it? I wish it didn’t happen so frequently, and I wish my concerns weren’t dismissed so flippantly. How fortunate I am to have met someone who knows more about my situation than I do.

I’m glad it works for you. It doesn’t work for me, on top of the myriad other Linux things that don’t work for me that, although well within my capability to fix, I would rather not have to deal with.
