You know, you could have ended your post by the end of the third paragraph and everything would have been fine. Your post would have been one's honest opinion about a particular cuisine, that's all. Even though I sincerely disagre

Honestly scary stuff. I can see a good number of middle-aged women be very receptive to the fake information being disseminated on Pinterest, so long as they think that such information just "organically" appeared in their home fe

Regarding your third point....are you sure about that? I feel that many people do want to share the interesting moments (more or less) of their life online. If this wasn't true, Instagram wouldn't be such a popular platform and a

Sad to see some people here be upset at the harmless mention of a subject's race. Though it is proof positive to me that even a community as dedicated towards intellectual pursuits like Hacker News has its fair share of regressive elem

New solutions appear quite a great deal more than you would think, thanks in no small part to scholars, inventors, and visionaries. Whether these solutions are viable for the marketplace are a whole different question, but these solutions c

This is an asinine argument. We live in a globalized world. You could perhaps make this argument if you were living in a closed society like North Korea. Besides that, you're missing something important about the idea of a free market.

Good points.

Ah the Wired article presents your case in a much better light. If the software in the tractor prevent you from replacing a broken mechanical part, then that can lead to the law blocking you from literally repairing any part of your tractor

My experience in code bloat seems to tell me that it comes primarily from good intentions that fail to pan out as intended. The road to hell is paved with good intentions....

Yes, but it's NOT the -only- part of the tractor. The commenter who brought up this tractor example made it seem like the government outlawed people from tinkering or repairing ANY part of the tractor. I also wouldn't be surprised

> And a lot of armchair commentators seems to underplay the amount of sheer engineering effort or cost involved in these sorts of things - it's not a case of spinning up some AWS instances, and hacking together some PHP on your week

You're misrepresenting your case here. The law stops you from tinkering with the software of the tractor. You can tweak, repair, replace, or light on fire any part of the tractor you want, so long as you do not reverse-engineer the sof

Thank you for the dose of common sense here. The way that a free market works is that consumers effectively vote for certain products with their dollars. If consumers want a certain type of device, they will buy devices of that type and sho

I'll be perfectly honest...I found this article to be not only pointless, but full of false ideas as well. I'd rather read Elements of Style all over again than read that poor excuse of an essay. One thing really irked me...the au

And so you are one of them. You're asking software developers like us to cut deals with people like you in order to avoid litigation.

It's extortion. It really is no different from a mafioso coming up to your place of business to demand dues owed for 'protection'. I wish I had the foresight to created idea/feature patents like 'Allowing users to r

While you have good intentions, I have a feeling your idea would backfire some how. Judging the objectivity of a patent through its inclusion within a peer-reviewed journal or a conference is only going to lead to more loopholes that can be
