HN's guidelines suggest things hackers would find interesting; Bowie's genius, non-conformity, and willingness to experiment with musical form are certainly characteristics hackers would find interesting. His loss is a loss to the

The 717 is actually not an original Boeing or McDonnell Douglas design; it's a refinement of a very old DC-9 airframe from the 60s massively upgraded with modern avionics and modern systems. The DC-9s (and later, the MD-80/90s) we

That's exactly the problem with these sort of changes. They lack heart. They're not made because of intuition or legitimate business value, they're made to generate publicity and done in the interests of a small subset of peo

They discontinued it for the most basic reason any company stops producing a low-volume product: the demand just wasn't there. And it still isn't as much as predicted, as is evident by the slightly underwhelming sales of the Subar

I don't think anyone's saying that capitalism is directly at fault. Theoretically, a fully free market (assuming that companies always have consumer and shareholder interests at heart) should be optimal, encouraging healthy comp

The fact that going public always tends to make a company's contributions to society less altruistic and turn the ethos of the company into "moar profitz foar de shaerhoaldurs" raises some fairly damning questions about our c

I never thought I'd see the day when HN's tide of hatred would turn from government surveillance towards the social justice boogeymen of Redditdom. You're arguing that feminism and "social justice warrior garbage" a

Even if his story is true there's a lot of fallacious arguments and lack of reasoning in his claims. It's the type of "I-can-do-anything" mentality that was his pitfall. Just because he might think that using somebody el

This is the perfect characterization of the demise of malls that I can think of. They fill a niche that just isn't needed anymore. Sad. I miss my local arcade and video stores... there's only one video store left and the arcade cl

Developers start with iOS because it's a better development environment and because the iPhone is a household name, while there are scores of different Android devices. Your argument is irrelevant. The point is that Apple's contro

We never cared about the App Store acceptance guidelines before, because most apps got accepted anyway. Still, there's an intrinsic risk that you take when you push a program to the store, in that YOU do not have control over how your

Tiny bills like these get proposed by legislators all the time. Most don't pass. Just because this is a technology bill doesn't mean that it will – it's far too nanny-state and superfluous control to be remotely considered vs
