Is this a case where the plaintiff actually crossed the border, or an exclusion zone case where he just happened to be within about 50 miles of the border?

This is one case there the HN policy of using the title of an article as the title of the submission is inappropriate. I nearly missed this article because it didn't say "White House Response To:"

Sadly, there isn't any money in curing diseases. Pharmaceutical companies make money on recurring treatments.

I love how this post points out a problem and fixes it at the same time.

I don't know why people are seeing low MOOC completion rates as a problem. It just makes completion more valuable as a credential. That plus the fact that MOOCs have wider accessibility should make traditional institutions very scared. It'

I read it and then thought "Why Coke?" That's the story of every manufactured product assembled from multi-sourced vendors. It's not news, and it's not unique to Coke. If you think it is you'll probably have an orgasm when you learn how pen

The "probable cause" exemption is bullshit. If you have probable cause, get a warrant. No patrols, no police drone leaves the ground without a warrant targeting a specific person or group.

I'm fine with citizens having drones but not the government.

Scrolling is really becoming the new thing in UX design. Am I the only one who finds it irritating as hell to scroll when it renders slow? I don't think this is the end game. There has to be something better.

I really really wanted to be able to run Geocities-izer on the site. But, alas, Flash.

Oh. Okay. It needs a TL;DR because I did read it, but it didn't help.

This is a rather silly analysis. Open beats closed over a longer time scale. It's an overall industry trend, not a scoreboard for individual companies.

So the problem isn't that you thought he was a hypocrite, it's that he didn't lie well enough to hide it. Isn't that hypocritical?

Their plan is to transition people to cellular enabled devices rather than transitioning non-cellular devices to cellular devices.

This may sound weird to say, but I'm starting to think that most of Apple's problems come from the fact that it is a hardware company rather than a software company. In a very real way, it seems that they don't get software. I think it

How then is unlocking a cellphone a violation of a copyright enforcement scheme?

Technically, doing this is a DMCA violation, right?

Created in 1977, Make has its quirks. But whether you prefer GNU Make or a more recent alternative, consider the benefits of capturing your workflow in a machine-readable format. Like a programming language?

Short answer: It would bring Google an incredible amount of grief. 99.9% of everything you read on the web is copyrighted text.

Your first paragraph admits that he may not have any control over the pricing and then your last paragraph implies that he does. How did that happen?

That strikes me as a very patronizing attitude toward women.

I saw a woman wear a "Byte Me" t-shirt at the last conference I went to. Who do I talk to about fixing this? :)

What I think is particularly interesting is that anyone doing this in North America would probably be tried and convicted of child endangerment purely due to unfamiliarity and outrage at the practice. It wouldn't matter whether someone pres

Governments don't know enough about the internet to know what a hosts file is and I don't think we want them to.
