Your definition of 'evil' totally removes intent. It can be unacceptable, unfortunate, or something else. But 'evil' implies unmitigated badness. This is not a black and white issue. Besides, you're begging the ques

I am so sick of articles like this which make some broad moral judgement about the new tech economy. This one is even worse than most because the author doesn't even attempt to give some statistical merit to his argument. Instead he ta

There is a gaping hole in this study which seems to be making the rounds on the major news outlets: why did the authors not control for the arrival of other personal dating sites? I don't doubt the correlation but to pin this on craigs

You are confusing software engineering with computer science. Most HN users certainly know that the fundamental theories of computation are rooted in rigorous mathematics. The point of the article is is to share the insight that mathematica

This article is terribly written. It reads like a fluff piece written by a lazy junior high school student. Which it very well may be for all I can tell. To start, it quotes "a blog posted to HN" as a source, and then links to th

Whether or not you think Ulbrecht really was a full-on digital gangster, assassinating enemies at will -- I sure don't -- I think we all can agree: it does not bode well for your coming trial when the judge publicly declares you a dang
