Glad they are doing it, but every search without a warrant is a felony. Suspicion isn't enough. The country is in trouble because actual rule of law is beyond hope for even longshot lawsuits like this.

For government spending to create a job that pays around $60,000 a year, it costs about $100,000. Figuring $40,000 in overhead. These are estimates, but even if you change the figures, the math below will still work. A business decides to

Apple decides to do C. But C is a lot of work. So they do A and say "make web apps" and they start working on B. Meanwhile everyone screams, we want B, even though apple never promised B. Apple delivers B and everyone demands C and the

It is kinda amazing to me that this is up for debate. I think the reason is that so much policy presumes that government can just make a choice and pick whichever is best for the economy. Notice in this article, and almost every other artic

I once worked at amazon. They hire managers who can barely operate computers and can't code. They like to keep engineers on call. So for instance, on more than one occasion I was forced to wake up and fix a chronic problem caused by anoth

Back when that is what agile was, I was all for it. But it had become a dogma, just like the dogma that causes you to lie about the tea party and obamacare- you don't carewhat reality is.

Only if government is fiscally irresponsible would deflation be bad. If they operated responsible, deflation would mean they could offer more services with the same tax rates as last year. For banks, they would have less income from lendin

Yes, please don't say economic nonsense. What you are giving me here is political ideology, not economics. Your claims are easily disproven. The period of Americas greatest economic growth, where we went from backwards colonies to economi

Sure, didn't mean to come off as disagreeing with you, as your article makes many of the same points. Just venting because so much of these ideas have become an ideology....I respect that you are advocating a non-ideological approach.

There are many falsehoods and misrepresentations in this article. Is your goal here to start a political debate? Wouldn't such a debate have little place on hacker news? If so, please don't post political propaganda and you can save us a

This, and other coverage of the android vs. apple competition seems to alway miss an important point. For instance he says "if the iPhone didn't exist, I'd certainly use an android", and that they are much better than other phones that are
