Seems like CEOs could be replaced with a spread sheet. As far as I can tell most CEOs basically follow a spread sheet provided by the PE that owns the company. So I never knew why PE would ever seek to fire the 30k a year office manager, wh

And if those features happen to never be implemented? I really think it is a bad practice to force adoption of a new API that can't fulfill the same functions as the previous one. Nobody would be here talking about this if they just ma

What OS? I use this all the time, I don't think I have ever had a problem. I do use nightly though. I have like 100 tabs open, and I would know if I was missing any of them. I need them all. ALL OF THEM.

Margin loans don't give you cash to go buy a car or house, or pay for a fancy vacation. If somebody figured out how to do this they probably are breaking the law. There are also a lot of limitations to how much can be detected in this

But the gains made by the lender are taxed, so in a way even taking a lone out you are still being taxed. Loans are not free.

I think that is easy for much of the HN crowd to say -- where things like updates are a daily occurrence. But I think the world of POS systems is much slower, and requires a lot of testing and read tape to make even a simple change. I think

Seems like a lot of effort to get one umvi to shop at their store. They will likely have to push this out across an entire chain. I see your point, but I don't think the average user will care about this, and it would be a huge cost to

Those numbers need adjusted for population size. But I would guess that schools stopped growing. I also think looking at the past to predict the future is probably a bad way to look at things. I know I would not buy stocks that way.

Ubuntu had dash - a minimal sh implementation. For the system I think it is a good idea to limit library interactions with things related to keeping the system running or booting.

>This was in 1899, not 10,000 years ago The first people were in 1899? Or just the "second" people came in 1899? Part of my argument is that you can't be a "first" person in 1899, because the first people arrived

Okay, now the hard question. Why should we care that anybody was a "first people"? And how long down the line will we recognize a group of people as fist people? Do they not make babies with non first people? 10k years from now ar

Oil is not globally owned, it is owned by individuals who mine it, and the land owners who allowed it to be taken from the ground. The way this is being worded and the only foundation for such arguments is if it is assumed oil is a right fo

Your wording makes me cringe. People don't have "freedom" to use or have access to things in the sense you are suggesting. Its not a fundamental right to have and use Oil. In its extreme you are basically asking people to suf
