I think republishing someone else's work without permission them is morally wrong, but offering a taxi ride is only wrong insofar as it is illegal. One is a good law protecting content creators, the other is crony capitalism. So I thi

Why not use Linux? Same price point advantage, and even better than mac for development because you can develop on the exact same distro you will use for your server.

You make a good point. However I still think it's underhanded an unnecessary. People are going to buy from amazon for a host of other reasons such as convenience and maybe free shipping if they are prime members. I think amazon need

I'm all for competition. If amazon is the best, then more power to them. However if they stifle competition, that's a problem. From what I have read and my experience, they are stifling competition. For example, I read a persons

I mean 3D like age of mythology. For me personally, I would gladly put up with the extra controls for the sake of more eye candy. It makes it more immersive for me. I think I like ape2 better than aoe3 in many ways, but it's just so

A good 3D remake would use the same models, which really are beautiful. But in 3D you could experience them with so much more clarity, from any angle and at any zoom. It just makes the experience so much more immersive. I realize that this

Some people love games no matter the graphics. For me I can't stand games with bad graphics. I think all these reboots are money grabs that add little given today's standards. They need to do a 3D remake of aoe otherwise it&#x2

I think it's much better to tax the cars you don't want rather than to subsidize the cars you do want. Why? Because the state is not doing well financially, and they are not in the place to drop 3 billion on subsidies. I think it

I thought no the easiest way to understand is this: You could spend 1 million dollars a day for 270 years before you ran out.

Lol... I'm talking about a furnished one. A relative of mine had an furnished unit they rented out and I remember this was an issue. They paid a pretty expensive cleaner as far as cleaners go, but thought it was worth it.

It's not just the publishing industry that is the problem. It is merely a symptom of the greater malaise in higher education as a whole . The focus is on degrees, not on true learning. So much of what occurs is in universities is tota

People are afraid of "super intelligent" AI that can make itself smarter taking over the world. Well they didn't count on people becoming "superintelligent", making themselves smarter :) Not sure how well these Chi

Getting it cleaned by somebody who won't steal your stuff is a challenge. They can just say that it was taken by the renter.

Lol, what you are saying is true, but I actually do find some content about coding here! Also I appreciate the discussions. Instead of one agenda rammed down mu throats, I get to see the honest opinions of a lot of people.

Men get drafted and get their arms and legs blown off, women can stay home. Spare the women and children in war. I don't think it's cultural. Most men have an innate desire to protect women, and treat them with special favor. Th

The standard of evidence should be the same as that of any other crime - I.e. Innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. If you locked a person in a cage for 10 years, you would be considered a horrible person. It's no dif

The thing I like most about TS is interfaces. I use a single "options" parameter for functions whenever there are a bunch of parameters, and having autocomplete for it makes life so much easier.

False accusations should be punished with the same penalty as the accuser tried to put upon the innocent. Until that happens, people will see no reason to stop false accusations that they think will help them.

I'm very glad I found Hacker news. Sometimes I read the news just cause I'm bored. Now I can just read hacker news which helps me be a better coder instead of draining me of emotional energy

Funny, I was watching a video of a guy with a prosthetic hand. He loved it. He said he went from almost committing suicide to being ok with life again. When he talked about his bionic hand, he said "I'm not left handed, I'

Economists these days are basically trying to find a way to avoid hard work and thrift. Unfortunately the only way we get better computers is by very smart people working very hard to develop better machines. The only way we get houses is

Crony capitalism stinks, but the first amendment protects freedom of the press. You are crossing into very dangerous territory when you limit the right to express one's political opinion, even if it is corrupt. Perhaps a better idea w

I think calling such speech "violence" may be a straw man. By calling it violence, people are intentionally equating his words with physically hurting someone. Since everyone knows that physically hurting someone is unacceptable,

I clicked through to the actual bills decsription and would agree this is pretty ridiculous. However us support for Israel is important because they will do a much better job of handling the Iranian threat than the us government.

Agreed. Also there is something "magical". Nobody understands how our consciousness works. While people will tell you it "arises from the brain" nobody has the slightest clue about how that works. It's a really ha
