I don't even know what hackernews has become.

Ah, that's what I thought, but I thought I'd ask to be sure. I've been living in NYC where the neighborhood you live in and the industry you work in can make you lose sight of how others live. Thanks for the response.

I didn't realize that minimum wage earners make enough to afford video games. I realize that minimum wage is not much money, but if a KFC worker tunnels her off-time into something other than personal growth, that's a different p

I like this solution. However, ICANN already made profit on .us/.ru domains, when I really think that they should have come as 'free' suffixes to registrations. e.g. I buy 'apple.com' and while if I want to leave i

That's not fractioned. Are you being flippant?

If one bothers to post on hacker news, it should be for the benefit of the community. It was a lazy action and you can spare me the snide remark.

by mjolk 13y ago
Don't be so lazy. If you're just interested, click and find out. If you feel it should be, suggest why it's an interesting read.

That's really pathetic and embarrassing.

Ah, yes, the linear reward to effort fallacy.

Yeah, I don't understand most of the responses. I hope that the responses are either from people that: a) Don't think that he's saying "here's advice for life" (and if they do, don't realize that this is

It's not just about the wallet, it's about respect and the lizard brain telling you that if you don't get it back, you're allowing said a_hole to win. I would be extremely likely to resort to violence if I felt that the

I'm not perpetuating a strawman. The reason why there's a secondary justice system (normally in which the aggressors are the victors) is because people allow it to exist.

by mjolk 13y ago
Cute, but when you're confronting someone, the situation can always turn violent. Let's say that you confront someone and end up punching him/her in the mouth and get a cut on your hand. You could get a serious infection or

In your opinion, why do you believe that reporting crimes is a "white/middle class privilege" decision?

The edit quip was necessary. I thought that hackernews would be safe from the "internet tough guy" syndrome, but I guess not. I mean, I-get-it. The poor tend to go to jail at a higher rate than their more well-off counterparts f

Sure, this advice might be helpful in the context of "you're in prison, the person that slighted you is also in prison," but outside of that, it's advice that only serves to aid the aggressor. Also, why are you suggestin

I hardly think that office disagreements are the sort of thing the advice is meant to deal with. Also, be careful with taking your own advice on this one. If you keep working with someone personally instead of formally, you're giving

Such as what? Also, hilarious that you call it "tattling." If I stole your wallet, I'm sure you'd "tattle" on me.

by mjolk 13y ago
Uh, you could also respond to me. I don't think that reality is a meritocracy or simplistic. Authorities often don't care, I get this (I live in New York). It's not about dependence on authorities, it's knowing that if

Nice. At least one person can see the irony in people trying to disagree when all they have for research is "I read something about this on the popular user-content website Quora."

by mjolk 13y ago
How do you think confronting people normally goes? Have you ever been in a fight? Even if you "win" a fight, you don't have anything to gain. Throwing punches can lead to infections and serious injuries (including death).

Interesting, thanks. I wonder if Quora does this to scam on SEO

"I learned that you should go straight to the person you're upset with rather than go to authorities." This is bullshit and dumb advice. If someone steals my bike and I find out who it is, I'm not going to go to his apa

As someone that doesn't have a Quora account, it's nice to have the content without a Facebook/Google login wall.
