I personally don't care enough about my vehicle to be opposed to this in principle, but there are too many unanswered questions. Not the least of which is: - who's responsible if someone is seriously injured? - how much money am I

^ exactly. I believe it's now illegal to do transactions in that manner, but there was a time when it was SOP.

Yes, auto-drafting of bills. There are two major benefits. - more control. You can choose to delay paying a specific bill to make sure more important bills get paid on time. - safety. You'll never find yourself trying to get money ba

middle class is defined by income. Someone who makes $15k/month and has $14.5k/month in expenses will be stressed out, but no one would claim they're poor, just foolish.

I never allow any company, for any reason, to use ACH on my bank accounts. When you do that, you lose control over your finances.

In the US it's illegal for them to continue calling once you've made it clear you don't know who the person is, and it's grounds for suing. 3rd party debt collectors know just how easily they can be sued, so while they d

I happen to agree with you, in this scenario the leader is someone who leads, not someone who is given a title. The downside is that their goals may not align well with the company. pros and cons to everything, but I think it's a mista

American Indian also includes native populations from both Canada, Mexico, and arguably South America. The only term that avoids all confusion is the term "Native American". It technically has the same connotations as "Ameri

I wish more people understood this. I like it frame it in a less politically correct way and simply ask people if they're up for debating whether or not pedophilia should be legal. If the answer is no, then they necessarily must agree

I feel as if you've decided to follow me around and find a reason to go through with your previous threat. What exactly have I done to warrant this harassment?

stop worrying about definitions, it's a question of intent and life satisfaction for people. What category someone on the internet wants to file that under is irrelevant.

Your English is good, but not good enough. If you're going to continue writing these articles in English, find a native speaker to proofread for you. If you start getting your stuff proofread, my "asshole" comment will have

I don't understand you, my analysis was correct. 1. It was written by a non-native speaker, and 2. It was thrown up on HN in an incomplete state to garner attention (the OP said as much). This is not an informal HN post, this was speci

That's a caricature of his actual position, please be more honest than that. edit: Here's another video that does a better job of conveying his reasons for being the way he is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MShbP

I think breaking people down into A, B, and C-players is dehumanizing bullshit.

> It's not disagreement, it's how you express it ("crock"). YOU don't like how I expressed my disagreement. I could copy/paste what I said before about loud people being loud and it would be just as valid.

I don't know about you, but no post-it placement is as strong as the first post-it placement. It's reversible a couple of times only.

it's a programming language in the same way that a flashing light can be a programming language. If someone on the other side is using it to make decisions then you're technically programming something so it's a "progra
