You are still forcing others to use it through network effects. Either let it go completely, or don't pretend you're fighting it. We need more people to draw a line in the sand and ditch this oppressive system completely. Facebook

"Cultural biases" in IQ tests are a myth. They are still the best way to measure intelligence. It was discussed on HN a few days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16548276

Why would that be any different to getting assigned somebody's previous IP address by DHCP? It's non-incriminating because it can be demonstrated you didn't control that IP during the time illegal content was uploaded.

I don't see anything conductive to actual work that slack has but IRC lacks. the software industries and choices of tools such as chat clients are fashion-driven and most people will be hard pressed to provide a reason why they prefer

Into the Breach is a fantastic, complex game that at the same time feels very approachable and simple in scope, so good work on the interface. It often feels like a very complex variation of chess. The maps are small and there are very few

Most people, me included, come to Hacker News for their tech-related news specifically because they don't want to see these kinds of useless, clickbaity, virtue signalling pieces.

Krakow thrives under the so-called "authoritarian" (actually very mundane and liberal) government. The conditions for the growth of the tech sector are there, and most people working in it agree that they are better off than they

What is the risk of just ignoring this letter altogether? Surely it would not hold in any court of law due to overwhelming number of examples of prior art, widespread use, and vague wording of the patent?

The title is very misleading. It's a description of smart contracts and their history, but there are no actual holes mentioned, especially not in the context suggested by the title. only the last paragraph mentions that particular cont

There was similar wage suppression (or should I say, wage theft scheme) in Silicon Valley until very recently. That's why the wages skyrocketed. If the scheme could be broken up in one industry, it can happen again in others.

Even if thousands of businesses across Europe depend on tracking users, I do not think it's enough of a reason not to fight against it, and i would be very happy if those businesses go belly up tomorrow if tracking is outlawed. A busin
