My apologies, for both my tone and for overlooking your reference back. I think 'vast majority' of drugs is overstating it a bit, but still - I very much understand where you're coming from and do not disagree. I regret saying that "Opiates

Did you read the quoted sentence before replying? I'm not unaware that the consequences of high doses are respiratory shutdown and death. All I'm trying to get across is that taking a moderate dose of an opiate is exceedingly unlikely to su

I realize that the US is bizarro world when it comes to the political spectrum, but in most places we definitely hear alarm bells going off when an author cannot help but trot out the dead horse of 'Socialism!' in response to something as m

I don't know why you're so angry at r0s; the potential felony really is the thing most likely to fuck up your life with respect to weed. A half-ounce a week is a pretty hefty habit. I can barely imagine the constant cognitive impairment, pa

There were a number of annoying factual inaccuracies in the article, particular with respect to heroin: > ..time-killing properties of opium or heroin, but with none of the likelihood of it stopping his heart Opiates do not stop your he

Yes, it does normally have a connotation of formal censure. He was trying to score a lazy 'gotcha' point and failed.

Your point is pretty much impossible to discern as well. All I see in your post is slagging off DPR as a glorified drug trafficker, and some rather vague handwaving about the "realities of the drug trade". "Irresponsible drug manufacturing"
69.
by nullymcnull 13y ago
Indeed. Pretty much all of the ugly 'realities' of the drug trade are those which exist and thrive precisely because drugs are outlawed. SR happens to protect its users from having to deal with most of those realities - and that's a great b

That's not accurate. People are encouraged to use PGP for addresses and other sensitive communication there, but it is not enforced or directly supported by the system. There are still vendors who can't be bothered to figure PGP out (often

What's preposterous is the amount of effort you are putting into essentially saying "meh, boring" when you could have simply moved along to the next post that actually does interest you. HN may not need every "look at the old stuff I did in

The newer version as fugged up by the vendor's extensions, you mean. I'm currently using the Nexus 4 - a proper successor to and much fairer comparison to the other vanilla Android devices you've had - and have experienced no problems with

You never understood what they were actually for, then. The namespace will have a schema, and the schema can be used to validate the elements of that namespace. Not used in a "just import the data!" scenario, sure, but a lot of people who u

So, you were assuming that they weren't making a profit based on some sort of gut feeling that they were "still in start-up mode", but you used quite absolute language suggesting personal knowledge of the state of their books.

by nullymcnull 14y ago
Indeed. He's telling us much more about himself than he is anything relevant to the article. If you see nothing but a huge waste of time in this post, you're probably on the wrong site. HN in its prime would have really pissed you off, no

Apparently some 100 million users found his previous file sharing service to be of some value, until it was shutdown that is. What's difficult to see, however, is what value your pointless dig brings to this discussion.

He's claiming 100K registered users in less than one hour. That's nothing?

Even better, the update finally includes the ability to install games to drives other than the one steam itself is installed to.

You deleted the folder, and dropbox synced the deletion. This is expected behaviour. I don't know why you entrusted crucial private files to a service you didn't fully understand.

Eclipse is the primary and recommended dev environment for Android, and it's quite a sluggish beast. This is no gift horse. It's a spoonful of charity where several metric tonnes are called for.

Because I'm not interested in downloading an app for every site or social network. If viewing a G+ post without having a dismal experience is going to require a dedicated app, then I'm simply not going to use G+ at all. That represents a re

Not sure why this should be downvoted; G+ really is an atrocious mess when one tries to view it in most mobile browsers. This all applies to Android too, amazingly enough. If Google wants people to use G+, then they really do need to get

So, he's likely lying based on the fact that you "have to believe" that Amazon uses some undisclosed super-elite ninja tech, rather than yet another hokey algo based on IP address and other hopelessly unreliable data? That is not an argumen
