This sounds like an implicit discussion about semi-secret courts for the pure reason of defending a potentially innocent defendant. What happens if X is tried for $crime and is found not guilty? Court of public opinion may still see them as

Reading further in, it was a screw-up on the paper envelope that had too big of a window and referred to HIV treatment connected to the person's name. This is really bad, but it was 12k localized instances of crummy physical mailing. I

You want evil? I can give you evil. ASM.js or similar like Webassembly. Use it, create a polymorphic VM in the browser that forces a user to compute the ads in order to get content. Now, trap the content in each VM (and no, not as a downloa

that may be true. But in light of the no true scotsman argument, perhaps we should re-evaluate whom calls themselves nazis. I'd be perfectly fine banning whom calls themselves nazis. perhaps I'd be bad about running the '

They already do, with TOR. They can die in a gutter, for all I care. They made their line, with the political dissenters, the quiet, and the the hidden. But you know, blame the "bad people" and the "abusers".

Indeed. Any service online, where you do not explicitly pay money for goods/services rendered, you can rest assured that you are paying with data or influence (advertisement). HN is no different. They control the news, and how the news

well, the easiest way to refute is to call him racist, sexist, and ageist, all the while beating the "FIRE HIM NOW" drum. it works rather effectively. (seriously, the dh0 "u r a fag!!!!!!!!!!!!" is a terrifying force, wh

How interesting. If I read between the lines, it would make fiscal sense to be ruthless and Cutthroat early on. Then after guaranteeing some certainty of income, sell the business to a nice player. That way, you could get the best of both w

That's very true. That's why I provide generic usernames and everything. Because how the current providers offer service is as through a debt system. You rack up the $$$, and they tell you after the fact. I would greatly prefer to

They didn't a year and a half ago. Created a 3k bill for my employer over RemoteApp. Yeah, charge per user, they said. Oh yeah, min 20 users, and we round up - of course in small print at the time. Unless I have hard guarantees, I give

> Never use a pay-per-use service that does not include a reasonable "turn off after $X" feature and appropriate warnings. None of the "Cloud providers" offer that. They "claim" that it could impact service

Like I said, I'm not ascribing any sort of nefarious or dastardly actions by you. It's more of a gut reaction of the idea of "Cloud everything". I'd be much more interested in running my own backend, than frontend d

I first thought it was neat. Personal library, like how Streama is a personal Netflix. Then I saw it's another service owned and controlled by someone else. Don't get me wrong, I don't know you, and im not going to assume bad

Actually, due to transparency, I would want the ability to drill that deep into the financials of the county, state, and country I live in. Even if it is a net positive offset by an exact equal negative. The problem is when government is op

I attributed it to Googlers that had accounts here, and were running a flag-campaign to keep these articles off of HN. perhaps some of the mods could chime in as to whom was doing the bulk of the flags. Reasoning: its a political hot-po

That also depends on how many submitted talks. It would be a farce and ridiculous if 100 talks were submitted, and 99 of them were <gasp> males, and then they shut down and complain because no females were chosen. It's called sta

It was the word I could think of that expressed the sentiment. Would you prefer "Moderate centrist Republicans"? Or... you know, the term everyone knows. Republican in Name Only. There's also DINO as well.

Because it's not politically correct to hate, denigrate, insult, or deride Non-white people. Infanticide? Sure, cool. Homophobia because of religion (not Christianity)? We're fine with that. Honor killings? Its a pass. Killing goy
