That's a clever phrase but it's not entirely accurate. Marijuana makes you feel good, without needing to do anything else. This can be great in some environments.. such as enjoying a serene natural scene. But if you've got de

You could roll your own easy enough sure, I think the author is saying "Look! I have used the tools available and built the wheel, and I am giving it to you so you can save time."... does that sound about right?

So... yes? I guess I'm challenging you to justify this policy without naming greed as your justification. You are exploiting people for what amounts to slave labor. You're saying that because someone has the unfortunate luck of be

I understand everything you're saying and you aren't going to get an argument from me on these points, however I still think there is a dangerous social concern here. HN isn't obligated to save the world, but there's an

The best TLD for a commercial business is .COM, the best TLD for a non-profit is .ORG, and for other kinds of web apps, .NET will suffice. These three TLDs are half the price of this .app gTLD. In fact all gTLDs are stupidly over-priced. Fu

I apologize for that, I do try to keep my comments in line... however.. Do we not have an _obligation_ as participants in this world society to speak up about horrors? Inaction leads to more suffering. If the discussion is only happening on

Well, third world countries are nations which are significantly behind the "First World" nations in terms of social, economic, and political development or progress. For example, much of the middle east still believes that an imag

So the GDPR actually CANT protect people, and it is murdering businesses and thereby taking food and shelter away from people. That is literally a disaster. I wonder if this kind of thing is why the EU is crumbling.

Precisely this. The Internet was born out of the dreams and efforts of many nerdy people who had no reason to do it other than it could be done, and nobody had done it before. That reasoning drove the majority of computer technology progres

What happens when GDPR conflicts with SOX, which prohibits the destruction of data? GDPR is a great example of the kinds of disasters that happen when nations try to force the entire planet to follow their unilateral actions.

Why would you use anything but a string for User IDs? My understanding of numerical types is that they exist to perform math. User IDs are not used for math, they're a completely arbitrary vanity system to assist with identification, s
