Your analogy is definitely misleading. > if I fail to show up for something where I said I'd show up, they're going to bitch This never happened. It's more like, "if I decide to stop showing up because it no longer be

> locked-in APIs > interop is toast Between your post and the author's, I feel like we're talking past each about what the above two phrases mean. First of all, what do you call a "locked-in API"? I would imagine i

I agree that Facebook started a "war", but I don't think any of these companies want to "close us in" any more than they did when they first started. Sure, you can look at the closing of Google Reader as the antithe

A meaningful death only makes sense in context of a meaningless death, which what we're sort of "destined" to have. In the scope of the majority, the planet, the universe, our lives are fairly unimportant. Similarly, our deat

I mean, I guess you could boycott their services and products if you're deeply disappointed with Google. These concerns probably aren't relevant to this because similarly to the OAuth playground, it's simply a developer usabi

Your reasons for continuing are optimistic and perhaps privileged. For a large amount of people, especially for minorities and other groups in the past, contribution to the long-term well-being of humanity was not the goal. Some people had

You're just missing the point entirely. Fry isn't setting up Cancer and Diabetes and Depression or suicidal thoughts as equals, but rather as equally likely ailments. "Make an effort" is blaming the victim for something

What do you mean? Have you ever used http://angular-ui.github.io/ ? These are all excellent in my experience.

No, I actually agree w/ you 100%. The weirdness in aspect ratio supports this. Or maybe I've seen too main of these that are spamware. Or maybe I'm too hipster about web design.

Yeah, I was wondering about this as a sort of intro or thesis to this discussion. That quote is pretty blatantly untrue and if that's the premise of this argument, well... It seems like it would be more like "women are told that they are on

I wonder about this as well. The description of Stylus is very appropriate and it's well known that Stylus provides a more powerful feature set than both LESS and SASS as well as optional syntax that makes it easier to integrate into your w

Looks like an open and shut case of Google being hilariously evil again. What's going to happen when they run out of blankets, huh? Are they are going to shut that down like Reader? I just don't know who to trust anymore.

Indeed. If you decide to stop dating someone because of an application on their phone, you are the mature one and they are the child.

I disagree. I think the biggest privilege one can have is a fair start. Being able to live as you'd like without picking up hundreds of years of stigma and injustices or having to work extremely hard to distinguish yourself as someone that

We'll never agree because I'm arguing about what racism is (a semantic argument) and you're arguing about how racism is defined (a pedantic argument). Perhaps my original post was a red herring. I was merely justifying that what she said li

by paranoiacblack 14y ago
No, you're missing that racism is a systematic oppression of a certain group or people. HN isn't the best place for speaking about social issues, so I won't write you an essay about what's wrong about what you're saying. I'll just say I bel

by paranoiacblack 14y ago
I don't understand what's wrong with this. This is quite literally the definition of racism in a sociological context: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racism#Sociological . You're going to need to disprove a lot of social science before you t

> She drags the discussion down to one of racism because someone uses the word lynching in a completely different context. If you're going to tell me that lynching does not have racist undertones, you need to qualify it.

Yeah, this was my reaction as well. I'm kind of surprise someone has fondness for Desktop Apps anymore, because I only have one and it's my web browser so I do development and get other work done. Other than that it's terminal based running

I'd argue that calling someone a "colossal fucking idiot of the highest caliber" because they did something you don't agree with is hyperbolic and pollutes the discussion. I'm merely teasing that logic so that other people can understand th

I'm not finding the exact quote right now, but Sergey always wanted Google to be able to interact with the user and suggest things to them automatically. Google Now is a part of that strategy.

I see how you got here, but that's not what I'm arguing. The parent's post seems to imply that anyone that would react strongly to a joke is a "colossal fucking idiot." This seems to imply that the joke's content has no relation to the reac
