The new title "an individual admitted something not the organization" is definitely more accurate, but represents an unsettling (to me) blame shift. I suppose the original title incorrectly placed responsibility on the organizatio

I am also curious to hear why c2the3rd is so confident about the ignorance displayed here and why silence instead of noise is the solution. Hacker news seems to do a pretty good job of at least up voting the majority thoughts, and perhaps w

Would an alternative be any better? Democracy seems the only way forward, the solution is education (difficult if not impossible). The mob is ignorant so pick someone smart to be in charge? How do you pick? Who decides? Maybe the smartest p

Twitter even, for the most part as far as I understand gives you complete control over your feed, with the (minor?) exceptions of promoted tweets and suggested followers. It's worth noting the candidate who has been most successful (or

I would argue it's after reproduction, successful reproduction that also has successful reproduction even. Why do grandparents love their grandchildren? Something noble about human nature and love? Or is it evolutionary advantageous?

I consider my protests and vocal opposition to christianity being enforced on my family from my family, and my vocal opposition to its ongoing role in politics as a defensive tactic. I am often labeled as being on the offensive, and it&#x27

I was not familiar with those, perhaps they will. Very fascinated reading about them now. I guess I don't follow the specifics, ... to give an example of my confusion, a journalist can't livestream a protest without blurring out t

Scary, but inevitable, no? As technology improves, it's hard to imagine regulations keeping pace with preventing this sort of thing ... And even if they did, then it would only be used by criminals and governments (while I may call it

Hm, okay, I think we're making progress here though. I've started and continued quite a few controversial conversations that have "harmed" some[1] relationships, but overall I think it's for the better and has impro

Wim Hof is an individual case study that has done research in this area, and other related phenomena (breathing and autonomous response control)[1] Not sure it's any more or less "bro science" then this article, but it's

I've been impressed with Joseph's other recent work like "hit record". For me personally I can't think of anyone better for the role. Also maybe relevant is his opinion not an opinion after meeting Snowden for resea

I think this is the same link as https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11588946 I realize multiple posts are totally legit here just mentioning it because they are with a few hours of each other and neither has much traction

Border radius with prefixes instead of with images felt elegant and simple and not shiny at the time (relative to what we were replacing).

The article itself seems to be talking more about the perceived sense of self is, and how that might be affected by organisms that replace our existing organisms. The title led me to believe it might be something more like the gondii situat

America is not an equal system, money matters. It's a vicious cycle. If you're looking for one factor, I think it's dollars and cents.

I think exposing the rules will make them stronger.

Could you elaborate, the same principle seems to apply to me, the costs of dealing with people attacking the edge strengthens the edge, no?

> By your standards, if YC and Vogt were ethical actors, they'd ask GM to reduce the offer, because building things and innovating is itself an honest reward. What do you need a reward for at all? Why are you trying to build somethi

Not against anything, just think it's fair to label those seeking large amounts of money as dick'ish and greedy. If money is your goal great, more power to ya, but I'm gonna call you a dick and not want to work with you.

by proksoup 10y ago
The amounts of money involved make everyone involved pretty greedy, I don't understand why that's so controversial. Ya'alls notion of "rights" is pretty disturbing to me.

Same as with patents and everything else. The one's filing them and demanding what's rightfully theirs are selfish, the one's not filing patents are less selfish.

by proksoup 11y ago
That is correct. It's that "rightfully yours" bit that really bothers me. Where does that come from and why is it so obviously rightfully yours? It takes some gumption to assume you're in the right. This land is rightful

> I don't think so, it's the right way to play it. Wait until you have maximium leverage and then play your legal cards. That sounds like condoning exploitative behaviour to me. Is that the sentence we are both talking about?

How is that not greedy and selfish?
