If you can't see the difference between HN and Reddi, then perhaps Reddit truly is for you.

Some folks have a natural urge to be obeisant to the powerful, no matter who or what the powerful party is, or what they have done. That "essay" is a good example thereof.

I am glad when things like this occur. Ridiculous verdicts like this actually harm the record industry, and shake people's faith in the court system being fair and equitable. The RIAA couldn't have found a better way to discredit themselves

From the tone of many in this thread, it seems that people don't understand that non-commercial copyright is not a crime, but instead is a civil infraction -- hence why Thomas was not arrested, and not tried in a criminal court. But the cop

Like most sites as they get larger, what gets trashed and removed becomes a lot more capricious as what offends some sub-group (or challenges them) tends to get removed, while others are complacent.

Looks cool, but get "Hunch encountered an error. Please Refresh the page to retry." each time. Probably under high load at the moment.

If those stories were excluded, I'd be very uninterested in visiting here. This sort of tunnel-vision is why hackers and engineer types often seem completely out of touch with society -- and not in the good way. It's engineer-itis.

Too bad it cites as some sort of authority Teresa Nielsen Hayden, who in my view only tends to disemvowel those who disagree with her or question her in some way. And no, I have never been disemvowelled by her or anyone else, for that matte

Anyone who aids and abets this sort of thing -- criminalizing the quite natural urges of those growing into adulthood -- should go to prison themselves. The perils of living in a puritanical country....

Strangely, I was going to write something almost identical to this about the average Hacker News user, but never got around to it. Hacker News is a good place. It still -- after the decline of Reddit -- has the smartest mix of stories aroun

Many -- if not most -- human intellectual pursuits are a form of stotting. (See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stotting ) In fact, competing with other minds, not meeting direct challenges in the environment, is probably what led to most o

They do censor, and I installed a covert internet connection which I pay for myself -- Verizon FIOS. May seem excessive, but that's just how I roll. I believe they are completely evil, always counterproductive, and make me likely to leave a

If bittorrent and Kazaa, Napster didn't exist, I wouldn't have even heard of or even tried hundreds of artists, that then resulted in me buying their albums and attending their concerts. I estimate (very conservatively) because of Napster,
