I'm more or less fanatically liberal. But I happily set that aside while visiting HN. Please don't bring in such broad attacks. I almost voted it down as well (despite agreeing with the sentiment), for the exact reasons pointed out by radu_

But, isn't that the same both ways? I have personally been on the "out-of-luck" side most of my life, even for routine care. Would be wonderful to get at least the basics in place.

How does this even have two votes? Incendiary title. Utter tripe. Flagged.

It seems like there's a simple design spec for a very nice keyboard: - Buckling springs, for that clicky feeling - Split, or somehow ergonomically enhanced - Columns instead of staggered keys Anything else? Any disagreements

Well, that's simply stupid. But Arrington specifically holds up examples of "Ezra Callahan on being a Jewish employee and supporting Facebook’s policy to not remove groups that deny the Holocaust." Which is not. He implies (well, even pla

I suppose, since I haven't studied law as much as I should have, that there is an already established set of guidelines. If I were coming up with an admittedly vague rule-of-thumb off the top of my head, I think the line would be speech adv

I completely agree with your sentiment, but I think the issue is different - what class of speech is protected? Speech, once protected, cannot be censored nor punished after the fact. Unprotected speech can be both censored and punished.

I disagree on a number of points. I understand that it's a difficult subject, but to just point out one example: "The third important point is that not all speech is equal. Some speech has direct, negative consequences. Few would argue tha

Wow, very informative - even if I struggled along at some points and had to look up definitions :D For someone who last dabbled in assembly just a bit on a Tandy 8086 eight or nine years ago, what's the best way to start clean and get a fre

Wouldn't this affect business travel, such as deliveries to restaurants, offices, grocery stores, etc.? I think the primary thing to cut down on is luxury travel, where walking/cycling/public transit it a reasonable alternative - and to do

I think the webapp/startup line blurred together in the funding frenzy of the past few years where revenue-less webapps could be acquired profitably for the founder. But the line is growing more distinct starting as revenue regains its impo

What....what is this? Why do we care? I feel like there's some joke that's going right over my head here...

Well, best of luck to you. I've never heard of your site before (that I can recall), so it will be starting "fresh" in my case. Produce interesting content for us to consume, and we'll be more than happy to have you in our community!

I think you may have missed the service plans page: http://www.afterthedeadline.com/commercial.slp The top plan is for an estimated 500 writers, with 50,000 requests/month, and costs $200.00. That's significantly lower than $1500/month. B

I'm actually working on integrating this into my site right now because the writing of our users will affect our public credibility, so this type of tool is crucial. Thanks for all the amazing work raffi!

It's an interesting article that has a hint of rant about it. There's no reason a public-private partnership couldn't work if the motivations and skills were aligned properly. Entrepreneurial competition, striving for riches and fame, and f

Who is attacking the AppStore? Who is afraid Objective-C and Xcode will be the next development platform? What does "the next development platform" even mean? ObjC and Xcode are just fine, and developing apps for the iPhone is a lot of fun

Back in my research days I was going to apply for a certain patent, and spoke to a lawyer at the university about monetizing it. He ended up telling me that it can actually be dangerous to be too exhaustive in your research. You want to do

This is really the crux of the argument: What do you want to have when you finish? If you just want the completed application ASAP? Go with what you know, and don't waste time on learning anything new. Want a completed and familiarity with

"If you downvote, add a comment (why?)" That seems to be what kyro did. A one liner simply doesn't add much to the conversation - as you said, it's a fine line. He seems to have been overly critical and could have reigned it in a bit (no

HN is not the place to regurgitate stupid old slashdot memes that add little or nothing to the conversation. There are a number of ways that you could have phrased your response that would have stimulated real discussion instead of "har har

Looks pretty cool - I've been very eager to get into hardware hacking (after getting comfortable with functional programming). I wondered about the "legitimacy" of Arduino boards and if they could really support real world apps, so I google

Assuming the cost isn't too great, I hope BART will collaborate with these two to develop and benchmark some new interfaces. This prototype is a brilliant way of presenting the information. And even though the time savings seems small, I al

Title seems to imply that it's an official decision, and that's a bit disingenuous. The normal release will continue with KDE4 and keep pushing it until it's stable. This is just for people "who are not quite ready to take the jump to KDE4.
