Property rights aren't "useful and important." Property rights are the fundamental basis for any other right. What right to life does anyone have if not because they "own" their own life? What right to free speec

Having made many of the same mistakes he made, I suspect you're not in the target audience. He's speaking to engineers who want to start a business. They frequently start by focusing on the engineering things and not on the thing

While I don't like Internet providers creating different classes of traffic, the idea of the government getting involved should terrify anyone who values innovation and freedom. Soon, we'll end up with a monopoly guided by regulat

Let's be honest. The moment he discovered an attacker he should have been on the phone with the client explaining the situation and asking how to proceed. If the client wanted him to shut down and clean up the hack, he should be charg

As someone who has worked in multiple regulated industries, including with HIPAA, what they accomplish is rarely the intended goals. Regulation is a weapon to be used by powerful interests to bash competitors. For example, utilities love r

I'm curious as to the distinction here. Can you explain? Either way sounds like something wired abnormally. I don't think people necessarily choose their sexual fetishes either, though gender dysphoria strikes me as more of a co

That's not how I interpreted the article, but I may be missing something. I haven't used Inbox, but the description below indicates it's for advanced users, not somebody's Aunt Floe. "In parallel, the Gmail team wo

It's always hilarious to see arguments that people fixing up a run down neighborhood is terrible. That improvement is unfair to the people who ran it down or didn't own anything there to begin with. Let's just have things st
