>So clearly subscriptions don’t pay the bills Wrong, you've failed to read the post you replied to. They paid the bills and even had steady growth. Corporate got greedy and wanted MORE growth which was unrealistic.

I think it's more to do with companies harvesting IPs so that they can report them to ISPs later. This is pretty common on things like big new movie releases.

Wouldn't it be harder to implement and therefore indicative of higher effort, if anything?

This one gets me constantly even after using Git for nearly a decade. My workflow where I try it one way and then the other is uncannily similar to how most people have to flip a USB at least once to get it plugged in. No idea why it's

As long as we're writing science fiction, if immortality was known to exist like that, there are swathes of ordinary people who would stop at nothing to obtain it. Perhaps the cure IS cheap (how could you know for certain it's not

Quite hard to enjoy the current times if you're dead. I would take my chances with the immortality even in spite of some vague "dark ages" hand-wave scenario, thanks.

Definitely. Once word of this system gets out, it will be gamed by students who will throw the first exam deliberately. Even without this sabotage it would still feel extremely unfair to students who did well on the first exam and are now b

If you wrote your story as a blogpost and linked it as a submission, that'd probably be fine. It's how most posts here are structured.

I don't understand your point. According to the article it was in fact that easy. The issue was due to hangups in bureaucracy.

If we built a habitable dome on Mars with a breathable atmosphere, Mars would still have a globally inhospitable atmosphere. Our key word "global" does not strictly mean every square inch of available space, but the overwhelming m

>fire from the bushes Great spin here, almost didn't catch that. Academic papers from teams of scientists cannot be dismissed for simply not debating face to face.

If that's the only angle you care about, then consider that a population free of lead-induced brain damage provides a stronger economy in the long run as more of them are able to enter the workforce rather than prison [1] or a grave [2

Funny, since this is something that HN recommended websites begin doing after Google began pushing WEI [1]. Your frustration is intended in this case, the theory being that you'll be pestered into switching browsers. Annoying for some

The difference is that keeping cockroaches out of candy bags is a much more black-and-white problem that can be solved by following the same unchanging set of steps every time. Moderating and distinguishing copyright material requires aware

This is a very easy position to take when you are not familiar with the scale of the task at hand. You have 10,000 reports come in every day. How do you get through them? One person won't do, so you will need a team. Who will you hire?

I've just vouched your comment. Not sure why it was removed, because you're right, games that are primarily immersive sims aren't being made as much by AAA studios now. Some mechanics are integrated into open world games to v

I believe "their law" is what is being criticized, and GP's "government that I help elect" would do away with "their law." Pointing out that the law being criticized as bad is in fact a law is at best a ta

Something being road-illegal doesn't stop you from doing it anyways...

Is this true? As far as I am aware there are zero pixel for pixel recreations by an image generating AI of any pre-exisiting images and no written work has ever been word-for-word reproduced in full. The closest I've seen are images hi

Let him be mad, then. I don't know why you think the masses should care if one greedy guy gets upset.

A new edition from an author indicates that they believe there is enough new information to justify selling you a whole separate book. If that is the case they should agree that the 1st edition is fair game since it won't have the same

Beyond this sentiment just being obnoxiously repetitive in these comments, it's also plain as day to see why this might be different. The projects in that link don't have a fixed, set date that support will be extended to from the

If you want, sure, but I think the reason he was mentioned with a negative connotation might be more to do with the murders he committed.

Is this true? A friend tells me that torrents for new episodes of ongoing stream-only shows are typically up within minutes to hours of being released.

This is what I felt as well. If a time traveler were to tell me that people hundreds of generations in the future will be arguing that I was not good at higher math, I would be inconsolable (even if it's true).

I'm curious if this was ever repeated but not reported on because the results were much tamer. After all, we wouldn't be discussing this had nothing bad happened, right? If someone tried doing this but the audience was idle the wh

Thanks for clarifying, in particular about the workshop. I think you're right that the service could definitely stand to be decoupled from Steam. While that might be easier said than done (you would still have to implement Valve's
