> I have no idea what this has to do with Singapore at all! So clearly the best option is to simply claim it as "rubbish" instead of discussing and trying to understand the other persons viewpoint.

I remember your comment from yesterday, where you wrote about what is happening in Ankara, stating "I don't live there right now". Of course, not even living anywhere near where you are, I cannot qualify this myself. But my question (that I

It just struck me while reading this and I'm probably just reiterating something that was better put by somebody smarter than me, but: The correct response to "Why do you care so much about privacy? Do you have something to hide?" is: "From

Yes, down with those extremist puppy cuddlers. Them, Al Qaeda: all the same. Seeing you dying to leave HN proves to me in a very pleasing way that HN often just plain works .

Surveys like this should always be fully anonymous. If the name isn't published, why is it collected? Asking hackers to provide their full name is like cryptonite. As for a shorter survey - The form itself could be a lot more inviting. For

It's a tough call to make, but you do have a point. I suppose what kind of threw me off was that the image linked as an example by the poster could be understood as both a male and female version of sexual assault "jokes". Still, the impli

IMHO, those grouped inputs are a very bad idea. You can only use them on a handful of items at the same time or it looks completely unusable and if you have only a handful of items, grouping them makes no sense in the first place. So - nice

Sheesh. Foxconn wasn't build as a subsidiary of Apple. Not sure what you're getting at with that. Yes, I understand the technicalities, but if it didn't happen that way and the intent of how it happens is the way it is, arguing the permutat

I'm pretty sure that Foxconn and Apple are separate corporations, so I have no idea what you're getting at. Apple has 73k employees, 50k of which are in the US. Pretty sure most of them have benefited from US society (education, roads, poli

No, the "fair share to society" is determined by the prevailing morals of society. You can make laws all day, if society doesn't agree with them, you run into problems (ask some leaders in the middle east). Imagine a town at a lake. There i

Alright, you really are just trolling, got it. So unless you are setting up multiple subsidiaries in tax havens and funnel the money around in a way that lets you narrowly avoid the laws that otherwise quite clearly determine what your fair

This article reinforces my opinion that the business of selling templates is a foolish one. 1. The price for templates has been diluted to comical levels. 2. Site design is an integral part that needs proper investment. Clients who invest a

That may be true, I could conceive that if it were otherwise, there would be quite a high potential that you end up with something draconian. However, I don't think that's the issue here. The issue is that there are corporations making mass

Absolutely agree. I think what bothers me with some of their recent content is that it is still produced with the same aspiration to quality, but it's simply wasted on the subject matter.
