Slippery slopes certainly exist. However, the use of "slippery slopes" as a counterpoint is not useful. In fact, its harmful as it is posed as an end to the argument. We can certainly all agree its a complicated issue that require

Please HN don't disappoint me with "slippery slope" and "it's too complicated" arguments. I want to continue to believe the level of discourse here is better than that. Its not just do-able ... doctor-assisted

Fair enough to say in "the abstract" ... but in reality, I'm sure Scott was in excellent position to declare his father wouldn't want to continue in that state. Alzheimer's in deep manifestations is devastating.

Really? This is probably the most common anti position ... and its effectively a filibuster. I have absolutely no doubt that we can properly define the conditions for medical assisted suicide (as other nations have done). Lastly, on a more

A key for learning anything is being curious and exposed , in combination. A great way to get that as a beginner (in coding or in a new environment) is to take on bug fixes and CRs. While not always everyone's favourite it forces yo

From the (great) mind of Avinash Kaushik. Comes to me at a strangely opportune moment. I would like to add one more to the list ... possibly a bit meta: Happiness is a choice. (dwell on that)

Waterloo is a sleepy, postindustrial city of 100,000, a little less than 200 miles northeast of Detroit. Ummm ... Waterloo-Kitchener-Cambridge form the K-W region (these 3 blend together with indistinguishable border) of ~ 1/2 Milli

I think about this topic in broad strokes quite a bit. These "traditions" and "formalities" ... government as we know it is over-ripe for ( to use an hn buzzword ) disruption. The future belongs to the citizens of a stat

Here's the problem - who watches the watchmen? There is a large, complex, troubled, oft-comprised, well-meaning bureaucracy in place to vet police, police training and police actions. Security guards ... not so much. Civic crowd-fundin

Let's face it, this is the MS way. Most of the time, anyway. Office products were inferior once. Same goes for search, xbox, touch devices. MS iterates, sometimes slowly, and plays the tortoise. It doesn't always work (zune, bing)
