I've never been so happy to have skimmed an article :-)

Man, what is up with the Wikipedia community. The level of vitriol over the new image viewer (which I personally loved) is just ridiculous. What software changes do they approve of if any?

Indeed. You'd think that just a normal life of experiencing variance between humans would dispel that notion, but people are irrationally wedded to their prejudices.

Why stop at upvotes? If hacker news were a truly free market, you should be able to buy any action the site supports over its database, and for a higher price, any operation the database itself supports. If Hacker News really cared about ec

This article mentions price controls. There are tax benefits to using green electricity/cars versus polluting electricity/cars, but should gas cars be price-controlled up and electric cars price-controlled down? Should Tesla be ma

WOMAN: I find it creepy and threatening when men hit on me at hackathons and I'd like it to stop. MAN: But what about my right to have a say in the communities I'm a part of? ...yeah.

Uh, yes, when it comes to women's safety and women's rights, men have literally nothing to add to the discussion. It isn't the 1800s. Men do not own women's bodies or spaces. Thinking that your opinion is universally rel

I don't recall stating anything about definitions; however, if you're a man approaching someone at a hackathon, you probably don't know the person otherwise (or you'd do so at a more appropriate place and time) and you&#

Haha, "misandry." Great way to out yourself as a redpiller; I sincerely hope you gain the emotional maturity necessary to overcome your mail privilege/entitlement and have a fulfilling life.

It's the concept. It objectifies women. A hackfest is not a nightclub or a dating site. Having to constantly turn down sexual advances is awkward, and many times physically dangerous, and it has an effect of excluding women from spaces

It's depressing that in 2014 this is something being discussed at all. It's equally depressing that otherwise intelligent people will try to argue against codes of conduct, not realizing that as white men, they have literally no s

Depressing comment. Is accessibility to the majority of humans somehow a negative factor in evaluating an artistic work? You can win at the cultural one-upmanship game by writing crap that only a few critical theorists will ever read, but b

This submission is about counting words on Google Books and other online sources. The other one reviews a few decades of research in psychology. I would say that books that are happier sell more, so there are more of them written.

If you're really confused, the aeon one is the better one scientifically, and reviews a much larger array of science from a number of domains, rather than scanning google books.

Who would the author be granting a license to? The project had no legal entity at the time of his contributions and the fact that some of the developers were later hired by Mojang doesn't imply that Mojang can arbitrarily re-license th

...That's irrelevant. It's still his code and still his copyright.

No. There's no such thing as an "implicit" GPL exception. You're right that the original CraftBukkit project equally violated the GPL, but now that Mojang is distributing it, they're the ones liable for the violatio

The GPL states that any derivative work created by combining the GPL'd work and another work must be licensed under a GPL-compatible license. Violating any clause of the GPL revokes your copy of the license. So if I'm a company

In my experience, only people above 30 watch reality shows. Virtually all reality shows are for old people. Real Housewives, everything on HGTV, everything on the History and Discovery channel... the only network that's associated with

Wow, I hope your son(?) is able to break away from your frankly horrible advice and live a happy life. Antidepressants help people and literally save lives. Depressed people can be very effective at hiding it, and you might think he's

On another related note, when titles are edited by HN staff they shouldn't be in Title Case. That's deceptive.

A warrant entitles you to search a specific place for a specific thing. It isn't a letter of marque. Courts can't order the FBI to go Dirty Harry up the Internet if it brings down that damn drug website. That's illegal. Of co

Trying to keep queer people out of acceptable models of life like marriage, having families, and being responsible is a literal attempt to silence and kill them. There is a straight line from homophobia to the effective genocide Reagan comm
