That's not what a strawman is. Sure, YouTube deserves the money. They should find a more reliable way than third party advertisements to get the money. Advertisers pay content creators money directly to feature sponsored ad-reads on th

Is getting up and going to pee during an ad break the same as piracy? Do I steal half the content if I close my eyes during the ad? What about muting and switching tabs? Do I pay with my inconvenience if I do it manually? Is this just about

Not doing any leg-pulling. The passage you quoted is the following: > Hacker News is awesome. It is probably my number one RSS feed right now. But it's getting too big. They've crossed the line that reddit crossed a long time a

Because you quoted a passage with about 5 statements that he could have been "wrong" about, and didn't specify which one you were talking about. (insert snarky emoticon here)

Another thing that bothers me is how people brush off improper belaying technique when the pro climbers do it. There are numerous videos of Adam Ondra, Dave Graham, etc just belaying with their hand off the brake strand, or their finger ful

It's not a meta exclusive. Not sure why there's so many comments assuming that it is, it's one google search away.

What is this? Just because you stopped finding friends after getting married doesn't mean that if she finds new friends it means any disrespect to you. Just because someone gets married doesn't mean they have to start depending on

You can search for public servers in the Discord app by keyword, but not for specific posts across all servers. It's more comparable to Reddit but without the frontpage, or structured posts.

As others have said, Worms is turn based while this is real-time action. What it actually really reminds me of is Duck Game[0]. [0] https://store.steampowered.com/app/312530/Duck_Game/

Well, Tunic is based around old school Zelda, and given your self-reported bias, that makes sense!

No, GP was just saying we should give Dropbox the benefit of the doubt, because Dropbox understands the product strategy more than any of us do. Including GP.

What do you mean their (developers') bottom line wouldn't be affected? Their revenue from iOS would go to 0. They would definitely jump ship, and users would follow. If you think Apple could do increase their fees to 100% without

You are not the authority on what counts as an "artform of its own". I agree with your last statement though.

This was in response to your comment about how you can tell that a water simulation is fake by trying to dip a water bottle in there. The distinction between chemical and silicon doesn't matter when the output is text. There's no

Your original comment didn't talk about ethics or morals, but was talking about intelligence being its own great filter. More intelligent AI consuming us could be unethical and immoral in your view, but it would still be intelligence s

What I gathered from the post was that it was more of a challenge to see how OP would do without any sort of stimulation. I think that's the fundamental difference here, OP's experiment is an extreme, where you go to no stimulatio
