The evidence speaks: it was clearly an extreme and urgent problem to some parties, hence the act is under serious consideration. Shoplifting is not only illegal, but much is dedicated to minimizing it. To claim that SOPA is similar to a dea

For no good reason, a rant: As far as I know, companies are not held legally accountable when their database is illegally accessed and consumer data (passwords and emails) are released to the public. In civil engineering, if a dam fails, th

We may very well see the slow fade of the word 'startup' as we know it. The historical tendency seems to be towards consolidation. The web has been a beautiful chaos for us, but we are already seeing the changes. To name two, SOPA seeks to

This is standard practice to increase the friction of unsubscribing. How many clicks does it take you to logout of Facebook or Google...and see if your grandmother could even figure out how.

It is easy for me to imagine a world that moves from the messy chaos of the web to the clean, self-contained, predictability of the app, and linking would be a mere ancillary concern. Apps are the path of least resistance for the consumer.

Funkah is correct. My comments are a hyperbolic defense of my own very subjective opinion. For anyone who would like to form an opinion of their own here is the link: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3338065

This is my general impression too, though I doubt it's limited to the industry. I am a single father who takes full responsibility for my son every other week. I have since he was born. I don't receive any benefits (formal or not) that are

Of course there's a flipside to this assumption: the weeknight meetings at bars are packed with negligent fathers.

I agree in part. The distinction to me is one's work on open source is generally considered charity, pro bono, representing a fraction of one's total work. Louis C.K. on the other hand, and digitally replicable artists generally, are not pr

Yesterday HN rallied a post on Louis C.K. to the front page - a post which celebrated his deference to the inevitable reproduction of his work, a post which celebrated Louis as a hero for his ignoring this reproduction, for nobly enduring

It is not a replicable model to assume your work will not be reproduced online and to assume you can politely ask someone to remove it if it has been.

Personal respect for the artist notwithstanding, this is not a replicable model for others. He makes it up in volume. This is not a general solution.

A name for a blog is not as critical in terms of memory retention and spellability, most traffic will not come from search but from links.

I would agree with you even if I came up in line behind you. But I would fully expect the majority to find fault in it. And reasonably so. The system is in place and it is multiple queues. The consequence of bucking the system is, at its mo
