Alternatively, not all voters are one issue voters. If she has done amazing things in the state and misguidedly pressed hard on Aaron, perhaps she should be judged by her whole record. Given, I don't know much about it so I could be complet

No that is the highest comment because people don't have a clue about the actual court case. Your strawman comparisons are nonsense.

Let's not forget "Ignore the fact that we are using drones to kill families in other countries without declaring war and denying US citizens the right to a trial by holding them indefinitely"

I think that what they accomplished is amazing, but remember that their goals were very different than your typical business. Their goals were to create something in a short amount of time with a really random group of people given a fairl

What? Everyone starts out an atheist. There can't be a wrong reason to be an atheist because its the default setting on the human.

Not only that but the actual trespassing charge was dropped. So it wasn't even part of the case!

look I like lisp as much as the next guy, but you can "spend two hours" reading java code, write a unit test; eval said test and then woohoo! You can do that in basically any modern language. And your first example is something that most mo

I'm no ruby wizard but there are things like wordpress built on top of rails. monologue, enki, jekyll, etc so you give a false dichotomy

I think the point the article is trying to make is that they would make more money if they didn't price out most (perceived) buyers.

Comments are for why, code is for how. Why is the counter < 5 or the balance >=0? Comments explain why your assertions are reality. Not every assertion is going to be as obvious as "balances have to be positive". If I had a dollar

the black dots are just activated carbon (the filter) that escapes after the filter starts to break down. What is wrong with your tap water that you feel you can't drink it? I only filter mine because the water near me comes out with a pret

I think the usual analogy is one of a private space. Youtube is Google's private pool that is nominally open to the public. If you break their rules, you get thrown out.

Both Wonderwoman and Kusanagi are women designed by men. They are literally characters designed by men that dictate their views on how women should be. Even if they are relatively positive, they are still men transmitting their thoughts on

This happens all the time. They go through the proper DMCA process (which google obeys) and then correctly register with ContentID (theory). In reality, the big publishers stomp all over little guys and they have no standing to do anything

by theevocater 14y ago
I think the reason is that their system is not DMCA. They respect the DMCA but also provide a stronger (for the rightsholders) service that was triggered here. ContentID makes them judge, jury and executioner.

Are there any German's on HN who could speak to useful resources for this guy? Even in the US one could get foodstamps, welfare, medicaid so I have a hard time believing that Germany doesn't provide some sort of social net. Does anyone know

All I was trying to point out is that she probably feels that she "understands the issue". A good lobbyist can spin a great tale of woe for how our system is protecting artists or how patents will help with innovation or what not. Lobbying

It is likely that she/her office felt that they did understand the issue. Most people are not tech people and her only inputs were probably executives/lobbyists looking to strengthen copyright. I'm all for lobbying to make sure more congre

If you are in CA, I'm not sure that voting against Feinstein will help you. Emken doesn't seem to have many real positions and her website is lacking in any real substance of her stance on issues. She has a lot of platitudes but it seems

If you can't compete you lose. If someone can do it for free rethink your business model. Why should people not release things simply because other people are unable to compete? Plus, both of these rely on the free (as in beer) service tw
