It's quite a bit more irrational than being an entrepreneur, especially if you've invested so much of your money in bitcoin that living expenses are a "buffer".

that doesn't really make any sense though

Did you read the article? That's exactly what the author says. It's a short article, you can probably read it in 2 or 3 minutes...

Can I ask why you're sticking around? How can a company like this succeed?

Would you mind citing a source for the somewhat counterintuitive claim that likelihood of getting caught weighs more heavily than severity of punishment?

Please don't write comments like this. You're not a grand political philosopher and this isn't the School of Athens. This low brow form of ideological dribble can just as easily be said in the opposite direction, that capital

okay that's fair. I couldn't help being snarky to such a meaningless and simplistic comment.

Yep, the world really is that simple - abolish government and things will get better. It's a shame so many people don't realize how easy it is to fix all of their problems.

Come on, mocking straw men just makes things worse for everyone.

Great comment. If anyone would like to learn more about feminism, I can't recommend highly enough the book "Feminism is for Everybody" by bell hooks. I find a lot of commenters here and on other sites form (strong!) opinions

I was actually referring to the Sandusky scandal and how Paterno knew Sandusky was sexually abusing children and let the legal process die with minimally plausibly deniable effort.

College football, at least, might as well be a minor league. The stars play for two years, abandon their degree, and join the NFL. You'd have to be very naive to think that the athletes at top div 1 programs are true "student-athl

It does seem to be the blind leading the blind much more than in other forums.

It's a little strange how much vitriol that article contains. It's as if the author is just itching for someone to finally put one of those 20-something entrepreneurs who didn't have to climb the corporate ladder for decades

Wait, are you saying that college is too late to learn how to program?

What a meaningless platitude. The world isn't quite as simple as that.

That's only outrageous to Americans who are used to bowing down before the wealthy and worshipping financial success as some sort of moral ideal.

Sounds more like you were both sleep deprived and not up to speed on the material.

Can you give some examples? I'm pretty happy with Spotify, and I've found the Discover tool very useful. I still read music blogs and forums, but Discover finds me about 1 really good, yet-unheard group in every 30 I try. In my ex

ah yes, Russia, the shining example of libertarian utopia.

Am I the only one who thinks it's a little distracting how artificially formal this guy is? Anyway, it's freakin obvious how much easier it is to pull a trigger with only a little hesitation than to get a brick out and beat somebo

It's almost a satire of "hip" startup culture. Almost.

Are you really so lacking in perspective that you don't understand how guns lower the bar of "badly wishing to kill another" significantly?

by thenmar 13y ago
Oh come on, pull your head out of the sand. Guns are a complicated issue, and pretending it's this simple makes you sound like a caricature of an American conservative.

I don't think it's an unreasonable thing to point out. Let's not pretend that there are no problems with sexism in tech. While this may or may not be a good example, literature normalizing that programming is a "boy&#x27

I agree, but there are problems with dressing up a game of "tag" like Counter-Strike in the clothes of violent conflict. The other day a contractor came to my house as I was playing CS:S. He asked if I was in Baghdad. He translate

I think the fear is that it will create animosity by making the information so accessible. On some level, the junior-level dev knows he's not making as much as the guy with the PhD in an esoteric mission critical topic, but he has a ki
