Sure, but let’s remember that copyright enforcement requires work. Are you going to be the one who goes from car to car, peeling off illegal images of Calvin and Hobbes? Out of the kindness of your heart? How’s that battle going to work out

Generalizations aside though, you can have a comment removed from HN by the mods if the request is found to be reasonable (i.e. unintentionally disclosing medical history, etc).

When you say that "one should be in control of his/her contributions"... you realize that you are "publishing" these contributions, right? I understand where you're coming from in wanting that control, but I wo

Very similar to the issue I suffer from. If I overhear co-workers discussing a problem within my domain, my brain just goes right on ahead without me and starts chipping away at it. After a few minutes I might find myself staring blankly at

Someone should go back in time to inform DaVinci to make sure he refrains from all of that not-engineering work. It’s easy for people to forget that the engineering came first. The students came after. You can argue the point all day, but i

As opposed to the world that freely admits, “yeah, this sucks.”

Good point. What are people going to do when they’re sitting in their autonomous vehicles? Probably a great time to display an ad for the week’s best selling AR game.

I’ve largely disconnected from email, both work and personal. I guess one day I just smelled another internal phishing campaign and decided that it would be the last I participated in. After that I informed my bosses that if they needed to

Sounds about as friendly as the time I drove the Dalton Highway from Fairbanks, Alaska on a whim towards the Arctic Circle. Many times along the journey I was terrified that my 1996 Eagle Talon would get stuck in the gigantic mud ruts dug o

I guess I'll take the bait... why bother putting on the disingenuous facade of pretending like it's DevOps fault when you almost immediately go on to admit that the issue is product management? I feel like someone just told me a r

That sounds like a job that you would find at pretty much any mobile gaming company with a free-to-play model. Don’t get me wrong, Facebook has had some pretty gross practices over the years, but it doesn’t exactly rot your teeth and make y

Or perhaps a more realistic scenario, when ISP customers aren’t able to access their paid services reliably and start dropping off en mass because they refuse to be held under the gun, how would the “big guns” react? edit: spelled “held” as

I’m going to tread lightly here because I’m not intimately familiar with the full details of NN, but assuming that big bad ISP starts making life difficult for large tech companies by charging them premiums (and please correct me if this is

While the robot masters may have won the intellectual battle, we can at least feel safe that they completely lack our vibrant culture and quaint charm. Worst case scenario, we'll have jobs being human furniture (snacks and whatnot on o

In this thread alone you've already expended more energy than it would have taken to just do the right thing with your blog.

Whether we like it or not, we are all gardeners. When you are young you won’t be able to see much of your garden, because it will take some time to bloom. Once it does take root though, you may find that you measure your success less in the

The last leg for me was TLS MiTM as an antivirus service. And so I don't use 3rd party antivirus on systems that I care about. I do use active firewalls and connection monitoring though, and I only install software that I've purch

As I've grown older, I've come to find peace in letting go of semantics. Is it a dwarf planet, or is it a planet? I'm content simply pointing at the things that I recognize and saying, "There is that thing. Whatever the

It's not the wanting to know part that makes someone seem entitled. It's the way they go about obtaining the answers to the questions they want to know. Dealing with humans sometimes requires tact, regardless of what you have to b
