I appreciate your comment. Yeah, it's sincere and rambling, but at least it's an interesting slice of a stranger's life. HN can't or won't enjoy something like this.

I know what's up. That why I made the comment. It's more about what is said than the actual content of the statement itself. If I did the above, and someone made a stink, I'd hit 'em with "Are you denying my live

Just exploit the identity-political zeitgeist that's overtaken universities lately: claim yourself genderqueer, non-binary presenting as male. With the right incantation, the organizers will fold like a house of cards, lest they suffer

We tech workers can really take the keys to the kingdom, if we want. In fact, I don't think any group of people has had access to so much potential power as an industry ever in human history. Of course, the first part (and hardest) to

While state/referential transparency/immutability are important (and great features), they're more associated with pure FP. Purity is not a necessary precondition for a language to be classed as "functional". I&#x27

Yeah, reading that just made me sad. That's some next level everything-that-can-be-done-in-life-has-to-have-some-monetary-ROI-on-it, kind of bullshit.

This is more of a historical survey of the idea UBI than a mediation on why it's good/bad thing. I get the arguments he makes from the perspective of the revolutionary Left. They are, however, not interesting or really acknowledgi

What can I say about this article? I recently moved here, like many other people in tech. I didn't come for the draw of nature--which I love--but for a higher paying job and a chance to escape a poor, decaying, east coast city that inc

Great, you cite Joel Spolsky. Good for you. But you didn't address a single point that I brought up beforehand. The original point, if I recall, was that mechanical labor will, at some point in the future be capable of performing the labor

When you say: > "This will create wealth. Wealth will mean that art, health and relaxation will be in high demand." Yes, I agree to an extent. But I must ask, wealth for who? Certainty not for the people no longer employed in the jobs t

I should clarify. My emphasis should have been on issues of power, rather than size. Governments happen to be large institutions for sure, but the power to realize a breakup of monopolistic practice lies in the fact that the government poss

As it stands, only an entity as large and powerful as the government is capable of busting up said combines, cartels, and monopolies. My question is this: if officials at all levels of government are working in collusion with big-business,

I can vouch for Philadelphia. I live right across the river from it. The city itself is really is a hole. There is rampant crime and the infrastructure is literally crumbling. North Philadelphia, is essentially a war-zone, and across the ri

There is a definite wrong when one group directly benefits materially from the exploitation of another, no matter how you spin it. The practice of rape, pillage and plunder is without a doubt a bad thing.
