While I dont agreed that all software used by the government needs to be open source and it strikes me that certain software needs to be more than proprietary even top secret. I do agree with the notion that software used to incriminate or

If thier project is an inspiration and you did not credit them then in my opinion that is a bit of an ethical problem. The other thing that comes to mind for me is that if you were inspired by their project why to contribute to it rather th

Pay your employees a proper amount and include it in the upfront price. Tipping is a recognition of unexpectedly good service and "pre-tipping" is ludicrous. Telling people that without a pre-tip you will get bad service is extort

"Even if you drive your car every day, its battery will die and you won't be able to start it." How do you figure this? Seems unlikely to me that a 15 min drive would not bring a car batter drained my occasional failed phon

Yes. Though it seems common practice to "discount", I use that term lightly, the thing then make up the difference by charging outsized amounts for the refills. What ever those are be they ink or coffee cups or games. Hell even lu

It is hard to say from one example, but I have no issue with someone suggesting/demanding more meaningful names. Is sock vs socket a deal breaker, no of course not but the latter is more than "just two exte letters" in my opi

I dislike that I can't get a manual transmission in my car anymore. I don't want an automatic. Perhaps you want one but I don't. I listed what I like and don't like and you are free to list what you like and don't l

While I dont disagree that what is happening is important or newsworthy and I did not nor will I flag this, this topic is none the less not something I feel is appropriate on hacker news. There are plenty of other venues to talk about world

Why do you feel this is an ad rather than noting something odd? If it's an ad I'm all for nuking it but I admit being intrigued about the out building details.

Off the top of my head: Why doesn't every car: - stop collecting and reporting my data to the manufacturer - offer full diagnostic readouts of trouble codes - come with one or more docking bays to mount and wireless charge phones - com

I'm disappointed that an extreme segment of the Republicans did this but even more disappointed that Democrats could not come to the table to support him.

I get served shorts that are essentially soft core porn on a regular basis. Featuring yoga poses, back lit crotch shots, and women wearing electrical tape on the cat walk. I cant seem to make them stop no matter what I do. Probably because

How many rich people went to jail for Enron, how many for the savings and loan crisis? How can anyone go to jail for drugs when none of the Sacklers have?

When I was young, I thought "freedom of speech" meant that the government should not stop you from saying things that were true or that you believed to be true that they did not like. The kind of free speech we talk about when we

For some things, no age is "too soon". Typically this would be for certain competitive sports programs. If a child waits until grade 9 to pick up a sport they are going to be well behind the curve. Typically though for most kids g

I see it as a game that many feel is or justifiably should be as a fair one but like so many other things in life is not in fact fair. Sometimes we see the injustice clearly such as when a affluent person evades jailtime for the same crime

Yes, it sucks and is not fair. Elite college admissions is not a level playing field and that is not fair. Basically, this is at the heart of what recent law suits seek to address. In fact, I believe a few years back, uPenn turned down like
