   I was also uninterested very early in the article, and I tend to have a comparatively long attention span.

   I often observe the same thing. I consider myself the lowest of the low, and even I am disappointed by 9/10 HN posts hiding their valuable comments (they do exist) far below the first thing that I see on my web browser. Self-indulgent comme

   This is precisely the reason. I was going to answer that question in a separate comment until I noticed yours. You receive points for an objectively correct answer.

   Hold on for a second. Why is this the first thing I see? Is it because other people read "I was in a long-distance rela..." and continued to read, then clicking the little arrow next to the post? Please tell me that isn't how that works.

   My post was a little more geared towards disputing that the work relationship is doomed if the customer and developer can't trust each other. I had no intention of endorsing a time bomb approach, but just continued on that theme theoretical

   Yes, and supposedly "any publicity is good publicity." Let's not assume there's a lesson to be learned at all unless we know how it affects Tesla's bottom line.

   So let's say that the customer always pays on time and the developer did build this sort of time bomb. (And let's assume no technical knowledge on the part of the customer. Therefore, the time bomb is never discovered.) Are you saying that

   I'd be a little worried about introducing the term "sausage party" to my eight year old anything who clearly has a working knowledge of electronics. It seems like it'd be a very dangerous thing to search.

    That's good marketing for database connections.

    Could you provide a link for more information about those mushrooms? I like thinking about those natural anomalies that you know some brilliant mind will attempt to mimic with technology, and that is one function that could have serious pot

    Need aside, I want most things I buy to last a lifetime. Exceptions are for things like food and toilet paper.

    I'd like to believe that we all experience a weak Overview Effect from time to time. It's often a friend of existential nihilism. But to have your entire life add up to a powerful case of that realization must be an extremely emotional exp

    I feel like the distinction between formal and informal fallacies negates the assertion that "tu quoque" would be in an incorrect context here. I may definitely be wrong but that's my current understanding.

    I would suggest not attributing the phrase "What would x do?" to anyone or anything in particular, as it is in no way a directly deifying phrase. There is a possibility that the other comments gesture towards the same thing (if read to), bu

    So I read a little bit more about Open Secrets on their website, and they spare no detail in explaining what their data is used for. But does it say anywhere how they get their data? If so, could someone kindly point it out for me? I woul

    Yes. A public apology in this case is just more insulting. It would be an open acknowledgement of the fact that a government can do whatever it wants without any consequences.

    I'm always a big fan of terms like "backwards racism" and "reverse discrimination."

    I think that every time I hear him or read about him. It's astonishing and inspiring to see someone so successful have such an optimal perspective. And beyond that, he acts on it on a very large scale!

    I never thought I'd actually make a HN username. But Mario and Zelda are both games where a man saves a princess by killing everything in his way.
