I'm saying the author(s) of this piece shouldn't pass off their speculation, correct or not, as fact. Heck, my speculation is that the reason this article does overstate the case is to work readers up for more donations, but tha

Oops, what I had in mind when I wrote the comment was the expense of hosting a vast repository of videos (eg: Youtube, Vimeo, Twitch, etc). I didn't mean the modest cost of an individual just serving their own content.

It's a shame that nobody but Youtube can afford to host videos at a loss year after year. I could vent for an hour about why I dislike the company: they are a privacy abomination; their moderation is incompetent; the way they monetize

From a truly neutral article, you would learn why, on a whole variety of issues, conservatives believe one thing, while progressives believe another thing. And then you would be able to make up your own mind. If there is widespread

Only in theory. In practice, the new document paradigm often resulted in users accidentally overwriting their work. It didn't help that Lion was also the buggiest OS Apple has ever released.

It would be very nice if the thieves are kind-hearted, gentle people themselves. On account of they have enough money to fund a militia and invade a small country now.

Thanks, the entire thread makes more sense! I want to avoid sounding any more opinionated about sports medicine than I already do, since it's not a subject in which I have any expertise. That said, when I consider that a 'mens&#

Not that I made an argument for using weight alone, but it depends on the sport in any event. To avoid injuries, the physical attributes that matter to billiards differ from those that matter to rugby.

That tweet addresses solely weight, but I'm not arguing for categories based solely on weight.

To each their own. To me, the comparison is too ridiculous to entertain but granted I have never been to North Korea. In any event I have no illusions that I can change anyone's mind about anything online.

sports has everything to do with sex and nothing to do with gender Dividing by sex is a substitute for dividing by the things that really matter: height, weight, strength, bone density, etc. If sports grouped competitors by a com

It reminds me of the first home computers in the late 1970s. The product is not yet very useful, but attractive because home products like it soon will be.

This is almost certainly fan fiction. The behavior (eg: Jobs' purported focus on himself — 'was it because I was being rude?' — instead of Apple or the industry) seems very out-of-character.

Well, I want strong moderation, and I don't believe so-called 'filter bubbles' are inherently evil. HN suits me better than any other place online. I'm not even convinced that most people who complain about HN's r

1) Within the next decade millions of people will own Google and Apple glasses. 2) If you have a face, strangers will be able to instantly identify you with their glasses. 3) Private information leaks more and more frequently to the public.

That does clearly imply that Mozilla recommends it too, but the phrasing the article uses (ie: 'Additionally, Chaslot recommends') is noncommittal. The impression the full article gives me is that its purpose is to raise awarene
