You know, if you write all your arguments in capslock they will be even more persuasive. There is no homogenous group of "capitalists". Many regulations are the product of collective wishes of 99% and its absurd to blame some non-

Shame on you for not getting your priorities straight and putting your family first! Not really. I am only saying this because I've seen you shaming someone in other thread and wanted to show you a first-hand example that shaming is ba

Every second thousands of much more disgusting things happen all around the Earth. You should thus never consume any media because the truth about the billions whose basic needs aren't satisfied show through various facets of human lif

That is actually a problem in trying to introduce someone to coding. First attempt frequently is experienced as boring and/or too complex. It would be absolutely wonderful to have several standard entry points to programming for variou

We need to have user-generated labels attached to comments: sarcastic, flamebait, domain expert, etc. And then go even more meta and have algorithmically and/or privileged users affirm the label. Lets throw in some labels for common co

Thanks for this comment, nostromo. You've managed to address privacy problems with the Linkedin Intro while praising the technical solution. This is a great example of constructive criticism that I, for one, would like to see more on H

I don't get this attitude towards commercial Google products. You are a paying customer that is very likely to use other Google cloud services. It would be stupid to annoy a large subset of the paying customers by not providing a clear
