Find it funny that you mention Fox News as biased. I find the other big three (CNN, NBC, ABC) unreadable/unwatchable, while Fox News is kind of OK. I prefer RT to any of them, though.

Trump supporter here. Unfortunately not a citizen, so I couldn't vote. I believe, as do many people in the world, that US Presidential Election is worth following due to the influence that USA has on the rest of the world. You are righ

He should have done that. There is absolutely no reason why other people should pay for someone's abortions.

No, what you are saying is simply unfunny.

This is simply untrue. Ayn Rand doesn't speak about international free trade in Atlas Shrugged, as the rest of the developed world in her story turns into People's States. She did support international free trade, but not "fr

I believe you are mistaken and giving them a too easy pass. They have improved, but not by much: [1] http://www.infoworld.com/article/2841412/open-source-softwar... [2] https://nudgedelastic.band/2

He just says that he won't do it and explains why you should not either. That's hardly limiting you from doing anything. Even though I don't agree with his position (I fit in the "I don't care if it works on Windows

Well, I consider it perfectly fine and in line of what one can expect from FOSS. I develop what I want to develop, and you develop what you want. If we can collaborate, great, if not, we create separate projects.

Hardly. This attitude is very rare among FOSS devs, the more common one being "I don't care if it works on Windows or not, as I don't use it; if you are willing to make it work on Windows with in way that does not make codeba

Very happy to see Octave move forward. Few years ago my colleagues at the university complained about Octave not being on par with MATLAB performance-wise, has this improved since?

Some libertarians do not accept the so-called "intellectual property" as a valid form of property, e.g. Kinsella [1, 2]. It's a debatable topic. [1] https://fee.org/resources/intellectual-property-versus-

That's a very good point. I love seeing how many people on HN assume that, if everyone had access to the knowledge they have, everyone would vote D. Which isn't true and which is precisely the reason why R won. Furthermore, Pew Re

I find Falkvinge's libertarianism[1, 2] much more compatible with the idea of a pirate party than direct democracy; democracy can outvote individual freedom and create a majority rule over an individual[3]. Other pirate parties are a g

When you make a statement like this, you should also mention which company you are managing the hiring process for so people who disagree with these anti-meritocratic and anti-freedom measures know where not to apply. Saves everybody's
