Serious question. At what point do you think the public truly hits a tipping point and lashes back at the government? Or are we just going to sit unorganized and go back to our facebook and nightly entertainment. Personally I think it will

Has Valve come out against Oculus for taking Abrash and others? I haven't heard anything but was curious what the story was there since Valve had been working with Oculus very closely.

Might just be me, but gumrouad's website offers me no help in trying to make a decision. I'd like to see the actual checkout process and what it looks like but it keeps giving me a signup page.

I'd argue you are smart enough to give a good reply. You've given your reference material as well (which I should have done previously). You are reading and engaging in Hacker News topics, this means you are way above the "av

This is incorrect. Mozilla fought the DRM implementation more than any other browser. They were at the point where they unfortunately had to implement it, otherwise their user base wouldn't be able to access services like netflix etc.

Valve has stated they want to bring the community closer together for buying/selling/trading of goods. I would expect they would make their money that way. I doubt they would dump DirectX completely. They've reworked the engi

In my eyes, this paints Apple as just another "big company" making acquisitions that don't make sense. Maybe they are going to bundle all ipods with beats...? Not sure where they are going with this unless it's for the m

I'm surprised we haven't heard anything from Valve lately. Epic and Crytek have both released their engines for absurdly cheap rates and been gathering a lot of steam around their platforms. Valve is known for their community inte

Except DuckDuckGo doesn't hold that information in the first place [1]. So a request by the government for information on a user will have very little information. [1] - https://duckduckgo.com/privacy

I'm not the parent commentator but here is my 2 cents and questions. Note: I'm currently experimenting with Heroku for a side project app and I've used AWS before. I'm a "cloud computing" newbie when it comes t

"But it's a drop in the bucket even if it were that much of a savings." Yes, everything is a drop in the bucket when looking at the Federal bugdet and the current debt of 17.5 trillion [1]. However, a 14 year old kid has a we

I'm a bit to young to have been driving the original mustangs but I am a Ford guy. If I were to get a mustang it would have to be manual no doubt. The 302 Boss has always appealed to me. I typically don't buy flashy stuff but in t

I'm curious. What's the website? How'd you reach that audience? Short story?

So if you are a mustang nerd I have a question for you. Your choice of any mustang, year/color/trim/engine etc. Which one do you pick and why?

Ahh so this same explanation could be used for why you can't swing yourself up and over a swing set bar? Unless you go mythbusters style and use rockets? [1] - http://youtu.be/torrlSW6VnA

Have you tried making any graff? If not I highly suggest it! I made a batch and it turned out to be arguably my best homebrew yet. Currently making a blueberry graff now and mead kit should be delivered today. Any recipes you have shared on
