I'm confused by the relationship. Don't the publishers own the journals? What rights are the getting from the academic societies? Please excuse my ignorance. :)

Just because there isn't a free speech argument doesn't mean a communication company would benefit by going on a politically driven "banfest". >Americans LOVE to pretend like they are morally superior, but the moral c

What do you mean by "bloat is on the mobile side"?.

Lately I've been noticing this with Facebook. It is interesting that in its early stages, my perception of Facebook was that it was a very well built site. It seemed simple, clean, loaded fast, etc. It seemed particularly lean when com

I don't understand how you are relating this to the tragedy of the commons other than saying that because something has a reason it doesn't preclude it from being something.

I'm sure I am more consciously aware of the bloat but I do think that subconsciously "non-techy" people still dislike it. I feel like this is similar to the apple vs microsoft/IBM debates. I'm not even sure what the

Why is that doubtful? There's all kinds of examples of tiered subscriptions in the world. I think it would be doubtful because the NYT wouldn't want to explicitly admit all the tracking they are doing.

What do you mean by "validate it"?

Don't worry, they will eventually regulate that too.

On what do you base your opinion that the "general population is completely unaware?"

Why does it require people to understand what is happening to increase or reduce price inflation?

by wuliwong 8y ago
I agree. I think it's just normal, human self-centeredness. Because it's easy to them it's easy. I work with 95% non-technical people. They aren't going to tackle the problem of IRC persistence on mobile devices when the

I don't think I've ever used HipChat. What don't you guys like about it?

I think it's far less about marketing and more about lowering the barrier to entry. I work at a real estate company. They were using Slack before I got here and did not have a single technical person on staff. This company would have n

I think that many people believe bitcoin is anonymous. But in my experience, privacy has always seemed to be high up on the list of reasons for cryptocurrencies.

You could have vocals on 0%, of the song, 10%, 50%, 95%. It seems pretty easy to imagine a making up a continuous value called 'instrumentalness' to help describe a song.

I think that going through this program and receiving $10K of equity free funding would substantially increase the chances of a company sticking with YC.

I'm a little unclear on how they found this database and why it was left without security. It sounds like there is some well known vulnerabilities with older versions of Mongo and these people did some security audits where they found

>it merely replaces a government not actually formed by the will of the people I'm confused by this statement. What do you mean "not actually formed by the will of the people"?

by wuliwong 8y ago
Sure, but that wasn't my point. I was rebutting your statement. I was not saying what would or would not be nice. Honestly, I have a completely different read on the content of the comments on this page. I think you are going out of yo

It is #8 on that list if you sort by homicide rate though. I'm not saying that makes OP's comment accurate as they did just say "higher crime" and not specifically homicide rate. But I do believe that blending murder rat
