> People aren't cogs Exactly. They are extremely adaptive, capable of learning and doing many things. Sure, not everyone can do everything, but there are also no purpose-built humans capable of only one job.

"Founder" also belongs on this list. Unless you are a 200 year old slaveholder or a shape shifting alien from the Delta Quadrant, of course.

> what happens to everybody else in the state - do their wages go up by $7, or is their labor now worth $7 less because of this? My neighbor having more does not mean I have any less.

It is nice to know I'm not the only one guilty of some of these.

Lol. Not intended at all. I just meant that the quality of the product doesn't impact their nonprofit work. It just needs to make a profit.

I think Mozilla's structure of having a for-profit owned by a nonprofit has a lot of potential. The problem is that the products they are trying to make money from are also the primary vehicles for accomplishing their nonprofit mission

Maybe we need a compulsory license for all kinds of streaming just like we have for radio in US.

When I first came across the site in 2017, all the audio files were in embed tags and they all autoplayed at once. It looks like one of my coworkers "fixed" that in 2019.

A few years ago, the company I work for acquired a small web agency. I was tasked with migrating their client sites to our infrastructure. One of the gems I found was https://www.jubyla.com/ . After a little asking around, I

I didn't mean to suggest that Roblox shouldn't be allowed to sell their product. I only meant that ending the sell of in-game creations would be a good way to stop the kind of scams the article discusses. Plus, skimming a percenta

Why would a game, especially one targeting children, encourage the buying and selling of virtual items? Why not just make all virtual items clonable/sharable by anyone? Instead of teaching children to share, roblox is training a genera

I don't remember the first time I used Slackware. I do remember the first time I used a non-slackware distribution. It was Debian. The first thing I tried to do was install a missing piece of software with `make && make install

It can be fun to play with, but if you need a telephone, you should look elsewhere. It is a coin flip whether an incoming call or SMS will be recieved.

Had Axel Springer won the case, it sounds like it would have become illegal to scribble marginalia, highlight, or otherwise alter the copyrighted content of books I own.

How could any production servers be knocked offline by this. Certainly no one would be so careless as to deploy completely untested third-party code?

> Honestly the project would be better off forked. I agree. It was an irresponsible prank. But Microsoft didn't fork the projects. They hijacked his digital identity on two of their platforms, instead. I find that much disconcerting

United States does rank below the UK in terms of social mobility. The notion that that is because the economic development of the country is "finished" seems weird. https://www3.weforum.org/docs/Global_Social_

They would still be publishers. Just (more) irresponsible publishers. I think the deciding factor should be business model. If you charge for access or place advertising beside the content, you are its publisher.

So, I could require people to pay me for the privilege of sending me an email? Awesome.

They would have sleek, performant products that work exactly as intended. And be out of business. A few years later, folks on HN will be waxing nostalgic and wondering why we can't build things like that anymore.

How could a request from my phone to facebook servers, containing my IP Address and location possibly be "anonymized and aggregated." It aggregates data from _all_ the people using my phone, in my home, on my wifi? Or does the ano
