It's not about surfacing organic human content, it's about only indexing organic human content. The problem is automated indexing. So long as indexing works according to defined rules, the advantage will be to those able to shape

I have a big whiteboard on the wall and write my to-dos on there. Being big and in the open is important--if you can hide away the task list, it won't be effective. It needs to hang over you, literally. You need to be able to see it •u

Two primary reasons: 1. Ruby is a very flexible language, and that has its ups and downs. While it makes it a very pleasurable easily modifiable syntax, it also leaves a lot of room for bad patterns. Ruby won't judge someone for taking

The GP is saying "I miss the days where I could easily exploit people" and the response was "I miss the days where we respected each other enough to not exploit each other". It wasn't naive or irresponsible, but ref

What's your implication here? That non-owners are lesser and therefor should bend to the wants of the owner? That only owners have a right to the lifestyle they want?

In addition to being informative, this reminded me of how good journalism is written and structured. Thanks for the link!

Perhaps, but without any actual statistics or expert claims to back it up, this doesn't seem to me a sound rationale against which to take risks with our health.

I think the attitude might be that we should prohibit and punish the behaviors, not the source. If someone is being belligerent or otherwise disruptive in a public space, whether or not they're drinking alcohol should not be a factor.

In what way? I'd be curious to understand what it is you value about them, but your post reads more like marketing than a satisfied customer story.

I think the point of the post above is that if a company faces a death-or-lie scenario, they're incentivized to put as much effort as possible into covering things up. Whereas if there's some leniency, they're more incentiviz

I didn't see the judge's response, so no. Though another commenter here mentioned it was the plaintiff that called for these people as expert witnesses (another fact I missed), which is also relevant. And I agree with the judge&#x

They're testifying as expert witnesses, being brought in to be informative to the jury, not as first-hand witnesses to the law suit matter. In theory such experts should be objective and not have a bias towards either defendant or the

Since the law suit is against the state, and as state school professors they are paid by the state and are employees of the state, it's somewhat reasonable to see a conflict of interest for them to testify when the defendant is their e

The funny thing is, most of those HN threads have a top comment with a link to an archived/visible copy of the article, making it easier to access that link than if found in other places. Other than that, HN articles are upvoted to the

It's not that there's one less tool. It's that the tool given to begin with was wrong for that purpose, and instead of leveraging the technology in beneficial ways, they're removing it. They could have implemented in the

My take away is that they have a great system which allowed for voices to be heard, perspectives to be presented, and for an ultimate decision made in the best interest of Debian users. Doesn't seem a waste of time to me.

I don't think it's that simple. There's a lot involved in switch carriers, and it's worth taking the time to cool down from the initial frustration and evaluate your options more objectively.

I don't think I'm reading too much into it. There is a big difference between these two sentiments: > If you live in NYC > If you insist on living in NYC for any reason
