It's sad reading people cheering their own exploitation. But I'd expect nothing less from HN.

You sure packed a lot of liberal slurs in a really small and useless comment.

I know you couldn't resist injecting an anti-car barb in there but it makes no sense - the problem in the US isn't our "abusive relationship" with cars, it's insufficient infrastru…

Of course you can. It just isn't legal for most people.

In addition to what someone else who replied to you said about number of games, I also was listening to something recently talking about how much energy had to go into building one…

I'm developing a theory that America's thoughts on what technology is capable of swings wildly between two poles (possibly with every generation?): A strong luddite streak that poo…

I think you might misunderstand the statistic. He's saying one out of every 70 deaths. If there were only 70 deaths a year, one would be from a car accident. Far more would be from…

I'm your age and to draw comparisons between the fear of Japan and the real threat of globalization is laughable.

I love suburbs. They get lots of hate here but I'd take one over a city in a heartbeat. I like doing things that require garages and back yards and sheds.

Okay replace slavery with indentured servitude. Does that sound any better?

I did and think the reply's tone was perfectly reasonable given the parent comment's dismissiveness. Yeah I do like interacting with people. Even "minimum wage workers" who last ti…

But one is venture-funded, the other warchest-funded. That is not equal footing; the pools of money are not infinite and Uber's is both shallower and far less ensured.

You make punching other people in the face for screaming crowds sound so noble. It's not.

I think about how recently and spectacularly housing has gone off the rails and I get so sad. What a complete disaster this is turning into.

Most of the POTS system is fiber and has been for some time. The "sorry copper POTS network" enabled the future through any number of amazing technologies up to and including SS7 a…

One is forward-looking, predicting the outcome (winning) by looking at current data (objective comparison). The article tries to twist this around to be backwards-looking: if it wo…

Sure that's fine. Economics still isn't science, even by the relaxed definition.

Just what we all begged for: More whitespace, less content. Thanks Google, we can always count on you.

Because Apple is about as done as it can be with general purpose computing. I think it's safe to say they will make no more significant investments in it. Closed ecosystem computin…

Or as the article points out you can just not go to college at all.

What bearing does a private company's privacy policy have on warrants? I think I see what you're getting at but what a private company consider warrant-worthy or not is irrelevant …
