I think first and foremost - relax. You are ignoring severity of misogyny, and instead referring to number of misogynists. Correct? I'm saying, magazine (female or male) editors ar…

When you say "today's world" I think you mean "today's U.S.A"... The rest of the world, doesn't seem to have as crazy anti-hacking laws, as the US.

There are countries where woman cannot choose who they marry. Where woman are beaten, Where woman are not allow outside on their own, where woman earn double digit percentages less…

... so you might of (very badly) shown that some woman are mildly mysoginist (if even that)... How do you get "worst mysoginists" and "often" out of that?

Javascript is the only language you can run on the browser (Dart doesn't change that). So if Javascript is "GOTO" then dart is: "function NotGoTo() { GOTO; }"

What are you talking about? Please clarify your position.

How about we break the whole world into false dichotomies. What's more important, saving children or commenting on HN? Choice made (Commenting on HN), you wrote that comment, rathe…

> (unless you changed the default config). Lamest argument ever... Are you suggesting that the majority of postgres (say) installs are running default config with no changes? Or ev…

In Australia, they have a similar 'Rememberence Day' as well as a bigger "ANZAC Day". In the ANZAC instance, they pay respect to all sides of the specific conflicts (Gallipoli bein…

So people who bought iphones and macs just didn't understand the options available to them through linux? I seriously doubt that premise.

But then how do we know you aren't just making this statement up?

I didn't say they had to paid based on output... my objection was the capitalist shouldn't be given ALL their surplus value. Perhaps their surplus value should be shared amongst al…

So you have a new name for a communist country... That doesn't change the fact the old one exists still... So I can say: America isn't a democracy, because it's an oligarchy. (This…

State capitalism... you really want to go down the rabbit hole of language semantics. So it's capitalism where all the money goes to the state, which is the government, which is th…

Except the largest country (by population) in the world is a product of that line of thinking.. So where is the "internal turmoil brings it down" happening?

No, the preferences can be controlled (marketing), or even forced (addiction). No one ever thought "I need coca-cola", it was a created "want" invented purely through marketing and…

> If you guys think that machines are going to decrease our standard of living-- that the separation of (production value)/wages is going to cause poverty No we don't. We just have…

... you moved the goal posts significantly. We aren't talking about whether the internet has a positive effect on society or the economy. We are talking about uplifting the poor. W…

You are confusing the meaning of life. Not the some of their experience, but the beating of their heart. Life is equal, the world over.

Show me the (at the very least) the correlation between internet access and social mobility. You may help educate some people, though the data says educational outcome is more corr…

wow. So because you'll never see it, it isn't a problem. You getting cheap/free internet is more important than millions of people dying [1]... [1] http://www.who.int/features/fact…

> Our goal is to help everyone achieve a better life, right? No, I don't think it is. I don't think there is a collective goal that everyone subscribes to. As my earlier point poin…

Why are they more valuable? You are saying they are more valuable because they provide more technological advancement. I guess my question is: Why are you trying to measure the 'va…

There is more than enough money and resources to go around. It isn't a supply problem. We have heaps of everything. So being able to synthesise it wouldn't change that fact. The pr…

Some technology does uplift the poor, but not always, and not all technologies. Baloons giving internet access to people, doesn't seem to have an obvious uplifting effect on the po…
