The value of everything is determined by markets. Money is no different than other assets in this regard.

The research that comes from this particular UC Berkeley group is frankly terrible. One of the studies to see if rich people break the law was done by seeing if BMW drivers follow …

Dead from a development perspective. I've had the same bug on the android client where voicemails play the first second or so and then stop, requiring me to click play again.

How do they become less representative? The sample groups are exactly representative when they are based on income. e.g. Polling millionaires about their feelings seems pretty repr…

He didn't say it wasn't enough to survive, it's not enough to really save much if you're living somewhere like SF.

The difference you seem to be missing is the actual instances of sexism, which you called out and everyone here is fine with; and, crusades against people like pg, who have never s…

When you run dig @www.facebook.com news.ycombinator.com, it must query the default DNS for www.facebook.com; however, the ISP must return the real IP for www.facebook.com or the HT…

I have the same habit and I've been trying to break it. Seeing the discourse ahead of time really tends to poison your initial impressions when you finally get around to reading it…

Google inexplicably shutting down isn't a realistic option though. The damage to society in unusable email, Android phones, etc would be far worse.

What aren't you getting? The query for Facebooks server may use the ISPs DNS server, but that's not the problem. It's when dig's request is actually sent to that resolved address t…

>you aren't really affected negatively by them doing it. Even if you are fine with your ISP committing fraud, you are negatively effected by the complexity (points of failure) and …

Did you even read his comment? "dig @www.facebook.com news.ycombinator.com" does not use the ISP's DNS servers at all. It sends a DNS query to Facebook for Google, which should nor…

Why do you keep posting this? It's irrelevant because the idea isn't to hide what site you're visiting, it's to prevent the ISP from modifying the DNS responses. Signing DNS respon…

>All you've done is add an additional third party that can view and log what you're doing. You forgot the part where it's protecting against trashy ISPs like the one in this articl…

The alphabet isn't restricted to English. Also, see: punycode.

It didn't happen, so all it takes is your imagination! :-)

Are the workers so stupid that they think shipping empty boxes is normal?

>Even with just names discrimination has been shown to occur at places like universities Source? Also, universities are much different than ycombinator so I'm not sure what point y…

>I dislike the "talking head" approach to serious topics. Similar to your unsubstantiated comment about Ayn Rand?

And you think you would survive by doing nothing and letting them take control of the cockpit?

Do you not think someone would spot them sawing the door open? Also keep in mind that pilots are FLYING THE AIRPLANE. They can just start to do maneuvers that would make it impossi…

>1.)The fact the female founders are asking for this, tells you that they don't feel on par with the way things are being done today. How many are asking for this? Where are your s…

They would be a laughingstock if they did implement a voice adjuster. It makes it appear that rampant sexism is such a problem that they have to implement protection against it.

That's probably related to the user base of scale being orders of magnitude smaller. The network externalities of a large language user base give it incredible inertia that makes i…
