I was hellbanned some months ago for using the words "fucking idiot" to describe some fucking idiot who comes to HN almost exclusively to grind the axe of feminism. This was around…

>Second, Japanese architecture is interesting, no building is ugly, both the modern ones (like the waterfront building that did not got smashed) and old ones (the traditional-looki…

If the Facebook app on Android is any indication of build quality, I will not consider buying this phone.

Thank you, rachelbythebay, for hijacking what could have been an interesting discussion about cold war tech, with your stupid fucking semantic feminist bullshit. As you continue yo…

You misunderstand the purpose of voting. It's not so that the people can choose the government they are subject to (that would be nice, but in practice it's difficult or impossible…

Tell that to the executive (and Congress, for that matter). they could use a good chuckle.

Even US citizens traveling outside the country, and especially residing outside the country, are on thin fucking ice. No, the US government does not consider itself beholden to any…

How important that point is depends on how much range affects viability as opposed to the cost of the vehicle itself. Electric cars are rather expensive I guess, but few people are…

But, then they can't push their agenda with loaded language! Did you consider that?

Everybody knows diamonds are worthless rocks priced in blood. The reason they retain the status they have is your girlfriend doesn't give a shit.

Eh, that quote from a year ago isn't entirely clear on how they will look for a new job. I'm sure if the implications of the AI behavior were clear then, there would have been at l…

Haven't they been been posting pretty shitty quarterly statements for a few years now? They have a lot of money in the bank, so to speak, I'm sure, but it will catch up with them e…

There is definitely a cost but it's hard to calculate so it gets ignored. Certainly the rise of indie game developers has been aided in part by the continuing fuck-ups of AAA publi…

I upvoted this. Yes, if :-)

Large corporations are rarely driven by profit, but rather petty political bullshit and personal crusades.

Because if your whole idea of what civilization is, is a bunch of bullshit rules enforced under the threat of violence, then I find it hard to imagine you're anything but an anarch…

They knew exactly how many users to expect, I'm sure. But you aren't going to pay for a solution to handle all of them when you expect the demand to taper off after a few days.

Do you think you would fare well under an anarchy?

The derived market valuation of the commodity at that price in whatever reference currency you choose, of course.

This is the standard argument against affirmative action as well. Of course affirmative action is more about addressing pay inequality and discriminatory hiring practices, while th…

No shit. And let's quit going along with the fiction that the online requirement was for any other purpose.

This isn't a bad thing. EA should fire all it's developers, designers, sales people, management, liquidate its assets and distribute the proceeds to its shareholders, and quietly g…

Fought and lost.
