I have not met the person saying it as a cop-out. In my experience they say God did it and tell us about him. It's only a cop-out if they say it to avoid looking into reasons for t…

But using that as your basis to ignore the question is ignoring the can. Religion tries to answer the questions on existence, meaning and morality (this is not meant to be defimiti…

I think you misunderstood me entirely. I wasn't saying it was in someone's control. I was discussing analysis of the system as it is.

Showing that people are willing to pay a price does not make it equitable. You have to account for power dynamics and market conditions. I believe the original question was whether…

Thanks for the rant, was great. Used to play Eve a lot. In the end I got pretty deep into suicide ganking (destroying ships in 'secure' space at the cost of your own ship(s) for th…

I share your skepticism of the (inherent) potential of the internet. It's not a popular belief and I haven't seen a good solution... But in the mean time I watch as everyone herald…

Sell keyboards I expect. They presumably have engineering and marketing staff so they should do great.

Edit: sorry for re-stating some of your points. I'm sort of delirious with a head cold right now. What's pretty interesting is that it could be both. Sellers get's a return. Upon r…

Is a pragmatic solution more virtualized memory, other software solutions, hardware shielding, lower data density, or some combination of these?

Uber requires a significant investment - a new car.

Stunning.

It seems like the issue here should be that rentals/hotels are discriminating based on whether someone operates as an AirBnB host or not. Other renter's who do the same without suc…

Is The New Yorker unreadable for anyone else? Keeps jumping me to the start of the page.

Yeah! Is that actually feasible?

"265 unique packages, all to build jquery!" Oh my goodness.
