When developing and testing new features/bugfixes? Unless the bug is directly tied to production data I have no idea why you would have to use production data for that. I'm not say…

It isn't an argument. DMGs are fine for development and testing and they can be made case-insensitive. Or you could just, you know, create a separate partition. If the DMG speed is…

That's a very weird view of things. Do you really think this rule exists without a reason? Why not just follow the rules and turn your devices off, it's not going to hurt you, but …

I'd assume he would. First of all it could be a risk not to and second, why wouldn't he?

Coding is nothing like literacy. You don't have to be able to code in order to live in a modern society but you have to be able to read and write. There is no, or very little, poin…

A fingerprint is an identification, not a passphrase. On top of that a fingerprint is very easy to obtain (especially on an iPhone where it might even by ready available on the but…

The user comment on php.net consists mainly of bad advices with errors in the examples.

Sure me and my friends talk shit about people that has been exposed doing stupid things on the internet, but we do it in private. We don't ridicule in public. I think that's the di…

It's not that I don't see that happening but it's always from people I don't know and never talked to in real life or on the internet. I have this strong feeling it's a loud minori…

> Most of us are Internet bullies now, some of us more active than others. Yeah right. Most people I know aren't, and most people I discuss with online aren't either. I'd say the r…

It's not trivial to work with apache since it's an old bastard designed to run as a system service. It's fine for production but during development and testing it's a pain in the a…

I know why politicians do that, but why do people do it here on ycombinator?

Taxes are higher, but you don't have to pay for private insurances, healthcare etc. to the same extent. I don't know why people keep bringing up the level of taxes, it's not import…

Another Apple Records? Isn't that a trademark issue? hehe...

I don't know. I mean, if you feel Oracle treated you like shit you can behave like this if you want to. To be the bigger man can be noble and all but blowing off some steam is pret…

Oh please. You can't just make up your own definitions of words and then use those definitions in discussions. There is a definition of what a company is, and it's not 'people it c…

A company has no feelings, no concept of regret or remorse, it simply lacks consciousness. Without this you cannot have morality. A chair, an action, not even an animal can be mora…

Companies are not some organic-made-out-of-people creatures. Where did you get that idea? Seriously, why do you think that?

Here we reserve that for when the president, secretary of state or someone relevant in foreign affairs says or does something, not a prosecutor.

Patent trolls are not the problem, the problem are the laws and structures that makes it possible for them to exist. For a company it's perfectly fine to do whatever it takes to ma…
