Like I said, I just don't really care and it's not going to affect my life. I'm all for improving technology and efficiency and believe that it will never truly be a life threateni…

Yea I just don't care about any of that and I don't think that's wrong.

I've been on here for 10 years. When did hacker news loose all resemblance to hacker culture? And i'm not a truther (thanks for making me use a word like that btw), maybe a rationa…

And when exactly will it become an actual problem in the sense that it actually affects anyone's life? 1000 years? 10000 years? Like global warming is going to suddenly show its te…

It's not 'harder' to take mass off earth than it is to bring mass back. Assuming you want to bring the mass back 'gently' and not have it collide with earth like a comet. Think lik…

Mattermost seems pretty to-the-point. Really not getting what's so hard about chat with some basic formatting.

No I think my advice is don't code on your break because coding is boring, repetitive and the culture is shit and it took me too long to realize this.

It may be an age/experience thing. I spent many years coding in my free time, worked on all parts of the stack from boot loaders to single page applications. The magic is kind of g…

Build a compiler or small emulator if you want to get better not more web CRUD. But really don't code on your break, i'd say buy some shrooms and walk around the woods.

Thank you for your insight into the emotional fragility of female construction workers.

Is that a quote from Hitler? I honestly can't tell.

This is assuming that the torturers are dumb (not true in the case of nation states) and that the information is not verifiable. This is not always the case. And the argument is th…

Bring his kids in. He'll talk. Downvotes for unpleasant reality.

Interesting anecdote. Sounds like he didn't want to talk politics but you kept pushing, trying to take some moral high ground. Voting isn't an exam, it's actually pretty simple eve…

Yea and isn't HN always going on about how education != intelligence? It's great branding too, hook your cart up to the liberal party and suddenly you're smart, refined, enlightene…

It's not the users the cause corruption it's who builds and desires to take control of the system. If billions of people are using something it becomes corrupt because of the immen…

I honestly do think you missed it and it's been laid out by my two comments. This isn't a personal goal of mine it's just how I see the economics of it. People that want their gran…

I'm not meaning to be elites in the sense that i'm trying to look down on certain linux users. But if someone is going to use linux or not use it at all based just on how it looks …

Well you can have that, those are the repositories mostly, which you have access to when building your linux. So you have a mature source of code, but what makes a distro 'mature' …

This is incredibly naive. FOSS ultimately is business (if the code has any real value) and that's why there are licenses, to keep industry in 'check'. If RMS shared your optimism t…

Why do you want to attract uninterested users who's interested are primarily superficial and not aligned with the core values and spirit of linux/foss? This is how you breed corrup…

I'm not sure what you're getting at here. They should willingly be making less money?

Seeing as the holocaust was an enormous industrial operation i'm going to image there are many details about it that can be debated. But now that conversation cannot be had because…

Just get some popcorn and watch fb bleed itself dry before it realizes that trying to create a 'safe space' is completely counter productive.

No one is saying that this is un-constitutional, because the gov would need to be involved for that to be the case. But it is still censorship.
