Who made the call to fuck the users? Whoever it was, fuck that guy. Instagram is a company. The leaders are responsible for that unethical behavior and I'm not going to excuse them…

If it slips by unnoticed, they are looking at hundreds of millions, possibly billions of dollars. So the upside is VERY VERY big. Well worth the risk.

Boo hoo, the multi-millionaires are getting insulted when they try to fuck their users! Won't someone please think of the feelings of the millionaires! I'm pretty sure they can wip…

This is literally the only part of Dr. Strangelove that doesn't fit Von Neumann. Everything else including the accet is a dead ringer.

It's very direct. 1. Von Neumann was biggest proponent of first strike 2. Was in a wheelchair 3. Wanted to create a doomsday machine that would destroy the worlds crops with intent…

What a lot of computer scientists don't know is that Dr. Strangelove was DIRECTLY modelled on John von Neumann. They don't talk about this in CS departments. Your hero was Dr. Evil…

Wouldn't it make sense that the NSA owns a few Certificate Authorities and gets access that way? They try to have backdoors installed for them everywhere according to that whistleb…

There is no reason to force yourself to one solution. I have access to this setup, but also to multiple laptops, desktops, tablets, phones. I use what works for the situation. When…

This doesn't conform with standard HN understandings of what it means to be a customer and what it means to be a product.

Perhaps, when I say something quite abstract, I'm MAKING A POINT instead of, you know, ignorant of very mundane facts like what you are blabbing. God the literalism in the software…

Aww, you managed to be offensive inside a compliment. Cute.

If you don't recognize the high privilege of working as an entrepreneur in the first world for 10 years, you are just clueless. There are people starving to death because of the fi…

>(it's super-basic Python, not a proof). Uh huh. The name of your method was "proof". I've been on HN for four years and you think I don't know how to read and write python? I'm a …

You have confused the customer with the product.

You want downvoting privileges, but think insults are appropriate here, and even equate those insults with proofs! comic.

It's disingenuous to say you're working FOR the disadvantaged. They aren't directing your activity and they have no power in the matter. Government actually responds to the desires…

Like everything Ayn Rand, that's completely upside down, since government is also the only entity that has ever succeeded in guaranteeing people's rights. So government is the best…

I joined HN four years ago. How would YOU know what belongs on HN? Your comment is extremely shallow and false to boot. It belongs on Rush Limbaugh, not on HN.

Maybe some private charities do benefit the disadvantaged. But that doesn't mean those private charities work for the disadvantaged. Who is the customer of a private charity? Who i…

If you think private charity works for the disadvantaged, you are confusing the customer with the product.

you know what's chilly? the blade of the guillotine. you can either share some of your money or lose all of it.

Entrepreneurs only work for human beings with money. Who works for those without? It doesn't matter how inefficient government is. Government is the only entity that works for the …

>it's fully understanding all the logical relationships, dependencies, performance characteristics, and edge cases of the desired features. That IS programming. Don't confuse progr…

Efficient text editor usage is still voodoo to anyone who isn't a hacker

Wow, he ran his campaign like the ran the companies he destroyed/raided. You have to wonder how this incompetence translated into electoral failure. Maybe a better businessman woul…
