>Now, it is seen as an extension of high school; the onus is on the college to mold all comers into more educated and productive citizens, even if that means re-teaching the basics…

Or just use mercurial, and it's bundled right in by default :)

The problem is that "fap" is slang for masturbation.

If HN bans politics forever, nothing of value would have been lost to the "debate," because "debate" rarely goes on here. It's a leftist echo chamber.

Politics is not what HN is about. This is an academic forum. If you want to talk politics, go elsewhere. This has been my position for a long time.

Is it meant to be at all surprising that in a universe with quantum physics, organisms will evolve to take advantage of those mechanics?

It's a simple fact that if a potential employee cannot communicate with the rest of the team, that is a detriment. The employer should be able to decide whether or not that detrime…

Jeez, I don't like the TPP either, but can you really call it the "wrong" side? This is a perfect example of the kind of general arrogance that I see on the left which allows conse…

You don't understand what money is . If it doesn't actually represent real work, or some material good, it's valueless. It's just this weird stack of paper that shows up at the doo…

Never before in my life have I seen such a mangled and incomprehensible title.

This doesn't surprise me at all. Have you ever felt the lining of a bicycle helmet? There's no give to it at all. It might as well all be made of the same plastic the casing's made…

Please never talk about politics, HN.

What's this? Someone disagreeing with me? On HN? THIS WILL NOT STAND!

>As a pragmatist, I (begrudgingly) acknowledge that because the system is rigged, net neutrality is likely our only option to prevent the existing telecoms from completely screwing…

Just because I doubt they'll do it doesn't mean I said it's wrong. I mean... it would suck, but it's not wrong, morally speaking.

Well, it's actually well within their right to do that as a business. It's also well within your right, as a customer not to do business with them. However, this whole situation wo…

I am completely against net neutrality. The problem I have is that people think it's a solution rather than a stop-gap. The problem is still, ultimately, that we have monopolies at…
