SEEKING WORK: Remote (from Europe, mostly Germany) I am a full stack generalist programmer with a heavy web background and more than 20 years of experience. My favorite tools and t…

This is why I fear net neutrality (and the internet as we know it) don't stand a chance. A lot has been accomplished with public awareness and public outcry has repeatedly averted …

As you can see, there is a lot of hate towards my comments above, and most people here seem to think my thoughts are a net detriment to the discussion so I will stop posting. I'd j…

> worth remembering that the guy in the sofa in front of his TV is not the only HBO customer It's funny how those pass for prohibitive reasons why something can't happen until sudd…

> big content providers are never going to sell you a file This is obviously wrong in principle. The way music downloads work right now is exactly what I've been describing - music…

> Would HBO make more money if they sold each episode separately to everyone all around the globe They would make more than they make now, that's for sure. Because right now, there…

What I want entertainment companies to give me is exactly equivalent to the result of downloading episodes from illegal Bittorrent sites plus the ability to actually pay for them. …

As programmers we're in a unqiue position to get a sense of this, actually. It's very very old spaghetti code. Some of it essential, there are even some cleverly re-used common rou…

I'm not sure the original comment deserves this clarification, you'll be hard pressed to find someone on this forum who didn't already know about the nature of mutations. The point…

Computers are very, very, very far from being like humans, especially when it comes to consciousness. The problem is different, that the system, the military and economic and polit…

This is why the incident and all reports of it is so hard to navigate, there don't seem to be enough facts - just the differing perspectives of three people, which we have to judge…

> I avoid running near men (particularly groups of men) because of a fear that I'll come to harm It's not irrational. I'm a man and I avoid groups of people at night, too. It's an …

The original comment was a joke, then? Because these are really the only two contexts it can be parsed with. I took a look at your brief comment history. The amount of feedback you…

His colleagues and family went to considerable lengths keeping it out of the spotlight - so we can assume he didn't want people to know. That means it's probably an illness with a …

> There is little to disagree with what you're saying On the contrary. There seems to be a lot of disagreement, or I wouldn't be so heavily down voted. Of course I'm not complainin…

I don't think you can rightfully accuse me of making simplistic judgements after reading my comment, but you are right that my reservations are subjective. My reservations say some…

It's hard to disagree with that. However, being offensive (in the way that word is most commonly used) is not even my point. I also never expressed doubts about his engineering pro…

I wonder if he would get this much positive attention if he wasn't a Christian extremist. Would the article have conveniently left out his racism if he was, say, a militant antisem…

My first reaction to this, and especially to the "hn" wall, was: this is very cool, we can all collaboratively write some weird/interesting/funny stuff and overall it's going to be…
