You people always have to preface with "...I'm always for regulation and government interference...but".

Yep, only in the sick mind of a leftist is innovation bad...thus the "worshipping innovation" You need to start doing some more "new thinking" for yourself.

You don't seem to understand the definitions of "convicted" and "community".

so the US government says Bitcoin is legit? good. Forfeiture is a scummy thing by the feds, but I'll take a 2017 vette with those bitcoins.

so many of remember the movie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casino_(film) How can you maximize before you get kicked out....you always get kicked out.

How tired are you after a days of works. Many of us are mentally drained, which we feel as physically drained after work. Not only that, but physical activity plus our mental strai…

yes, it'll be a slow slog, but Americans aren't stupid and understand that fully autonomous roads are controlled by government and bad.

That's a good point. Singapore is an autocratic state and very small. It'll be decades (maybe a century) before Americans give up their right to freely drive their cars. The are hu…

"the right" didn't invent "global warming"....the left did. Listen, maybe, or maybe not, there is man-made global warming, but when the left calls for the death-penalty for global …

Global Warming coincides with leftist economic/political policies very neatly. That can't be denied.

he's not falling for Chinese propaganda, he's part of the Chinese propaganda

Exactly, I still have no idea what HammerJS is.

In many large ways, it’s almost as if we have collectively stopped planning for the future. We never did "collectively plan" for the future, nor should we.

In the mid-late 90s, when I started writing C++, I had a gut instinct that methods and data shouldn't be encapsulated together. I couldn't explain why though. Rich Hickey started c…

So Spain isn't Germany, but I'm curious why even in the midwest (St. Louis no less), senior developers easily command $120k+. But I guess this also goes to the point why SV is only…

Not sure why you're getting modded down, because your'e exactly right. They're stupid, psychological, trick questions to get people to lie. Just walk out when you get questions lik…

Where besides NYC? Nowhere. Americans like their cars. They like to drive. America is not the collectivist/statists that represent modern HN...which is pretty sick. Hackers are ant…

you pop into the market as you walk past it on the way home from work, We're not European, we're not going to be European...ever. We just don't "pop in" to some market while we're …

I think its pretty telling that Y-combinator wants to become central planners. I'd back off these political positions you guys keep on taking.

That's not working out.

At what point are there consequences for bad decisions by judges? At what point are there consequences for bad decisions by prosecutors? At some point, judges and prosecutors have …

Been there, seen that. Nebulous, pie-n-the-sky requirements coupled with PMs that don't understand software development and probably don't even understand the product. I feel bad f…

I think topmind/tablizer has been somewhat vindicated with the rise of Clojure and Rich Hickey ranting on OO in a much more eloquent way. But generally, I think the glow of OO as s…

Is this government sponsored? If not, then why "Iran Launches"
