Okay, I can see your point about wanting to curb the abuses, but how do you accomplish that without removing the positives? For instance, I find that the advertising done by Facebo…

I still think there are some problems with your definition, and I'm thinking strictly from a legal point of view. There's so much manipulation that can happen from a sole proprieto…

As an abstract concept, a company is a collection of individuals who have formed an agreement to perform certain actions with the intention of profit (profit may or may not be the …

Likewise, I love Apple products, and wish for them to generate more revenue (ostensibly, more resources for them to improve said products and create new ones). I neither work for A…

I think you're both right here. From the outside, it seems like most people don't consider the morality of their actions, but I believe it's a matter of degrees and instances. For …

I'm actually a little surprised by the general praise of this move here on HN, if only because I don't see what, if any impact she has had on either climate change, or climate chan…

Wouldn't also a better metric be the size of the corporation proportionate to the size of population? I'm thinking of the big banking families were equivalents of the modern day co…

Yeah, this article is pretty representative of a general trend to say alot without actually saying anything intelligible. Should Michael Jordan have been paid equally as high as a …

Oh, I’m also not claiming anyone is choosing gender dysphoria, but they are choosing their responses to it. I’m sure there are ways to superficially suppress the mental side just a…

Is mental gender something that can be as quantitatively determined as physical gender? And what is a male or female brain apart from the accompanying biology? What makes it unique…

I think the “buy into” aspect is possibly buying into the importance of it all. In the current climate, it’s a charged issue, because for one side it’s a matter of respect, dignity…

Everything on there sounds pretty interesting, especially if it can deliver the goods :) I signed up to be notified, but is there a rough idea of when you’re planning to launch?

The path of my career took a rather unorthodox route, so I can see both sides of the argument here. I’m a graphic design dropout (completed two different tech schools and took art,…

Hegelian synthesis point: I usually am at my desk, with my phone, and I use the messages app on my computer to do both iMessage and SMS. It’s honestly great to be able to hop betwe…

I don’t know if I’d say that the concept of states rights is abandoned, though it does seem to be discussed less. But it shouldn’t be only central or only federal, but rather a con…

> Why is removing a feature better than letting run a bit slow? If a restaurant runs out of food, there are gonna be some customers who would eat a turd sandwich, as long as they c…

> It’s not that simple. I agree, which is why I think it's pointless to try to conjecture on what other people want, and jump straight to how I would want to be treated. And of cou…

I'll be honest, I don't find the Platinum Rule at all a compelling argument against the Golden Rule. There are many cases of people in power claiming that their behavior is what th…

Wow, I have to give kudos to the natgeo web dev/team that implemented this. This was a flawless read on mobile, and that's a rarity for me anytime a site tries to get fancy, the sc…

I feel like a shill with how often I recommend it, but Keyboard Maestro [0] seems like it would handle almost everything, from window management to all sorts of system automation. …

Isn't this akin to complaining if people for access to tools for drawing, that there would be a lot of fruit bowls out there? The fact is, cameras on cell phones have brought artis…

You hit the nail on the head why I had gone from MacPorts to Homebrew, and for me, the extra need for sudo was just an additional pain point. Your last point brings up an interesti…

In my mind, this seems like the most reasoned middle ground I've encountered. I'm a committed carnivore, but I do have ethical qualms with animal death, and if there are options th…

I have to agree. A dock or pad with a cable or two and an inductive charging mat would be ideal. I like my setup, but it'd be much easier to remember to charge my AirPods if I coul…

Ahh thanks for the clarification :)
