Said torrenting sites are by and large against the laws of the US and many other nations and shouldn't be compared to the NYT.

I'm a really big fan of reddit in some ways and I have been following this drama very closely. I just don't think it's appropriate for HN.

I really wish people would stop posting about this most recent bout of reddit drama on HN. Are people not noticing that every article so far has been deleted?

This comment is an excellent summary of my problems with reddit. I spend way, way more time than I should arguing with people who think that "it's just a joke" is a defense of anyt…

One should not speak ill of the dead in places where people have come to pay respects.

I also read the Wikipedia article on blackmail, but I then proceeded to read a bunch of other articles on the web as well. The purported blackmail act was a demand that /r/CreepSho…

I'm not sure that makes a lot of sense. Stuff like what's mentioned in this article, weird PayPal stuff, or random Google account banning doesn't get fixed unless it gets publicity…

Convincing people to stop using such a flawed language when there are so many viable (and in nearly all ways preferable) alternatives.

Problem is, they aren't going to have comparable yields at the same time. The newer tech will have a lower yield.

I agree with you in that people seem to be making waaaay too much out of the fact that one of the two did it first.

Trusting Intel and trusting your fab are different problems. Intel creates a design and sends it to the fab. Intel has to trust that the fab will not alter their design, but in gen…

This touches on what I think is one of the more interesting technological problems that we have to worry about right now. As a disclosure, most of the reason I think that is becaus…
