Go watch the oscars or something...

Now this is my kind of click-bait title. Using a historically hip counter-culture sport/lifestyle to bait the kind of males that would only drool over being cool into starting an a…

Benchmarks are snake oil when not being given the ability to reproduce them.

No worries, I'm sure everyone contributes more to their respective governments to break encryption than they'll every send to anyone seeking to protect it. Send more money to this …

> several people (not conspiracy theorists) Nice, you choose to single out a section of people who've been reliably wrong, and excluded them from the people that have historically …

Your very own government sponsored taxi, less city and state control and now with improved tracking and information awareness! Red or blue pill, they'll choke 'em both down with a …

Wow, so you didn't bother reading what I typed about my accident earlier. I'm sure people that disregard the law completely will just suddenly start paying for insurance and you'll…

Haha, does not improve the conversation according to you because? Is incorrect because? Close minded because? Misleads people from the truth only you know? You should pull your hea…

No worries, plenty agree with you, but few fight the flood here on HN any longer. I never vote and rarely comment. The whole premise of comment voting is groupthink 3.0. I cherish …

Luck has nothing to do with genetics or the history that created them. Any system that requires the coercion of subjects to submit against their will for it to be successful (it is…

They're a facade, a ruse to convince the american's that they still have a say in the matters of the US Government. This should have been obvious when they took the hot air of thei…

Your comment has reference to nothing useful to the conversation. None.

Yet living responsibility has clearly put me into a different cost bracket as opposed to the useful idiots. I've never been to the dentist, have straight cavity-free teeth, and nev…

I hope you truly see nothing wrong with paying for (and forcing others to pay for) someone's sugar addiction, cellphone conversation while driving, smoking or drinking addition, ot…

Wow, what a load. Health insurance is a scam for the over-socialized. Why don't you have food insurance as well? I freelance BECAUSE I don't want to participate in the insurance in…

I think people should really consider that there was nothing but the intent to assist in the Sony PR campaign in the first place. The US Government is a corporation first and forem…

What depths of poor taste we find ourselves in, to be disagreeing with pg on hn. Even pg can occasionally come off as an ignoramus, but don't let that convince you of the fallibili…

Surrender your welfare programs (social security, public schools, the postal office, health insurance, the war machine, NASA, etc) and I'll be on board with completely open immigra…

I'm sure the EU governments each have a hand in the cookie jar as well. This isn't about state secrets as much as having an emotional and mental thermometer into the subjects of th…

I agree that it's unlikely the hack itself was a PR stunt, but you have to admit the subsequent handling of the hack was a PR stunt in which even the US Government seemed to be in …

Programming is popular now, so I guess it follows that the pop-gobbling consumerists that ingest propaganda hourly would start overrunning the hacker types. How I miss the pre-2003…

Throw yourself in the 'pessimist' camp if you like, I'm merely not an optimist to the point of ignoring reality. I love watching people gasping for optimistic news, it speaks to ju…

Yeah, your government isn't torturing innocent people, murdering others with drones and promoting riots and revolutions abroad as subversive acts of war. Your economy is doing grea…

I didn't realize it was a competition between the sexes. Pick your side and game on, then.

You're over-complicating the issue, I think. Why not just do it themselves, then claim it was 'Anonymous'? No convincing required and no one to argue with. The whole thing smells l…
