If you think limited freedom cultures are good for our work go on ahead ignoring this stuff. I exist outside of HN. HN though is where I want to see technology articles and discuss…

What in god's name does that have to do with the article that was posted?

Since I can't flag the story, I'd like someone to explain to me how in the hell they consider this "Hacker News". Seriously, this article, and all 22 comments of this discussion be…

In Canada withdraws and deposits are separate. Most employees are paid via direct deposit up here, and it's been that way since like the early 90's.

From Wiki: At one point, the CDC coined the phrase "the 4H disease", since the syndrome seemed to affect Haitians, homosexuals, hemophiliacs, and heroin users. In the general press…

An article like this makes you wonder how many different diseases (answer - over 200) get lumped together under the large "cancer" umbrella. One wonders if we are doing ourselves a…

What motivates web designers to tell stories by repurposing the scroll mechanism instead of, say, using video? I can only speak for myself, but I rarely, if ever, watch website vid…

Ah, the web was invented to keep military sites in communication (presumably so that they could keep killing people) while the rest of the world was dying a horrible, nuclear death…

Online Protest == Can't be bothered to actually do something meaningful to register my outrage. Sorry, but change means getting off your fat ass.

No, it's called focusing on a particular topic at one time. You cannot concern yourself with politics all the damn time any more than you can concern yourself with anything else ex…

>The politicization and militarization of technology is undeniable You make this statement as if it was some sort of new happening. This is as old as technology itself. Finding new…

Pretty much, yup.

Agreed, although the top comment here was actually quite interesting. HN has made an exception for all things US gov't spying related. I even lost my flagging rights for flagging a…

> it seems to be staying pretty vanilla Thank God.

There is no substance in this post and it shouldn't be here. The first post was okay, this one is basically writing for the sake of writing something.

Actually, most of the things that honey bees are critical in pollinating grow closer to the ground.

As per the article: You are not in anyway immune to the same processes that you are complaining your parents are beholden to. Your views and experiences are reinforcing your own be…

The irony in your comment is kicking me in the face through the computer screen.

Somewhat oversimplifying, you can think of hierarchical individualists as akin to conservative Republicans, and egalitarian communitarians as liberal Democrats. Somewhat? That's li…

If a deer walked though a field it would stand to reason that it would encourage pollination. Bees are some of the best pollinators, but they aren't exclusive in this regard.

I live in Canada. Unemployment is less that the US, and so is our budget. You were saying?

I made the parent comment. I also pointed out as to why employers offering extended services works in the very next sentence. You are providing no real evidence to the contrary oth…

1. I'm in the industry. It has more to do with pooling of risk than bulk processing, but same idea more or less. Insurers can and do rock the boat all the time, but around the core…

>You've been tricked by marketing, and you're eating it up. Um, no... I've seen the actuarial tables, understand them and program systems to support them for the industry. Unless y…
