I think I know why personal websites aren't popular anymore. It's the same reason retro video games aren't as fun as they were when they came out. What's missing is the context of …

Good news! I am unique. My experience is valid. I really needed to hear this.

Or you could write the 10 lines of JavaScript that'll do what 99% of people use Google analytics for

No, then everyone will use extensions that support their favorite features and the browser wars will start all over again

Wait, did Microsoft win the browser wars? MS: Okay, gooogle, you win, we aren't good at making browsers like you are. Can you take on all the responsibility of making this browser …

How much attention do you pay to this type of thing? I've never heard of it until now. It's people like you who just downvote things without an actual good reason that make interne…

Isn't it more expensive to launch a geostationary satellite? If their big thing is communication how are they going to compete with Starlink (which isn't geostationary btw)? How is…

I'd be open to not receiving benefits. The only one I really need is healthcare and I can get that through healthcare.gov.

I'd asked to be moved to part-time at previous jobs but they would never let me. I've asked local recruiters about part-time work and they basically told me that it didn't exist. B…

The productive like the people who do slave labor in China to produce all of our gadgets?

I earn $100,000 a year writing god awful code for a doomed software company. Am I contributing more to the public good than the restaurant worker who cooks my food, the guy who cha…

In my opinion this is just one symptom of the overall illness our society is suffering from. There's no unity among people. It's very much a materialistic society. Everyone thinks …

I recently had a comment flagged that by no means should have been. This was on the tail end of a lot of downvotes. I thought the HN community was more adult-like but I keep gettin…

Ah, okay yeah I didn't read the article. You're right. Now I have to wonder though why Snowden would have ever expected to not lose the profits from his book.

Well of course they did. This is one of those times where it's easy to see the real law of the land is whatever the government feels like doing. It's all a dog and pony show. What …

It's pretty clear that you're in read-only mode. You think you know the only answer so what can I tell you.

At what point did I tell OP to become an expert on IP law? Nowhere. My advice to OP was to educate himself so that no matter what he did he could be more effective. > You're not a …

No I would actually attribute that to just typical internet forum behavior. If you don't know to talk to a lawyer for a legal issue then you've got bigger problems.

Why is that?

First, pico is doing all the heavy lifting there. You don't need the dozen. Second, what a nasty little comment you've constructed. Third, you've made quite a few assumptions that …

My point is you don't need to say obvious things. It's a waste of everyone's time.
