shout out to your casual misogyny: > Great. Then the relatively physically weak, the infirm, the elderly, the women, will be at the mercy of the strong as if women are somehow magi…

Well, if women are leaving faster than men and often cite reasons of being bullied or otherwise forced out by men... why would women desire to enter that workforce?

This is the most patronizing thing I've read in a while. Women don't magically have some (ableist) disadvantage that prevents them from participating. The thing that keeps them fro…

What you are missing here is that the trolls friends still show up in the original persons mentions. So rather than the troll disappearing and interacting stopping it allows the ab…

Yeah Houston (I'm assuming you are talking about Houston) is a really progressive place. I do love Austin (its a young city and I'm a young person) but its not some shining light i…

Just, why is everyone focusing on the smokescreen of he said/she said? Who cares! He broke a federal law!

So wait, this guy was smoking some weed (I assume) in the middle of a con and got banned. Why is this even questioned? Whether you agree with smoking weed or not, he committed a cr…

also, cmd-l (go to the awesomebar) and start with a ? to always search. you can also have different engines ?cat will search your default engine for cat i have one for ddg so ddg c…

Isn't this more the arena of a procedural than federal law? This definitely seems more feel good than reality. I believe the court precedent is called "legislative entrenchment"[1]…

While I happen to agree with you, I'm trying to make the point that even people emotionally invested in their hatred of pornography should see that this law is faulty. Even if we h…

Just what citizens need: a the government watching everything you do! Regardless of how you feel about pornography or other "obscene" content, this kind of power will be abused. Ev…

Talk about playing right into the pirate bay's hands. The Pirate Bay can sue the CIAPC and put on a show about how even copyright's defenders mess up.

This would be the one sticking point for me: it seems Apple has never really cared about games, so it is unclear they will start caring.

I wish it well but my assumption is that it will fail :( Hardware is hard; software is hard; distribution is hard; but they want to do all of it all at once. I wish them the best b…

Think about the long term though. Apple has already convinced millions of people to put the AppleTV in their homes. With a simple update they could enable iDevices and an App Store…

I'm vaguely imaging a scenario where they don't sell anything resembling a console, but expect you to own some sort of iDevice to go a long with your AppleTV, or maybe sell it with…

Oh wow, good point I totally forgot about valve holy crap. That should be soon! I'm not sure Apple will/would do it, but I think they have the muscle. They aren't competing with Co…

I am super curious. Sony is at a huge turning point here. They are faltering badly and sort of stumbling around. For example, they released the new PSP and the Xperia Play last yea…

I've been shouting this for as long as I could: Once Apple (or maybe an Android company or even someone new) enters this market in earnest, Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo should take watc…

I think you are underestimating how much the general population wants apps

Why should a user "know" they got a cached page and not that more phones came up for sale? How could you possibly spin this as somehow being the users fault for not "knowing"?

Have you ever sat in traffic? I used to commute in Houston and even with a fairly decent filter on the A/C it stunk.

I don't know why people are writing off stinks/toxic/noisy. As someone who has at various times lived near large roadways, this is a huge concern. Car pollution is a really big pro…

Honestly I'm just blown away at how decent this article is. I feel like most NYT articles I read on internet-ish companies come totally miss the point but this hit Kickstarter perf…
