Cool. I guess we're all better off for the downvotes then. Honestly, I'm outta here. Had enough of this. Changing my password to something I'll never remember. Rage on, kids.

OK. Sure. Downvote away. And this will keep happening. Grats on that. Keep fighting with reality, let's see how that goes.

Teenager in the US at the same time. Yep, this is exactly what we did with our 8-bit machines and modems at the time. We were global even then. EDIT- LOL. I guess the HN downvoters…

Start firing people for screwing up and their peers will learn not to screw up.

Here's what I consider a balanced response- prosecute him for some kind of hacking crime, and at the same time fire the system administrators for gross incompetence.

I wonder if the same applies to say... Google. That they're kept afloat by less than 1% of their users.

Well, no. You stated it was list of films someone enjoyed. But that's not what it is. It's a list that one of the top living film directors on the planet thinks that directing stud…

Better received by who? For film students, the films themselves are the information needed.

Not really. If these movies don't stimulate your directorial imagination, a few words aren't going to help.

I'd counter that if you watch the films on this list and don't understand why Lee included them, you're not likely to be a good film director.

No French cinema? Breathless is on there, as well as 400 Blows and Day For Night.

Lee picked it because it's exceptionally good cinema.

They certainly would have understood corporate legal status, and done so much better than nearly everyone who comments on it today. And honestly I don't think it would take most of…

"I'm talking about the period between its invention and the development of cinema." Right. Which should absolutely scream to an entrepreneurial crowd there's an immense opportunity…

I'm much more interested in an AI that optimizes audience stats than one that optimizes in-game stats.

Vaguely related is the Salton Sea in southern California. It's been a large lake in the geological past, but it most recently filled in due to some bad irrigation planning in 1905.…

I'm a little skeptical about the pepper spray accusations myself, but there's no question that a Google security guard harrassed and attempted to intimidate the people making that …

This recent debate has quite literally centered on his administration using the San Bernardino shootings as leverage to force Apple to break iPhone's encryption. It's the main reas…

A 10 year old Toshiba running Windows Vista. It runs everything I need it to run, and I have mac and linux desktop machines, so I feel no need to buy a new one.

Except this time technology is evolving in a general way, to take over all jobs, not just specialized tasks. It's not the same thing happening this time.

That's pretty much how I see it. It's something that simply must happen, there's not a lot of choice about it. Better to figure it out now than be forced into it later.

But it wasn't when it started. Which is the point.
