It's sad reading people cheering their own exploitation. But I'd expect nothing less from HN.

You sure packed a lot of liberal slurs in a really small and useless comment.

I know you couldn't resist injecting an anti-car barb in there but it makes no sense - the problem in the US isn't our "abusive relationship" with cars, it's insufficient infrastructure. Your magical public-transpor

Of course you can. It just isn't legal for most people.

In addition to what someone else who replied to you said about number of games, I also was listening to something recently talking about how much energy had to go into building one device that could beat humans at one task. Today and for th

I'm developing a theory that America's thoughts on what technology is capable of swings wildly between two poles (possibly with every generation?): A strong luddite streak that pooh-pooh's technology, followed by a ridiculous

I think you might misunderstand the statistic. He's saying one out of every 70 deaths. If there were only 70 deaths a year, one would be from a car accident. Far more would be from suicide, cancer, and heart disease.

I'm your age and to draw comparisons between the fear of Japan and the real threat of globalization is laughable.

I love suburbs. They get lots of hate here but I'd take one over a city in a heartbeat. I like doing things that require garages and back yards and sheds.

Okay replace slavery with indentured servitude. Does that sound any better?

I did and think the reply's tone was perfectly reasonable given the parent comment's dismissiveness. Yeah I do like interacting with people. Even "minimum wage workers" who last time I checked were still people.

But one is venture-funded, the other warchest-funded. That is not equal footing; the pools of money are not infinite and Uber's is both shallower and far less ensured.

So should we start hunting bears in Yellowstone?

With apologies to Mister Sinclair: It is very difficult to make a developer finish a game when his salary depends on not finishing it.

You make punching other people in the face for screaming crowds sound so noble. It's not.

I think about how recently and spectacularly housing has gone off the rails and I get so sad. What a complete disaster this is turning into.

Most of the POTS system is fiber and has been for some time. The "sorry copper POTS network" enabled the future through any number of amazing technologies up to and including SS7 and lots of modern tech. If you're saying NN g

One is forward-looking, predicting the outcome (winning) by looking at current data (objective comparison). The article tries to twist this around to be backwards-looking: if it won,it must be better. Which is a sickening and illegitimate a

Sure that's fine. Economics still isn't science, even by the relaxed definition.

Because Apple is about as done as it can be with general purpose computing. I think it's safe to say they will make no more significant investments in it. Closed ecosystem computing is their golden goose now, they have zero interest in

Never have to look far in a thread like this to find the kid who thinks economies work like Econ 101. Here's a piece of advice: anytime you find yourself concluding with "it's that simple" you're probably not thinki

This is nonsense. It was nonsense back a few years ago when everyone though social networks were the entire internet and it's even more nonsense now. Flickr always occupied a different space than FB and could have leveraged that. They

I've been in the bay area for a few decades. I've gone from my salary paying for my family to have a nice rental house in Cupertino to renting rooms from friends so we have a place to live. And I make double what I did back then.
