Norwegian and USA societies are vastly different. There is absolutely no reason that something that works in one country will work in the other. For instance, look at the gun ownership/gun crime rates. I want to add another comment, wh

This is absurd nonsense, but my viewpoint is a lonely one on HackerNews.

"It's funny to catch friends looking at Sublime's payment popup window. I always joke, "oh, you're still evaluating?" You sound like a really fun guy to know.

It embarrasses me to see such conspiratorial nonsense on this website. There are many reasons why such things happen: coincidence, someone google the topic from the same router IP address, ad tracking on Googled websites, etc etc The idea t

But the headline says "Theresa May to launch sweeping internet regulation", which is complete nonsense, which is why no-one is reporting that. For US readers, The Independent was a UK newspaper which closed last year. The website

Is there a credible news source for this, or just The Independent?

Just a reminder, and I think it's getting lost here in the HackerNews demographic narrative.. but: The Conservatives Won The Election They will be ruling for 5 years, in a coalition with the even more conservative DUP. Labour/pr

This is a rather simplistic analysis of why poor people often vote republican in the USA. Ironically, I just visited Gothenburg in "socialist Sweden", and it was the most racially/poverty segregated city I have ever been to i

If this decision stands, then surely Switzerland will have to construct an entire new legal apparatus to deal with the volume of legal cases when people "like" something that is untrue?

Calling aggregate anonymous analytics "spying on your customers" is absurd nonsense.

I don't care too much about RAM, I do care about the carnage it wrecks on my battery life.

Huh? The NSA didn't create the exploit. Oh, it's Gizmodo. Why is this garbage on HackerNews.

Enough about RAM and CPU. Let's talk about BATTERY LIFE. Why would I run a terminal app which drains my Macbook battery three times as fast as the default app?

Discourse was a missed open-goal. Forum software was horrible, and Discourse were a smart team at the right point-in-time. Unfortunately, they blew it. They created an over-engineered, over-complicated, bloated, heavy mess. Jeff bet on Moor

The Independent doesn't exist as a newspaper. It closed last year. The website was handed over to a team of marketers, to try and make money from the brand. They have been successful.
