The article fails to realise that in most of the anecdotes retold; today the state would intervene at the behest of a neighbour and "I read it in the New York Times" will not really prevent the investigation into why you allowed y

Did she think it was ice-coffee? Had she ordered an ice-frappe and been delivered hot coffee which is typically made with freshly boiled water?

Is your argument that certain crimes are not crimes in your eyes? You must see how that is completely incompatible with any functioning society. You have decided arbitrarily, in opposition to the majority of society according to our lega

It's not crude. The comment was stupid. It was ill informed, blunt and a complete lack of understanding. I don't need a source to prove it. The comment speaks for itself.

"You need to Google your way to success" I suppose that says it all! What a brilliant demonstration of exactly why you should be ignored. Keep up the good work, you are a fine example of modern reasoning.

Nope it's a piracy debate. Zero Freedom of Speech applicability. FoS is also not absolute.

It's not a slippery slope at all. It's quite clear cut. If a shop was distributing fenced goods or human traffic we wouldn't allow it to remain in business because they also distribute free and legitimate groceries. Do you s

Yes. Unless you think someone should be allowed to post videos of themselves breaking into your house and raping your family? A crime is a crime. That's it. If you don't like copyright then advocate it's removal but we liv

^^ This is exactly why you are supremely unqualified to understand or debate the issue. Honestly. Your comment was simply stupid. The takedown request was not because the screenshots are copyrighted. That is not the infringement. If you

It is common sense that pedestrians should stay out of streets. And for many years in the UK the pedestrian had the right of way; right up until a Judge was smart enough to realise it is easier for a pedestrian not to step into high moving

I absolutely love that the majority of this thread are claiming all sorts of legal protections for Popcorn Time - all the way from free speech to ludicrous comparisons with screenshotting screenshots. So you guys love the law - right up unt

Apart from the fact of being completely substantiated of course. But hey, don't let actual facts get in the way of your opinion.

Seriously, listen to yourself. Here is a little fact; you are not that clever and the rest of the world is not that stupid. Save your strawman arguments. If movies are released by content creators for free they will release them via chann

By censorship, you mean facilitate crime and remove money from people who generate content? Feel free to send me all of the proprietary data at your workplace since you care nothing about copyright. Or just post it all to Pastebin.

You are if the video player finds copyright DVDs and then delivers them to your door without the permission of the content creator. So yes. Stop being absurd.

Except we all know it is. Just like I theoretically could use a set of lockpicks for something other than picking locks. But we both know what they are for. IT communities seem to think Judges are stupid or that the actions of general c

Does employment in a CS career mean that you must be prescriptive in every aspect of your life? The 10,000 hours is a rough guide to a general consensus of sporting and professional pursuits. It is not appplicable to all people in all w

You have just written the biggest pile of unsubstantiated bullshit I have read on HN. You are quite simply wrong. Not just your conclusions, but your entire understanding of native talent is incorrect. It is not surprising you hold the vie

Greenspun def attacks Piketty as an individual and has done numerous times it appears. RSJW is right on the money with his TL;DR

What argument? WTF are you talking about? Who is arguing?

by PM_Tech 12y ago
The best tl;dr I have ever read. You are totally accurate. That is exactly what Greenspun is claiming. :-)

False. Management refers to the coordination of people, not the exercise of power. It is to coordinate the people towards a goal in conjunction with available resources in an efficient manner. Example - A Project Manager has no power over

No I am good thanks. I will just discount it. I don't consider a blog post a suitable way to analyse the magnum opus of an economist of the stature of Piketty. EDIT : Curiousity got the better of me. I read the review of Capital. I

People in my country, and almost every Western nation in the world can afford medicine. The problem you speak of is unique to the USA's backwards healthcare system that costs more for worse healthcare.

I very much doubt anyone can tear Piketty to bits. At all. Not without a book of comparable size and research time invested.

You know better than to bring logic to HN. Someone is having a rant; don't cloud the issue with facts.

Can you give an example of a "talent" that you think is heritable? I ask because inherited talent is a myth.
