What's fascinating to me is just how many people in the American tech industry are in complete denial about the amount of government support their industry receives and by extension that they personally receive. All too often someone w

I'm going to assume that you're an American, speaking from an Americentric point of view and I'd like to take this as an opportunity to discuss the fact that Hacker News is a website that is available to people around the wor

In one of the first articles that I saw about this topic they were describing a scenario where a botany manuscript from the 19th century that only had three remaining copies was being digitized and then pulped. They don't care about th
