No, I'm not pretending that the FDA is nothing but good, that is a straw man. What I said was correct as I said it, you didn't need to invent a point that I did not make. Your arguments come from a hypercapitalist fantasy that sys

Rather than an agency that is accountable to publicly elected officials, in your mind profit driven entertainment businesses would perform this role more reliably? Self-responsibility is just a phrase. When elaborated into the idea you have

I share your opinion on the likely veracity of the allegations and would also like an explanation for the flagging of this post and the repeated deletions of similar posts. Why is HN taking a side here? https://twitter.com/J

It's troubling to have even a potentially very low security risk in hardware I paid for being beyond my reach to resolve.

Not sure if you are speaking out of knowledge of this particular individual but with respect to other cultures, a biological male presenting as female does not necessarily mean trans the way western cultures think of it. Japanese Okama cult

No, the person you replied to was correct (for my region and presumably his). My knowledge of the term mirrors his and I'm kind of disappointed to see so many people asserting there is no common, derogatory, gendered use of the term ju

I would not want to be a friend to the sort of idiots who would say stuff like this. Having a target painted on my back as a decoy somehow makes it even worse.

The problem lies with all of the little ways a dysfunctional democracy fails to take care of it's people. I don't think it makes any sense to suggest dissatisfaction causes these policies. Politics is the culprit only in the sense

I think increasing cores/power limits just gets you up to some other bottleneck. At some point you are adding 90% more power use for 3% more performance.

Many industries do a lot of harm to the environment for profits. On the spectrum of those, where do cryptos fall? I don't know and personally hold only a little bit, nothing I would be very pained to lose, but it would certainly cause

I don't understand what you're trying to say.

It is -just- because voicing those opinions is dangerous though? My understanding is that Chinese aggression is a major regional concern, even for average people.

This was my attitude as well for much of my career, and it was a mistake. The "correct" decision depends on the state of the business and your resources at the time. And nothing else.

After liking this article, I wanted to check out others on the site, and am shocked at the terrible usability of their front page. I can't finish reading the titles of their articles before the page just keeps moving things around on m

Rather than throw the whole thing out because the premise was once applied poorly, the legislation could restrict the actions taken with said logs. PII and the selling and collating of said information from multiple sources stand out to me.

Your stance that they are overly intolerant would have more credibility if you had stated it more tastefully. As it is, you have lead me to believe your attitude was more likely the actual problem.

I don't think it's a valid argument to brush raised issues aside as excuses. Media companies are aggressively litigious bullies and the way they conduct their business is at odds with the interests of the public at large. Not spea

Presumably you were able to explain your case and have the reprimand expunged from your record. As long as they are reasonable in that way I don't think occasionally testing the people handling sensitive data is a bad idea.

That wasn't helpful. Instead of repeating a vaguely condescending remark, please elaborate on what you think he needs to learn.
