Who made the call to fuck the users? Whoever it was, fuck that guy. Instagram is a company. The leaders are responsible for that unethical behavior and I'm not going to excuse them out of some bullshit appeal to programmer loyalty. The fact

If it slips by unnoticed, they are looking at hundreds of millions, possibly billions of dollars. So the upside is VERY VERY big. Well worth the risk.

Boo hoo, the multi-millionaires are getting insulted when they try to fuck their users! Won't someone please think of the feelings of the millionaires! I'm pretty sure they can wipe away their tears with $100 bills and their feelings won't

This is literally the only part of Dr. Strangelove that doesn't fit Von Neumann. Everything else including the accet is a dead ringer.

It's very direct. 1. Von Neumann was biggest proponent of first strike 2. Was in a wheelchair 3. Wanted to create a doomsday machine that would destroy the worlds crops with intentional global warming. By destroying Russia's crops USA would

What a lot of computer scientists don't know is that Dr. Strangelove was DIRECTLY modelled on John von Neumann. They don't talk about this in CS departments. Your hero was Dr. Evil.

Wouldn't it make sense that the NSA owns a few Certificate Authorities and gets access that way? They try to have backdoors installed for them everywhere according to that whistleblower.

There is no reason to force yourself to one solution. I have access to this setup, but also to multiple laptops, desktops, tablets, phones. I use what works for the situation. When does the ipad+keyboard shine? When you don't have easy acce

This doesn't conform with standard HN understandings of what it means to be a customer and what it means to be a product.

Perhaps, when I say something quite abstract, I'm MAKING A POINT instead of, you know, ignorant of very mundane facts like what you are blabbing. God the literalism in the software industry is just pathetic. It's like all you ever read is t

If you don't recognize the high privilege of working as an entrepreneur in the first world for 10 years, you are just clueless. There are people starving to death because of the first world economic policy that you advocate, or at least tha

>(it's super-basic Python, not a proof). Uh huh. The name of your method was "proof". I've been on HN for four years and you think I don't know how to read and write python? I'm a lisp hacker who came to this place back when it was abou

You have confused the customer with the product.

You want downvoting privileges, but think insults are appropriate here, and even equate those insults with proofs! comic.

It's disingenuous to say you're working FOR the disadvantaged. They aren't directing your activity and they have no power in the matter. Government actually responds to the desires of the disadvantaged so the difference is infinite. Volunte

Like everything Ayn Rand, that's completely upside down, since government is also the only entity that has ever succeeded in guaranteeing people's rights. So government is the best friend of man's rights, while libertarianism is the biggest

I joined HN four years ago. How would YOU know what belongs on HN? Your comment is extremely shallow and false to boot. It belongs on Rush Limbaugh, not on HN.

Maybe some private charities do benefit the disadvantaged. But that doesn't mean those private charities work for the disadvantaged. Who is the customer of a private charity? Who is the product of a private charity?

If you think private charity works for the disadvantaged, you are confusing the customer with the product.

Entrepreneurs only work for human beings with money. Who works for those without? It doesn't matter how inefficient government is. Government is the only entity that works for the disadvantaged. Government is also the only entity capable of

Wow, he ran his campaign like the ran the companies he destroyed/raided. You have to wonder how this incompetence translated into electoral failure. Maybe a better businessman would have given Obama a challenge.

The social science approach would be to use both. Detailed case studies are essential and should be the starting point. But hypotheses extrapolated from those case studies could then be examined with statistical analysis like this.

by forensic 14y ago
Since this book will likely be unscientific conjecture backed up by an amateur conception of psychology and physiology, I hope you will detail as many case studies as possible to allow readers access to the data on which you are theorizing.

"it's called logic" Actually, It's called not knowing what the fuck you're talking about The logical thing to do would be to educate yourself. P.S. trans people's brains objectively show non expected neural activation. And this is just one
