I'm going to forward this article to my gym. Cable news really isn't news anyways. CNN is entertainment masquerading as news, and Fox is just a 24-7 confirmation bias funnel for conservatives.

This shouldn't be downvoted. We don't need to make up things about people to attack terrible policy and unethical behavior.

If I'm fleeing a fire in my building and I run across the street to get away from it, am I jaywalking? Does that make me not respect that law? You're attempting to rationalize intolerance on a linguistic loophole (see: https:&#x2

I agree with the premise but the problem is developing apps in any other ecosystem decreases your overall audience. You're either in the corporate world with their walled gardens, or in the FLOSS world where there's all sort of ro

Perhaps nihilism was too strong a accusation, but I still fear your position is leaving a loop hole open for nazis. Your case for logic and rationality reads like the status quo should be left alone, which in our current circumstances, tend

> If Free Speech is suppressed through societal pressure, it's just as bad as the government doing it. You're confusing the market of free ideas with speech. Governments have militaries and police forces. Societies have public

Here we go with another nazi attempt to lecture us on civil liberties. If they had more political power (and I shudder at the notion), they would be the first ones to clamp down on speech and free expression (it's kinda their thing). W

Interesting. Could you elaborate?

What do you think the motivation for the Google memo was, exactly?

It's satire.

Hating? No. But certainly disappointed and disillusioned. With ethno-supremacist folks like Bannon and Miller having such high-level spots in the administration, and their executive orders targeting legal residents and immigrants based on n

This is a good point, however... > The tech world likes to build these epic hagiographies of people who never asked for them This is not true. These people, by the very nature of their positions as chiefs of well-known organizations, h

It does make sense. Y Combinator has a relationship with Thiel. He's been declared as a partner many times in the past; now they're saying he's not. That's why I'm asking the rhetorical question. I'm afraid you

We fucked up. We got too confident and comfortable. For one, I'm sorry. There's a lot of other Americans out here for think and feel the same way. To everybody that warned us about Trump, We cannot express to you how regretful we

Laugh or cry then, but get out of the way, and know that you did nothing for your country.

Well, stop looking to profit-focused corporations to take care of us and start using what democracy we've got left.

Yes that Feinstein. Call her office and exert political pressure. All we do is complain on the Internet about it, then wonder why our politicians don't listen to us. Feinstein doesn't read Hacker News.

I'm aware. That why I said "oppose the Senator's vote to confirm Pompeo." She needs to be held accountable. Stop spending time responding to comments on the Internet if you haven't called yet. It takes 5 minutes.

If you live in California and you are at all concerned about this, you must call Sen. Feinstein's offices and tell her staff that you oppose the Senator's vote to confirm Pompeo and will work to support her opposition in the 2018

This isn't just click-bait, it's irresponsible journalism.

Wow. A new Prime Minister and a new President within about a month of each other. At this point though, it doesn't seem like the former will matter much anymore. I hope this shit hole of a year turns around for the second half.

> “People will give up their privacy to get something they want,” [Thornhill] said. Housing isn't a want, it's a need. What a disgusting perspective.

Yes they do. Read the article and read up on the article's author. It's quite literally based around eliminating the costs of the social programs and instead throwing everybody a flat $10K/year.

In the context of this article, it is very much about libertarianism (the strain of it that is willing to admit that we're facing a jobs crisis, at least). Check the article's author. They want to throw away any sort of a public s
