Sorry for being this direct, I know it can be viewed as impolite but please bear with me for a second. If you want curious conversations to occur, then please consider forcing downvotes to prompt a conversation by having to respond instead

Once upon a time I became convinced I wanted to create the first 100% virtual bank of my country. Not having the faintest idea of how to do such a thing I set out to at least collect a roadmap of the paperwork needed to do that, so I could

No font in Google fonts does, for instance. At least from their own little demonstrator. There is https://github.com/googlefonts/noto-emoji Noto Emoji which can render the flags but you need to build it yourself

Different legal systems codify different mores differently. In Argentina and Chile, mapuche people to this day continue to legally challenge the ownership of land that they claim is theirs even after hundreds of years of having lost it to t

Oh my. I just looked, and it turns out in the US there is apparently no such thing as voiding a sale due to it being forced, only 'fraud' understood as misrepresenting the value of the property or the origins of the money haha So,

According to the article the State discovered, way late, that the kind of ties he had with China were not of the kind they assumed guilt of and heavily publicized when they went to destroy his professional life, but instead of the kind peop

They aren't Automatically Awesome Tools Of Civility either. An entire world war was fought as a direct consequence of one said peace treaty. Nazis wouldn't have been able to gather that much support if the Treaty of Versailles had

Unless they have like a country-wide e-mail address or some kind of HN-exclusive PA system, I don't think this figure of speech really means much other than a childish retort that does not really further dialogue. The validity of treat

A good compromise for this kinds of things is usually dual licensing: - If you're big enough to make real money and you need my attention then pay me this much please - If you're some rando with a toy project, then we h

One thing I've always wondered is, who cleans this things? Is normal, run of the mill cleaning personnel expected to be careful enough to not accidentally toss something out alignment, or is there some kind of Nuclear Plant Grade Clean

If there's one scenario where I'd dread autocomplete-based/chorded typing is when coding or writing on a terminal. My coding usually comes _after_ some consideration about I want to write, and having to tack an additional &qu

Unfortunately, if we can't agree on what words mean, I can't justify continuing to waste time in this discussion. Cheerio!

> The argument that you’re not stealing something physical is an old, tired, immature, and naive narrative And yet here you are, claiming that "pirating" something is somehow bad. Look, I think our disagreement comes down to de

At least according to their own accounting, movies lose otherwise hilarious amounts of money all the time and they seem to still exist somehow. "Piracy", which in reality is probably better called "online jaywalking" as

Your use of scare quotes on plain self-evident terms kinda makes me think this is going to be entirely pointless, but here goes nothing. Do you understand that your being more or less content with the results of a deal does not have a beari

The purpose of DRM is ultimately asserting the will of a couple corporate ghouls over your use of the thing they basically cheated you into renting. Which wouldn't even be a thing if intellectual property rights, which are at the core

The wording on the main driver of the experiment, their especially bad emails, leads website operators to think there is a problem where there is none. This, on top of the research being entirely devoid of consent between the human parties

This is kinda sorta equivalent to "from Apache HTTP Server to Phoenix Framework" though. Like, yes of course an actual RAD framework has more things built into it than a server runtime. That's kind of why they exist. Your pro

I like this as a placeholder look and feel? Looks fairly pretty, lets me focus on building the thing, and is easy to throw away when actual themeing takes place later.

I myself enjoy reading papers. At least after I transfer them to a single column, 14/16pt tall font with real headers, that is. The graphic format itself is dated and annoying, yes, but I find the expositional tone and immediately sear

Morels grow under a whole host of trees, some of them of very high commercial value, so I wouldn't bet on that. What's more, one simple way of getting a bunch of morels to grow on a specific patch of land turns out to be setting i

Facebook's unique brand of algorithmic bias is probably the one thing they will end up being remembered for once they manage to sunset themselves. Even Google will recommend some odd, interesting things from time to time to find out if
