By your logic, banning it through regulation decreases options and hence diversification. Governments are not angels which seems to be an assumption in your and sibling replies. They're a bully who doesn't want someone else to get

Not sure about the website you run but there might be a corelation to Linux users and your site. It could be either due to your network and the way people came to know about the site or it could be the content among other things

Why aren't autonomous or remotely controlled rovers, or turrets ever installed?

Me too, I assumed its the electric blanket one which is right after that paragraph.

This seems awfully contrived. Issue 1: It's very difficult to tell if your contribution got 50% improvement in performance because there were 10 other devs pushing in features and bug fixes. This is the attribution problem Issue 2: Thi

and where is this mythical job/ company? In Silicon Valley, pay is high, so is the cost of living, reverse in other places. If your situation differs, you've got it good (unless you're in a bad job in a high cost of living pl

I'm a libertarian and I don't know what to say. There will be shitty companies as well I guess, but when they lose customers due to such practices, they will learn? If they don't learn they will go out of business. You'r

That's interesting. I was of the understanding that everything at Google office tries to de-stress you/undistract you. I thought that would result in people being calmer/ more empathetic.

What is this? Fightclub? "Rule #1 of fightclub: You never talk about fight club" :D Seems like a recipe for breeding unfairness. "Don't talk about the system", :sigh:

This seems like a false dichotomy. "Founders need to be tech" is said often, but you're assuming "Founders need to be tech OR Founders need to have soft skills", which is an unnecessary assumption. For example, &quo

I really liked your approach of going about proving your point with Google Search hits. Really well done sir. I'm going to borrow this approach :D

Wow, Clean up trash before we throw it? We're throwing away our time is all we're doing. Looks like no one here values time. Sorting into 13 bins, etc. We need govt to get out of the way so someone can figure this out and make mon

This is govt monopoly btw, not some private monopoly like Google (which is earned and can go away).

by thecrazyone 8y ago
I feel the same way. There need to more options to waste management. I don't want to feel obligated to sort out trash. Take my trash, sort it out and bill me. This is insanity on stilts.

Because demand for plastic bags or similar substances doesn't evaporate. You're using a different substance instead of plastic, if you ban it. Using paper implies cutting down more trees, and paper doesn't have all the awesom

I'm an Indian and your statements are ignorant and myopic. Let me explain. Littering is in every country not just India. Certain countries deal with it in a better way. Banning something doesn't evaporate it's demand. Like, p

Amen, amen, amen. Plastic is good. Your (Govt's) inability to recycle plastic is the issue. No! the govt is going to blame someone and something else for its failures :sigh:

by thecrazyone 8y ago
I'm from India. This is one of the most asinine steps the Govt has taken. If plastic is banned, the need will be replaced by another substance (perhaps with similar properties; also demand for a need doesn't evaporate) which will

This deserves way more attention. I thought this would be blowing up HN, but eh, tumbleweed here! Is there some reason the HN community isn't too gung-ho about this? Is it because it's in the browser or is it javascript or that it
