Goodbye HN. After repeatedly demonstrating your racism and sexism I just cannot take it anymore. It was nice knowing you.

Doesn’t matter. They don’t care. It’s not the reason why they support old hardware. That’s a bullshit argument.

Oh, wow. You are the false equivalency master. The problem here is not that the bot is annoying, the problem is that the bot is sexist. Responding to sexist remarks with something that signifies that those remarks are sexist is not the same

Apple doesn‘t have a significant revenue stream from existing devices. Why does everyone think they are making lots of money by selling apps and media? They do not.

Well, that makes perfect sense. I do not understand what’s “anti-male” about it. When it comes to child support, who matters first and foremost is the child. That’s who it’s all about.

Is it really the case that someone has to pay child support for a child that is proven to be not theirs? I did some superficial googling and found the case of one man who has to pay child support even though a DNA test proved he is not the

I’m honestly curious, what are your reasons for writing this comment? It seems off-topic.

As far as I know Apple has yet to use its ability to pull apps from devices. Apple said it only will do it when malware appears and that has not yet happened.

I don’t see any opinions that are criminalized, sorry. I also still don’t see the slippery slope.

by ugh 14y ago
Making judgement calls is a normal part of the justice system. The powers it has will let you imagine numerous slippery slopes, so that isn’t an especially convincing argument.

It’s still public speech, though, and not in any way personal. I was responding to a comment that the government reading twitter and blogs is akin to reading emails which is total bullshit.

Uhm, everyone can read tweets and blogs. They are public†. I’m not sure how I think about this particular verdict (or whether making such comments in pubic should be illegal or not), but I do get very angry when people tell me that racism (

Stealing and theft is often used to refer to things that are not stealing or theft in the legal sense. This is especially prevalent when talking about ideas and designs. The speakers usually do not want laws to change, they don't want to su

(It's obviously not ironic if he doesn’t call for or wants to use legal protections. Being outraged about something doesn't mean you want to make it illegal. That’s an important difference and I'm not sure why so many people are ignorant of

If it would be simpler you would get something much more complex than this calculator and once again ask the same question.

You are thinking about products and projects, the kid is thinking about having fun in a game. Totally different perspective. It’s totally fun to just have fun without necessarily learning any important skills or developing a product that he

Emphasizing speed misses qualities people actually love about Windows Phone 7 by miles. Only someone who is disconnected from or unfamiliar with the product will come up with stuff like that. There is the stark and fresh design that (indepe

Not because of that. iTunes exists to make Apple’s hardware attractive, not the other way around. (Same with the App Store.) It’s pocket change for Apple. Just look at their quarterly reports to see what they are actually making money with.

Apple always said it's a hobby. Not sure wether that's just rhetoric. At any case, Apple TV has been steadily improving and is selling more and more.

by ugh 14y ago
I'm not sure about that. I saw articles about that on the front page of big news websites. Apple is a big deal, the press will report on them. Even worse: They will report about the scandal but likely not about steps someone takes to mitiga

The Apple TV had numerous different UIs over the years, so it's safe to conclude that Steve Jobs also said yes to a UI in the past that he should have thrown out. Steve Jobs mad numerous false calls over the years. He can be wrong, you know

Follow the money. Collecting user information is (in most cases) a distraction for Apple that could blow up in their face and lead to a serious PR fallout. See locationgate. See Path's address book shenanigans. It's in their best interest n

Something doesn't have to be illegal to be morally reprehensible. It's perfectly alright to think that copying a design should be legal and to still believe that it is morally wrong. I'm not sure where the idea comes from that when someone

You definition of art (and Ebert’s, it seems) gets weirder by the second. Now we can add this deranged sentence to your definition of art: “If there are different ways of experiencing some work, it’s not art.” The justification for that kin

This is fun! There have to be millions of definitions of art , each one weirder than the next. Your definition seems to include bizarre sentences like “When the creators can (maybe ‘sometimes do’ would be better here) change their work aft

I don't really understand why you have a problem with these kinds of posts, then. You seem to be keenly aware of the fact that you are the problem and that you have to work to better yourself.

Yeah, and you are a Niete, niete. Do you think the kid who calls everyone she dislikes gay – and thus uses homophobic language – really fears gay people? No, because that's not really what that word means, even if the dictionary says it mea

Yes, sometimes there are situation where you screw up an interview and don’t get the job. Sometimes there are situation where you write sexist crap and lose your sponsors. That happens. Whoever made this will get a second chance, only not i

Why do you think this is taking away from other efforts? I think calling out asshats is important and it doesn’t take all that much effort. It doesn't take away from anything else.

I’m not perfect. I’m all for second chances. And they will get them, no doubt. I’m not for banning them from society or anything like that.
