I don't want to listen to unskilled voice-actors read a book to me. I definitely don't want some super awkward software voice that can't interpret the text to provide emotional color to their inflection. And this is not some

Nobody said trusting minorities was a requirement of a high-trust society but I believe you've completely underlined my point, unintentionally. Immigrants aren't "outsiders" for example. And women and single men, athei

HackerNews tries to discourage the sort of pop culture references that are so prevalent across the Internet in the hopes of fostering real substantial communication and dialog. I don't speak on their behalf but as a member of their au
