I think it's fair to say even if we adjusted for lower US taxes, higher livings costs, that the Californian worker would be far better ahead still. There is a reason the entire Silicon Valley doesn't pack up and move to Finland. T

From a purely business decision? Sure. But why does Valve support linux and attempt to bridge the gap with steam play if it's only about profit? There are other reasons to support linux: - Game devs are usually a fan of linux / vu

Once you get used to Linux updates happening without restarting or freezing your computer, you'll never want to go back. In a world with security updates, updates seemingly every day, every week, and monthly large updates, this would b

I don't think censoring facts is ever anything but black and white. The fact that Taiwan exists, Hong Kong exists, Falun Gong, Tibet... These are all real things. There shouldn't ever be a reason to hide the fact that they exist n

The most important and missing information at the start of the article is _why_ the OP had their information posted on the forum, why they were getting sent this package.

FOSS has always been a give and take. You use FOSS every day in your daily life from software on your phone, your computer, maybe even your microwave is using FOSS! No one has to do FOSS! It's a give and take, you take, so there's

I still firmly believe Reddit is only usable with RES infinite scroll enabled. It's such a joy not having to click the 10px wide "next page" button. Infinite scroll works in a lot of ways, and is integral to a content absorbi

The article mentions how a very small fraction of adults have jobs, and who are diagnosed with being on the autism spectrum. I wonder how accurate that number is, or how far on the spectrum the individuals in that study are. It seems like a

There is absolutely no way the bad press they're getting is worth saving a measly 3430. HOWEVER, from this 1 point alone (and the thread from last year about the same issue with kitsplit), we can deduce that kitsplit probably has enoug

I feel like you're assuming way too much when the only evidence we have to base YC's rejection is by their rejection email. They clearly wanted MRR and company that moves fast, and the OP clearly showed that both are possible in a

You might have missed it in the article, but their explanation is really apt. "Therefore, we thought that if we can get first paying users and MRR over the weekend and get back to YC next Monday morning, they would see that we had achi

Tracking the movements of all citizens is not a compromise that ought to be made to keep society safe. This power can and will be abused to target minority groups (closeted LGBT, minority ethnic groups..). Also in America law enforcement ha
