"Market forces" is just another way of saying "individual choices". Restricting individual choices has certainly been practised across a number of political and economic systems but there is always a question - who decides what to restrict?

Apologies for correcting but it's "a number of people", not "an amount". "People" are countable.
Re:Bicycle helmets do almost nothing to prevent concussions on Saturday October 11, 2014 @05:50AM (#8441726)
The article's title is "Senseless". HN's title, I believe, is bound to distort one's impression of helmets' usefulness.
Did anyone else have to re-read the title a few times?
I was following the news from the conflict in Ukraine and when the plane got downed, pro-Russia rebels were celebrating all over the internet (thinking that they'd downed a Ukrainian supply plane). When it became obvious the plane was civilian, the celebratory posts and videos started to disappear with blazing speeds.

Alt+F2 in KDE to bring up KRunner but you can change it to whatever keys you like
I am your guy hitting his head after a cycling accident and being fine afterwards. Would it surprise you that, in spite of being fine, it is right AFTER this accident that I decided to start wearing a helmet? Judging by your argument, you would call me illogical.

"speaking against class privilege, now...", "anybody talking against mass immigration...will easily be classified as 'hate speaker' too" - please cite a single law of any European country classifying those as hate speech. Up until then I'll say you are spouting utter rubbish.

It's only acceptable to use "she" if the character in question is positive. Using "she" or stock photos depicting females to refer to a negative character is sexist.

Upvoted for a very good post. Just a small note - it's "heroin". "Heroine" means something entirely different :)
Re:The new php.net on Tuesday June 25, 2013 @01:57AM (#5937807)
From a developer's perspective - perhaps. But look at it from a business perspective (cost, risk management), and you'll often see it differently.
