> That pilotes die in case of a plane crash is probably the main reason why air travel is so safe.
Then what about driving ? By the same logic, car accidents should be much less. Flights are much safer due to the amount of research done in air-travel safety, in general, and also after every accident. And also because in roads you have too many cars interacting together at the same time, where any one person's small mistake can cause an accident, which is not the case with aeroplanes.
Re:Ask HN: Best Movies you saw in 2012?
on Tuesday December 25, 2012 @07:39PM (#4967653)
Moonrise Kingdom was the best. The Hobbit was great.
Looper was good, but the ending wasn't logically consistent I think.
Since no one has mentioned it, I would recommend Dredd. It was a good movie going experience. Don't know it would make good viewing outside a cinema, though.
Cloud Atlas was interesting, but not as insightful as it was made out to be.

The way you define altruism, would be the correct way to describe what Jobs did. Even though he was ousted from Apple he continued to work on his passion. His actions were at its core self-serving. The side-effects were the good things he added to humanity.

I don't think such deterrents are going to influence corruption.
Does one decide not to harm someone, just because we have laws against it ?
By the way, don't we already have laws against corruption, why hasn't this stopped anyone yet ? Are more laws going to stop it ?
