You can't just take land and then negotiate a "fair price"

Many times people don't have the "star power" to meet the threshold for the Streisand effect inflect.

Ehh... well I'm biased because I would be labelled by people as alt-right.

Basically, just use your intuition... use it boldly. What does it tell you about these videos? It's weiiiird

Breitbart is a bastion for free-thinking much like HackerNews. While you may criticize their opinions, it's at least sane reporting... instead of cheerleading and narrative controlling like CNN and NBC.

"I'm reminded of _______. [insert some words]."

Woo-hoo! Daddy Soro's just got a new wrinkle under his eye!

All centralized power structures will transform into threats. The future of information technology will be in decentralization/anonymity... not centralization and always-public models.

Like... physically?

This is a bad idea. Once it loses its effectiveness it'll leave the drivers in a worse state.

Yes. The W3C committee just railroaded the DRM spec last week..

All the anti-constitutionalist people at the NSA are getting heartburn as we speak.

Do they use the same BSD+Patents license that's used for ReactJS?

Unless you've started a multi-million dollar company... I don't think you're in any place to call KimDotCom "fraud" or "idiot"

The author should have mentioned Preact[1]. I'd argue it's better than InfernoJS

As a person who does stuff I wholeheartedly support doing whatever I want to stuff you put on my computer screen.

How'd you get the thumbnails?

Believe yourself to be competent. Never believe yourself to be wise.

Facebook is like the Disney in the tech world. They want to be that trove of intellectual property.

They take free-to-use stuff (Disney is cheap ripoff of Hans Christian Anderson's fables), and create "magical" stuff that they protect with their arsenal of lawyers.

If Facebook is able to pull the wool over our eyes this time... OSS is gonna be in a bad place in the next century just like how Disney single-handedly lobbied to change public domain laws in America.

Seems like the source of his gripes are with functional programming, not ReactJS itself.

Yup. The new HN admin's feefees are easily bruised...

Google (parent company of YouTube) already sees itself as the protector of the public's eyes and ears. They might be contrite now but they behave as a censorshipping organization.

Not afraid of an hostile take over by AI. Everything is data all the way down so I'm afraid of those that wield that data.

I'm guessing that the shortest routes from LA<–>SF will have more traffic so there's more stop-and-go which diminishes restful sleeping.

One of the missing points: convenience. Taking a bus "feels" like less of a hassle. Nobody likes having to deal with authorities (check-in people, the TSA). Taking a bus means you have more control over the terms of your trip.

While raw time-to-destination is important, people are also looking for emotional expenditure savings too.

Don't forget about Google. It's less of a salient problem... but all the data collection is created to be monetized. In a few years, we'll end up seeing really interesting ways that data will be sold (not just for advertisers).

Wow... I never knew about this.

This is a direct correlation between Google's "damage control" strategy and Marxism.

Agreed. Sundar's memo was just posturing...

"We want you to feel free to express different opinions..."

Proceeds to fire Damore...

Doesn't PrivacyBadger^1 solve the fingerprinting problem?

Read the Sundar's letter. They're saying James was wrong, not that he not that James didn't fit the culture.
