I don't think it's a good idea to make more and more solutions to problems that we don't understand.

What about we spend more time to study the problems, to study us.

Instead of accusing the buyers who might unknowingly buy these cards, how about cover your losses using insurances? How about calling the police? Maybe paying more to buy a better insurance next time or hiring a government with better funded police or more efficient justice system?

The screen size issue can be mitigated by using a better window manager

I kinda want to buy their stock more than their laptop at this point. (Not in need of a new laptop)

Who cares about the stars

Nope

It’s the new drug

This is an important point for me as well. Not sure on other platforms, but on web, it does support composition.

I think the answer is we _want_ to solve it.

Now the important question is why human beings want to solve this, and what exactly do human beings want.

I'm not particularly into math, but I've lost about five nights of sleep on this...

If government officials can just order things like this, why don’t they just order everyone to be happy and order this world to be perfect? Stupid.

Study human.

I’m not saying I agree or disagree with the intent, just an “order” is the most ineffective thing one can do.

I don't like separating Front End and Back End on people. I like the separation on architecture.

People believe that?

Human beings can’t definitively define good or bad without human defined boundary conditions. Be VERY careful with these two words in their general meaning.

Here’s an easy one: just remove all numbers from social media.

It’s not ended.

If you compile English to Python why not just compile it to even lower level?

This looks like one of the most interesting and fulfilling game one can play

At least people knows media are bad.

Do you know how they got started?

It’s also becoming a Chinese state owned company

It’s easy to make money if you can sell addictive drugs before they are categorized as such.

These two things are simply not connected. The author can do what he want, he can also make it play Chinese national anthem when starting the software, and it'll be the same. It's not connected to the reliability of the software. He's free to do whatever, as long as it doesn't violate other people's rights.

Nice! Ban recommendation algorithm next!

I wouldn’t doubt it about PHP, it’s just the fact people gather together to actually discuss and appreciate technology for the sake of it, not wanting to sell something is becoming rare. Or it could be my perspective have changed, and I didn’t realize people were selling things.

And the whole blogging community was so great, people exchange links not for SEO, but from appreciation of content or styles.

I still remember the first Wordpress installation, I was in high school, China still had decent connection to outside world, I rented my first VPS, in west coast US, even tho the domain was eventually blocked by the great firewall after a year due to some personal thoughts I posted. But I learnt a lot from it, it’s the first time I tried to read and modify actual code to make things work the way I wanted. Oh and there was a huge community for Wordpress in China, they’d hold those events in top universities in China to talk about Wordpress, PHP, web and technology in general, always wanted to attend. I think things changed now. Exchanging links to each other’s blog was also a huge scene, I still know some of the people, some of them are still blogging, about their lives, kinda like diary, from high school to graduation from college to getting married and having kids.

And that’s exactly why China will take over the US.

Nothing is honest here.. it’s just becoming a state owned company...

If I as a user think one thing is better than the other, does it make it automatically the more correct one? Unless you design doesn’t serve the purpose of a product but for yourself to feel better when compared to other designers.

How correct is the color red? Is it more correct than the color blue?
