Did you just use drug abuse and vandalism to support your argument?

If men are part of a patriarchy, I should be getting paid more money.

Is a person in "extreme poverty" with a cell phone?

Mainstream is where the money is at, and I think Twitter is a for-profit company, not a charity.

It was insider dealing involving a minor who's family has very powerful connections.

Not if someone self hosts their video.

Not printing "Hello, World!" to the screen would be considered a LOGIC ERROR.

Since when did iOS have 47% market share? Also, who has ever used Kantar WorldPanel as a source?

I understand that Hacker News likes political stories mostly leans left on the political spectrum, but this story isn't true(1). Susan Ferrechio needs to update her story or put a disclaimer on it.(2)

(2) "To be clear, the RNC neither asked, offered, thought of or ever considered the idea of Lady Gaga performing at our convention. And clearly, we didn't offer a million dollars. The story is actually referencing an event by American Action Network, an independent group that is no way affiliated or connected to the Republican National Committee or Republican Convention."

Inkscape for vector files and Gimp for all other stuff. I create all my own graphics and it looks very acceptable. For repetitive work I use scripts, command line programs via MacPorts, or put together my own from Automater.

I actually think people who use esoteric tools are more interesting than people who think that one tool is the best. And I've been working professionally for well over a decade now.

What do you mean by "Scared kids"? These soldiers we send into combat are adults and trained professionals. If anything they should be better able to assess a situation in combat with boots on the ground, not flying above the area thousands of meters away firing missiles.

Additionally, there is nothing stupid about what Rand Paul is doing. The American government is based on a system of checks and balances. Rand Paul is doing the job he is paid to do.

You're right. Alan Kay does come across as rather bitter.

Very interesting, especially for me as an iOS app developer. Thanks for writing this.

This is a really good copy. You appealed to the develop base of this site and made it sound like something other than a press release.

Congratulations. That's the most elitist argument I've read on the site.

Sears Craftsman Tools.

I don't know how else to put this but local, compiled apps run faster than web apps. And the problems laid out in the article are indicative of development choices, for example not being able to pick up where one left off in a local app as opposed to in a browser app in the NYT example.

Never going to happen, even though I wish it would.

When dealing with a corporation, I can dump their services and go with a competitor. When dealing with a government, there are no competitors. You are automatically in their jurisdiction.

I'm a military veteran. I've been to war. What the article is written about is not a war. It is a competition between companies in a safe and opportunistic market, which is the furthest thing from warfare and destruction that I know.

In America everything is for sale, except people, see 13th Amendment.

Hi tmcw. Two questions for clarification

1) How is the review process a sham?

2) How is the app breaking Google's TOS?

They didn't keep it secret for 50 years. It even has a wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avro_Canada_VZ-9_Avrocar

I'd wager on "beginning of the end". Shake up large projects until only the smaller, "quick wins" remain, then sell off the assets. It's easier that way from what I hear.

The editor is called "Satire".

Is this the L4 and the HURD project?

Mark Cuban is only human, and I was wondering why he seemed to take that huge Facebook loss so lightly.

Apple wrote a software application which uses Openstreetmap and Tomtom. They don't have an actual map data set like Google does.
