I really love all of the things that I can do with my smartphone these days that I'd never have been able to do with an older device (trying to even browse the Internet on a phone that I owned as recently as five years…
But ~$89,000 isn't six figures, so...? Also, I suppose it depends on the source and relevant area covered by the statistic. I've heard other (lower) figures elsewhere.

Right, I'm not talking about withdrawing from the market, I'm talking about remaining in the market and being allowed, as a private company providing a private service, to freely associate. I have no qualms with a…
Personally, I'd really not like to see a precedent set for a company entering a market, doing very well, and then being legally compelled to provide their product as some sort of legal right to an entire population. It…
I find this distinction increasingly odd as time goes on. Or, at the very least, the use of the phrase "real life", as if interactions over the Internet are somehow cleanly separated from the rest of one's interactions.
Appealing to authority is not always fallacious.
>they treat it as an insult I treat that as an insult. As if their ego is more important than me not being launched through a fucking windshield.
Do they not provide comparable functionality?
As it should be! The ubiquity of the "funny == upvote" mentality is rather depressing, and I'm glad that HN (generally) tries to avoid that. It makes the comments section a much more interesting place to be (to me, at…
>Everyone is saying the same thing. Registry Cleaning is unnecessary, won't improve performance, and really only offers you a chance of doing damage. Well, shit. I've been using the registry cleaner for years now on…
I'd imagine just about anything that exists in any capacity can be tied to the physical in some way. I think that in this context, "tangible" means more than that.
But if I were to do that, I'd have to go deeper. I'd have to start justifying everything that I do. And I mean everything. I'd have to justify my justifications, and justify those meta-justifications. I'd have to…
I haven't suggested that general anarchy has erupted. I've suggested that "breaking the rules is part of being human" is a crappy justification for breaking rules.
>Because breaking the rules (like what "fits HN") is part of being a hacker. Or a human. This sounds like justification for having no rules. I don't know if that's a good idea. >Plus, that's how social sites work.…
Agreed. I always find it odd when digital items are referred to as "non-existent", as though their intangibility makes them any less real or valuable.
What are your means? What is "quite well"?
How is that? Again, I don't really mean to press you too far with the questions, I'm just a young guy who hears $110,000 and thinks "gee, that's a lot of money".
If you don't mind my asking, how far would you say that $110,000 has gotten you in Seattle?
RES uses infinite scrolling of some sort, yes.
Do you mind providing me with some examples of civilized honor killings?
If you're avoiding press for security reasons, you may be doing it wrong.
