Sure, some computer people live in bubble. But the idea that humanities professors are going to help change that instead of making them even more deluded I think is wrong. The humanities are currently a toxic breeding…
The last thing programmers need to do is get involved with people who "work" in the social "sciences". These people are the most useless and deluded fools on earth. We need to absolutely defund these people and remove…
Computers are about control and wanting to return to the old days of aiding the power user has nothing to do with nostalgia.
I agree with this guy that having to use a mouse is often a chore and inefficient. Google search used to have a feature where you could hit tab after a search and it would auto select the results in order, but that…
The futurism this guy pushes seems like trolling. He is a really smart engineer and has to know what he says is hugely exaggerated. He is just making stuff up.
It makes sense that he would shill for 'smart' cities because that implies expanding the 24/7 surveillance state.
These losers that lost the battle of ideas really want to push a message that anything that goes against their narrative and interests automatically implies evil, criminality and debauchery. Nobody cares if people in…
There should be a huge backlash because of this. Make sure all people involved are fired and have no ability to govern anything public ever again.
Mobile is not a major threat to desktops, they serve different purposes. People who have desktop PCs aren't getting rid of them because they bought a phone or tablet. Even though Microsoft has questionable practices…
a Basket of Figs and a Letter, did by the way eat up a great part of his Carriage, conveying the remainder unto the Perfon to whom he was di- rected, who when he had read the Letter, and not finding the quantity of Figs…

There is still plenty of room left in electronic music for new ideas and exciting masterpieces. Popular music is definitely especially vile today, but that does not make the musical form itself dead.
"Supporters of women in tech praised Google." .. total lockdown of discourse is helpful to women? Outright firing anybody who dares to ask for open discussion is creating a more woman friendly working environment? This…
Maybe they should work in salt mines? What is so bad about that? We need to get rid of this stigma that if you're not an intellectual then you're automatically some poor serf at the bottom rungs of society. Your…
Many of the problems the author speaks of are likely caused by things other than smart phones. Young people are facing an increasingly dim future, the prospects of being able to find a good job or own a home keep…
Hacker news does not need to cater towards repressive organizations. People like you should not be browsing this website at all, as you are not welcome.
Or for this reason, because it may be questioned whether the same simple essence can be expressed by many diverse attributes. There are, indeed, many definitions of compound things but only a single one of a simple…
Get rid of all government programs. Instantly a huge amount of wealth will be gained and productivity will skyrocket. It is very important to remember: nothing the government does is good. What is the minimum amount of…
Minimum wage is a terrible and tyrannical idea. Government has no place to say what any employer can offer for any kind of work. It is more manipulation and fakery, just shifting things around to seem like something is…
Nothing that the Canadian Government does is good. All government institutions survive through theft, deception and immorality. All government programs are dysgenics programs. All functions of government can be…
Of course the power to amend provincial constitutions is restricted to changes in the internal machinery of the provincial government
