On point (2) -- In four years of being a math major, I don't think a single professor ever used brackets in that situation, only additional parentheses.
Why do you think a currency that naturally appreciates over time is desirable?
Sorry, they stole your money. This is a big advantage of theirs, they aren't regulated like a bank so they have no trouble taking money from marginalized people.
The downside is that it's nearly impossible to go back to a thread and continue where you left off. With a linear thread, you can go back to the last post you read and continue from there -- with a fully threaded forum,…
Flattery is a two-way act to me, why else did you use the word? You basically said "accept that someone copied you against your wishes and just ignore it".
I have a question about bitcoin -- let's assume that it actually starts becoming popular. What stops any country that's adopting it from simply forking their own version? Specifically, why is everyone investing in this…
download/steal/copy/whatever you want to call it. I was just suggesting a place to get it from.
What if I don't want to be "flattered"? I don't really see anything flattering about someone copying one of my ideas when I don't want them to copy it.
You can always steal it from thepiratebay/megaconz
Just because it's possible to steal something, you/society should allow it to happen? Did I misinterpret what you said, or is this what you're saying?
What's the incentive to be a sponsor vs. someone who receives a copy after the work is finished?
You're right, I actually agree with #4 more than my previous post will admit. But I believe the unrestricted level of piracy the OP suggests should be allowed swings the pendulum too far in the opposite direction.
1. "Not my problem" 3. "They'll figure it out" 4. "Not my problem" 5. "They'll figure it out" The only legitimate argument I'm seeing there is point (2), and even then, all you're saying is that in absolute dollars the…
So what is the ideal scenario, in the author's mind, for how creative work should be compensated? Let's say I wrote a book, and I want to get compensated for the time I spent writing the book. In his ideal world, I…
The author explicitly states there is a 24% correlation, and then says there is no correlation. Can he or she not make up their mind?
"I find your response stemming from a false assumption as evidence that you are spending too much of your neural network trying to deal with the deceivers in your life." Really, you got all that because I assumed your…
"Most" families children grow up to be "leeches on the system" ? Can you please tell me what your definition of "most" and "leeches" are.
Once they become prevalent, they'll make money at the same rate GPUs make now, or CPUs made before, or etc. etc.
So how many years did it take for you to recover from finding out Santa wasn't real?
Why is the author's opinion more relevant or acceptable than the submitter's or HN's? You state it like it's obvious, but I don't see why the author's opinion is particularly special.
Wow, that's pretty ridiculous. You'd figure after a few months they'd tell me, right? Is that also why I get "Unknown or expired link" all the time and every page always takes 15-20 seconds to load? I noticed when I…
