You're rich and you expect people to feel sorry for you?
I mean... regulations exist for a reason. You think someone is over at city hall making these up as they go for no reason? Sounds like your friend could have done a better job educating himself before he started.
I'm sorry, but which guideline have I violated? I was only trying to help.
That list betrays how lonely you are and the self-esteem problems you have. Might I suggest mental help?
I'm having trouble understanding your logical association between having no interest in doing something and being willing to do literally anything else. Would you mind explaining what you mean by that?
Sorry, but a PhD does not require hard work or significant intellect at all. It just required following directions. Please don't make PhDs sound more difficult than they really are. That is disingenuous.
Please don't post stuff like this on HN. You are a shameful, self-obsessed liar. The world needs fewer people like you.
This whole article is just a plug for the author's open source software business. Downvoted for being another shameless profit-grab from the front pages of HN. Embarrassing.
LOL. Downvoted you. I don't agree with you that thievery should be legal.
This is how the world works now. The most important thing is marketing/buzz/hype/name-dropping. Once you've got that, then you can begin thinking about what the focus of your business will be and what products or…
Let me make sure I understand your logic: If you had a girlfriend/boyfriend who drank gasoline and ate glass and small, powerful magnets every day, you would not lift a finger or speak a word attempting to stop them?…
This is the kind of high-quality, insightful comment I subscribe to HN for.
Your wife drinks 2 cans of soda and takes Advil every single day? And you let her do this? Can I ask why you don't care about the well-being of your spouse?
I can't believe how long I laughed at this comment. I literally rolled around laughing uncontrollably on the floor at this comment. All my coworkers are staring at me funny now. This is one of the most amazing comments…
please avoid making comments like this. you do not contribute to the discussion and you embarrass yourself.
> We shouldn't really take the shortcut of comparing our wealth to the wealth of others. Aren't shortcuts in dealing with people a problem? That's a great perspective I hadn't considered before. You are right, taking…
I don't understand why we're supposed to feel bad for someone like this? Like, sure he has a felony on his record, but he is enormously wealthy and a successful businessman who will continue to acquire more and more…
Ever since the idea of a modular phone was first introduced "Phonebloks, or whatever it was" I have known for a fact that it was a fundamentally flawed concept and would never see the light of day, despite the enormous…
Then you Australians aren't actually barbecuing, are you? ;)
Those are some very elaborate strawmen you are constructing there. Is that what you're referring to? How come whenever someone, like me, reveals a factual, truthful, and well-argued opinion, they are criticized by…
What a self-absorbed person you are. You bought a house in the Bay Area right out of college, allenc. You have ABSOLUTELY no right to be telling anyone what they do and do not deserve. You have lived a very easy life…
Do you know how I can tell you're a self-published author who thinks very highly of himself without reading a single word you wrote?
So you're saying you feel bad for the person who chose to lie in exchange for millions and millions of dollars? By any chance, are you yourself rich? I can see how that would make it easier to sympathize with someone…
Haha, looking through your comment history, you have absolutely no right to be using such a concescending tone. Does your resume include any position besides "old, disgruntled, unhappy, friendless programmer"?
There you go, oldmanjay, very good. When you encounter an opinion you don't agree with, the first thing you try to do is discredit the person speaking that opinion. That is EXACTLY the correct, adult way to handle…
