No.


The product is on-demand streaming of movies and tv.


Finance is the best poster child for "Good ole boys club" outside of politics.


Most computer users don't understand or give a damn about managing their file system. It seems like many HN users do, yet clicking on the "go" menu to see options and keyboard shortcuts available when they want to go to a folder is too confusing for them.


Or whether you should even be using a web app.


Racism


It's a shame that this is being downvoted, as the prohibition of marijuana was in fact very racially motivated [1].

A discussion of the history of drug legislation and its intended target (Chinese immigrants in SF, for instance) would lend more weight to your comment.


Stealing a comedians joke is similar to stealing a developers source. I'm surprised at some of the responses here.


So you have never shared a joke a work, got home and repeated the joke to friends or family?

People like to have a laugh. Most people repeating the joke are not claiming credit for creating it. They found it funny and shared it so others could find it funny to.


Twitter gives you an easy way to share the joke while retaining attribution - the retweet.

I agree that most of the people are just sharing the joke, but a sizable lump of them are trying to create some kind of online brand which they use to get money.


So if we legislate against those people, we also legislate against anyone who tells a joke online.


>Stealing a comedians joke is similar to stealing a developers source. I'm surprised at some of the responses here

Source code isn't written to be shared or to entertain others with. Quite the opposite, in fact, as we strive to protect source while still releasing the products built from it.

A bit of an idiotic comparison really.


I couldn't give a crap if someone "steals" a small snippet of my code equal in significance to a single joke. Anyone who claims to have learned programming without doing that is lying or delusional.


Stealing from a comedian would be horrible, if it was done to a comedian who only used their own material.


This is insulting to everyone who fights for actual free speech rights.

Another clickbait from eff.


That is one example of guided meditation. How is that contamination for a meditation study?


The words in the meditation primed particpants specifically for what they were measuring. They should have used a guided meditation that didn't mention judgement. Or alternatively, give an audio which mentioned these concepts without the meditation bit.


NPM has a very innovative approach to package management


How so? Nothing about it has struck me as being particularly unusual.


Node uses hierarchical dependencies so different dependencies can get their own version of a particular package. I'd agree that this is hardly innovative, but definitely a lot more user friendly than Ruby. npm is great but would agree that attributing Node's popularity to it is unfounded.


It's a blessing and a curse. When a package is tied to a buggy version of a dependency, it's not a lot of fun to try to get the upgraded version in without either forking your dependencies or trying to get everything fixed upstream.

On the flip side, it is nice when (compared to ruby) you have two dependencies that depend on incompatible versions of the same library.
