"This link has an autoplay video with sound."

Are we really getting this finicky now? Like, I'm usually on the more compassionate side of listening to people's concerns, but being offended by a video playing is just... sissified to the max.

The key difference here being the lack of victim, that makes your argument void.

In the real world, doping affects others around you. In a video game, there is no victim.

I see no moral delimma.

This is nothing more than a cheat code... They are, in effect, rewarding you for having a correct NFC code, thats all. If you obtain that, you have it.

I had a friend who was only sighted in one eye... his only problems were no ball sports (like you) and depth perception made parking his big ass crown victoria harder than it should have been...

So another rendering engine to deal with inconsistencies?

"Previously if you somehow managed to find Unity terminal window (not easy)"

Are you saying its difficult to open the terminal in unity? Its on the right click menu on the desktop (common feature across WMs) as well as CTRL-ALT-T, another common shortcut (though some WMs are simpler and use CTRL-T). Its also called "terminal" so searching in the app menu or with the super key is trivial.

I honestly feel like Terminal might be the easiest to open app with the most shortcuts built in by far in any unix WM, so that comment completely confuses me...

"Since both Mir and Wayland wanted to work towards the same goal with minor differences in details, they should have banded together and have had proper discussions regarding both their ideas."

Thats an ideal world... but we know that the egos that drive open source projects are not keen on banding together... they need THEIR project to be the best one, even if it only differs in completely minor ways that are all but hidden from the user.

Background checks are useless when so much bad information is floating around...

Is being caught with a gram of pot a good reason to not have a job? Because in states where it is (or even, was, but is not now) illegal its often a felony. I have friends who live in legal states with MJ posession charges from when it wasnt legal. Still haunting them... seems like bullshit all around...

On top of that, here's a fun little story. There is a guy, born a month after me to the day, in the next closest hospital to where I was born, with the exact same first, middle and last name as me. In 2003, he got in a bar fight that spilled out into a parking lot, during the fight his pants where torn (not taken off) in a way that exposed his genitals. He was charged with a sexual crime and is now a sex offender.

You wanna know how often that comes up on low level background checks for me? You know how much it sucks having to preempt a BGC with a future employer with "you might see a thing that says im a sex offender, here's a nice PDF i've made explaining the issue..."

The thing about this that makes it suck so hard, is not only are background checks bleeding other people's information into mine... but the guy is a sex offender for no reason at all... I feel bad for the dude.

Thats why this system sucks, regardless...

In an infinite universe, nothing is rare, by that logic?

Rare is relative, so just because something happens an trillion times it can still be nearly nonexistently rare, given the data sample is trillions of trillions?

Seems like a silly thought..

I want people who make software designed to do harm to be held accountable. Since he promoted and supported it in a place focused on harmful hacking, his intent was very clear. Him being held accountable is a good precedent to set.

If smith & wesson promoted their guns in a forum known for plotting murders, do you think they wouldn't be held accountable?

If ford promoted the f150 as being able to drive though 50 people without slowing down, would they not be accountable?

The software isnt the problem, the software has legitimate use... however, it has nefarious use as well, and he promotes that side of it..

It couldnt be "hacker news" .. becuase hacker news has nothing to do with unethical hacking, which is a primary topic of where he advertised and supported his product.

If the product was talked about there, used there, etc, that would be different. The fact that he actively engaged in that community as the author of this software demonstrates pretty clearly which of the "dual use" sides he was intending on cashing in on...

Not to fault him for lying through his teeth... you gotta defend yourself...

But he is lying. He supported and advertised the software on an unethical hacking site. Thats extremely clear intent, on his part... hes hosed, and he deserves it. Why people here are standing up for unethical hacking is... beyond me...

If knife manufacturers are promoting and supporting their product on a forum devoted to the illegal use of knives... they probably could (and should)

If Linus were advertising and supporting his software on a forum with a heavy focus on non-ethical hacking, that might be an apt analogy.

He made the app for unethical purposes... his advertising in said forums is a clear indicator of that. Lets not rally being people who are actively trying to reduce security on the web...

Flip the argument the other way.

Startups want to underpay for talent. Google isn't overpaying... the big companies aren't overpaying, the startups are under paying.

Being a startup isn't an excuse, and you're asking people to take less pay to work at a place that has a decent chance (compared to established places) of going under. You're asking engineers to take on more risk for less pay.

If you aren't funded enough to pay your engineers what they deserve, you aren't funded enough to hire more... end of story.

And the fastest way to shut that down is to legalize the sale of it as quickly as possible... dealers wont take tthe risk on teh street when dispensaries are all around...

I fail to see the reason for the delay... Just stop enforcing, period. There is no reason to continue enforcing something that you KNOW is going to be legal soon. Its just letting the last of of the money feed into the judicial system...

When said credentials have been leaked elsewhere, they aren't "proper" anymore.

FB doesn't just randomly reactivate accounts... If your account comes back, it was probably compromised. Spammers and scammers look for deactivated accounts because i will be longer until they are discovered...

You would prefer inaccurate information to no information?

Please dont take this as an insult, but you are saying you'd rather be stupid than ignorant...

You can use VIM to kinda feel like you're in emacs but not be quite in emacs or vim... just a confusing middleground...

So you saw a previously existing library and literally just stepped all over its name confusingly? That's just plain rude.

Its one think to differentiate between $40 and $300, of course.

Its another to list actual prices of various products side by side in a comparison chart, that data becomes stale real fast and is factually inaccurate at that point.

There is a vast difference in saying "For $500 I expected more" and saying "Product a works out to $4 per plumbus and product b works out to $3.50 per plumbus and product c works out to 3.75 per plumbus" ... that data becomes factually misleading as soon as one of those prices changes.

Can anyone explain why it seems like so many new languages are reinventing things that seemingly have little effect, but they seem to be changing them "just because"

We have comments in code for decades now. // and /* */ are easily the bigest standard, with # coming in second. Why '--' in this language? Why "``" in another language i saw recently?

I cant imagine this gives any real benifit to the coder or the compiler, and it seems to be more difficult because now the IDEs have to be configured for a(nother) new comment type, it has be become muscle memory again, its yet another "common ground" peice of code that requires context switching to change between languages...

I get doing new things with the functional features of a language, im all for trying new things and seeing what works... just seems wierd to have so many ways to comment code... such an insignificant part, why change?

If the rules are to not include pricing information and you include pricing information, how do you possibly get upset over it being taken down?

Reviews are long-lived, that pricing info is probably out of date in a few months, but the review will live on for a while, and lead to confusion (Especially since, I assume your reviews were well written, giving them more credibility, and thus leading to more confusion)

There is also the problem of confusion over price of a product and its legal implications... if you go to a store that relies on box stickers for pricing, and the stickers only have a price, and there isa box there with a wrong (lower) price on it, the store has to sell it at that price in most states... im sure the law wouldnt kick in over a comment, but you cant blame amazon for guarding against the swarm of people who's sole purpose in life seems to be to get one over on other people

back button works :)

Do you really feel so entitled that you're upset at a person asking for support at the end of a video?

They wont do that. They feel entitled to the content. They feel entitled to someone else's work for free but only in the format they demand.
