"deep for the sake of being deep"
It is babies first philosophy: the anime. Nothing wrong with liking it, the problem comes when people think it is deeper than it actually is. It is quaint when viewed through current affairs, and much like the article, absolute thesaurus bait pretending to be something more.
Just curious, but how scalable would this be? Is it a non-issue in your market segments?
Pure semantics. History has proven the slippery slope is real.
Furries? No thanks.
I have a hard time imagining something more destructive to the ability to run an organization
How about eroding public trust? I can think of a lot more. Perhaps your imagination is subject to a hidden bias.
I don't think that is necessarily "UNIX style". Just getting what you pay for with FOSS.
Her entire career has been politics. Releasing any information on her at any time can be suggestive of political motivation.
All the hand-wringing and pedantry in this thread, just to defend China and Apple.
Here I thought the NPC thing was just a meme.
As if the title didn't tell you everything you needed to know.
Welcome to Athens, Thucydides.
Exactly. It is a new form of informal control. Post-Occupy corporate culture had to adapt. Naturally the first adaptation is superficial signalling.
Operation Mockingbird never stopped.
The first one makes sense and impacts everyone, and I think the headline uses that to attract readers. Whereas the second is an externality and abstraction that not too many would care about. Another fine trait of journalism.
Putting the cart before the horse. Although I can see how it can become cyclical.
It is only worth what someone will pay for it. Not sure who said that first but it makes sense to me in this case. It makes me think of iconic images of Americana that may never have happened outside celluloid; the work-a-day folks streaming past a television shop, stopping to stare at the glowing screens and watching the news broadcast. Doubt this would happen if that opportunity for spectation wasn't free.
If it wasn't for the in-group signalling and prestige assigned by the aforementioned, I doubt many publications would be able to stick around on the merits of their content alone. Especially if they had to depend on the oft-maligned hoi-polloi such as myself for patronage.
Their platform, their rules. If you don't like it you can go setup your own global payment processor.
HN in a headline
The OP came from theverge. You might as well post things from politico or the thehill and tell people the same thing. Being disingenuous part of the mandate, or is that just the moderators?
