  1. Re:TypeScript best known ? on Compiling to JavaScript: TypeScript vs. Haxe · · Score: 1

    Exactly what I was thinking. CoffeeScript has 2x the hits on Github or SO as TypeScript making it the clear front-runner.

  2. Re:I know why... on Why Bill Gates Is Dumping Another $1 Billion Into Clean Energy · · Score: 3, Interesting

    You mean bundling a browser with an OS? Or copying Apple's UI? Eradicating polio doesn't balance that karma for you? Really?

  3. It's also the old normal. on Sociologist: Job Insecurity Is the New Normal · · Score: 1

    Aside from a few decades of prosperity following WWII things have been pretty rough for 99% of Americans all along.

    This will be better than skeet shooting because skeets don't drop loot when you kill them.

    No, Rosa just sat on a bus. She never really said anything.

    If corporations are people and money is speech, then Uber could be a modern day Martin Luther King.

  7. Re:So What on Genetic Access Control Code Uses 23andMe DNA Data For Internet Racism · · Score: 2

    I like your outrage, but I live in Asia, which means I can't see Netflix. *NETFLIX* - how about extending some of your outrage to me?

  8. There's another shocking health statistic on Study: Living Near Fracking Correlates With Increased Hospital Visits · · Score: 1

    The odds of being assaulted by a fracking rig crewman in those areas are 2000% higher than in other areas.

    They couldn't give her retractable claws while she was under?

  10. Nobody is saying it's not valuable... on Italian Court Throws Out TripAdvisor Fine Over Bad Reviews · · Score: 2

    But holding a small businesses reputation hostage is a dicey business model. And when dotcoms get so big that they cam lobby for favorable laws / rulings then the world becomes a scarier place.

  11. Why would Martian cities be far apart? on Does Elon Musk's Hyperloop Make More Sense On Mars? · · Score: 1

    It seems like they'd want to be close together. Unless they hate each other for terrestrial nationalist reasons. But once you're on Mars, you're a Martian. You're not coming back to Earth. So why not make friends?

  12. Re:Tax dollars at work. on Man Arrested After Charging iPhone On London Overground Train · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If an outlet is exposed in a public place, assuming it's fair game seems reasonable to me.

  13. Re:Your biggest screw up on "We Screwed Up," Says Reddit CEO In Formal Apology · · Score: 1

    It looks about right to me. Margin of errors and whatnot but it gives the right picture.

  14. Re:Logs ? on FBI Wants Pirate Bay Logs For Criminal Investigation Into Copyright Trolls · · Score: 3, Informative

    Piratebay keeps track of uploaders. What's stupid about that?

    And I never realized why they live in the sky, it was because of climate change!

  16. Re:alogrithms aren't racist on Google Apologises For Photos App's Racist Blunder · · Score: 1

    If it's racist for a person to say that black people look like gorillas, then it's racist for an algorithm to say so too. The definition of racist doesn't change depending on what you apply it to.

  17. How about driving traffic the old fashioned way? on Quebec Government May Force ISPs To Block Gambling Websites · · Score: 5, Insightful

  18. Re:In other words on Protesters Block Effort To Restart Work On Controversial Hawaii Telescope · · Score: 1

    A sovereign Hawaii wouldn't last a week. That's more deluded than the red state secessionists who think they'd be better off without the blue states subsidizing them. It would be interesting to see them try though.

  19. Re:A better compromise on Protesters Block Effort To Restart Work On Controversial Hawaii Telescope · · Score: 1

    The Louisiana Purchase took place without consulting the natives to that area. Should we give that back too?

  20. Re:ISP quasi-monopolies on Study: Major ISPs Slowing Traffic Across the US · · Score: 2

    There used to be alternatives to the big ISPs, but they've all been anti-competed out of business. And the US doesn't break up monopolies anymore, so not much chance of the situation improving.

  21. Let's not pat them on the back on DOJ Vs. Google: How Google Fights On Behalf of Its Users · · Score: 0

    It's clear that Google is operating on what they believe is their best interest. Obviously rolling over for the feds would be a PR nightmare. I'm not comfortable applauding corporations for protecting their bottom line and neither should anyone else be.

  22. Re: Nothing that money can't buy on Mauna Kea Telescope Construction Slated To Resume · · Score: 3, Informative

    Regardless, PR has much to gain from statehood and little to lose. Hawaii would be a 3rd word country with no health care (basically the Philippines) without statehood. PR's territory status gives it some protection, but just imagine getting treated like Cuba in the '50's. There's not much for PR to complain about.

  23. Re: Nothing that money can't buy on Mauna Kea Telescope Construction Slated To Resume · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Hawaii has gotten quite a bit out of the bargain. Statehood? Take a look at Laos or Cambodia or the Philippines and then tell me that Hawaii has now profited immeasurably. Even Puerto Rico wishes to be in Hawaii's shoes right now and they'd give up their most "sacred" landmarks in a heartbeat to do it.

  24. Re:Nothing that money can't buy on Mauna Kea Telescope Construction Slated To Resume · · Score: 1

    Ancient Greeks had great art and literature. Great culture. Hardly the same situation as Hawaii.

  25. Re:Nothing that money can't buy on Mauna Kea Telescope Construction Slated To Resume · · Score: 1, Troll

    It's not politically correct but I agree. There's nothing interesting in Hawaii's native culture that deserves protection. A culture with no art or written language deserves to be forgotten. There's just nothing there. Totem poles? Ok that's a "Brady Bunch" episode I guess but pure speculative superstition with no objective merit. 20th century cave paintings if you ask me.
