It never fails to amaze me how many non technical people - run of the mill (fill-in-a-word) people are on "hacker"news.
The person who said that he was an idea person who executes ideas all the time that it was stigmatized by morons is right.
In programming in particular, coming up with "ideas" and executing them immediately in your programming is pretty much a constant. And it's arguably what hacker, a real hacker, means by definition of word.
My experience is people who don't appreciate ideas are the first to plagiarize them, steal, or cover it up. In fact, its arguably what a lot of current big companies that are stagnating the country are running on. Advice - make sure you have no people in the company you make that think that way. Make it part of the interview - give them an opportunity to say the acceptably stigmatizing thing, and then eliminate them.
Well, maybe first they will appeal to "the we", "the collective", "the identity", or the will of the emperor. Then it will descend into the superstition after the dictatorship.
I much prefer the Christian religion to that, even if I weren't a believer. Mob rule and government rule - dictator rule is just an extension of "we" rule - and who is we and who gets to say? And that is, after all, what this article is about.
Atheists are immoral, because it's an illogical premise, proving a negative, and in the face of lots of evidence at that. That's why athiests always turn to insults, they have no argument - much like the message this is in response to.
Agnostics, deists, and free thinkers are another matter. But from the outset, an atheist proclaims himself as someone irrational with nothing to say.
Another article I see where a bunch of non-Americans are going to comment on an article which was obviously written for an American perspective (and afterwards a western one), all the while pretending to be Americans.
I don't mind disagreement. However, I have come to loath the anonymous nature of most of the internet, while the in thing is to comment on someone elses life anonymously while claiming to be in it. Most of the people commenting aren't you neighbors, or even your countrymen. It's 100 fake responses, with zero trust or authentication.
I hate the term "pentest", but apparently people who want lingo over the ability to do anything have won out over the decades. Besides being a meaningless inaccurate shortening of the phrase, an actually "pen test" would be part of putting a pen register on a phone. It just indicates that the newbies who created the term didn't know anything before.
I remember when they took over outpost.com, and then mucked it up. Went from overnight shipping, and in my case sometimes 3 hour shipping (and this was almost 20 years ago), to nothing.
They've mucked up so many of my online orders through the years that it feels like they messed up every one of them. From bait and switch, cancelled orders, to cheap chinese knockoffs, not as advertised. And the 2 month - 2 MONTHS wait on backorders, over and over.
This from outpost that could deliver in 3 hours. And fry's still owes me a $20 rebate, from a "different" company that was oddly enough just next to them in actual address.
