"does the fact that mr. crocodile eats small, flightless birds invalidate his argument that he can get me (a small, flightless bird) across the river faster than i could do so alone?"

I didn't say 'show me an example of how motivations can invalidate an argument', I am talking about this particular example - how does Epic et al's desire to make money invalidate their argument that Apple has a anti-competitive monopoly on the app store?

A small, dingy window into the world of dyspeptic 40+ y/o's. And a few good reads, here and there.

God please no.

heavy on vitriol, light on substance. fun to read if you don't ask questions.

idk man, but it's probably safe to drop the "who can code" part of the question.

Title is misleading. Doubt OP (using a throwaway account) even read the comments; great work.

The hackernews re-titling of the article is pretty horrendous too. The title is "Is gender inequality in technology a good thing?" is considerably more controversial than "autism and gender imbalance in tech"

ah yes, "the vietnam of computer science." a classic. never forget. can't wait for "the holocaust of programming." heard good things about "ethnic cleansing and compiler theory" too.

keep us posted.

Don't forget the "9/11 of algorithmic complexity".
