I suggest building reading lists baed on a list of Nobel Prize winners for the subject.

Just saying they generally don't gollow through. Selling off a company would fall under this umbrella. Boston Dynamics anyone. Google is basically the head "mean girl". Bitch will drop you in a second if you're cramping her style.

No doubt it is now. I was speaking as to future uses.

One major perspective this and similar articles do not consider is all the non energy uses of coal and petroleum. Burning petroleum for ebergy is hardly it's only use. Look around you at all the plastics. Even coal has great promise as a building material. Think carbon fiber and, well all the different permutations of materials that carbon rich ore can be made into.

The tenor of your comment is not cool.

Infra-red cameras are used in the LeapMotion controllers. I don't think it is anything special about the spectrum however, coupled with Infra-red lights it's an easy way to cut down on the noise in the comtrollers field of view.

Hola, thx for response! 2nd episode of 2nd season. I'd also read those interviews, and so decided to give the second season a shot based on them. However, the first couple of episodes seemed to double down on the "homage". It sounds like I should give it another couple of episodes, so will do. But, I just can't help but be turned off by the breadth and depth of similarites. But, will give episode 3 and 4 a shot.

Are you aware Fight Club was first and foremost a book? If you've had the opporto read the author's other books you'd likely distinguish a vein of an original artistic contribution that run through his material, straight through to Mr Robot. I'm speaking specifically of the philosophy here. So to also adopt the plot and style so heavily, I just can't.

So for someone to dismiss out of hand with so little consideration, as you did, the artistic licence which was taken with the material in this instance, and then to follow-up without considering my follow-up comment, that is condescending in its own right. To right off the other's thoughts so glibly.

And sorry, but working in the gaming industry does not give someone authoritative rights on being able to call out a rip-off. It's possible you missed something here. In which case it might not be the worst thing in the world to fully consider the other person's arguments prior to responding to the comment by simply stating you hadn't changed your position. A very dismissive response.

You responded way to fast to have actually googled that, brw. There is no way you fully considered what I put forth.

You say inspiration, I say rewrite.

Good god man. You asked that question? Movies rip-off books, books rip off real life, tv rips off movies. Format doesn't stop one from appropriating material.

Just google Fight Club and Mr. Robot. There are plenty of interviews with the creator of Mr. Robot where he explicitly discusses the Fight Club connection. Straight from the horses mouth.

I don't have a problem with referencing other works, but it's got to the point of a simple rewrite.

Fight Club: A prototypical, disillusioned male worker with daddy problems has a psychotic break causing him to make an imaginary friend, and this immaginary person pushes him to destroy all debt records to set everyone free to have a fresh start. In order to do this they start an undetground club that collects members who band together to accomplish this task, who are not totally in the know regarding the immaginary friend. In the process one of the main members of thr club is shot in the head and dies. There is a woman who has a very close relationship to the main character, who is central to plot development, who is portrayed as being very antisocial and rowdy.

I could go on. Sound familiar?

And just yesterday someone on HN didn't understand why the recent Google messaging apps weren't being more widely adopted.

It's clear the public wants some assurances around privacy, or at least transparency where it is lacking. Not to mention, this is the umpteenth product they are planning to deprecate, uh, I meant launch (Grand Central, Voice, Wave, Talk, Hang Outs, etc).

Sorry, rip-off from Fight Club is just too obvious and sustained. No can do.

I want... 1) a thicker phone, so I can grab it without the grip feeling precarious, and because it has a super-sized battery that easily lasts ll day and all night. 2) 2 cameras, yes, but specifically for depth perception, because omg all the amazing programs I could write! 3) waterproof, cause I like pulling my phone out in the rain and I'm a klutz.

Cause people be sane.
