diverging

Do it too long and your culture starts diverging from the main and connecting with new people is like crossing a river.

One thing is for sure, there is a ton of diverging opinions about the Euro and the sovereign debt crisis.

From the ISPs perspective, Netflix's needs are diverging from a typical free peering arrangement. The issue is, what triggers the costs?

This is just one manifestation of the diverging interests.

Maybe Ubuntu diverging a bit from other Linux distributions, and from GNU, will encourage people to write portable code.

After our group started diverging on total spend it because obvious it was getting unfair. Eventually we all bought tippman pro carbines and required the same paintballs be used and all on CO2.

The two are diverging, and I don't see how Google can remedy this. My guess is that Java 6 & 7 were modest enough that many developers of open source libraries thought it easy to support a profile that worked on Android.

And I think the root of the argument stems from the diverging convictions of two distinctly different camps of hackers. There are grease monkeys who love tinkering and see value in a tried-and-true tool that works everywhere.

I would like to cast a diverging opinion from my personal experience. For various work-related reasons I left Europe in early 2008 to live in Martinique, in the French West Indies.

Unfortunately "D" is diverging so much form C that it should completely replacing it to get mainstream: very unlikely given the role C is playing today and the code base. A backward compatible improvement is still what we need I think.

They are both hideous languages with myriad diverging features. Translating them into each other would either require extra runtime dependencies or obscene amounts of hideous code in either language.

I suspect most HNers will not be aware of their shared history, painful separation and subsequent diverging paths. That said, no country ought to be above international law, even when they are targeting hapless & innocent civilians of a failing or despotic regime.

It's also interesting in that even taking such a 'mundane' topic such as the sale of eggs, there can be widely diverging opinions and practices around how they are handled. Now compare eggs to something more complex and broader in scope like healthcare, taxes, etc and it really makes you wonder how we ever come to agree on anything.

IMO this is the only viable development model to allow free software to succeed since the remaining projects are huge in size and need concentrated efforts not diluted by diverging interests caused by a myriad of configurations." Can't say I agree, but I can see his point to a certain degree.

The group whose representation is most diverging from the population as a whole are Asians, who are hugely over-represented. Overall, the numbers show that Asians are over-represented, which may explain much of the under-representation by all other groups.

You have 2 things that are more and more diverging yet use the same platform for distribution: - websites as-you-know-them, which goal is to provide _information_ - webapps, which goal is to provide _services_ Your point of view is completely valid for the first kind: when you want the information, you don't want the frills that go around it. You want clear pointers to it in the form of clean URLs. You want it to be accessible on your smartphone that doesn't run javascript because it's heavy and has wildly different inputs.

I can understand diverging opinions, I can hardly understand inconsistency in a system of belief, so I'm very sad to see intelligent replies advocating this 1,2,3 argument while missing the huge downside #4 is. Maybe someday the sale of things containing "natural diamonds" will be banned - just like the sale of things containing bald eagles feathers.

I usually wouldn't reach out to recommend that one to clients because the maintenance costs of doing parallel development on three products steadily diverging from each other get quite considerable indeed, but if it works for your circumstances than awesome for you. If hypothetically you wanted to try this with A/Bingo without making in-line calls everywhere, it's possible, but not documented anywhere.

Sad testament to the state of the policy making process in this country that the most we can hope for to stop one terrible piece of legislation advanced by corporations to further theirs interests is for another set of corporations to oppose it to further their diverging interests.

Diverging paths for humans and transhumans lol, try replacing humans with middle-class and transhumans with ultra-wealthy sometime in the 22nd century the USA will pass the 10 percent mark for it's population in jail/prison as government prisons are defunded, private-prisons become even more profitable as inmates are forced to pay for their incarceration with labor for pennies per hour, and lawmakers are paid by prison-industry lobbyists to make more offenders - the supreme court rules that judges may own stock in prisons, etc. - TSA will be allowed to collect DNA samples during random roadblocks, etc.
