This is how you end up with extremists.

The Uber example is also an outright lie. They acquired those customers by burning billions of dollars to deliver rides below the cost of providing them. Then they raised prices be…

I agree! Your system is already heavily compromised if this is a problem for you. I think the real problem lies in a lack of visibility into the state of the device. A compromised …

I literally described my experience of booking a taxi before Uber. Many of the local services also had apps that showed the location of the car and a fixed price before Uber was av…

I don't agree that Uber was a better solution than taxis. They drove their competition out by offering rides far below the cost to provide them. Now they're more expensive than wha…

The US will happily execute someone who could very well be innocent. Robert Robertson is currently alive on a technicality[0]. [0] https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/texas-set-ex…

Foreign bank account that isn't part of the scheme.

Virtually all of the built in commandlets have one or more aliases set by default. e.g. Get-ChildItem is aliased to "gci", "ls", and probably "dir" as well.

The main issue with ARC seems to be driver support in specific games, DX11 being particularly problematic. Intel basically have to catch up on the ~10-20 years of kludges that AMD,…

Everyone involved does a pretty poor job imo. The processors/chipsets seem to do what they're they're supposed to. However, it's far too easy for other parties to create a scenario…

4/5 might mean they're being more adventurous with their food. This won't necessarily suit everybody.

What do you think happens to the wealthy when the government does not ensure the majority of people are well fed and secure? Does the mob respect property rights?

> Honestly, I don't. First, perhaps it's small minded but I don't really feel responsible for every human on the planet, or even a significant percentage. Do you expect them to res…

Gitlab's biggest issue has always been their ridiculous approach to pricing. It simply isn't worth paying ~20-30x more per developer than comparable tools. Feature segmentation can…

They're not really designing the item though. They're paying a drop-shipping manufacturer to print/etch a graphic or text into a white-label item. It's so little effort that the pl…

It wasn't really a landslide though. The winners only received ~1.5٪ more votes than their previous "disastrous" result. The gains were largely due to the incumbent Tory votes bein…

Not OP but the "-Object" commands are pretty fundamental to creating useful pipelines: Select-Object - Pick out specific fields from an object, create calculated fields etc. Where-…

> This is peak HN: getting accused of being "disingenuous" for making a glib comment complaining about too many "fixed typo" and other trivial commits in a git log. Making snarky c…

Sadly, we didn't end up implementing it ourselves. Release notes were a "nice to have" so it became one of those things that gets kicked down the road. The primary advantage of the…

I've seen the same thing done within the ticketing system. It's useful when you might want non-developers to contribute to the notes. Being able to dedicate a tag, field, or work i…

I think it serves a few potential purposes: It provides a solid, accurate draft that can be expanded on when targeting non-technical users. I've often found that lack of visibility…

This feels like a fairly disingenuous interpretation of how this gets implemented. Normally, commits must match a particular pattern to be included. Those that start with "feat:" m…

Nationwide actually publish data about the monthly mortgage payment to take home pay ratios of first time buyers[0]. Compared to Q1 2014, repayments accounted for a lower proportio…

Interest rates get brought up every time this topic is discussed and the math remains the same. Even accounting for the difference in interest rates, people are much worse off toda…
