Why would you trust Google with that though?

Forget software, think about every other industry where IP is important to protect R&D. Car manufacturers, machinery, trains, planes, etc. And it's not just the US being hit, it's …

Considering how rampant racism is in law enforcement (not even just in the US) as well as recent events in the US, I would actually say yes. It's "righteous punishment" for not sub…

After seeing plenty of discussions on HN where people expressed how they'd rather keep using Zoom despite 1) clear security issues and 2) the development teams living in China, I d…

China stealing IP was a concerning issue in the past 2 decades and it's still an ongoing issue. Yet now we have companies willingly handing over data to a CCP-controlled entity. I'…

Guys, guys, it's fine. According to everybody on HN who's so eagerly embraced Zoom and continued to use it even after the security issues, the only thing that matters is that Zoom …

Hah, it's probably possible, but awesomewm's documentation for this kind of thing isn't great. I've looked into it but was put off by the complexity since I don't have that much ti…

His book is from 2016, which I assume was referencing the 2014 high. https://whyy.org/articles/complaints-excessive-police-force-... > With about a month left in 2017, 15 complaint…

I moved to awesomewm a few years back and I absolutely love it. I can open half a dozen terminals at once and they'll all automatically be ordered in a way that's immediately usefu…

I'm not sure why people always jump to such extremes. When I see "defunding", I see something more like Camden, where they fired all the police officers and hired non-union to form…

It's not necessarily a question of "will this work at all?" but rather a question of effectiveness. Numerous studies have shown that retrieval practice is generally more effective.…

I'm not sure you read the article with good faith. After the penny example, he goes on to talk about how important retrieval and exertion is to solidifying memories. > Quizzing/tes…

> Repetition can be incredibly useful. I can't imagine memorizing vocabulary or simple facts (when was FOO born?) without repetition. Of course, actually using the facts (or vocab)…

I don't know exactly what US anti-trust law says, but German anti-trust law also considers what kind of power you have over competitors and suppliers to decide whether you're behav…

The comments here are weirdly anti-science. There've been plenty of discussions about coronaviruses being a potential threat over the years. Given the proximity of bats to major po…

And I look at all the games that are massively improved because there are mods and fixes and I say, it's not worth the cost. I'm not willing to sacrifice the ability for us to impr…

I seriously hope these cloud gaming services don't become successful. It's basically giving up all control to publishers and the platform. Say goodbye to mods, fixes, save game edi…

This is a pretty damn cool idea. Do you only use this at home? I'm thinking about how I would use this when I'm not home, I guess the wifi hotspot on my tablet would suffice?
