In Brazil's case, as least, it's simpler than that. Mosquito eradication used to be done at the federal level, with military like organization. It kept things in control. A few yea…

While you're right that as a judge you must respect the law, we as a society must re-evaluate it's usefulness and purpose. You're looking at this the other way round. It's not that…

It's surprising how much of it relates to food delivery (the largest group, in fact). Wrote my take at how the it's distributed here https://medium.com/@arthurdebert/2abb1df33f6d

Has nothing to do with Java. There's no stack. They're simply chose the best Javascript compiler available. Pretty simple, really

You're 100% right. It's just that security is so hard to get right. Only (maybe not even) the paranoid survive on that front. All it takes is one tiny detail to screw everything up…

Sorry. Here's the dissonance: we're building tools (including secure messaging) that are government snooping safe. We care deeply about the privacy and security of our users. And t…

Thanks, that's a start. And of course, sorry for the misspelling. In all seriousness, it would be more helpful if you'd mention what's wrong with the original article. Since you se…

Anyone with any experience in the SEO world knows that dchuck doesn't have a fucking clue anymore. He's no different than a talking head reporting on the daily ups and downs of the…

Not always, i.e. drag along rights. Depending on how you structure your deal investors can override founders on acquisition offers.

Pagination does have it's advantages, namely: - Linking - Easier to grok where you are in the result set ( 3 out of 5 instead of the scroll bar that changes height)

It is language and written language that enables people to be connected and share ideas. There's no reason to credit specific networks like www or the internet with connecting peop…

I'm definitely not advocating for people not understanding the problem they want solved. That said, your post sounds empty. Can you elaborate on why your own scrapers that you writ…

EXIF metadata is easy to automate. What if there is a logo of a local business reflected on a surface that most people barely notice. Someone recognizes this, tracks the person dow…

People have been able to track people and locations surprisingly little information. What if those photos do leak information that could enable real-life harassement (like EXIF met…

Simple: public transportation sucks and will probably take twice the time to get to your destination. Motorbike: you have no idea how madly people drive down here, and how many mot…

I don't think the point is that they fail, but how easy for them it is to get money (then later valuations) without having users nor revenue. That is what worries people when they …

We at http://www.universalsubtitles.org/en/ have. The code is open source https://github.com/pculture/unisubs/tree/dev/media/js/widget . I'm writing a blog post about that should b…

Anyone running anything remotely serious on AWS should have 2 factor auth enabled I hope

Also look that the stage (canvas) size for the demo (this used to make a big difference in older versions of the player at least).

This is how much of the world see Americans

I find it ironical to read this comment on HN. What's the fuss about HN? What aren't we having this discussion on redit, or digg, or 4chan? Or metafilter? Software and specially so…

I think for the general case yes, but there are still some rough spots on certain hardware (e.g. power management on macbook pros and so on). Some other smaller things, like attach…

The issue is not that one would like to tinker, but that without a significant time investment tinkering, you can't get the basics working. Nothing precludes the OS from being tink…

It's possible but that probably doesn't mean integration is easy. Writing async code in python forces you to use the-twisted-way or the-greenlet-way. That is the problem with langu…
