Hi all. I'm an EU med/senior DevOps developer. I currently have a stable job in UKI but I've been considering the possibility of remote working. Reason for this is that for various…

We're totally off topic here, so just a few clarifications: 1. Yes, I do not know what happened to Reddit and Digg. Where these sites though as clearly focused as HN? HN is clearly…

Interesting. The argument in the first paragraph: HN is getting extremely left-wing liberal The examples in the second paragraph that are supporting the argument: cops protecting c…

So -according to Landsea- IPCC (an international scientific organization) is moving in ways that are more political than scientific. Weird and disturbing. Weird because I'd expect …

That's a highly political (i.e. lots of beating around the bush) resignation letter. What's his point exactly? That IPCC has vested interests in fear mongering or what? And what ex…

I'm not a climate scientist myself but the consensus seems to be that we're past a lot of tipping points already. Some even go as far as write us off altogether. In any case the st…

Third (and last) try to see if the HN crowd gives a shit

Just curious to see whether anyone gives a sh1t

Am I converting wrong or the ticket to the conference actually is 950,830942 Euros ?

And EFF "happened" to find out about that just in the midst of Ukraine crisis. How fitting.

http://theoatmeal.com/comics/tesla yes - and we should we give a f.ck about Edison's views? The man was no better than a lowlife

There's been a lot of noise on the internet recently about the fact that the Windows-based software being used in the remote control system of drones use by the American military h…

RT happened to have the longest and most full presentation of the interview that I could find in a minute. I originally saw this in Free Software Magazine which linked to this piec…
