I am one of the many that only goes to HN when a major service appears down (usually AWS)

It seems like Japan (not a corrupt government) helped eradicate polio in the country Nigeria in exchange for some amount of debt from Nigeria. I'd think the Gates' foundation would…

That's a (self-admitted) assumption made by @Hellchick. The Facebook post in question could have been relegated off of feeds for a different reason.

From about 100 packages, I've had a handful come past the "guaranteed date", one that was entirely wrong (someone else's items), and worst of all, one that was missing an item that…

>As far as wear and tear on the highway... Right or wrong, I don't think you have to defend that point. The government sets these parameters under which you (or truckers) do busine…

Seems to be working fine now.

I also could not get it to work on two separate domains. Everything seems fine, and I was able to renew the certs with LE just now. I believe all my DNS records look fine, and I ha…

To me, no part of that article was that surprising (impressive nonetheless) except for the $6500 headlight repair from "driving through deep water". Wonder how exactly that happene…

For those who like videos, I would highly recommend utilizing Andrew Ng's Coursera ML videos for step one. I found his lectures to be good high level overviews of those topics. The…

I think is about new Arduino products not being open source. Source files for old Arduino products are still directly available.

What did you think of it as? In my mind, this store is in no way associated with Trader Joe's, but sells exclusively Trader Joe's products (I've only been in it once); that made it…

The guy clearly tried to position himself as a pseudo-Trader Joe's though. He called it Pirate Joes and only sold products from Trader Joe's. It seems like everyone thought of it a…

That article does not, but for the curious, an investigation into the deaths (involving parties from field experts to local police) has been "essentially closed" and it was determi…

It's not more convenient for Linux/FF/Chrome users to pirate. It can be a "better" option for those users to pirate if they absolutely need higher quality, but that's in no way mor…

Alternatively stated: decreasing the size of the oven wouldn't make a difference. If that was the case, this recipe would work in a small toaster oven. The inverse square law is fa…

Alternatively, decreasing the size of the oven wouldn't make a difference. If that was the case, this recipe would work in a small toaster oven. The inverse square law is factually…

Consider actively inspecting each "requirement" for relative importance. For example, I recently read a job posting where "experience with subdomains" was sandwiched between "requi…

I thought mail was firstly directed to a center dependent only on zip, and it's then further sorted. If the zip is correct, but a parcel ends up on the wrong side of the country, t…

I believe it was explicitly ruled in the courts that Youtube's automated captions were not up to the standard required by the ADA. Not sure where I read that, but it was probably o…

DigitalOcean's payment model is great for this. What you see is what you get without small charges or other fees. I vaguely remember Lightsail's release being met with poor feedbac…

For readers confused as I was, the Facebook post only says they're "looking at" better Linux support. The author buries in a comment a target for flawless Linux support[1]. But I'd…

I think a more apt description would be Snapchat was not designed for broadcasting. I wouldn't write it off because it wasn't meant for a purpose, or because its primary use is for…
