A 16 pack of extra-strength paracetamol, which is more than enough to kill you in one sitting, is 65p at Tesco. Do you really think someone intent on killing himself will look at a…

Hanlon's razor applies here. There is no reason any company of any size should run out of IPv4 addresses internally, IF they are doing proper IP management. If I were to wager a gu…

10%?! 10% is huge. So we should assume presumption of guilt with a 10% error rate? If 10% of all planes crashed, you would never set foot on one. For comparison, the chance of dyin…

Who made YouTube judge and jury? Let's say, for the sake of argument, YouTube demonitized all Irish because they unilaterally decided they're all plonkers and they're a private com…

That's generally the premise behind "innocent until proven guilty in a court of law", as opposed to "guilty whenever the histrionic internet mob and its tech enablers deem it so".

How is that any different or of more concern than any other ISP in existence? And the solution is to route all traffic through Google - an advertising company quite literally renow…

Yes we should all be worried about the local coffee shop who can barely make payroll manipulating our network traffic. Fortunately we can now proxy all traffic through an internet …

You could get to the truth by reading between the lines in the whistleblower report after they fired Mudge, whom Jack brought in as an infosec consultant. I'd suggest reading it, i…

He means they were overpaid wankers who went to the office to mostly socialize and take advantage of free gourmet food. This isn't hyperbole, these people proudly documented it on …

A professional athlete likes to lie down with ladies? Say it isn't so.

I've read Richard's blog (his "political notes") and I come away with a feeling that his extreme politics at the very least clouds his thinking, if not directly influences it. The …

By enterprise he means non-webshit industry.

Because mushrooms are NOT "super high in protein". A comparable serving of beef has about 12x the amount of protein as mushrooms.

Indeed, many programs interpret a kill -HUP signal as a "re-read config" command.

From afar, Caddy is one of those weird HN cargo cults. It seems like in every thread about web servers, the developers are in here peddling their wares, and the disciples pour in w…

If an exploit is used in a forest, and no one's around to hear it....

Except when it doesn't. I've had versions of Mac OS fail with AirPrint printers (spits out pages of garbage) that required manual tweaking and setup. The bug was in Mac OS not the …

AirPrint isn't magic. It's just PostScript with DNS-SD bolted on top.

ICE cars aren't supposed to explode nor are EVs supposed to burst into flames via inextinguishable battery fires. But sometimes they do. We don't use this outlier data to refer to …

This is false. They're not supposed to leak. "Replenish gas reserves" is not a regularly scheduled maintenance item. In fact it's illegal for a technician to add refrigerant more t…

Sounds like FUD. A properly installed AC leaks nothing because it is by design a sealed system. I wonder if they feel the same about refrigerators. These same smooth-brains are pro…

The Leaf is a glorified golf cart, it is not comparable to a Toyota family car.

"Struggles to master" sounds like propaganda / smear piece to me. For a country that is clearly NOT ready for widespread EV adoption outside of enthusiasts. Maybe they have the for…
