The trends for HS and Dropout are also negative. To me it implies education across the board is getting worse (assuming IQ is a good measure of “good” education).

> But most people aren't YouTubers. In my experience, people who aren't into tech usually have no idea their upload speeds are any slower than their download speeds, much less 25 t…

That’s interesting. I thought maybe it’s a resource constraint issue, where companies prioritise investment in other areas and do the minimum to “get certified” but it sounds like …

What a shame, HackerNews typically has more insightful comments than garbage like this. Edit: thanks to everyone who wrote some insightful responses, and there are indeed many. Fai…

From my understanding as a non security expert: Pentest comes across more as checking all the common attack vectors don’t exist. Getting out of bed to do the so-called “real stuff”…

The true failure is government. Mozilla shouldn’t have to lead this. The prosecutor should be the regulator.

No, because he is not telling you.. but he might tell someone he knows or cares about ? Or his descendants might find a reference to it or figure out it was him ?

Bringing up lack of access to sanitation hardly matters in this context. Almost everything can be deemed as not worth doing because we need to fix sanitation first. The author of t…

My guess is that it’s in response to the EU bill that will force them to allow other app stores on iOS, and they don’t want to lose developers. There is no way they would improve o…

Ironically if you linked your projects here, you would see more traffic :)

> made more money in hours than many free software You’re sad that free software didn’t make money ?

“Lost” can also mean - no longer exists. If someone says.. we lost 10 men in that battle, it doesn’t mean we never knew who they were.

No. It’s in Pakistan. Double check your map.
