Doxxing? Not hardly. I typed in someone's username with "yelp" into google. Any hiring manager does that with prospective employees - why is it now verboten (and doxxing) to do wit…

You wanna see how scammy and nasty YELP is? Look further down and see my criticism of Google and Yelp, and who responds. User [keymone] criticizes my choices at going against Yelp.…

You want to see how scummy AND scammy Yelp is? Look no further than further up the thread with HN:keymone responding to me, dismissing how Yelp is an extortionist. Oh yeah, keymone…

(This post is copied so others can see this. Tl;Dr. User [keymone] is a developer at YELP. ) You've been consistently a bad actor here, regarding Yelp. So, I searched google with "…

You've been consistently a bad actor here, regarding Yelp. So, I searched google with "keymone yelp" (keymone is the HN username), and found the following: https://github.com/keymo…

I would accept the accusation of defense of vigilantism, but I only highlighted the issue. I see it as a "Pot calls Kettle Black", but I do not advocate a response, other than that…

Indeed, Google is too big and has a massive effect on the Internet across the whole world. A single capricious decision made by Google/Alphabet can cause dozens of businesses to sh…

Honestly, I'd say longer than that. The Democrats have very little impetus to do them either, given their corporate funding record. It's been about 30 years since the Democrats gav…

I like the better question: "What is a measurement?" What does the measurement actually entail? If a computer reads the contents, does that mean the computer is entwined with it? W…

Yeah, that may be true.. But Scihub is an onion site. That means there's not much in the way of "who", but in the way of last hop before hitting the onionsite. And I would daresay …

Speaking of this, Utamaro's artwork is featured in one of the Freer Sackler Smithsonian Museum of Art on the Mall in Washington DC. They have an extensive amount of his artwork on …

> Well, I can see that's a factor, but not necessarily an overriding one. As someone who's taught at uni myself (not pure maths) we are not usually that cynical or fond of serving …

My comment was a bit tongue-in-cheek. Who actually runs a single DB server, with no replication, no slaves, no nothing other than the primary? CA is the correct way to understand a…

What's that supposed to mean? If one wants to learn anything in the sciences, we things like MIT Courseware, Arxiv, Libgen, SciHub, and "canihaspdf" on twitter. Yes, these are prim…

That's not a valid criticism if you have intent and will to learn. As for your monads example, getting into functional programming via things like CLisp, Erlang, Haskell, and the l…

Sure. CA fulfills that requirement. Of course, you throw away any semblance of partition tolerance. Of course, a single machine guarantees there can be no partitioning, and really …

What you learned, is if you develop the automation, do NOT tell others that you did. And in your case, you should have implemented a time-delay from page-generation to page-creatio…

Yep, that's what I was trying to get at, but failed in my explanation. Everything's eventually consistent on an ever-present sphere around the incident expanding at the speed of li…

I don't think so. It's not hard to see the beginnings of a satellite communication platforms around the Moon and Mars. And once we start looking at the local solar system, we start…

Nope. Eventual Consistency seems to be the best policy. The constant "C" isn't changing (or if it is, it's not much). that means there's a definite amount of time for a DB to be co…

Perhaps you're right. But the content is about if CloudFlare will kick off booters off their platform. And he defends them, EVEN after saying they don't even pay. This isn't a "Sho…
