You sound like you're arguing with me, but all of the rules you described seem to suggest that what the strikers did in this case was legal. They didn't blow up anything or steal a…

What a terrible analogy. This strike didn't hurt anyone, it cost the employer money, which is exactly what they're supposed to do! A strike that doesn't cost money isn't a strike, …

The underlying assumption here, that there are some areas that decided to lockdown and others that didn't, and each had different pros and cons, seems wildly inaccurate. The realit…

I can imagine that on a slow, lazy flip with a big coin, but is this realistic with what I think of as a "normal" flip, i.e. a US quarter, flipped rapidly end-over-end with the thu…

Watching Urbit through the lens of HN comments over the last few years has been utterly fascinating. The hatred it attracts is unmatched - no topic has reached the front page only …

I agree, and I would add that there is one good subjective way to measure the productivity of individual developers, and that is talking to their teammates.

> In 2017, Pai voted with his fellow Republican commissioners to remove rules that prohibited internet providers from blocking or slowing traffic to particular sites and offering h…

A number of commenters seem hung up on the actual measurement of information, which I think is a little ancillary to the point (which I think is valid). So I'll add that I think th…

There's a lot of risky investments. Anyone over 18 can bet their life savings on roulette. That has nothing to do with this. "Well other investments are risky too!" does not apply …

If it was possible to make millions of dollars by fooling naive people into misusing matches, matches would be regulated.

Lotteries, mortgages, and public securities are heavily regulated to make it nearly impossible to get ripped off. You can lose your life savings by buying AAPL, but you can't lose …

> Trail of Bits recommends using Curve25519 for key exchange and digital signatures... it is implemented in libsodium, which has easy-to-read documentation and is available for mos…

They did apologize, but not for the stuff Howard complained about. A: You kicked in my front door, walked in unannounced, and stole my TV! B: I apologize unreservedly. I should hav…

I'm dismissing it because it doesn't seem to contain any evidence of Joe Biden doing anything bad. It seems like someone hacked his kid's email, went through it for embarrassing st…

Who said it was fake? I assume that if it was fabricated, it would've been more substantial. But I'm not gullible enough to think Biden's kid's sex tape found its way to the media …

I read it, but did not see any new reporting. It makes a bold claim in the lede - "a de facto union of media outlets, Silicon Valley giants and the intelligence community to suppre…

If we knew that (let's say) the Mexican government was trying to (let's say) keep Taylor Swift from winning a Grammy, and then a video of (let's say) Taylor Swift's cousin kicking …

Oooh! What kind of sex? Which drugs? ...yes, that would be the salacious hearsay I was referring to. If there's evidence that Joe Biden did something corrupt, I'd like to see it, b…

It seems impossible to hold a strong opinion on this without reading the article, and in particular, seeing how it is sourced. The elephant in the room (which Greenwald barely ackn…

A former job of mine forced candidates to fill out a form for one of those abominable HR candidate tracking sites, maybe ICIMS, and I saw the following gem from one applicant: Q: "…

And specifically, few people want to join services that are mostly populated by people who got kicked off of other services.

The "ripple" of the graphene is described as thermal, i.e. brownian motion, so presumably this is not a closed system - i.e. the work dissipates a bit of heat from the graphene, wh…
