Unfortunate title; noncommissioned officers are sadly few and far between at tech companies.

Any suggestions for open engines with some similarity to the tools provided in Unity3d, Lumberyard/Crytek, or Unreal4?

The rage yes maybe, but Star Citizen is definitely not off topic. Article mentions WC1-3, it's a franchise article. SC is Origin's canceled Privateer Online [:)] without the licens…

Meditation and mindfulness can be used as a direct replacement for smartphone usage to kill time, in all such situations. Seriously, this is a very good thing to do. All those anno…

Strange position; you don't think the user already knew they were required to press the correct button? Your solution seems pretty passive aggressive. Be kinda like putting up a 'y…

> How come everyone wants to blame the system. Because if the system isn't fixed, it's just going to happen again. Surely you're not arguing that the system is without flaw?

It's not so much about changing the IP address, but moving the targeted system out from behind the clogged tube. Changing IP address may or may not do that.

For many, many DDoS scenarios this does not work. The spurious packets may saturate an upstream ISP, causing that ISP to unilaterally apply a null route or block for all packets fo…

You're staking out some pretty tough ground, there. Human error can be unconscious or reflexive, and that type of UI element is sometimes barely a speedbump, cognitively. Occasiona…

YouTube is just distribution. It's like crediting heavy trucks for winning WW2, or crediting YCombinator News's CDN for writing this witty and insightful message.

New for me, too. Looks like accelerationism is a bit of everything. Legitimate applied philosophy, I guess the communists were some early accelerationists. I feel like this is the …

I think you're right about that.

And their families are victims, also. You've got some good points, but your 'victimless' assertion is highly questionable.

> using heroine to intoxicate one’s self is very victimless. I have never used it, but have lost friends to it. How am I not a victim?

> > permanent 3-day stubble > I really want to know how to do this. My stubble goes from 0-day to 1-day to 2-day to 3-day and then back to 0-day... I achieve variable-length shaven…

That's a rather uncharitable read of my comment, obviously keeping kids away from awful Internet content isn't sufficient by itself.

> Is there any real need for controlling what a child can see and what he can not? Yes, and any sane parent would agree. Physical safety is a prime consideration. Here's a bunch of…

Good questions. Another I'd add is: are there any contractual/legal requirements preventing these intel subcontractors from proxying the full firehose to CIA? If so, it's possible …

How does one determine that two things are different, or similar, without comparing them? > RT is a Russian propaganda channel, it's not a foreign intelligence service I wonder if …

Senate Intelligence Committee has expressed concerns that Jack Dorsey is favoring the Russian government over the United States government. Senator Tom Cotton, CIA Director John Br…

Well, putting the text in the image file itself makes the text+image combo easily portable between services. It lowers the barrier for others to share the content, with their own t…

The articles makes points throughout, but one I found interesting was in the first paragraph. Zuckerberg acknowledging professional failings, suggesting FB does not consider itself…

> But he doesn't like SV because it's companies created anarchic platforms that allow unsavory people to buy and publish propaganda? Seems somewhat hypocritical for a writer of the…
