Im sure you get ideas that are below your threshold for engagement... most people do until someone makes them aware and they have an “aha” moment.. Pick a topic, product, food, res…

Why am I not surprised that super-liberal Slate says my right to privacy should be overlooked because some idiot with an iphone wants to record every conversation? Pervasiveness-of…

Most likely, one of your competitors negotiated a deal where you were deplatformed as a condition. $57M over 13/14 years, or $100M right now... easy choice for Facebook.

Can’t view pages with iPad :( doesn’t recognize touch events, only mouse. But looks awesome!

The problem with HN is that elite ruling class gets to use its karmic position to punish everyone else for posts it doesn’t like, but the populous doesn’t have a say. What SHOULD h…

he’s not alive.

Why didn’t he use a binary protocol to convey his disdain for text protocols? Simply because nobody would understand it, which is the entire idea behind text protocols... and langu…

seriously people, quit posting paywalled content.

Tor does this, fwiw. https://www.torproject.org/ To clarify, you could run Tor on your existing vpn.

That depends on your personal health. 50% deadlier to someone with existing issues that make the more likely to have a bad outcome (death) is worse than 50% more transmissible. The…

while i agree this is overly complex given the simplicity of virtualenvs, there is something “pythonic” about encapsulating the environment in a container. I would suggest using al…

imho, front end first, then back-end, to be a well-rounded developer. Backend is so deep and so consuming, that knowing how what you do in UX will affect users on the front end is …

Tesla’s not worried... The apple car will cost $300k, only take you to “approved” or licensed destinations, and be replaced in 6 months with newer, “better” model with cooler featu…

sheer genius. Expect a cease-and-desist from Apple since (A) you don’t really own your MacBookPro, and (B) you didn’t use slave labor. Or did you? ;-)

Why anyone would buy new Apple products, arguably the most expensive products in any category, when they support these types of manufacturing slave-labor situations, is beyond me. …

The article wasn’t clear that doppler shift was accounted for, so a statement of fact that the signal was what it was can’t be made until doppler shift is accurately accounted for …

You mean, invasive as in humans? Invasive species are by nature Alpha, to the indigenous Beta. They don’t earn the right to stay, they take it, and it’s the indigenous Betas that m…

Agreed.. as an mvp, yes, but the platform you develop on probably does not offer you a non-disclosure, so anything you deem secret about it, isn’t.

I personally find coding to be a mental exercise that, at least for me, allows me to time travel. If I am engaged in the design of an algorithm, or set thereof, time passes very ve…

I’ve had code stolen by an employee who used it to start a competing service. I sued him in Federal court and won. You didn’t have your code stolen. Your code was free and open, an…

The real question should be: is there a clustering of purchases of those numbers for this draw that is different than the same numbers on other draws? If this was a planned scam, t…

The problem with this statement is that no computer can test 100B passwords against today’s authentication mechanisms in any meaningful way without being blocked or IP banned. A wo…
