Sorry to be dense. What does this have to do with Red Hat?

> nearly every bug can be be exploited in a malicious way This is a bit contextually dependent. "This widget is the wrong color" is probably not a security issue in most cases, unl…

Literally a couple decades like 20 years? I just don't think that could be true, at least not where I live. Looking at the listings in a broad radius around me, there is still a lo…

Oh this is the oldest trick in the book. If you need to greenwash, then just burn the coal somewhere else. Easy. Los Angeles has been doing this for decades - for years the largest…

In principle, if you got everyone to agree to it (and this would be a big if), this would probably be an interesting enough ticket that it might just win. Maybe. In practice, Romne…

Your example is a poor one, and does not represent the actual risk of money market funds. Customer assets at brokerage are required to be held by a 3rd party custodian. Customer as…

Most underrated comment.

> Utilities My landlord charges me $60/month for water/sewer. I pay about $120 for electric and gas combined most months. This is in an area of the country where it gets above 100F…

Seems like these job scheduling systems are a dime a dozen these days. Since we're an AWS shop, eventually my team ended up just building a system based on EventBridge and Fargate,…

> you can't buy [RAV4 Prime] unless you pay $10k markup Quite frankly, many people can't buy a RAV4 Prime at any price regardless of markups due to availability. My local dealer ju…

As someone that is currently in the market for a new car, I would love to get an EV, but I also don't have a good way to charge. Seems like most EV owners just charge at their hous…

> America is in decline I'm not agreeing or disagreeing, but can you be more specific about which metrics America is objectively declining at?

Just trying to understand, what do you mean by a "Mexican US Citizen"? When I read this originally, I was a bit confused why the child would not have been a US citizen as well by m…

Many states (by now) have already passed legislation to the effect that if/when the federal government allows it, they will simply stay on DST year-around. There are a number of bi…

It isn't GPL; I believe it is tri-licensed in BSD, MIT, and Apache 2.

I don't have an opinion either way on your position here, other than a fact check. Guido van Rossum (creator of Python) is a Distinguished Engineer at Microsoft. Before that, he wo…

Well, there are some nuances you're skating over here. Remember that GMAC Bank (the direct banking company) and GMAC ResCap (the mortgage/real-estate company) were two different en…

May I present you with "US Bank"? Whose web interface looks like it was designed by an angry intern in 1997. Then again, we're all sitting here reading on the minimal UI of Hacker …

I want to be okay with Capital One, but the day I tried signing up for an account (a few years back), their entire application for applying (their application application) had a me…

Yeah, I remember that. I never do a separate home partition though, so I ended up with the entire disk in Btrfs. I wasn't paying as much attention as I should have when setting up …

Agreed, Btrfs has been out for quite a while. I think it is only now beginning to become more widely accepted or noticed by the broader community, which is both a blessing and curs…

Over the last 15 years, I've run a lot of distros on a lot of different hardware. On desktop, Fedora has been by far the most reliable. Ubuntu LTS, as far as I can tell from using …
