What’s that noise? That’s you getting lynched by those of us who work for a living.

It’s best to stay away from broadly controversial topics that attract masses of non-experts. These people have no idea what reasoned debate is all about, so there’s no point in sub…

The issue is, as stated: > I am actually a bit worried that I’m already starting to see search engine traffic coming in... We can discuss hypothetical systems that could maliciousl…

You could put up a robots.txt denying all search engines.

Capitalism has everything to do with it: a commercial entity fires people on a whim, whereas public school teachers basically cannot be fired. The NYC public school system is full …

In a capitalist society, I will see in a negative light any statement or action that negatively impacts my livelihood. I don’t care if the most vocal activists think that it’s “rig…

Anyone building out a setup based on cgroups and namespaces will eventually arrive at a poorly specified, bug ridden mini Docker. Might as well get with the program early.

I don't look inside my personal e-mail inbox unless I'm expecting to receive a message at a particular time: "click on the verification link we sent you" and variations on the them…

Plastic is a great material for some uses, but it’s also a very durable material. I’d love to purchase shampoo in the form of a refill of the plastic shampoo bottle I’ve already pu…

The story of Docker, Inc should be read as a cautionary tale to those who think that every random bit of open source should be “monetized” by seeking rent for its continued use and…

How's this better than https://twitter.com/climagic ?

It's not normal and shouldn't be allowed to become some dystopian new normal.

When the reckoning comes, the secret passageway won’t suffice.

This isn’t the future for my family or for any family with children. I grew up in a communal apartment in Russia, and let me tell you how suffocating it was to exist day in and day…

Self-delusion is a helluva drug.

Cargo ships get attacked & hijacked all the time. There exist some shipping lanes where such risks are well known. In fact, US Navy ships regularly patrol such shipping lanes in an…

Protecting privately owned power plants at all costs is just another manifestation of the "too big to fail" mentality. If the comparison doesn't seem immediately relevant to you, s…

My point is that the government shouldn't be itching to get itself in the business of retaliating against foreign attacks on non-government entities. Eventually the attackers and t…

The DNC is not an institution of the US government.

(1) is a great option to have on this type of ballot because it'll signal that NYers really do want Amazon to do business here. If most people voted to "do nothing", that'd be a st…

The folks who have signed this open letter don't represent average New Yorkers. I live in New York, yet no one ever asked me how I felt about this Amazon thing. This should have be…

In case of being stricken by an incurable disease, I'm going to die anyway. I'm sure my people will understand my choice to make a graceful exit before illness takes away any shred…
