It's not stupid at all. By giving into the racket, Netflix demonstrated that it's not a technical issue at all, so that argument no longer flies. It's clear that the ISPs are capab…

The leaker can always visit the SSL site via Tor, which would solve the problem.

They're actually hurting their current customers, those that can't get a text message through to their lost Apple brethren. Shame on them for having traitors in their flock, I gues…

Sure, I'd just say that Go has been extremely stable since before 1.0 (~2 years). Author's point was that we should not use "not good" languages for the fear that we might be stuck…

Every single thing listed in the article can be added to Go at any point, since it currently has a very minimal feature set. Once something like generics are added, they have to su…

That definitely helps, though you can't use it to introduce new variables with the := syntax: if buf, err := json.Marshal(make(chan int)); err != nil { fmt.Println("Ehh..", err) re…

I appreciate the inline if-else statements. I'm so tired of having: if err != nil { return err } Take up 70% of all lines in a function.

All bought (or they tried) by Facebook. That's the one data point.

You might be surprised to learn that in the trademark law, common words like "paper" or "candy" can be used by multiple companies without them infringing on each other while "Coca-…

".. with as much money as the city spends on programs to help them.." - that's pretty much the answer right there.

Amazing how the old is new again. Welcome back, CGI! I hope everyone's aware that this is just a toy and should never be used to do any real work, because most command line tools w…

That sounds like a pretty good thing.

Other things can improve when you're not stressed and struggling on minimum wage (or not wage at all).

Did you read the article? It is exactly that, a wage for being a swiss national (and alive). The title's a bit sensationalized because.. well.. fucking news can't get people to cli…

Remind me, what year is this again?

And at one point this relationship is better described as "not friends" rather than "friends". It's typically mutual so I don't see a problem here.

Why on earth does every kid need to learn how to build websites?! Their heads are already being stuffed with useless stuff that is of no interest to vast majority of kids. Expose t…

I don't know if I'm ok with using 83% (125/150) of all my Monkeysphere slots on "work".

You're reaching.

I find it disconcerting that a significant portion of those invited are simply "too busy" to attend. Wouldn't you WANT human rights activists to stir trouble instead of avoiding it…

Irregardless of that, the reply to OP's comment is representative of the attitudes that are common of HN. Sometimes I feel people just disagree and take apart anything for no other…

No, it's only about his choice of HK. Expect more articles from SCMP with very little factual content. Gotta milk those pageviews!

Please quote the what you think is the relevant part from [3]. I can't find any suggestions like that.

Hashing the code wouldn't help. In fact, nothing besides simply not processing any transactions would.

Compare who has more influence and therefore potential for harming the public - two dealers with $200k or a crackhead mayor of a city with 2.6M inhabitants.
