It's hard to invest much interest in the opinion of someone on a subject they've literally devoted their lives to knowing as little about as possible, to such a degree they live a life entirely isolated from it.

I cannot for the life of me fathom how you think this is okay. I've worked in far less stringent environments than I would expect from Equifax and we would never have allowed a vulnerability like that to last a few days, let alone mont

Maybe this isn't a problem we should be trying to solve with computers right now, then. We've managed to survive as a species and as a western society for years making these kinds of determinations using people, maybe we should co

Did you not read the parent comment? Not everyone works for a tech-savvy Silicon Valley company where people just breezily swap out it tech every few months.

The dystopian aspect is ceding to computers rather than humans the fundamental decision making in our lives. Just because it hasn't gone full Brazil doesn't mean we're not hurtling towards it.

Are you asking what we think the chances are the literal supporters of the long-dead German party are going to "take over" the US? Because if so that's a strawman and you know it. If you really want to set it up as a dichotom

They were also magical when they were announcing new, incredible features instead of small iterative improvements.

You and your family also don't exist in a vacuum - you benefit from the society you seem content to watch crumble around you so "your" money (a government created instrument) you made at a job that wouldn't exist without

I love C but this whole thread highlights a lot of the criticism of it. Everyone's right based on some standard or switch, and everyone's wrong for the same reason.

You're basically arguing against every movie rating system ever invented. As are the studios.

This is completely wrong on so many levels it's breathtaking. You do realize (prettt sure you do) that you're making a case that any amount of physical resistance should be reasonably met with deadly force?

I don't think it is? He said: > Your Kenwood may not support the higher quality codecs, meaning it would sound worse than a comparable headphone jack aux cable. That implies there's BT audio codecs that sound the same (or I gue

And then have it (the city) by the balls forever, to the detriment of the human inhabitants who are supposed to be the ones in charge of deciding what government does.

Effective rate, or published rate?

Even the best codecs used for BT audio are lossy, aren't they? So wouldn't an aux or lightning connection always sound better?

How the hell did we go from realizing massive enterprise software was a bad deal to suddenly embracing it all over again? Not that stuff like Oracle and Salesforce ever went away, but I seriously don't understand why small companies bu

This is what Americans want. Anti-car zealots need to stop thinking you're going to pack the entirety of the country into trains and buses. It's not going to happen, so stop trying to make things painful for the 80%+ of Americans

"It's just the market" is such a lazy reply. Did entrepreneurs not like making money back then? Or did they realize that a healthy society was just as important as healthy companies?

It's funny looking at the time lapse of the UI and watching white space grow like a contagion across the screen.

The fact that he possesses no physical key is the crux of the matter. Any metaphor that tries to use objects like keys is pointless - there would be no controversy if there was a physical key.

It's like sexing horses, I imagine. "Yep, that's a male."

HN: where commenters gleefully carry water for companies doing their best to spin naked profit motive as a customer benefit, most often by mocking the legitimate complaints of their peers.

In my experience Agile is most prevalent where the engineering culture is the weakest. When engineering culture is strong and effective, it's unnecessary. Where engineering is simply the business side's bitch is when you end up wi

Anytime a story or study like this comes out I can always visit the HN comment section to find armchair economists pooh-poohing it. It's like clockwork.

I'm sorry but that's just awful advice. Just because you don't have control over something doesn't mean you can't foresee it and take appropriate action to protect yourself in advance.

Don't persist the stream. The problem gets a lot easier if you stop thinking of a message bus as a data store.

I don't think that's true, about low priced tickets. What you actually mean is that once companies collude to create a situation where it's virtually impossible to compare one flight to another, or one airline to another, by
