Whelp, we've sure entered into the twilight zone of digital privacy quickly. A month ago we were saying "15 days to flatten the curve", today we have MRAPS busting up protests and digital privacy continuing to circle the drai

I’m actually really relieved when the smartest person in the room (their words) leaves. We can have fun, drink beer, and share war stories without feeling judged by peers who haven’t spent enough time in self reflection.

Yes, 100% compliance is low. We already knew people weren't going to be 100% compliant. I would say it's close to 80% for most people right now, which is pretty darn good considering what's being asked of us. Thankfully our o

Have we considered that maybe we should take a personal responsibility in improving other people’s lives, rather than a corporate one? Why not find a factory worker with a family and offer him or her a portion of your salary?

The 70s and 80s were great times for failed predictions. There’s unfortunately never any accountability with this type of thing, and instead we have a slow erosion of trust and general apathy. https://cei.org/blog/wrong

I’m glad to see this again. This patent is the first thing I thought of when the “UFO” admission news hit last week. I’m guessing what we’re seeing is probably some experimental stuff. Hopefully it’s our stuff.

We were able to refi, and now officially pay less for mortgage and taxes then we would pay to rent the same home.

Almost 40.000 die in traffic accidents year after year in the USA and there’s barely a peep about that. Everything about life requires risk.

What you’re saying is true for all major cities in the country.

Why would the government need to order that?

That would have taken care of the message parsing, but the team would still need to do the concurrency work, get it debugged, and working. Also Java is not nearly as easy to deploy on-prem as Go.

Considering they got it working so quickly, I think they made the right choice.

Thank you for the feedback. I changed it to the more accurate term “head of the household”

by 3fe9a03ccd14ca5 6y ago
This is a sad byproduct of diminishing intergenerational housing. In years prior, the head of the house would pass off these types of responsibilities to one of their children, but now our older generation is mostly left to fend for themse

Password managers are a godsend, but it’s still very challenging getting the older generation to use password managers. Anyone who says otherwise hasn’t given it a try. Things like iOS/safari autogen/auto save has done A LOT to m

Agree! I actually tell family and friends to write passwords down in a notebook if they’re not savvy enough to use a password manager. What’s old is new again!

I’m not suggesting the shutdown wasn’t the right choice. I’m only reminding people that there’s potentially a lot of things that can go wrong now. Unemployment is not the worst of them.

by 3fe9a03ccd14ca5 6y ago
If layoffs are the only downside we have to massive unemployment, then I will consider us very lucky. Another scenario that commonly follows periods of high unemployment is severe political unrest. That’s the kind of fertile environment tha

Society will generally forgive people of the things they do while young, even heinous things, provided they’re open and remorseful about what happened. But when you hide it there’s usually an opposite effect. Seems this founder is about the

This is very true. And OPs point is good: the HN/millennial technorati is really out of touch with how much pain will is and will be descending upon the world.

A twitter-like service whose only ban-able TOS violation (besides obviously illegal stuff) is to post any political content... that sounds amazing! I’d be there in a heartbeat.

On the flip side, the experience is remarkably similar now to what it was a decade ago. It’s materially the same, which is rare for unicorns of this time.
