I agree. From another perspective, China has been a blatant power in the theft of IP from all over the world and we have been turning a blind eye to it for quite some time. A lot of people joke about 'Chinese knockoffs' and the &#

I would have believed that if it were HP. Snark aside, it is unusual behavior coming from Microsoft.

I was thinking it's more of a college thing. It was a staple of early college life and sometimes after graduation due to how inexpensive it was when bought as a bulk purchase. Combined with some cheap spices and veggies and this is you

I didn't realize it was called The Pomodoro Effect ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique ) until now, and it's been the one approach to my work that's had the most success. Cal Newport's

Remote work taught me that working in batches can really drive up my efficiency. 2.5 hours at the start of the day, a half hour break, then another period of work about the same length, and then finally one more. I find this breaks up th

You seem to be stuck on the idea that it's about money, and it's not. My entire argument isn't that it can be monetized easily ( https://www.facebook.com/help/publisher/321041698514182 it can) but th

Do you realize how easy it is to set up a facebook page, wordpress or blogger blog? Tons of non-technical people have done and continue to do this. This isn't about your average HN reader but the general public and they're compe

Exactly my thought. This isn't about needs, it's about economic rights. If I can afford two homes and choose to buy them, I'm within my rights to do so. Attempting to limit the rights of people isn't going to go very we

I remember using it back in 2005 iirc, and it was amazing. The files had a label called gmailfs.gDisk which is how it could keep the "file system" separate from the rest. Now Google generously offers Drive with 15Gigs of space.

riot/matrix is substantially worse in usability than Signal. In addition, if you wanted something federated with decent crypto, an xmpp server with something as basic as TLS and OTR on the server and clients would be far more usable th

Many companies have incentives or a form of tuition reimbursement/schooling they're willing to pay for to put good people through a college or trade program, with the understanding that they stay at work for the company for X amou
