Abuse of 1099 independent contractors is pretty much endemic to every large industry and profession in the US, though. The tech sector isn't going to get called out on it before sales, etc. It's just "the way it is", b

That depends on how the contracts are written and whether Smyte continue as a company on its own or just as a software product of Twitter.

While this should be upsetting, and I'm sure it was to the people who were affected, I'm actually happy to see it. I'm of the mindset that this will have an overall positive effect on the state of the Web. Why? Because user

No. The burden needs to be on the user to understand their own security. If we stopped taking the burden out of user's hands and tried to ensure that everyone on the Internet understood that anything they access becomes data on their

Unfortunately, I have neither the resources nor the energy to do a real deep dive into Trimble and their relationship with Alphabet. Even if they don't own that particular piece of software, what evidence is there that it's not b

Am I the only one who thinks it would be better if Blender uploaded directly to archive.org or archive.is? As much as it's interesting on a technical level, the fact that PeerTube is by nature decentralized and self-hosted is going to

Okay, but then I have to ask - how is this more convenient than Wordpress.com or Tumblr?

$20 per year seems steep enough to count as outrageous. Especially when compared to other hosted blog options like WordPress, Blogger, Livejournal, Tumblr, etc. Heck, if I get a free ".tk" website, with maybe free 5GB web hosting

That depends - do you still remember to look for the helpers?

That seems significantly less complicated to me. After all, you're presenting the same overall concepts explicitly and without concatenation. The concept of "big words are scary" in much of our modern education is one that

These rules might not always apply well to discourse between adults. On the other hand, if you are an adult who is speaking to - and leading - children, Mr. Rogers still provides a positive example of how to approach the subject. Distillin

I ask them politely why or how that affects the responsibilities of the position. In the US, interviewers & such can ask your DOB to confirm your background, but asking your age is opening themselves up to an age discrimination lawsuit

I never started buying. My local public libraries got enough copies that I could read them when they came out in dead-tree.

In honesty, I use the least-effort solution - Fire-And-Forget. Then again, I'm not applying to a group of highly technical jobs. I do various types of office work, management, and training mostly and I'm near NYC. When I'm in

So we lose another valuable project of the Web. I wonder why I feel so lost - that when I was young, the Internet was barely born... and now I'm watching it die.

Thank you so much for displaying that YC has taken a step toward accepting China's desires to rule the world and a step away from supporting free and open cultural discourse. I think I'm going to be avoiding HN for a while, so th

Being honest, if I could study any CS-related field, it'd be pretty simple - advertisement technology management. I'd want to know how to get in the game of stealing people's private data for money; it seems that's the

Actually, I'm just a teacher/office admin/etc for work - by passion and hobby I'm a writer but that hasn't turned into money and likely never will. I don't do programming and never have, the closest I ever came

>Edit? You've been gone awhile. Edit has never been released on any x64 platform of Windows, AFAIK. Why? Because it's a 16-bit application! NTVDM, the 16/32-bit DOS and 16 bit Windows emulator only runs on 32-bit Windows.

Some transhumanists have done thought experiments and research on it, and I would say that the most digestible version of the "morality-as-law" system is in the Eclipse Phase RPG.

This isn't specifically my situation. But I know three families in low-income situations for whom that sort of PC is the only one they have, because they got it from either an office or a school when the place was discarding computers.
