If I buy something, not only should I be allowed to keep it until I die, but I should also be allowed to pass it on to someone else after I die. I should also be allowed to give it or to sell it even before I die. That's currently impo

What about server-generated passwords, like API keys? That would solve the main problem with passwords, namely, that people reuse the same weak password everywhere. I doubt it would be as popular as user-selected passwords, but I still wond

I agree. I was expecting the author would implement debouncing or throttling to reduce the number of unnecessary requests, alongside fixing the data race issue. Here's an excellent article on debouncing and on throttling, and the diffe

I share your intuition that your likelihood of getting a ticket is related to the speed of other vehicles. Presumably, police choose to prioritise ticketing the worst offenders when there are too many offenders to handle. But I don't s

The main downside of Tresorit is that it does not support syncing symlinks. It also does not have LAN sync like Dropbox does. Tresorit does have E2E encryption, which is great. Only the enterprise version of Dropbox has E2E encryption.

I wish I could agree with you, but in my experience the built-in controls have many flaws and have remained stagnant for years or decades.

How did they measure the number of legitimate customers that they lost because they blocked those IPs? It's not enough to estimate the change in unwanted traffic, you also need to estimate the change in desirable traffic.

Same here. It was the lottery episode that made me realise that he is willing to lie when explaining his illusions. I didn't feel delighted by the illusion, I felt lied to.

I concur. Most Wikipedia articles in different languages on the same topic are not translations of each other, in my experience. It is better to think of them as independent of each other.

Thank you! That's helpful. I got the examples in that Wikipedia section to run using the `--null-input` flag: $ jq --null-input '[1, 2] | add' 3

Thanks for engaging with me. In your last paragraph, you got to the crux of the issue. You feel that you are "allowed" (by whom?) to define your own moral values and your own priorities. You feel that this moral axiom is self-evid

Really well said. It is an excruciating situation to be in. Thank you for sharing your perspective.

All moral reasoning can be boiled down to "my religion told me to", assuming a comprehensive enough definition of religion. For example, an atheist humanist may argue that certain actions are immoral because they are harmful to hu

Nice! Now this piece of video game history can be better shared and preserved. Does this repo include the artistic assists, or does it include the code only?

I can see dozens, maybe hundreds,q of submissions that were all flagged accidentally. I wish Hacker News paid a minimum of attention to UX on small touchscreens.

That statistic is widely repeated but it is contradicted by other studies which paint a rosier picture of Americans' finances. See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42357663

I would love to buy ebooks directly from publishers, but publishers generally sell ebooks with DRM just as bad as Amazon's DRM, if not worse. If publishers insist on vendor lock-in, then I might as well stick with Kindle where most of

Which video codec did you use? MP4 is just a video container, it's not a video codec. Safari only supports some codecs.
