My post literally adds nothing to the thread. I'm just saying hello.

I have wanted HN to have a friend/foe system since I first found the site. I'd also like it to have the ability to make notes, like 'farkies' from Fark. On Slashdot, you simply add them to a friend or for list. On Fark,

I lost access to my first account because I lost access to the email address. This was quite a while back and it was a moniker less able to be tied to me. So, I eventually stopped posting as AC and signed up with my 'real' moniker

I haven't looked into it for a while, but AMD often supports ECC so long as the motherboard supports it. I haven't checked the current lineup, but looked at it for my last home-server build. I agree with you entirely, to be sure.

I'm not comfortable attempting to force my morality on other people and other cultures, and I think it detracts from our ability to be objective. I personally dislike zoos and don't visit them. At the same time, I'm not comfo

I think Kenya is one place where poaching is a capital crime. They issued a shoot to kill order some years ago. It made the news and I'm not sure of the efficacy of such programs. Importantly, this isn't poaching. This was lawful

I don't know if that's what they are saying, but I would say that. Tragic though the Vegas shooting was, humans aren't an endangered species. Don't get me wrong, I happily hunt and fish. I clean and process dead animals

The article indicates these elephants were taken legally. So, in this case, I'm pretty sure we aren't actually discussing poachers.

Because of your question mark, I decided to look it up. Agriculture began about 12,000 to 10,000 years ago. It's not much different than 6,000 years and I only mention it because of your question mark. Here is a link, if you're cu

This is way off-topic and I accept the karma hit... At night, I'd sit up with my back propped up by pillows. I'd tuck the blanket underneath my feet and tuck it in firmly by my sides. I'd prop a bit of the blanket out away fr

I figured you were absolutely willing to take questions from the general public. Now, the average person seems woefully unaware of this. To them, the science and scientists seem unapproachable. They've stacked scientists up on a pedest

I do wonder if we will ever be able to refine the detection and use it to infer information about distant objects which we can't otherwise observe. If my understanding is correct, the waves should be subtly altered as they pass celesti

shrugs I think we should aspire to be above reading between the lines. When we do so, we tend to see that which we want to see, regardless of the author's intent.

Well done. Your post embodies and expresses how I expected the majority of fellow scientists responded to this news. I don't want to say that's how they/you should respond, but that's how I hoped you'd respond. To h

When I was a young child, I used to daydream about winning a Nobel. I didn't daydream about winning an Emmy or a Grammy, but I did dream of winning a Nobel. (And Formula 1 championship races, but that's not important right now.) D

Ah, okay. Thanks. A judge can kick a specific attorney out of the courtroom, but I think the standards are pretty high for doing so. I don't know if that's just custom or an established rule. Judges have some awesome powers inside

I'm not a lawyer but I ended up having to take a number of courses on law. One of the most heavily covered topics is procedure. Courts love their procedure. This isn't something I'm clear on. Maybe someone here is a lawyer an

It is too late to edit it. If I could, I'd change it to suggest they not be more verbose than absolutely needed. Put time and effort into writing it, as they will be putting time and effort int responding to it. That time can be used t

For the curious, the creator of the phishing site is actually an HN member. This is their thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15295146 If folks missed it, it's worth skimming it to get a recap of the details.

Forensics is hard for even companies that are well versed and adept with tech. Evidence suggests that Equifax is not among that group of companies. The number being revised doesn't surprise me. I'd have been surprised if it hadn&#

Maybe me. ;-) I've been suggesting it for a while. It works wonders and has worked every time I've tried it. It seems likely that they know about this backdoor and have opted to allow it. They must surely know the IO addresses ass

We've had this same conversation since the start of the industrial revolution. Each time, people have insisted that this time it was different and sure to be the end of civilization. Famously, we called them Luddites. As for predicting

You don't have to care, though you might be grateful that they are profitable and thus able to pay your salary. Given that you're on HN, you're probably paid quite well and better than you would be in other countries. So, it&

Very valid point and I earnestly hope that they see your post and take full advantage of the opportunity. I am/was unfamiliar with these specific researchers and only know the research through popular science. So, I am unable to give t

Hold back progress rather than have a surplus of labor to solve new tasks? I know what you wrote, but that's what I read.
