The problem then becomes that you get bored halfway through setting this up ;) But you raise an important point. Doing it with a friend. It helps so much because you motivate eachother and there's also a bit of friendly competition and

I think you mean "about 0%" see a broken site in response to my comment. Anyway, I get your point. However, I am a big fan of the robustness principle: Be conservative in what you do, be liberal in what you accept from others. So

Uhh... I wonder how large the percentage of users is that see a broken site if you strictly adhere to that principle.

If you read all the allegations that his 'victims' brought up, you see that while Assange isn't exactly a gentleman, nothing really bad took place. If Assange wasn't politically active in the way he is, he would get a sl

I think you're wrong about one thing. You see, you always think of the greater good as you define it. However, watching a football star is the desire of many, and they pay money for it, so the football star is in fact doing it for the

Speaking of multilinguals - note that Swiss people actually need capslock to type things like 'Ö' because if you press SHIFT + 'ö' then you get 'é' on a Swiss layout (well, I guess you could type '¨&#x27

You make the common mistake of thinking that partial security is no better than no security because you can still get compromised. Spoiler alert: It is.

No apologies needed :) Oh, and I also think the Windows kernel is quite excellent. Based on my past experience with how quickly my laptop battery is being depleted, I also feel like Windows 7 saves more energy than Ubuntu. It is just that w

That is an admirable mindset - I cannot help but be a bit frustrated when someone independently implements my ideas first. On the one hand, it validates the idea. On the other hand, building it would be fun, but now that someone else did it

I have nothing against closed source, and I don't think FOSS is inherently good. I am a long-time fan of Windows and Microsoft, and I owned two Xbox 360 and an Xbox One. I just noticed a trend in Windows: Less customizability, less con

Wow, that works? Video games are pretty much the last thing that holds me on Windows. Everything else is solved on Linux. I am very interested in any solution for this problem.

Staying up till 3am a few times a semester to finish an assignment is not hard work. Writing a 100 page thesis is not hard work either. If you got through uni by doing this, you went to a bad uni. Same goes for your statement about a thes

The company’s Autopilot system is in active use, and in fact just got an update this past weekend that should vastly improve its performance and decrease the possibility that the car doesn’t brake when it should. I am not gonna lie - that

The less political the subject, the better the science about it. That's why I love maths. Nobody bribes a set of mathematicians to incorrectly claim the Collatz Conjecture has been proven.

I know. That makes the tradeoff all the worse.

I don't know... The higher my blood pressure, the better my brain works.

Isn't that blood pressure very low? Sounds like close to something that makes you faint.

Look, in war times, we can plant potatoes in all our gardens and take our spare meadows. We don't need these farmers in peace time; we really don't. They are leeches.

by Kenji 10y ago
I loathe farmer subsidies. I have no idea why our government gives farmers so much money and so many advantages - nobody in our society really benefits from those incredible spendings and it's a significant fraction of our state budget

Uh, no? In schools you get taught to sit still and do your exercises. And don't you dare bother anyone or speak up. Communication is something you learn on the job and when you go out.

> It advertises that the move helps make the phone more water-resistant. Absolute, utter nonsense. I have a 3 year old Samsung Galaxy S4 Active that sports an open headphone jack and can be SUBMERGED in water without any problems. I do

I feel you're bitter about the anti-male sentiment that is rampant in our society and sadly, now also the internet. Rest assured, there are plenty of people who can value you as a person and a man. People with common sense who don&#x27

As someone who has worked at a Swiss bank: This might have applied a couple of decades ago. Especially in the last decade, Swiss banks introduced rules to overcome this problem with international customers. Smaller banks started to turn dow

Uhh... Pretty much the entire war on drugs? I am surprised you even had to ask. There is much more though, as you can find in this comment, for example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12414467
