Maybe we should do the opposite. Maybe we should all create thousands of Facebook accounts, with randomized profiles that promote random articles and AI-generated comments. Then that program runs on your machine whenever you're not usi

There are more reasons to junk a story than just fact-checking. It could be that the story has already been covered sufficiently. That there is nothing new it. That it is only of interest to a certain group of people who just want to wallow

Wait so Facebook can collect data about its users but Facebook users aren't allowed to collect data about Facebook?

This tool is like a flashlight for the Internet. It reveals the location of all the cobwebs. At the same time, there are admins out there that don't like you shining lights in their windows and they will ban you for it. Everyone knows

Article did not cover the "Why" question. WSL solves the problem of using Windows while still having a fast Linux/Docker development environment always at your fingertips. I'd understand the "because it's there

I remember when I was a teenager and wondering what life would be like at 50. Now I know. You feel exactly the same, only with less time left. You're still you. You still feel the same. You still want to experience all the same things

I've tried and tried but I've never found a situation where explicit lifetimes was the answer. It's almost always more complex than that. I mean, everywhere that is complex enough that implicit lifetimes don't work is al

When they talk about "shift work" they're referring to the way the taxi industry works. The reason the taxi industry works that way is because most drivers drive company cars which are owned & maintained by the company. D

Even if there was some sort of budgetary problem, it seems logical that services that are explicitly required by the Constitution, such as mail and census, would have precedence over those that are not.

Florida's state govt has been in complete control of Republicans (all houses + gov) for over 30 years, despite Republican voter registrations being in the minority.

That's determined by the states. In many states the postmark is irrelevant. The votes must be delivered on time or they don't count.

Yep, generates outrage, feeds on it and turns it into money. The added insult is that advertising money used to be used to fund investigative journalism and real community news coverage at local newspapers in every city and town in the US.

No, according to other commenters they would be paying it to the government anyway, if they weren't paying it to Tesla.

Unnecessary. Tesla is the only company whose quarterly updates regularly make the front page of Hacker News. For some reason.

Yeah we've been tracking it and preparing for it since 1918. There's a whole industry built up over the years around preparing for this, but it still requires leadership involvement to put it into action. The leadership we have no

I don't believe they are conspiratorial or paranoid. The mission of the CIA is information gathering and analysis to gain knowledge, not paranoia. The current president may not listen to facts, but that doesn't mean everyone in go

Sure everyone should just be kind to one another and live in total peace and harmony. Unfortunately not everyone sees it that way. You can't force other people to see things your way, and you can't have détente without demonstrate

Yes, the best feature about KeePassXC is this ability to do your own syncing. I work at a Fortune 500 where they block every syncing service except OneDrive, so that's what I have to use.

The article doesn't say facts never change minds. Clearly, facts do change minds. Just not always. The article simply focuses on the latter case, because that's a more interesting thing to read about. It's like boring headlin

Maybe they had innocent motives, or maybe they didn't. It's irrelevant. Attempting to normalize a symbol that for millions of people stands for brutality, terrorism and oppression, doesn't change its nature for that populati

Dukes of Hazzard was my second-favorite TV show as a kid, (next to CHiPs.) It saddens me that the symbol was foisted on me and millions of other kids throughout history and not just from the TV show. Turns out there was never a time that th

Yeah, Timeline is the only thing that I find useful and wish to keep forever. Other people use photos to remember places they've been. I use Timeline. I like it because it works all the time. I rarely take selfies, because Timeline doe

Most of your friends probably pay for Netflix. The motivation for Netflix is to give you just enough quality to keep you paying every month. For a free service like Facebook you the user have no expectation of quality because you're pa

It's less complex if you look at all these problems as symptoms. At the core is the racism. The gratuitous brutality, the lying, the planting of evidence, the us-versus-them attitude, the lawlessness, the replacement of the American fl

My guess is there's a contract with the current MPD and police union that currently hampers all attempts at reform. This would no longer present a problem if they started over from scratch.

This is my experience. I don't get the fascination with Ubuntu. Whenever I hear about something that doesn't work it's always Ubuntu. That could be confirmation bias though. From my perspective it's old & busted vs F

The reason is more practical. The only effective use of tear gas is against peaceful untrained civilians. It doesn't work against looters and vandals because they are highly mobile and aren't going to stick around long enough for

And cops know this and will verbally threaten you with it. I've had it happen to me. The cop actually said to me during a traffic stop he could arrest me for resisting arrest. I don't know why he said that. I guess I was not showi

Are there people who only want to spend their lives doing the same thing every day? Decades of experience in C and Java ought to work just fine for someone who wants to try something new, like React. I learned React after decades of experie
