How is it at all legal for the government to demand payment for something when you are not convicted of a crime? It's effectively a 100% discriminatory, corrupt, and unaccountable tax. Completely reprehensible.

The only reason why I haven't done that, is that the accounts actually have a positive impact on my credit. They're fraudulent, so I am taking action to remove them, but there have been no damages as a result. So, I don't rea

When I turned 18, I decided that it would be a good idea to get a credit report from all three agencies just to check what was on there. I found that there were multiple accounts tied to my credit score from before I was born. Two of the cr

Interesting. I started my own work on something exactly like this, before giving up after realizing how poor the Ruby opengl perfomance is / how difficult proper graphics rendering can be. Nice to see some more graphics work being done

Wow, that really is quite beautiful. People often don't realize the marvels of technology involved in uploading their selfies.

Why would that be the case? 14nm FinFet designs tend to have a higher clockspeed (at least at the lower TDPs) while still consuming less power.

The author of this article says that Kaby Lake is an 'anomaly' when it comes to the tick-tock strategy that Intel has been following. However, this is not the case. Following the rollout of Intel's 14nm lineup, Intel realized

Will you guys be looking for interns next summer? I'm a CS major who's currently finishing up a software engineering internship at a major healthcare company. I'd love to get in touch, if so.

Just realized that that's why I couldn't get any of the videos to load. Thanks!

His complaint about the standups interrupting productive work rings a bell with me though. I see no reason why a daily status update over the general channel on slack doesn't serve the same purpose as a standup meeting. In fact, make i

You call them problems, but I call them job security.

If a potential employer demands to know how much I made at my last/current job, then in order to maintain a fair, symmetrical conversation, I would need to know how much every one of their current engineers make. Anything less would be

"...chances of life are 1000 times higher in the distant future than now." I still don't see this as a solution to the Fermi paradox, considering the billions (more?) of planets in our galaxy.

Freakonomics made a good podcast with the author of this book regarding this topic [1]. I can't say I agree with it, but it's an interesting listen nonetheless. [1]: http://freakonomics.com/podcast/american-gr

If that's true, I'm fairly sure that he: 1. Should not have told you that. 2. Is not happy about you saying something about it. This leads me to believe that you don't actually know this person.

Agreed. That's one of the things I love about HN in comparison with places like Reddit. The 'hivemind' is not nearly as strong here. There's certainly a general bias to what gets upvoted and what doesn't, but it&#x2

I might be one of the only people who didn't love this game. It was an alright game, but I guess I just wasn't a fan of the style. It all just felt a bit too 'lel i'm random, look, skeletons and robots who think they&#x2

There has never been a titan card that did not have any video outs. Perhaps you're thinking of their Tesla cards?

I recommend disabling some of the Amazon integration in Unity if you're concerned about your privacy. This shouldn't be too difficult, even if you're new to Linux. I 'd also suggest getting Unity-tweak-tool and playing a

I recommend watching this [0] ted talk on the subject. In it, you'll see that Google, last year, already had solved bicyclist hand signs, lane markings, unforeseen obstacles, etc. And they did it __without__ human annotators. Just some

Alright then, what are the reasons for bicycles being balanced? If it's not anything related to gyroscopic effects, then what is it?

Because people's opinions should totally be discounted based on the color of their skin! Privileged or not, I will never support those who try to fight that privilege with discrimination and censorship.

Perhaps the solution would be to just have a set amount of pokecenters/points of interest based on population density, and then auction off the spot for X amount of months?

Assuming your 3% number is correct (which I cannot find a source for), China's yearly gains will outpace ours in just under 10 years, overtaking us in raw GDP in 50 years. That's taking your figures exactly, that is. I highly doub

I'm familiar with what a C64 is, but I have never seen one in my life. The majority of my fellow undergrad students know next to nothing about the history of computing. But in reality, that's just fine. If our goals are to become

That's a really good comic. I grew up very privileged and it's easy to give in to some of the thoughts that are displayed. I know far too many of my peers who probably wouldn't see the irony in it if you chopped off the right

What's stopping someone from signing up for Jopwell when you don't fit their racial criteria? Surely once they find out that you're not the race they're looking for, they can't deny you services because of your race
