I got INTJ, which is correct. But given the Reddit and HN demographics, you could just always guess that.

If you're interested in the Silk Road story (and you should be, it's fascinating), have a listen to this talk by a federal prosecutor involved in it: https://youtu.be/Ot8sgY2JuVc

Having a bored and well-funded cop on every street corner, looking for crimes, is not the best thing for a free society. "Make sure everyone pays their fair share" seems reasonable, but all too often degenerates into "spend y

Maybe trying to generate interest for their upcoming game, Amnesia: Rebirth? Honestly, their stuff is quite good if you like horror games-- Amnesia: Dark Descent and SOMA are excellent!

Escaping your government is easy. There are plenty of places on Earth you could go that have essentially no (functional) government. People tend to run from these places, not to them.

Agreed, but the real problem is DDoS and nobody seems to know how to globally solve it. Fighting DDoS is expensive, so you see consolidation. It's well and good to live in a tiny farming town but when raiders start attacking every week

I agree regarding undergrad mattering less than law school, but as long as we're splitting hairs about RBG, let's split them correctly! =) She and her husband both went to Harvard Law, though the husband started and graduated one

I don't think they're especially successful right now. Their President is barely holding on to majority support in Texas and is losing every purple state. He seems powerless to appease his law&order base by stopping the riots

Some kids will "toughen up," others will spend the rest of their lives with anxiety disorders that could have been prevented if they'd had a safe environment. Many public schools straight-up don't care about violence in

Remember when Newsweek found this random guy named Dorian Nakamoto and told the world that he was Satoshi Nakamoto, creator of Bitcoin? They were almost certainly wrong and the guy got harassed for years.

You can create a dark mode by changing a few variables, and all of the Bootstrap components will still look right? Can you show me how?

I'd love to see a built-in dark mode! I develop a SaaS-type control panel and many of my users spend hours a day interacting with it. Requests for a dark mode have been increasing over the last year, but restyling every built-in Bootst

I'm surprised to hear you recommending TP-Link. They've had several serious security issues that have been discussed on HN[1]-- do they worry you? Also, why do you dislike Eero? Someone else on this thread recommended them, and th

Well, personally I'm running a small online company. The company is basically just me, and it pays enough to support me. That means I can live anywhere without changing my income, so living where it's cheaper effectively makes me

Where do you live? I'm in Houston, a place with a low cost of living relative to California. I'm in my early 30s, and I know lots of people aged 25-35 who are marrying, buying homes, and having kids.

Church really was a major answer to your question-- and still is, in certain subcultures and parts of the country. If you're going to be born as a socially awkward nerd, being born to a God-loving family in a red state is probably a bl

You know how Firefox has a deal with Google where if you use Firefox and do a Google search and click on an ad, Firefox gets a cut of the ad money? This is sort of like that: Binance and Brave have a deal[1] where Brave promotes Binance fro

Whether there is a pandemic or not isn't given great weight by either side. Both sides implicitly agree that California isn't allowed to go out of its way to penalize churches, but they disagree on whether it has done that. Robert

Even better, let people subscribe to block lists, like ad blockers do. Instead of putting together my own list of shit sites (which will be perpetually out of date), I'd be happy to outsource that to some group I trust.

I had always read that prosecutors have near-total discretion about which cases to bring and how aggressively to pursue them. Did you have that kind of discretion? If not, how high up in the chain was it exercised? Also, another question: h
