Very interesting read. The thing stood out to me most is that it says the islands didn't start getting discriminatory until they started encountering western culture and having it rub off on them. They still aren't overly discrimi

They were influential, but not critical per say. Many modern buildings, especially business building would be uninhabitable without air-conditioning. In general,food, water, and shelter are necessities for survival. If that had a modern spi

No mention of how he did it. Is the kid some child genius, was the security non existent, did he memorize a dozen lines of SQL, was the access control so broken that he clicked his way into this position? Also, why are they having kids try

I think it's because lenovo really isn't a brand you buy for gaming. Sure they have a gaming lineup, but they are more business and production oriented, and the Quadro cards back that. The Quadro cards aren't bad for gaming p

I have the Lenovo p51 and I'm mostly satisfied with it. The biggest drawback to me is the battery and the weight. Just using business apps the battery can go a few hours, but I like to get in some gaming on it and when gaming the batte

There's an article on security weekly that gives some tips on staying safe at hacker conferences. Most people there do not do anything malicious, but there's always a few ass hats who are trying to prove themselves by doing illega

Okay hardly anyone on this thread of 84 comments is even discussing the article. Half the comments are just people going back and forth about the Vegas shooting. What this hotel(s) did was unacceptable. I hope some lawsuits come out of it f

And to think, even if they decided to take him down, it would have likely been over a populated area. Unless they disintegrated it with missiles while in the sky, it likely would have ended in a catastrophe. The decision to not take the pla

That quote is kind of eye opening. Once you think about it and start making connections to the ridiculous hate communities it has given rise to, it's fascinating.

People cover their webcams because the news told them scary hackers would be watching them in their private time. While yes that can be true, the media blew up way out of proportion and it caught on. There are no downsides to covering your

Can someone say if it is harmful to use a blue light filtering software 24/7? I get its use at night, but would using it from sun up to sun down cause any problems?

I didn't see it explained, is this saying that Apple owes this person 2.5 million in bug bounties? Did they refuse to pay, did he decline payment, or what?

I hope I'm not the only one who's initial reaction was "What the hell is a windscreen?" I know windshield, not windscreen. They didn't say windshield in the article, I don't know if they are referring to the wi

I don't know much about how this works. Am I right in saying this is like the episode in Yu-Gi-Oh where Seto takes 51% of his fathers company so that he then owns the company? That's the only example I can think of to illustrate w

There was an article on HN a few weeks ago about a guy making a game out of LinkedIn. In that he made a fake account, filled it with buzzword skills, degrees, and colleges. Started adding every notable person he could. Then it became a domi

I've never seen it mentioned, but I'd be ecstatic if someone who knew what the PC RPG series Geneforge is, and made a reference to this modern day dna/gene editing technology.

Without any other information outside of reading this article, this contradicts basically every other google support story I've ever read on HN. Similar to what the few other comments are saying at the time of me writing this, it seems

I think a huge factor is the growing theme of social interaction being unacceptable. Back in the day you could walk up to and make friends with almost anyone, it wasn't weird to interact with strangers, thus making new acquaintances. M

I'd say look at this generically, without adding exceptions for outliers. Even for #3, a multi-million dollar medical bill could be a huge setback. I'm talking more along the lines of standard happenings. Say if a kid gets sick an

For 80s and 90s, I'd think a retro gaming/technology theme would be a good representation of the times.

I never have and never will understand the mindset of people who always want that extra dollar. These CEOs have billions of dollars, but they won't hesitate to inconvenience the customer if it means they get a few more dollars a year.

I hate how this has for some reason been big news the past few days. One mediocre article came out about it, now it keeps getting regurgitated through other news sites. This is nothing new, the US infrastructure has likely been compromised

By law a company can not refuse to return a defective item I believe. Whether they do it or refer you to the manufacturer, one way or another you are fully entitled to a refund if the item is defective. The whole "You can't make a

Long story short: China has been importing trash from many countries for the past two decades. Now they won't import it anymore, and these countries aren't prepared to dispose of the trash themselves. The 111m-ton figure is an est
