To be honest by how many times the terms Nazi and Facism get flung about these days i'de say that people _not_ seeing people as someone like a Nazi maybe isn't the problem, but quite the opposite. Then again I suppose both our vie

You make a good point. Although the purported motives for Windows 10 S are somewhat agreeable, like approved apps to stop users downloading malware, the whole concept needs to die in a dumpster fire. You just _know_ that it'll start wi

Don't worry, it's a click-bait term for being invisible to low-frequency wavelengths, so not visible light. The US military has been working on microwave -invisible materials for a while and they've gotten very close. But mi

Not sure if the parent comment was being serious to be honest. If not, then, well, they are very tragic. A sizeable portion of HN users are technical middle class citizens and seem on the face of it often highly separated from the working c

This is essentially Australia's system, lauded for it's rather strict and rigorous "points"-based immigration system. If you don't meet enough "we want you as a citizen" points, you're simply denied.

It is to my knowledge that the problems have been around from the start, but you haven't noticed it. I'm pushed to think that the "media" didn't report on it too much because the problems were economic. But as an av

The thing is, from the Snowden leaks, we _know_ that the NSA relies on being the most powerful hasher to identify people and things as they do. As I said, it's only a possibility that they could be actively trying to damper _consumer_

Replace Intel with nVidia or AMD, it was an exemplar manufacturer showing that big chip-makers _can_ do shady things.

Blame it on the cost-plus contract. NASA paid cost-plus to ULA and the ilk initially (think 60's -90s) mainly because rocketry was a very new field and it was near impossible to reliably estimate the final cost the manufacturer would i

So, very cut down, you're saying that the US are implicating North Korea because they know they can, because they think that "normal civilian joes" don't know anything about NK? I'de say it's highly likely too,

MDMA _is_ neurotoxic. Very much so too. I'm a little busy at the moment to link to it, but there were a few studies years ago that did tests on chimps, finding ultimately that MDMA gradually destroys neuron synapse receptors. You could

I don't think many people were celebrating it. The vast majority of people saw it as a grubby power grab and a hit to the fairness of the internet.

There is usually a small fee of a few hundred Euros. Or at least, that's what a few German students told me.

The 60s-80s-born generation performed a real doozy and told their kids "you can be anything you wanted!", so of course we ended up with a culling in trades and "plebian" jobs, and an explosive influx into "soft skil

I think the OPs context for "good company" is "good company _for coders/hackers_". You can have a company behaving in an anti-trustworthy way, but their software still be _good_. Also, their antitrust violations was

I was reading some of the leaked emails. They are awful. Purchasing "legal highs" off the dark web. Cocaine. All sorts of horrendous stuff. I think the En Marche! leak has many similar properties to the DNC leaks. Once many very i

This sounds very interesting for budding platform developers. One problem is testing the more bespoke vuln routes - that's to say, the buffer overflows, the old package exploits, the strange oddities. By the sounds of it, you are build

So, Western involvement in Syria is due to wanting to protect one of the oil pipelines that supplies it's oil? And Russian involvement is to stop that I assume? What are you implying here?

Sorry to be off-topic, but I really do despise the "stressed" narration voice of STEM media these days. Am I the only one here who misses the balanced, informed, steady and smooth narration of Carl Sagan et al of yesteryear STEM m

My favourite bit there: > people so willfully stupid that they will cut each other`s throats while the bankers drain them dry. Divide and conquer. Proven classic.

That's actually evil... I find that the withdrawing of medical programs by a company is a pretty reliable indicator that it'll fold in a few years, since it's a common "exit-strategy" to earn a few last bucks before
