I guess this is one of the risks if you sell your company or software. I'm pretty sure Joel doesn't like this, but this will not reflect well on him - and yes, I know he sold the company some time ago, but how many people are goin

Attribution is notoriously hard. Also, general propaganda pretty much to be expected. It's the same thing in the last election, it's absolutely expected that some people did commit voting fraud and that some votes were counted wro

It's unusual for people in that age group to be good with computers, as they grew up without them (or at least without them being as ubiquitous as in the last few decades). It's also pretty rare to hit such a sweet spot with an ap

That's 90$ for redundant tape storage, stashed away securely in some place far away from your home. A 16TB drive is cheap, but you need a few of them to be safe against file corruption and bit rot and you need to stash them somewhere w

I think the implied point was that the steering column will kill you anyway, so the lack of an airbag is not a problem.

For each unreasonably banned user, there are 5 concerned ones and 100 ones who joined the platform blue-eyed. It'll be hard for the few of us to fight the network effect.

I fully agree. If you come from "old-school" administration, Docker and Kubernetes seem like massive black boxes that replace all your known configuration screws with fancy cloud terms. But once you get to know them, it just makes

Don't discount psychological stress. "You have something growing in your breast which might be cancer, just wait a few months and we'll scan again" is not something that gives people a good nights sleep.

It might be my bubble, but it feels like SCPs are quite known in the internet culture. I've seen surprisingly many references on HN alone, for example.

There are also bisexual people who might end up with a same sex partner when free choose, but go with a heterosexual relationship due to societal pressure.

I think it's pretty safe to say that people will act less on something if they feel it's bad (due to being educated like it is), even behind closed doors. Especially since this makes it harder to find a partner.

But investors also need to be quick to react if they want to make (serious) money. Ignoring a tweet from a verified account about a disastrous event is not reasonable at all in 99.9% of cases. What I'm trying to say is, you might be ab
