Regardless of my thoughts on this horrendous stuff, can we please not have this here? It's plainly just the usual comment bait. This site needs far less politics and way more tech.

You wouldn't think twice about someone driving that exact same package 3000 km though right? Planes simply don't fall on people even in worst case scenarios. Losing power is actually what every meat pilot trains for.

Given how long side channels and timing attacks have been causing problems why haven't compilers tried to meet the requirements of crypto authors and implementors? Feels like people are fighting against compiler optimisations more than

If your inlaws weren't scheduled to get an upgrade to fibre and were instead cut off from the world due to costs of servicing remote areas would this comment be different in any way? It's a _big_ world.

Why on Earth would you tell anyone here that? I'm actually quite amazed at most of the Show HN posts with commercial products. Unless you are actually aiming towards developer or software shop dollars the risk/reward seems incredi

There's a staggering amount of endangered wildlife trade occurring openly on facebook in developing countries. Monitoring groups have a tough time breaking into these things due to the gated nature of the platform and after that parano

I bought one of these for about $80 nearly a decade ago and still holds up good despite all the sun and abuse. Compared to most clothing out there it's certainly made well. I have a lot of respect for clothes that last, too much stuff,

Not really, the post office would actually do something if you said "this person is sending scams through your system". They'd do a lot more if 100 people walked in saying the same. Google does nothing despite thousands of pe

It's almost like people think he has some magical insight into to everything when really he's just a VC with severe survivorship bias. The idiot has never hacked a thing for profit in his life.

To be fair they've been busy fixing the issue of slavery nomenclature in that time too. Respect where respect is due, important issues are being tackled here, you can't do everything at once. https://twitter.com/na

The smallsat market has to consolidate at some point. There's a lot of players now. If Spacex entered the market I think it would be game over but they seem content to ignore it and focus on bigger payloads. Last time I looked was blow

You are right. Have no affiliation and just found the site interesting, the politicisation of workplaces/hiring is a concerning development and shouldn't be the norm. Think it's intended to stir the pot a bit. When there&#x27

I honestly can't understand why any country on Earth is still using paper for notes. Is basic materials science some bizarre foreign concept? And for anyone who thinks otherwise, I'm going for a swim with $300 in my pocket.
