The digital systems work pretty well. The digital prescriptions are definitely convenient, especially as you can get them renewed via e-mail to your doctor and thus skip any visitation bills. I also still remember my amazement when it took

You're effectively making the case that e-voting is flawed, because a completely controlled slave who has Stockholm syndrome can't vote for whom they want. 1) It's possible to revote unlimited times. In the overwhelming major

You can change your vote in private. If you're worried about getting locked up and/or murdered by your wife after she has seen who you initially voted for, then you could set up a cron job to change the vote even if you're no

Well yes, a flag, one of many. It's ownership description via superset, it doesn't mean it's THE flag of mankind.

Probably the same reason why some sites have a maximum password length of 8. Security design by people who are clueless about security.

There isn't any active witch hunt going on in regards to local Estonian-Russian relations, nor LGBT. If you avoid super drunk people at nights, then the threat of violence due to those reasons is low and most conflicts will be limited

I'm still using ST, but there have definitely been times when I wished it would be possible to modify some functionality. [1] I've sent them feature requests, but as they barely manage to implement their own ideas, mine have been

The post says this about personal accounts: you can even invite a few collaborators . I can't find the exact definition of "a few", but I imagine it's less than 90657.

You are misinformed. Microsoft even supports Vista, not to mention 7. [1] In addition, if XP support deadline extensions are anything to go by, then these Windows 7 end-of-support dates will get moved several times until they stick. Beyond

Windows 8 minimum? Is this an UWP app or what's the reasoning here? Edit: I downloaded and successfully launched this on Windows 7. It seems like a standard Electron app. Now I wonder if the Windows 8 requirement is purely for tech sup

I'm not sure about these specific ones or how the law is in the US, but in Estonia where I live, you are indeed required by law to invest 4% of your pay into pension funds. The high management fees are a major criticism point of this s

It may surprise you, but there are people here who don't mind these sites. It's already possible to flag links that you think have no place on HN. Please use that instead of trying to setup preemptive censorship.

The title & the article are worded so badly that I would go as far as to say it's just flat out wrong. This isn't about CPUs supporting anything. This article is based on Microsoft's policy of adding support for fancy new

Visual C++ is just the product name, it's branding. It has no functional meaning beyond that. As for the standards, there's pretty good partial support for C++11/14/17. One fairly recent blog post by them has some tabl

It's customary in the US to list prices without tax, so I would guess not.

That does sound like a bad experience indeed. I didn't get that myself, and can't seem to replicate it now in incognito either. Perhaps geo-targeting? Pop-ups suck, and I wish my browser's pop-up blocker would also block thes

Good thing I clicked on it before it was changed. I have the complete opposite reaction. The Nation's page has a nice picture to set the theme and uses a wider space with a bigger font, while the TomDispatch page looks like something f

I do wonder for how many sites does this actually make sense to do. Take the number of users who use NoScript and are not willing to turn it off when the site doesn't work without JS, and then take the subset from those who would actua

Could be a pretty cool UI solution to have a chat client that uses PGP encrypted e-mail in the background, but Gmail SMTP has a send limit of 100 e-mails per day. You would run into that rather quickly with a chat UI. I guess the chat clien

What a weird implication that you need to be the best to use good gear. The pro-style clothing isn't posing or brand snobbery. Jeans are way too hot, cotton clothes get uncomfortably sticky from sweat way too fast and let cold wind go

There will be no more single core performance increases — laws of physics forbid it. This is just plain wrong. Look at any Intel CPU generation and you will find that the new one is faster than the old one clock-to-clock.

Words are tricky. They don't have one true definition. What's accurate for one, may not be for another. Words have multiple, sometimes incompatible meanings, depending on context of discussion and participants. It's not reall

Yeap, most if not the overwhelming majority of backup services work like that. Some like Mozy have as low as a 30 day counter. [1] -- [1] At least they had that 30 days limit a few years ago, I haven't used them in a while.
