cURL has above-average name recognition. It's like mentioning a Dremel tool instead of a handheld rotary tool.

HTTP exploit requests can be pretty complicated, and the use of cURL hints that it's a dirt simple exploit to leverage. This is an arstechnica article, their target demographic is more technically literate than the lowest common denomi

Nothing about the article implies cURL is responsible for the exploit, only that it can be used to leverage the exploit. It's relevant and good to know, and shouldn't be removed IMO.

The trouble here is that people don't become wealthy just because of luck. It plays a part, sure, but people have to play the game and know how it works in order to have even a chance of winning. The trouble is that many people don&#x2

It's a divisive political topic, and he associated an individual post made on an internal Ycombinator forum with Ycombinator itself. Comments of individuals don't represent the company, and by framing it like he did, he publicly d

At this point in the US, anyone who wants to get a vaccine can get one. That makes getting it a personal choice. Then you have this person try to damage Ycombinator because one of their founders spoke internally about the matter. Absolutely

One time, I fell asleep as a passenger in a car. I hit a bump, looked up, and screamed as I saw what looked like a car coming right for me. It was a tow truck towing a car backwards. It was just enough in my half-asleep state to scare the s

USAA's new 529 company is absolutely horrible. Has arbitrary password length limits. It complains of good, complex passwords and you can't paste them in. I couldn't even log in because my account became locked. It definitely

Any ideas on how to instill that do-or-die mentality in people who haven't gone to the military?

As someone who worked in a sandwich shop to survive while going to college($7.5/hr, 30 hrs/week), I can't imagine the universe some people live in where an income of $375,000 doesn't seem sky high. It's like there i

I find the concept of removing entrance tests so more black people can be accepted into college divisive too. Sometimes divisive issues just need to be addressed head-on in a way that avoids unnecessary flamebait or emotional amplification.

Race is already a metric in deciding college admission. Asian Americans need significantly higher GPAs to get into pretty much any competitive program.

Nothing about the title implies it "is unplanned, unannounced / new intel, leaving for a bad reason, and/or he no longer will be involved."

The wanna-be gangster I spoke of was white. I live in one of the whitest regions of the country, but we still have gangsters, ne'er do wells and generally bad people here too. Everywhere does.

The internet has moved to be mobile-first, media-rich, and optionally asynchronous. IRC didn't adapt, though I'm still hopeful for matrix.org.

Your subjective statement pushes a narrative that racism from white Americans is the cause of the problem. It's reductive and unproductive, which is why it received comments so quickly. Pushback doesn't imply you're right, it

And tell them how to register the nickname, and tell them how to log in, and tell them how to list rooms and join them. Then teach them about op codes. (Lack of) Ease of use is a big reason for IRC's loss in popularity.

This doesn't match my experience at all. I moved because I could afford a house in the suburbs, and the lower population density decreases chances of conflict. Not everyone is racist like this

Newpipe's "skip silence" feature is absolutely incredible with lectures and public meetings too. It's just an all around better experience.

Such superorganism traits arise only if they are evolutionarily advantageous, and only when evolutionarily pressure selects for those traits. However, overpopulation previously was never really an issue, high population density was the exce

Here are some fun anecdotes that may shock a lot of non Americans (and some urban Americans): My dad first took me shooting around 6 or 7 years old. I shot my first 12 gauge shotgun at around 10 or 11 years old, and I kept a deer rifle in m

We have the same thing here in Missouri. We've had it for decades, and it seems to work fine for us. In the rural parts of the state, police response times can be 30+ minutes. While deer hunting one time, I had to call an ambulance and

Thankfully, it sounds like the officers involved didn't apply such unusual laws in order to irreversibly damage someone's life when they were stopping a thief. Punishing people for trying to do good things while ignoring thieves a

Small modular reactors are probably our best bet here. Centrally manufactured, fail-safe designs, short on-site construction times and time-to-first-power-output. It all depends at this point on if the regulatory environment can be improved
