Yeah, this is disturbing. He's admitting he used social engineering to get back into his own locked account and he's happy that it worked. Assuming he did this over email / web the "proof" he sent them was probably

> most devs don’t seem to bother And by devs, let’s be clear it’s product owners. As a dev this isn’t hard to do. The problem is making sure it’s made a priority.

I don't know if it's just my area (Atlanta) but they are very bad at delivering. I've started moving away from Amazon because they keep losing my packages. I'm in an area that used to be same day delivery but now I often

In Southern California in the late 80s / early 90s I had a few friends that were regularly sent to the corner store for cigarettes. They had to bring a note, but otherwise the store seemed to think this was normal.

Did you move from the US? How have you liked it and would you do it again in the current climate? I'd love to pick your brain if your open to that.

I'm not ashamed to admit that I just really like the GitHub Desktop app. It's super easy to use, integrates nicely into GitHub.com and Azure / GitHub Enterprise which is what 100% of my clients use. It has every feature I nee

I’d buy that argument if their balance sheet didn’t show the vast majority of their budget going to advertising and if companies like CostPlusDrugs weren’t able to do it for pennies.

Oh yeah, I definitely checked. There are two companies that make it. Both are priced exactly the same though.

Not yet. I signed up for their alerts though and they’re adding new ones pretty quickly.

I spend $900 a month on an anti-seizure drug. At least, until I hit my $6,500 deductible. The company that makes it is publicly traded so I looked up their financials. The drug is a generic and the patent expired decades ago. Very little is

Are you and your kids healthy? I also have kids and, like most people on HN, have “good” health insurance that comes with a tech job. But get one family member that needs to see a cardiologist or neurologist every few months and you’re hitt

I might be really naive and I don’t know a lot about finance. But the fed has said unemployment is too high and their goal it to raise it by 1 percent. Does it just work like that scene in Fifth Element where some important person in the go

I graduated high school in 1995 and found these commercials so inspiring. They also got me super into the history of Bell Labs.

This is what they ended up doing. However, they also mention that many of their users are on iPads. On iPad there is no numeric only keyboard so it's not the best experience. Not terrible, but it's annoying that iPhone has a numer

I did this with my washer for years and kept it running until it was 20 years old. One day it broke again and I knew from experience the part that broke would take hours to fix. At the same time Lowes was having a sale where the fancy new u

It depends on the city code. In my county "junk cars" are not allowed at all although that's not super clearly defined, car repairs aren't allowed at all unless in "an enclosed building", and you can't hav

After that story (yesterday?) about someone being locked out of GitHub when using “sign in with Github” I was curious about this on. If you select “private” it requests permissions to change your profile and add / remove followers.
