24 is a much better example than Fringe. If Fringe depicts torture as a tool, it also depicts time travel as a tool and wacky science as a tool, but I don't see the author taking umbrage. Fringe, like 24, is a work of fiction. The pr

And suddenly, people like Richman Stallman seem much less crazy when they ask for free (as in libre ) hardware, free BIOS, free everything.

Professional basketball, football, concertist, etc... Professions where only the very best can succeed. Maybe you can learn piano at 21 and go on to become a renowned performer, but there's usually a correlation with learning things ea

Don't worry, your reclassification request has been duly archived to /dev/null for later review. They are probably going to receive tens of thousands of requests so I wouldn't expect them to be read by a human. If that&#

Indeed, and the title is incorrect too. Function names were not renamed to end up different buckets; Their names were picked that way.

You'd have to qualify what "poorly designed" means or even what language you're talking about. In that mail, Lerdorf recounts his time writing PHP/FI nearly twenty years ago. It's like judging the current Linux

Your comment reads like you're living in the 60s. I don't think that modern families have the kind of "ritualistic" meals you're describing.

The "mold" part of the title feels especially disingenuous.

It's about the intention. Banksy's intention was to create art. The other guy's intention was to destroy. You can see art in destruction if you want, but the guy's intention clearly was to vandalize. Same reason why Jack

Ideally, I'd want every store to reject minified code but at the same time I'd want them to automatically minify extensions while making their full sources available as a separate download.

So to sum it up: the dad uses a computer at work and drives a 2010 car, but his son wears a mullet and can't have video games. Why are they (minus dad) living like it's '86 again? > Earlier this year, Blair says, he was ha

Interesting. I wonder how much of it comes from officers being more self-conscious and from people being less likely to file a claim they know would be easily disproved.

It's like saying you wouldn't use cars that run on water because you'd have to change your car fleet. It's an investment. The question is not how much you save this year, it's when will you actually save money.

Non-rhetorical question: is your team concerned that not paying out a bounty for this report may be exploited by anti-semitic groups? I can already picture people saying "of course, Mark Zuckerberg would refuse to acknowledge the wor

You can get decent savings (~90-95% of the optimized size) with some brute force at the encoder level, more time spent testing different filters and rearranging the palette, but it takes a lot of CPU for little gain. At some point, you migh

Indeed, if searching for pressure cookers and backpacks really get law enforcement to your door (assuming this article is factual) then you definitely don't want them to look into your garage/toolshed where you may have some ferti

Not sure whether your comment is sarcastic. Having to use a VPN to read about Tiananmen is not exactly my definition of freedom. Also, people who walk around at night, shirtless and with an open beer in the hand are usually drunks/douc

I didn't realize that you could respond with image macros on HN. Ok, so it's a complicated image. The first thing I thought is it looks like the schema of a simple arithmetic operation in a processor. Meaning that it looks complic

But if you do that you have to configure your server for it, and your server still has to handle the request. The file is 2KB gzipped; Serving the file or a redirection is basically the same thing.

Most law enforcement agencies have something of that sort. From what I understand, what they distribute is a database of hashes to identify files. I don't know if the original material is preserved.

You could also injure a pedestrian. Do you realize that you can hurt an elderly person on the sidewalk with a bike as much as a car can hurt you on the road?

What hurts me is that people are acting surprised that spy agencies are spying on people. Their job is to collect intelligence. If they can read your emails, they will. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_intelligenc

It's an automatic translation, so wording may be haphazard. I note that "offenbar" (from the original article) can also mean "obvious", as in "It was apparent that the authorities had read her correspondence.&
