That trope is sort of bullshit. Both matter. It does apply when the idea is some kitschy social media thing but not so much when it's a real key innovation.

Not sure about legislators but there have been plenty of shooters. There have also been plenty who seem to have no ideological motive. My point was that no single ideology has a monopoly on violence. Some like neo-Naziism or militant leftis

Kansas City and Detroit are both real deals if you can find good work or bring it with you. Both have cool personality and very nice areas and are dirt cheap.

A great recent example is the ugly Rube Goldberg machine under the OSX GUI that led to the recent root bug. Look under the hood and it's really a mess. Windows is even worse. It's amazing it works at all. Linux is generally cleane

The extreme right freakout over the last few years is just a subset of a more systemic problem. I don't think it's ideological. I think it's the isolation epidemic. There are huge numbers of angry, lonely, alienated people. I

Given the lack of a powered descent mechanism I'm thinking it'll be more of a crater surrounded by bits of aluminum, plastic, and lithium. Personally I think it would be funnier to put a Tesla into an eccentric comet-like solar or

Bonus theory #2: few IPOs means few newly minted angels. Bonus #3: huge companies still sucking up VC like Uber are crowding out smaller investments.

There are lots of better NAT busters that are way faster and more versatile. Of course I'm partial because I made one: https://www.zerotier.com/ There are others ways too like libp2p, webrtc, etc. Tor is an anonymity l

You're right. I'm not talking about Bitcoin but about the technology and understanding that it represents. Bitcoin itself is a proof of concept project that's unfortunately become a silly bubble. Forget about coins or even cu

Weird to see Tor as a connectivity solution. I guess if you really don't care about performance.

So ship the first thing then do the second thing. You get two things from this. First, your storage system gets battle tested. Second, you get the credibility of joining the ranks of those who can actually ship quality software.

Storage costs are hyper-deflationary. We have a NAS on a desk with 27 terabytes of storage and it cost under $1000 (with drives) and consumes about 40 watts of power. Ten years ago this would have cost closer to $5000-$10000 and consumed hu

Bikeshedding this some more because HN is for bikeshedding... I am toying around with the wacky heresy that Karl Marx (not Lenin) was right. Capitalism will evolve into socialism. It would be a form of socialism we haven't seen yet and

Come to Los Angeles / Orange County, where a blinker is a signal for the driver behind you in the lane you are merging into to floor it. Coupled with 12-16 lane freeways this makes for good times.

Is this the hyper- deflationary collapse of a currency? Hyperinflation gets all the rhetoric but currencies in fact have two different failure modes. (Well three if you count apocalypse but that's different.)

You're probably right in this case, but as for the last part consider that the Earth is a gravity well and the ISS has been in space for a very long time. Earth is going to draw in particles and the ISS has had plenty of time to catch

Several reasons: (1) IPv6 is a usability disaster. Addresses are not memorable, hard to type, and annoying to cut and paste. DNS solves some of these issues but is another system that can break. Network engineers deal in IP addresses becaus
