   I suppose a fair amount can be attributed to the fluorescent tan. Little sunlight or fresh air. I found it hard to switch to the office lifestyle and frequently go for walks even in bad weather for relief. I think hackers that make physical

   The thing is, even if you somehow manage to unilaterally hamsting US intelligence efforts, which is extremely unlikely because the entire West is complicit, you will still be spied on unless you protect yourself with extreme measures which

   Learning to code does not mean programmer, but if you learn a little bit about creating software you will have a peak behind the curtain and will be better able to assess what is practical and what is not as well as have some sympathy for t

    I find it amusing to see articles like this that are up voted because the title paints the US in a bad light, but upon reading casts Europe in a bad light and therefore gets flagged.

    Are you trying to imply that 25,000 cases in Europe is less important than 175 cases in the US?

    Vapid articles like this are up voted on HN on the mistaken idea that this somehow is bringing America down a notch. Inaccuracies of this story aside, people that want America to fail would be much better served by actually building somethi

    Can you expand on why that is the case? If your runway is running out and taking a loss on operating costs is not an option how can it be better to just fold it?
