The megacorps' refusal to negotiate or compromise is what caused the problem. They are the villains, not the working people being understaffed, underpaid, and hated on by selfish third parties who don't understand solidarity.

Teachers are also paid crap because they continue to work for starvation wages. They should strike more because they will not receive more compensation with gentle pleas that are convenient.

The point of strikes isn't to be unobtrusive or convenient. You're just saying people should work for nothing and not take the fat cats to task for underpaying them. Maybe if you stood for solidarity with the workers, you would ha

The HP 48GX got me through from high school college prep to EE/CS. I also happen to own an HP 48 overhead projector display and a thermal printer. Now, I just need an overhead projector to even use (the former). Sharing software was th

I think it should be a tribute to Claude-Nicolas Fiechter, Mika Heiskanen, and Bernard Parisse who came up with Erable. There is Giac/Xcas now that it is its spiritual successor.

Socialism for the rich when it affects them; deregulation, austerity, and price hikes for everyone else. Fun fact: The rich in America receive 2x as much help as social programs do, and that doesn't even count the pork MIC projects tha

Every well-funded nationstate has an "equations group", but it is rare to detect, much less publicize, their actions by design. External buses and RF comms present massive attack surfaces that must be locked down with religious fe

When private edifices rival public institutions, it should give people pause that there is policy failure or decline teetering on collapse.

The corporate neocons and neoliberals are vampirically sacrificing and selling off essential commonwealth public infrastructure and cultural institutions for profit to the detriment of long term investment. The net result is decline and re

Put yourself in their shoes before leaping to hand waiving how it would be "better for everyone else." 100% automation of cranes means lost jobs.

They still don't have cryptographic signatures widely signing gems despite deploying optional infrastructure to do it. What a waste and sad.

Yep. His efforts were completely counterproductive and worthless. Right analysis but entirely wrong and stupid prescription. I read several of his books out of tackling of infamous works like Mein Kampf and Das Kapital. I couldn't brin

The lack of integrity and human values of the person is orthogonal to the issue but the issue is forevermore tainted and set back with such an infamous association. Antihero in not a good way, a ruinous villain who did infinitely more harm

Technology singularity is around the corner as soon as the chips (mostly) design themselves. There will be a few engineers, zillions of semiskilled maintenance people making a pittance, and most of the world will be underemployed or unemplo

This zombie trope gets temporarily beaten to death in the media as a wedge issue every few months. Schools are sucking more and more selectively by demographic and generally for average Western pupils. Most people who read HN likely had or

There is a book about how women had better orgasms under Communism in the GDPR. While the premise seems far-fetched, it kind of makes sense and is inconvenient for adherents of the prevailing anarcho-capitalist worldview. https:/&#x2F

Redis is slow and doesn't scale out well. Couchbase used to be a decent choice but it went commercial pseudo-FOSS.

The anti-pattern to be avoided is cobbling together a nonperformant grand centralized ESB and making it a SPoF and bottleneck for everything, but it depends entirely on the use-case. MQTT scales to millions of devices for low data rates. ZK

Renting space in a colo and running EBGP on leased dark fiber to HE is real self hosting. VPSes while more convenient are definitely nothing like running metal. For a lot of stuff that doesn't need constant public network connectivity,

Yep. The problem with outside advice is that it's too often a low-effort opinion missing the context founders in the arena have. Another problem is too many rich people don't fully intellectualize the advantages or dumb luck (timi
