I made the switch to libreoffice a few years back. For simple word documents, it works well. It breaks down when you are using something like Excel with complex macros/calculations. This is why most companies continue to use Microsof

This has been happening since 2008 (and probably even earlier). Why do we only mention all of these Russian trolls when it could potentially help a candidate/politician you dislike? When Obama ran in 2008, the trolls were out in full

Obama did something similar in 2008. He was called a tech genius and starting a political revolution that all future politicians will follow. The tech articles I saw shortly after were falling all over themselves to praise Obama and his ca

"Democracy, unions, healthcare and education: these are the forces that matter" True. But capitalism is the only reason any of these actually work.

"Give with an open hand, and stop thinking about the tokens with which you will be repaid. Be happy to be worth stealing from. The future owes you nothing." I see ideas like this regularly on HN, yet when it comes to the GNU/

This is why I stopped selling on Amazon. It's compelling because there's a built-in customer base. But in the long-run, they will use your selling data against you and eventually attempt to put you out of business by finding a c

He doesn't deserve compassion because almost every video we see online is staged and fake and created by him. He's been making the rounds on Sirius and many podcasts. I don't even know if I believe his health problems or his

well, I can attribute to anything, if there is no explanation. When I first posted this, I had multiple down votes in the span of a few seconds with barely enough time for someone to read or even process my comments. It just seemed very su

"Pernickety" I've never heard anyone use this word, even though it might be technically correct. At some point culture changes words and the new word is the correct one.

All of the things you mention have so much competition, it's not going to be easy to make enough money to quit your job in the short-term (if you want to rely on advertising). Maybe in 5 years if you started now. It's better to c

If you asked me about 1password a few years ago, I would agree with you. Ever since they went to the cloud, I stopped using and recommending them to friends and family. I now use Keypss, which is free and doesn't require the cloud. Th

"Poor people are working two to three jobs to make ends meet, especially single mothers. Being poor is bad enough, have a higher mortality rate now you want to destroy their health" I will say the same thing that many say when the

"Maybe we should have a living wage" We already have a living wage. Amazon is paying at least $15/hour in all their warehouses and many other companies pay well over minimum wage for jobs that require little to no education.

I have great idea. Since poor people can't pay very much in taxes, how about we have required government work programs to make up the difference? IE: you won't get paid, you will work your tax bill off in the form of labor..duri

I spent a year teaching English in China and most of the teachers were early 20-somethings that were there to party and have a good time..and pay for their lifestyle teaching. I honestly wouldn't want them teaching my kids. I don&#x27

If companies take too much of China's money, they can and will use it as leverage to stifle free speech.

There's no proof of anything and the actions of this user and other users responding to the tweet are just childish. This right here is the problem with social media: A company or person's reputation can get tarnished simply becau

This seems way over-complicated as compared to Cron. I don't see it gaining that much acceptance.

I see two problems with remote work being the norm at most companies: 1) most people don't have the discipline to work remotely. I've been working remotely for a decade. I'm a self-starter and have run my own businesses. I

That doesn't sound like a startup. It sounds like they are running a lifestyle business, which isn't a bad thing. Startups, by definition, try to scale up quickly..which means lots of money (investors) and lots of time (overtime

Do you have proof that no fiber cable was laid down in any part of the US?

This article is referencing fiber. It's also disingenuous (and just factually incorrect) to say there is 'nothing' in return. https://www.highspeedinternet.com/providers/fiber Multiple companies offering
