Slow, buggy, and brittle. What is a good replacement for a small team that needs to share logins, passwords, and other secrets?

Obviously, anyone can blacklist anyone for any reason on the Internet and relay nodes' IPs are public. But do they? I run a relay node on my personal server and never had any issues. But 1) I rarely browse the Internet from that IP and

Communism was such a disaster you can barely tell whether its genocides were intentional!

Being able to walk away from the deal is crucial in every negotiation. There is no limit to real estate. It's the same in employment, business, and yes, international diplomacy.

Supposedly it does improve health outcomes because tiredness is less of a killer than patient handoffs between doctors.

This is the managerialist dream. To replace employees' judgement and competence with a process and management methodology. That way everyone is just a replaceable cog in their beautiful machine. It never works.

They haven't turned that quickly. Americans were richer than Europeans for centuries. The American colonies led Great Britain in purchasing power per capita from 1700, and possibly from 1650, until 1774, even counting slaves in the po

Even the libertarian wing of the Republican party doesn't really believe that anyone can live without an ID nowadays. I'm not an American and while I rarely have to produce an ID, going without one entirely would be impossible. Al

Successful popular movements are almost always led by elite class traitors. It's been like that at least since the Populares.

The other reason is that a typical urban, liberat arts thought and discussion seems to have deteriorated greatly in the age of Internet. Or maybe lack of filtering through time and publishers just allowed for the usual quality to surface. E

This is demonstrably not true today because Google wrote the operating system of my phone and I block all ads on it.

I don't know anyone who would support Russia in that conflict but Ukraine itself isn't very popular with many due to unresolved Volhynia massacres[1]. Mostly though people just don't care about a low intensity war that feels

We weren't really oppressed by our government. The March events, as they're know here, were mostly homegrown commies pushing out the Jewish wing of the party with decent people getting caught in the purge and following protests. B

But I still don't want to carry two phones. Which is why I only redirect my company phone regular voice calls to the private one when I'm out of office. If it's urgent, call. If it's not, I'll get to it when I'

Yes, monopolies might actually turn out for the better. I can't really think of an example but in principle why not, maybe this time it will be an enlightened monopoly.

recommended haircuts for men every 15 days reminds me of the GSElevator tweet[1] #1: Haircuts are the ultimate economic indicator. In bad times, it's every 8 weeks. In good, it's every 6. #2: I go every 3 weeks. thus once agai

I completely agree with you. I block ads on principle and will do so even if they're unobtrusive and backed by blockchain-based profit sharing. Judging by this being the top comment, many HN-ers agree with you as well. The Internet pop

Feedly is excellent. If they only added decent feed management to their Android client (unsubscribing from a post level in particular), it would be perfect.

You can't un-execute someone. You can't give a person two decades of their life back either. Sure, it's better to only take away two decades from someone than all of their remaining years but not as much as people like to b
