OTOH, doesn't the [sic] come after the word? Never seen it like this.

I actually agree that the true underlying problem is how uninformed and easily manipulated our populace is. I agree that this wouldn't be an issue if our society was better off and more knowledgeable. Regardless, I disagree that we sho

I suppose that's fair; I thought about noting that. Technically there is no evidence since the public can't see it. But, re: voting systems, this was a recent headline: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/electio

This is remarkably disingenuous. The Russians hacked into both political parties and leaked their information selectively to support their agenda. They even got access to voting rolls. There is no evidence AFAIK that they changed anything,

Interesting. You seem quite well-read in science fiction. Could I ask you (or anyone) for some recommendations, as someone who rates the Dune and Foundation series highly?

I've seen and heard 'codes' in scientific computing, but nowhere else. Seems to support your hypothesis

I was not aware being a customer is defined by availability of support. You're a customer of X if you pay for goods/services from X. As customers, we're just not nearly as valuable as a big advertiser.

Seems obvious to me that the guy wasn't interested in the job when he was told to do fizzbuzz, hence the stunt. Being "egotistical" was kinda the whole point.

SQL?? What is the argument for that?

They bought the building and thus don't need to rent. What's the confusion?

come on. There's a silver lining, sure. But it's still a massive failure. It's not a comparison between no project and a disastrous project, it's one between disastrous and successful.

the OP is likely not a security professional. Is it really surprising that he/she did not expect this result?

Pretty horrifying to think about. A stray mutation somewhere could wreak absolute havoc on the world. Reminds me of "The Golden Man" by Philip K. Dick

Recently my impression of the WSJ is incredibly poor. Just BS article after BS article. To me the bias has never been more obvious. Though I only see their content on aggregators like HN, so perhaps that plays a part.

Agreed completely, this is basically clickbait meant to stir up anti-China sentiment

The doomsday clock is somewhat silly, but I disagree in general. I think "appeal to authority" fallacy is misunderstood. How is it illogical to listen to qualified authorities? It only breaks when one uses authority in one field t

yes? What's the point of combatting misinformation with misinformation? not as bad of course, plus the intentions seem good, but still.

This kind of article is worthy of techcrunch front page? Maybe someone's personal blog at best. The only value in this post is from the links to Bloomberg and WSJ

I haven't heard any sentiments like this from even the most die-hard Apple fans. Care to elaborate on how the X is so revolutionary? What phone did you have before it?

So quick to claim malice and deception, when the likelier story is that cost/revenue per unit sold isn't public. I would be hesitant before throwing out accusations and claims so irresponsibly. Have you done any analysis of game s

That's pretty cool. Just moved out here and have been wondering about how to meet people. Maybe I'll do what you do!

Maybe because people are terrible at evaluating long-term vs. short-term benefits. Politicians need concrete things to point at to keep getting elected. Saying that "I voted for your life to improve in X years" won't help the

I have just realized that I have never heard anything remotely close to "dim sum" when talking about dim sum, in both Mandarin and Cantonese. I've only heard "ying cha" or "yum cha." In fact I had to searc

There has to be a solution where we can remove the A-pillars entirely and have a single unbroken window. I know it doesn't mean much, but I would pay significantly for that, for peace of mind and safety.

Seriously, it's absurd. I cannot believe the mental gymnastics people will go to in order to justify their behavior. At least accept that you're doing something wrong.
