I'm not sure why this is being downvoted. I had a similar experience. Witeboard seems to have trouble with curves. Trying to draw an "o" would invariably result in geometric shapes, a perfect circle, or some sort of rectangle

The response to this news on HN has been very disappointing. By contrast, there was a lively apolitical discussion[0] back in 2015 about the effort to bring Snowden back to the US. On the other hand, people now seem more concerned about the

He's being intentionally vague. The attacker is obviously aware of his posts. If he reveals how he is indentifying the relays, they will change according. If you read between the lines, he gives a few hints with regards to the sslstrip

I've never understood why people espouse China's "4000 year history". The government purged nearly all aspects of traditional Chinese society during the Cultural Revolution. If you want to be reminded of China's his

I'm similarly skeptical of the government, but this is no Lee Harvey Oswald. There's no dead president. These "double your cash" scams are widespread and some of the least sophisticated sorts of scams. It was poorly word

Probably. I live in Seattle and people seem to frequently complain about having to see homeless and other "undesirables" in their neighborhood. I love it when their posts also include stealthy photos of the offenders in question.

Making cake for the rich isn't an example of the broken window fallacy either, and I'm not sure what that has to do with anything. Cash for clunkers is an example of the fallacy, operating a vehicle (be it a car or jet) for work&#

From the video, some of the subtle strategies fascists use to code their ideas: 1) They deny being a fascist. 2) Euphemism (e.g. I'm a X, not a fascist or talking about purging criminals, rapists and terrorists which is actually code f

It goes both ways. Children of the well-off can end up feeling abandoned in daycares and boarding schools. Compared to other children who are generally raised by their parents (or close family members) with whom they develop a strong bond,

I'm not sure how well this works on newer versions of Android (probably not at all), but you used to be able to use a Tasker application context and the Secure Settings System+ module to automatically switch the IME depending on what a

That wouldn't be unheard of. There was a regional site in the SF Bay a few years back (myRedBook) registered out of Seychelles. Whole lot of good that did them though, since they still picked up their checks in the valley.

Speeches are written. Interviews are scripted. Personas are cultivated. I'm not sure how it would be able to ascertain whether a politician is a sociopath any more than it would be able to determine whether Brad Pitt is after analyzing

Many people also turn to crime in an attempt to escape poverty or a dying town. Certainly we can have empathy for desperate people making difficult decisions, but it doesn't absolve them of moral agency or place them above scrutiny.
