I was thinking the same thing, it's already clear when people us IG filters in IG. Although it's gives a great example of the cynical ignorance on this site, with the posts saying, "Meta would never allow this". Just goe

The problem is that $69 is the same price of replacement at the store, so apple is dumping their labor cost just to dissuade people from using DIY/3rd party repair.

Note, the internet is full of scammers, so I would opt for a part time PA that you can meet in person before handing over the keys to the kingdom (Or maybe I'm too paranoid)

The main reason for me is identity. Imagine that when you first got an internet connection, it didn't come with an @comcast.net or @att.com email address, but rather as part of the setup of your internet connection, let you register yo

How can we get the layperson to run a "homeserver" to host all their data locally and have a strong pki infra. 30 years ago, people would've said the same things about routers, so I think it's possible with the right ui&

The problem is that's a very strenuous argument to make (unless he could find an email that said that a customer was going to leave unless they fixed the bug) vs another engineer who found a new way of compressing emails and save the c

Usually teams would consider a machine "bad" if that node in the cluster had elevated errors compared to the rest of the cluster they were running. Unfortunately this doesn't tell hardware teams what actually went wrong. If o

Interesting idea, but I think he's a little too hung up about programming languages. I think there's space for new operating systems and that doesn't necessarily preclude the use of any programming language. We could have OSe

The problem you run into with most games is that they have to have a consistent view of the game board at least once per "tick". Most games don't have issues calculating the state of the game in a single thread for most of a

Interesting, never even considered hard links for being a reason to have separate filesystems for /usr and /home. I only considered the resizing/system updates aspect of it.

If it's so important to you, why not just sue the former employee? That's how libel is handled in the real world.

This leads to some weird ads where the ad mentions a drug (by it's clinical name) and _maybe_ also mentions a health condition but makes no claim correlating the two and that's it.

No, this is to affect the people. People without jobs or money have time and motivation to march to the capital to enact the needed policy changes to get the sanctions removed.

Before messengers, people used "phones" to communicate. The _only_ way to use these phone things were by exchanging that very same phone number that you want to keep private.

by bryan_w 5y ago
It's a bit odd that it's a deal breaker for you to keep your phone number private with signal, as that would be your only option to communicate (via phone) if no messengers existed.

The browser is the one actually opening up the connection in this case. That's why there's so much disagreement in this thread. Your browser opens the connection to the original website and downloads the base page. That base page

I don't get what you mean. If there was a large enough mailing list, people would send this stuff on it and then the list would become moderated and we would be back at square one. I'm sure the Linux kernel mailing list gets tons

So maybe the legislation should be that you have to pass a "internet operator" test to get a license that ensures you have the awareness and the skill. Because even if the current law protects you from GA, there are tons of other

That's just the promise of the internet isn't it? If YouTube didn't exist, I'm sure joerogan.com would be more popular than some university professors website. Do you want to get rid of the internet?
