Screen time is very limited in our house, but having it for traveling is absolutely necessary. We have had some very long and very loud flights with my daughter and I am willing to do anything to prevent that again, including setting an iPa

Why does it need to send your OS and browser version to check for updates? Couldn't it just look up whatever the latest versions are?

I’m a man and don’t have direct experience with this, but a few female friends, my wife, and both of my younger sisters have had unwanted sexual experiences at work. It was a sobering moment when I realized this. I’ve been in the tech indus

What is my grandmother going to do with that information? She doesn’t know what a certificate is, only that her bank is giving her some warning. Users don’t need this warning, developers do.

In my expensive area of CA, a gold insurance plan for a family of 4 costs $20,400 per year. That’s an insurance plan with a $0 deductible and $30 co-pay per doctor visit. That is far from the most basic health plan. A plan with a $12k deduc

I have a cheap bidet similar to this https://www.amazon.com/Luxe-Bidet-Neo-180-Non-Electric/dp/B0... and I LOVE IT! It takes about 10 seconds to clean, and only takes 1 wipe to dry. There are fancier models that h

>On the other hand, there is increased wear on city and county roads (many of which are gravel), and increased load on water, sewer, and sanitation services. Why would renters cause more wear on those resources than full time occupants?

I wouldn't be surprised if there are other libraries in other languages that also have the same bug. golang had the same bug which was fixed in this commit: https://github.com/golang/go/commit/829c5df5869

I just noticed that. I guess they didn't think it was actually an exploitable bug? Edit: this bug sat around for almost 2 years, it will be interesting to see if it gets fixed now that it is getting attention on Hacker News

One of my college roommates was considering running for office one day. He spent a lot of effort to keep his social media presence clean including avoiding group photos at parties. This was in 2004-2009, and at the time I thought that he wa

I would do that... but I like my house and my stuff. Plus, my wife wouldn't approve. I am not saying that it is 'evil' but it does contribute to the wealth gap in our society. I definitely don't want it to go away, I wan

Nothing about this surprises me. Just another thing in the long list of ways that wealthy people are able to keep their wealth, and pass it on to their children. I had college paid for in full by my parents, and they also were able to provi
