I can completely understand that. Maybe I can understand that maybe a frontend redesign is a blocker for new tools. But you have a subreddit who has moderators who consistently organize high quality, low SNR ratio content, and who also depe

That's what's crazy to me about this whole thing. Yes, morally and ethically, the ends don't justify the means. HOWEVER, the mods were manipulating votes to bring high profile visitors to Reddit, users were happy, Reddit exec

On the flip side, moderators curate content for Reddit, and are expected to police their users, basically working for free to keep eyeballs on Reddit, for the benefit of the company. They've been begging for more tools since the creati

I tried going down your path and blogged only about stuff that's arcane or interesting tech wise, and it did nothing but cause me writer's block and turn me off blogging. Learn to write for yourself first. If you set up Raspian on

Parent already provided you an example. I feel like your question is begging for a political argument, and there's multiple places on the internet (that's not Hacker News) where you can have those.

Can't tell if this is sarcasm, so why do you think Sheryl Sandberg would be a good candidate? I personally feel like I cannot trust any Facebook leadership as Commander in Chief.

If you have a fat enough pipe, get a Peakflow-like device. They can usually support a few terabit of traffic (depending on if you're doing simple white/blacklists, or layer 7 mitigation). Might not work against the IoT bots or a s

JavaScript is a pretty popular language. Also HN is a slice of the developer community at large. I think anything that discusses JS is going to look pro-JS to a person that hates it. I don't think parent will find any high traffic deve

The redesign is a single page app, so refreshing it is not a normal workload. I can understand a large amount of pageviews on the old site since each person has to constantly reload everything, but in the redesign a user should only have to

So, yes and no. These approaches to blocking EU visitors do somewhat protect you from having to comply with GDPR. However, "targeting" can mean a lot of things. If you have global adsense campaigns that advertise your service for

Article 3 for anyone who's interested. And yeah simple VPN can beat this service. There are ways to block EU residents so as to not have to comply with the regulation, but they require more than a single piece of javascript code.

It's not a bad thing, I think they phrased it poorly. If you're doing network operations or devops work at an ecommerce business, then in a gaming company, then telco, yeah you'll definitely be more well rounded. If you'

Yep, matches my experience. We invited IBM to our company to pitch Watson, there was very little that was impressive about it. "Watson" is mostly just a coding services integration team, who will assign a team to add some basic NL

Yes but I live in Houston which is coastal, and I guarantee you can live like a king on much less than this. I have a 3k SQ ft home that I'm paying $1500/mo on, and that includes interest and escrowed taxes.

This is an advertisement masquerading as content. All new technologies go through a hype phase, then the hype dies down. Containers aren't different.

>false positives as low as 0.1 percent Nice marketing. Another way to write that? 1 in 1000. That's really really high. If you're using a service that you feel like you need 2FA on, would you really want to use this? I'll

Corporate life! I'm a very staunch 9-5'er, the entire company basically shuts down at 5pm. We do have on-call rotations but outside of those hours, we don't have communication with each other. It's a boring, but quiet li

Well, in their defense, good fun for some . But yeah, an entire organization funded by a foreign government to subvert Western civilization and democracy does not compare to a single modified comment.

Not parent but I'm guessing the rationale is that a password manager could undermine the concept of 2fa. Some believe that the "something you know" should be stored inside your head. I personally use a password manager, but c

>Even marquee cable TV shows like The Walking Dead are having trouble holding onto viewers. You can't cite that, The Walking Dead has story and writing problems outside of general TV viewership declines. I really hate advertising.

The experience might not be always better. An 8K (~IMAX, usually 4k though) screen and Dolby Atmos beat out what I have in my house that's for sure, but I concede that's usually overridden by noisy neighbors. But, I can chose any

Yes. The CNC wanted Netflix to show their movie in more than a measly 6 cinemas since it was showing at Cannes, and the windowing regulations require 3 years before a movie can go from cinema to streaming. This is mostly a protectionist cin
