This is a fair point and one I hear often, but can you be sure that for as long as you live, you will never have a reason to fear the global adversary? I trust my government (within reason) at the moment but I'm not comfortable betting

Is it me or is that site lacking in any information what-so-ever? How does it work? Even vaguely? What is your privacy policy? Where can I learn more about who you are (without going to Facebook)? Edit: Formatting

Mr Williams was the face of comedy for me growing up, as much as Jack Nicholson could be said to be "the face of evil". I love the work done by Mr Williams and will be watching Mrs Doubtfire tonight. I was watching The Daily Show

I say this without any knowledge of the profitability of such a venture, and as someone who does not live in Australia but who is familiar with the running joke that they have poor Internet: How about run a new cable, or two, to Australia?

Excellent list! I had no idea there was so much interest in home automation software, though ironically Ive considered writing my own more than once. The next question that comes to mind though is hardware support. Eg, a lightswitch that wo

Please be sure to post on the HN Hiring page when you do start hiring. Your startup sounds like the kind that won't have trouble attracting people, myself included.

Does B include people who are factually incorrect and easily proven wrong with a simple intuitive Google search? Eg they misrepresented a fact, not presented a dissenting opinion. To me it does, and I downvote that.

I don't understand what the point of password and pgp protecting the data is. Typically with torrents, if they're password protected they get shunned. Most torrent downloading software is even programmed to ignore .zip files becau

Sounds more like Transmission was pre-allocating those files. At 38 gigs, even an SSD would be busy for a while.

It sounds like the FCC is not able to force companies to hand over this information, and in light of that it makes sense for them not to turn around and publish it though I still wish they would. IMO the FCC should have the teeth to force c

Do you have to be concerned that those countries may subpoena the VPS provider? You're right that data grabbing isn't isolated to the US but I argue no, not if the point of concern is specific to one government entity instead of a

This is fantastic news because I've recently been looking for a VPS with 0 ties to the United States and it can be tricky to determine who owns who. With this ruling, I expect more companies to be advertising the fact that they operate

I would suggest Password Gorilla if you don't want your passwords stored in the cloud.

I like this idea. It doesn't even have to be turned on by default, it could be an opt-in kernel module that doesn't load until you ask for it.

IMO you shouldn't have to do that, so I flagged it.

Maybe John Oliver will do another segment on it. That last one was quite good. Hehe, dingo.

What I find horrifying is that this has a good chance of sucking in enough people so as to set a precedent that it's acceptable, despite the on-going Netflix shenanigans which have been doing a pretty good job of raising awareness for

I was disappointed that there was no mention of how to get out of the common problem situations when working in multi-user git projects. Eg, you've done work on a branch, and then attempted to pull in recent updates from master, but no

Disregarding the conflation, I think the key point here is passion. I want to work with people who have passion for what they do. You don't have to keep doing it when you get home at the end of the day, but if all you're doing thi

It seems that whenever there is an S followed by a T in the content on that page, they form some kind of curious little symbol. I haven't seen that before, is anyone else seeing that? Is this some kind of encoding problem on my end?

That warning is really irritating, and I get the security concern but the fact that there is no way to silence, minimize, or otherwise hide that notification in any way bothers me. I don't understand why there is no way of telling it

I get that some developers want to protect what they consider a private API, but consider it from the other side. As a user, I think I have the right to know that you're not secretly uploading my contact list to your servers. Anything

This is not legal advice. My understanding of Canadian law is that discussing your pay for the purposes of preventing wage discrimination is explicitly legal. This information is from a senior colleague who helped me stand up for myself (th

We break them. Take your colleagues out to lunch and explain that in order to determine if there is any on-going wage discrimination that you think that the group should share their salaries with each other, and that you're willing to
