You make it sounds like this is a victimless crime, but it is not. It creates a nuisance for other people, and possibly even a health hazard for some. For example, many workplaces and elevators have signs prohibiting wearing perfume and c

Punishment should be proportional with the difficulty of finding the violators and enforcing the statutes. There's far too many instances where people simply get away with smoking, so, for those instances where solid proof is available

I got a 99 USD Chromebook, AArch64 based, and I think it's amazing. It's so underpowered that it's incapable of consuming more than about 4W of power even at 100% CPU, which is a major benefit if you care about the power cons

Actually, Chromebooks have proprietary firmware, without the standard BIOS, so often it's a NO. However, on some of the earlier x86 machines, it is possible to install a more standard boot environment: https://mrchromebox.te

Note that it's 8 years since first release. Which means that the device you buy brand-new might only have 6 years left if it was first released 2 years ago — even if it was assembled just a month ago. E.g., you can't even use the

Anyone's keeping track of Twitter's supposed promise to not use phone numbers outside of 2FA? IIRC, this is at least a third email / phone number dataleak bug that they have.

You're implying they're trying to make you work for free? I think it's a rather simple test to see if you're up for the job. Understanding the problem is already half the solution; to me, this sort of a qualifier seems t

Zero mention of any actual numbers for the decision — price, convenience, improvement compared to existing fleet. How's this outrage propaganda relevant to HN?

Came to comment just that! Isn't that ironic? The "best" part is all this bloat doesn't even add any real extra functionality of value. Simply extra bullet points to the resumes of the folk who build all these sites.

I call this "protection from real customers". If it takes me 5 minutes to solve this puzzle of yours, I just lost 5/60 of my hourly wage, which could easily be $10 or more. What a novel idea to protect your website from real

Sounds pretty cool! TBH, I don't understand how the "modern" app security models are not deemed to be fundamentally insecure in 2021 where any random app on any random system can simply leak your whole photo library to their

So, basically, a reverse discrimination against people who know what's going on? The same thing happens with corporate VPNs. I guess it only makes sense that Apartment.com doesn't want your business if you're making a bank at

This is exactly the issue with quotas like that. For any action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. What often happens as a result of such policies is that the weaker or newer managers simply become an unwitting separation/fi

The 6% URA goal is actually a company-wide directive from the S-team. In this example, we actually see an individual org within the company trying to push against the company-wide policy.

So the whole innovation amounts to simply being a cloud provider? I think a lot of people overestimate the importance of AWS. It's both funny and sad to see people think they need AWS for the most basic compute tasks that are easier an

That's a very shallow (non)argument. Why does it matter if the noon is at 12:00 or 13:00?

That's pretty hilarious. I'm all for ending the switchover, but what's the big difference between permanent DST vs. Standard Time? Is it just because people have to work 9 to 5? Is 10 to 6 not an option? Interestingly, when t
