Oof, the headline doesn't even really do it justice. The monthly broadcast fee increased between 12-40% for the examples the article provides. Also, apparently it's not apart of the advertised pricing (if I'm reading the arti

I've been able to find pride in a lot of places I've worked even if they aren't the most obvious. When I worked in retail IT, I found I could help and comfort people through some of the scariest moments. Tech and data are som

Probably, unless you could maybe prove that the private companies were acting as agents of the government.if that was the case then I guess it would be the government's responsibility. I think I remember seeing on the internet that was

I'm skeptical of this article as well, but I think what they are trying to say is that the government forced the social media companies' hands by influencing popular opinion which could cause backlash on the companies. Right now I

I'm no lawyer, but the article seems to imply is that the government forced these private companies to comply with silencing critics with some sort of punishment. I imagine that probably would be a violation of the 1st amendment. But I

That's the opposite of my experience even to this day. As long as you follow question asking etiquette (do research before you ask, don't ask to ask, explain what you've tried so far, etc), people are usually good at answerin

Technology specific IRCs are still great resources as well!

I know nothing about this sort of stuff, but if this were applied to cars, would there be an increased risk of temporarily blinding other drivers on a sunny day?

I would understand your frustration if these were layoffs, but the article doesn't indicate that at all. They also aren't immediately being kicked out of their jobs, the work is just going to wind down over the next few months unt

Is there an easy way (without having to research and install 3rd party software) for non techie users to be able to set their email client to Gmail, AOL, etc? I know a lot of people who prefer to use their email in the browser without using

Who do you think has more power? A group of anonymous internet "trolls" attacking and harassing an individual or the individual who can't do anything to stop it? Freedom of speech may protect against government consequences b

They are forced to comply with legal warrants. They can try to fight some things, but if the warrant doesn't even mention everything (like abortion suspicions) then what do you expect? Though I would say, they appear to be choosing to

I can believe that this particular case wasn't Meta being nefarious and trying to get specific people in trouble over a possible abortion. But I don't think that was ever the real concern here. The press release only enforces my c

I haven't seen much of what he says in general so I don't know if he has a really antagonistic trend in his he talks. I interpreted what he said to mean "I have respect for devs who approach this for just the art, but if you

A portfolio is a great start, but how would a potential employer know you weren't lying/plagerizing/etc without some sort of technical test?

by crayboff 4y ago
This isn't really a great example of the point, however. This wasn't a story about a large company that cut corners for the sake of speed and efficiency just because there was context could have justified it.

It's relatively rare on the internet, even in HN, that all of the nuance would be seen or understood before people jumped to conclusions.

Ironically it seems he may have only read the beginning of the article and skimmed past the rest.

They scan all mail already, that's how it gets routed to each home. Informed delivery just has them email you those images they are already taking. Also in case you were thinking it, they don't open the boxes/letters. It&#x27

Thanks for the clarification, I interpreted your original post as referring to the story and not the side note about Assange.

As much as I enjoy blaming the Trump administration, this story didn't actually name Trump/Holder/Pompeo. This all happened under Obama's admin with Comey Your point still stands though regardless

If you're using that as an argument for why cheating should be allowed, you're missing the key part of what what education is supposed to be about: understanding the fundamentals well enough that you can think of of the box and fi

They're not just talking about prerequisite courses. If someone is willing to cheat in a Comp Sci course, they're probably willing to cheat on a Literature class.

That would be immediately seen as Facebook charging people to be unbanned. That would lead to people claiming FB bans accounts to make money.

Yeah, I hate to admit it, but unless something in the back of my head makes me suspicious of the information I'm reading, I probably won't go past the first couple results that confirm it.

I think the issue is the lower barrier of access. Every small step added to the process discourages the use: get driven to the store, walking to the counter, talking to the employee, physically pulling money out of your pocket, physically
