I tried to go the other direction, from Linux to Mac, years ago. The two complaints I clearly remember: - I couldn't figure how the heck to open a web browser, apparently it's a completely unlabeled compass icon. - You have to us

Sexual predators are bad. I think we can all agree on that. But I have real problems with this author's position. If you blacklist someone based on allegations someone posted on the Internet, how's the guy (or gal) supposed to c

Anecdotally, I feel like young, ambitious people are the most likely to leave rural / suburban areas for cities. If the younger, more health-conscious folks are likelier to leave, it makes sense the people left behind are older and les

My question is, if you're a US startup, and you simply ignore GDPR requests, what happens? Does Europe have some way to require its ISP's to firewall you off or blackhole your DNS? Can they force Amazon to shut off your AWS accou

I'll never understand companies who can't be bothered to put a price on their product page. Do they think hiding information behind an email request form will help them sell products?

"Your job screwing bolts on cars disappeared? Learn to code and be a programmer." Great advice for the typical HN reader, but a lot of people who can learn to screw bolts on cars just don't have what it takes to be a good c

Sounds like a great weekend project for a bored hacker: Buy a Chinese drone, run a packet capture, see what it tries to send and where. For bonus points, put a logic analyzer on the PCB, dump the ROM, try to isolate the code that's d

A friend's been telling me to read a controversial book called "The Bell Curve" about the genetic basis of intelligence. The reason the book's controversial is that it builds a case that intelligence has a genetic basis,

How does the block work on a technical level? Did they just nicely ask Facebook to geo-IP block their whole country, and Facebook agreed voluntarily? Is there some legal process, where Facebook's under threat of having money/prope

With modern hardware, for this to be a meaningful percentage of your workload, you'd need to be working with super high data volumes (100 megabytes per second at the very least, maybe an order of magnitude more depending on the exact h

By definition, for open-source software, you can compile it yourself. But most users of most distros don't do that, instead they use pre-built binary packages. Which means someone has to build and upload those binary packages. How can

Why not let evolution help you, just grow a huge number of the currently "minimal" cell, sequence them all, and then repeat the experiment by replicating any mutant with a smaller genome as the new "minimal" cell?

It would be great "creative destruction" if these plants could be replaced by another industry. What needs to happen is a company, or an industry, needs to spring up that employs these thousands of displaced workers in places like
