I think the general idea is more "they're not fixing it and there is no incentive, and while we wait and see if there is, botnets are spinning up huge DDoS attacks on demand, plus much much more." The vigilante concept implie

Probably not like you're thinking. ESPN already has picked up esports and typically the esports tourneys don't overlap with major sports events. This is likely a conscious decision on the part of Riot, Valve, and so on, to ensure

Well, that's the east coast though. West coast, particular the Pacific Northwest, comes with its own culture and a lot of difficulty in getting a stable crowd. Coffee, especially currently, is one of those things that everyone has a ve

Easily. Pretty much all of the appeal and audience attraction of Yik Yak was the anonymity and the self-regulating nature of the platform. Last place I worked was a smaller University and it was tasked to me to keep en eye on the posts due

Because I don' t take it as harping on the tech - it's not the tech that's the problem, it's the hype and culture around it. There's tons of hype, many outright scams and ponzi schemes within bitcoin to point to, it

There may be a faction that thrives on the pleasure in misery of others and specifically those who follow cryptocurrencies, but it's not hard to have major doubts about Bitcoin given it's tumultuous history up to the given point.

In this case it's difficult to tell. A lot of small time acts hit it big with their one REALLY good trick they develop, or just good enough showmanship that there's reasonable doubt. I've watched the show a few times and I do

This is very true, since the idea of meritocracy doesn't do a lot to overcome business inertia of being in a Microsoft Environment. If there is a Linux solution that in every way exceeds a Microsoft Solution from a technical and price

I'm glad you wrote this as it is far more coherent than I was writing in my head while walking to the metro station. To give an example of the type of competition an Isp upstart would face, just look at what happened with google fiber.

Not necessarily - wanting even justice to be dispensed isn't the same thing as saying if one person gets away with it everyone should. It's quite a bit meta to the article, but relevant in that both defrauded money from the genera

Is the price listed on these vehicles starting at $35000 USD because of the stick shift or is that just the starting price for cars now? I haven't seriously looked at cars for well over 8 years since I moved abroad, and before that it

Well, yes. We expect that when a company presents a legal contract promising not to do something and that service X doesn't do action Y that it's truthful. If they want to enter into it to intentionally violate said contract, it j

Well hold on a minute. Part of the problem here was that when Google Apps for Education (GAFE) was introduced, privacy and security were touted as huge selling points. For years IT administrators in Education were told that GAFE was differe

Seeing a list like this and realizing just how much for-pay software is built right on top of all these OSS projects makes it seem a bit farcical, especially in light of the discussion being about copy right; the products being contented un

Like most places it varies depending on the person. I work in Russia and my colleagues range across from having very deep seated patriotism and believing in all things Russian to more moderate reviews of it. World War 2 is exceptionally rel

No, Patreon has two options: Monthly and Per Release, which has a monthly cap that patrons can set. I'm not sure that there is enough of a hook into the various platforms to allow a per-view style payment system.

I see, that was not set up at my last work place, so I was not aware it was an option. I have edited my original post to correct this with an updated content piece. Thank you both for letting me know.

I think you're somewhat understating the effect of the voting/like feedback. Even on HN which is fairly neutral to the whole social aspect of a message board, it's very clear that people take their karma seriously, even with

I would strongly agree, especially since it's already happening in the US for those who can afford the travel time, which is probably the biggest damning factor for most people. My last job was a good job, but it was University work so

I'm not sure that there really are that many full word collisions across two different alphabets. Epic versus Ерис is certainly a nice example, but how many others are there? (Also, I know there is a character that can be used to look

I disagree that adblockers are theft and that the comparison is accurate. Stores do indeed account for a small amount of theft in their budget in the way of security and special procedures, and also for actual theft. Precautions are taken,
