I think this unfortunately contradicts player expectations most of the times. Even for non-gaming "random" things, people tend to see patterns where there aren't any, and "fairly close to true" random functions feel

This makes a little more sense for what I saw with the downloads history when I installed it. But I was also very confused because it was listing a lot of local files that weren't accessed by my chrome install, and seemed to have links

I live in Russia at the moment and probably the most startling thing is how well planned many of the cities and towns are and how very clearly these cities were not made for cars. While it's a hassle for vehicle traffic because the roa

I think this somewhat misses the forest for the trees - the case against VW and the punishment isn't over hypothetical deaths, it's about cheating the emissions tests and not complying with regulatory standards. In a tangential wa

Ah, okay, I understand your point and see my misunderstanding. I would still suggest they have more sway in feature pushing than any other manufacturer, insomuch that when Apple sets something in stone, even the very unpopular removal of th

I'm not sure what you would classify as a revolution - in Apple's case, they pretty much set the standard for what smartphone design would be after the release of the first, were the subject of countless imitations, and IIRC, Goog

To elaborate for the above commenter, ticket master sales for popular events often sell out within seconds of the sale starting as a swarm of bots attacks the site and buy up available tickets. It usually takes just a few minutes for ticket

I think the problem rests more on the fact that as it stands Facebook profits regardless as to whether or not you use it. The same collection happens across numerous non-Facebook sites and apps, from data other people reveal about you, from

I would agree with this. I hadn't taken the time to read the man for smartctl and understand the output from smartctl -a until I saw this article, and I'm glad I now have. Since I work with a lot of clients that do all on-premise

Well, in all fairness with regards to cold, this is going to happen with batteries - it's just their nature. When it's -20ºC out, my old iPhone 4s can only be out for so long before the already depleted battery just dies off. But

I disagree as there is a pretty broad spectrum of activities that you might not want broadcasted publicly. Sexual acts, politial opinions, social opinions, partners, etc, all of these are commonly used to discriminate by all groups. Not wan

It is a concern and they do adjust for this. For example, undersold flights or flights with many absent passengers will temporarily redistribute passengers during take off to ensure "balance". On a recent flight from Minneapolis t

Please expand on what you find disagreeable here, else the post is just white noise and not really appropriate for HN. I do think the author's reasoning in that part is flawed and a bit vengeful simply because it seems to me like a mis

I cannot speak for all restaurants and all counties, but as noted in my comment, I'm currently abroad in Russia (St. Petersburg), and while it's true that the servers generally don't check in for anything else other than the

I disagree with the conclusion since the premise (tipped wages make for unstable work) is exactly what the restaurant owners are complaining about, and many servers do as well. As others replied, the high payout often overshadows the rainy

Probably not much cause it'd look like гоогle.com or something else silly. The Cyrillic g character would stand out and most Russians would go to yandex before Google so accidental Russian traffic would be barely worth the effort. The

I disagree. I'm an expatriated US citizen, and I find the restaurant service abroad on par with US restaurants, with the only difference being how much lip service is given by the servers. To explain it simply, in US restaurants, I fee

Very rarely do I cite market forces to address social problems, but to me this feels like an appropriate situation for it. Restaurants are constantly getting applications, and many who do not do well on high-tip nights will appreciate the s

Facebook's Wrong Password page has a bunch of weird behavior that, as a lay person, I disagree with. Entering an old password into Facebook will tell you as such [1]. I can't really think of a practical attack for this towards fac

Yeah, I'm not entirely sure why people make such a big deal out of it, muchless why it's a front page article here. When I read the first few lines of the article I figured it was referring to the movie with Shaq, then realized I

Well it's irrelevant in this instance since the exploit used by the gambler and the woman required the dealer to rotate and leak information about the cards. The cards themselves did not seem to be enough for the gambler Ivey to exploi

There probably should be some more sanity checks for GPS, since drivers even pre-smartphone era were horribly inattentive, and there is no more perfect example than the 11'8" bridge: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#

I disagree slightly - having been in management and having dealt with multiple harassment issues, the responsibility of the target of harassment is to report it, and it is the management's responsibility to investigate even handedly. A

To be fair, smaller providers are incredibly numerous in virtually every country. For obvious money reasons, they can't compete on price and available spec against the big three, but support tends to be the money maker for smaller comp

Theoretically, if the ads that were whitelisted were flagged enough or enough complaints were raised to ADP, this would be a financial signal to both ADP and the sites that the ads are unacceptable. I am not saying this is exactly how it go
