I think you’re on it already. While HN certainly gets its share of mindless “Orange Man Bad” comments, overall this place feels more balanced than most.

The way it works in my courses is, there’s a hard deadline (usually 10pm) for getting full credit. Then for the next two hours (typically until midnight) you can still submit for 95% of the points. I often also allow even later submissions

The US paid to develop and maintain those weapons to protect you from Russia for 50 years. Maybe you Europeans could pick up the tab for the clean-up?

> pay raise is the way up Not if the person spends it all, like they did the earlier lower salary. Better beer, bigger TV, new cars, etc and you can easily blow through quite a decent raise.

But now people will also have more reason to disbelieve things that are true. Imagine if Trump could claim that the "Grab em by the $#@%" tape was a fake, or if Biden could do the same about the tape of him bragging about gettin

$100/month is no joke. That's enough to buy a new iPhone X or a Macbook Air every year. Edit: Obligatory MMM https://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2011/08/01/a-millionaire-is-...

That's what Google execs said to justify building a censored Chinese search engine.

This is very exciting! It's been a long time coming. Should we take this IETF blog post as an indication that the standardization work is almost done?

I think calling it heresy is a bit of a stretch. It's pretty close to what the Apostle Paul wrote to the church in Rome: > but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, cha

Whoa. Are you implying that Facebook employees in Austin are helping, say, the Chinese government censor pro-democracy groups? I'm not sure the employee's perks (or lack thereof) are the biggest story there.

I ran a little test last weekend. I got a 1 CPU / 2GB RAM virtual machine from a cloud provider and deployed Matrix/Synapse on it with spantaleev's Ansible script. I created 100 accounts for chatterbots. (This is not federa

The products you mention are all good examples of niche products for techies. If that's what you want, by all means keep XMPP and be happy with it.

You really should try out the guy's Ansible playbook linked elsewhere in this thread. It automates setting up the database, the reverse proxy, the Let's Encrypt certificates, pretty much everything. You run a couple of git comma

If everyone shared your (lack of) optimism, then we'd still be stuck with: * Wonky unwieldy hypertext systems instead of the WWW * The Nomad instead of the iPod * The Blackberry instead of the iPhone * GNU Hurd instead of Linux * Geoci

A colleague and I published a related idea [1] last year: Weaken the encryption just enough so that a government can (barely) afford to do the brute force if they really do care about it that much. (Hint: They almost certainly don't

Eternal September may have started in 1993, but it's arguable that we've been at a whole other level of badness since 2016 -- "Eternal November".

Nice choices! IMO the best Christmas songs have a mix of joy and something.. else. Something a little eerie. Not quite foreboding , exactly, but definitely a bit tense. From a certain perspective, maybe this is theologically correct to

One of my favorite examples of this "genre" is Claude Shannon's "Communication Theory of Secrecy Systems," from 1949. http://netlab.cs.ucla.edu/wiki/files/shannon1949.pdf Speaking as someo
