You have the right to say what you want but you must accept the consequences. So, for the sale of argument: if Trump is democratically elected and then begins reprisals of his political enemies, you must accept those consequences?

This is exactly the opposite of my experience. FB has been extremely successful in shutting down any and all local firearms sales groups. It was the impetus behind my own decision to boycott Facebook permanently.

This industry excommunicated Brendan Eich for his private, personal political funding activity. We, as a community and industry, long ago crossed the Rubicon where the wrong opinion can exile you as a pariah and a monster.

HN is, by my estimation, 95% horrified at the prospect of a Trump presidency, so yes.

Are you seriously suggesting that 46% unrealized gains for a primarily illiquid equity portfolio heading into rate hikes is a good thing? Unrealized gains are meaningless without liquidity.

This link is just e-commerce, but chatter is the phenomenon is across the board: https://www.cbinsights.com/blog/e-commerce-deals-drop-q2-201... It's effectively Q4 of 1999 and I couldn't be happier.

Seconded. I operate out of rural Arizona and travel to California (where my business is located) as needed. Thirty second commute, time with my family, and the opportunity to interact with people whose lifestyle concerns actually seem groun

Unpopular opinion with healthy dose of anecdata incoming. I was bullied mercilessly from 3rd grade through 7th grade. Wedgies, keepaway, taunts, set-ups, beatings anywhere from hit and runs to ground and pounds. At some point in the 7th gra

POWER8, OpenSparc, and OpenRISC are all still around. Linux kernel compiles for them all. You're only locked in if your personal requirements mandate the smallest lithography process and the highest clock speed.

One word: jurisdiction. The GU might read my emails, but they don't have the authority to execute 4am raids on my property and kill me with impunity in the name of "officer safety" as an eventual consequence of something XKey

Would you be that sanguine about your kids tossing back a shot of vodka every day? If you take Lustig's analysis of fructose's effect on the liver at face value, you should treat them the same.

Microsoft Surface Book will boot most distros just fine, especially with the tigerite kernel. Prettier and faster than Thinkpads and thankfully devoid of the TrackPoint abomination.

How do you solve your #2? We push our docker images to quay.io but pull+deploy is still manual. How does the target platform detect a new container on the registry in order to kick off a pull+deploy?

whatever that means I believe the notion of artificially low/high rates actually does have a precise meaning. If banks freely set rates as players in a competitive market based on prevailing inflation rates, demand for money, etc, th

One thing you may be overlooking is the importance of employees respecting management. We nerds tend toward inherent distrust of nontechnical management, and it is likely that promoting technical people into management helps overall team co

I've seen a compelling argument (with backing citation) made elsewhere that violence in the first world is actually increasing, but has been masked by advances in trauma medicine. Will edit this post with reference if I can find it.

Elephant in the room. Nobody seems to want to discuss the very real chilling effect of spousal mate-guarding behavior on workplace camaraderie. Thank you sir.

Or, better yet, irssi in persistent tmux. Slack really can't compare to terminal irc clients in terms of usability and flexibility.

This is not the reason antibiotics are given to livestock. A wide class of antibiotics, when delivered in subtherapeutic doses, increase feed conversion efficiency and result in larger animals for the same feed inputs. So yes, it's abo

For non-CA certs, you either manually verify hashes or install the self-signed root cert. So no, the attacker would have to at minimum find a SHA1 hash collision, otherwise the client will know they're being MitM'ed.

So? By what moral reasoning is money laundering actually wrong?

Seconded. I am running the technology department of my (California) company from rural Eastern Arizona. Travel back to CA every couple months and it works out well.

Your aversion to threatening employees reminds me a bit of the old "just following orders" canard. Developers are not sweatshop workers beholden to the company store. They have a plethora of employment options. If they willingly c

Indeed. And even if money is your motivator, here is an extra 10-20 hours a week to work on one's side project. Do not see the downside, here.

We've experimented with docker in a few places, and the deployment workflow is just painful: 1. sudo docker build -t quay.io/foo/bar 2. sudo docker push quay.io/foo/bar 3. <login to production> 4. su

Some of us believe that the open platform is worth the expense. ME, and the absolute refusal of Intel to allow its own customers to disable it, is very scary to the tinfoil hat crowd. Unfortunately, Raptor Engineering is still early in deve
