If you think your team is going to get laid off you could maybe try to volunteer for it and negotiate for a more generous severance package. Big cos like that typically set aside money for those things and how it gets distributed is discret

Does twitter really need those metrics? Just because people want metrics doesn’t mean they need to or should be collected. I have seen over the years posted here and again that highly targeted advertising and the ensuing surveillance infras

This will probably be about as effective as requiring ID cards has been to combat underage drinking.

Are you affiliated with the company? I chuckle when I see this hosting shop pop up on HN. They had advertisements on the dividers at the Safeway in Mountain View. Was wondering how they worked that.

I think Adblock is a feature that disproves that hypothesis. If google continues to neuter ad blocking as they have with the changes to plugin architecture then it will open itself up to competition. Things outside the web rendering engine

If half of what people say about the benefits of meditation are true then paying for a good curated set of guided meditations would probably be a pretty easy decision for some people.

If I google for "buy hacker news upvotes" I see someone selling them for $2. You don't need a network for it. If you spend time on your content marketing and you buy upvotes you'll get bumped to the front page and stay t

Thank you for this. I've been using SublimeText as a text editor but always felt weird since its targeted as a more powerful quasi-ide... This fits the bill nicely for what I want.

I wonder how much of that revenue/usage is sticky? E.g. how much use will decline once people are back to work.

The second amendment doesn't guarantee us the right to pack heat at work. There's lots of use cases where it would be considered reasonable to block the use of certain services.

I believe that any gains that result from a crime have to be given back to the relevant parties. If you trade on insider information you forfeit your profits for example. Maybe since this is a settlement he was able to keep it. Idk. Perhaps

It definitely interferes with the bodies healing process as well. Not a doctor so unsure of exactly how. Back when I was smoking I needed to have knee surgery and the doctor advised against nicotine in any form for that reason.

1password is a cloud service. So they'd either need a device like you said or your login/password + authentication key that is only used in the initial setup flow of a new device. So still pretty hard like you said. Never consider

Neat idea. My approach to solving this issue was configuring nginx to gzip responses with a high compression ratio. You can also precompress your asset files and tell nginx to find and serve the “.gz” compressed version of a static asset i

Hard to find for sure. There was a time though when we didn't pay CEO's & professional managers 500x as much as the lowest paid employee. When we did that we still managed to go to the moon, split the atom, develop computers,

The common setups I've worked with are Docker instances for the automated CI tests and then running tests on your dev machine w/o a container. If I had to do exploratory programming without a REPL I'd probably leverage my tes

I solve this problem by having everything testable. I'm not saying this is a replacement for running your code as a assembled app before committing... But like, you should know that the code is going to work as intended before you incu

It would help program runtime as well because the macro could be operating on data not loaded in memory. Not having to marshal and un-marshal data can save lots of execution time, especially in the face of non-contiguous reads/writes.

From tfa it sounds like they’re using the traditional definition of hacker and not shorthand for someone who uses computers to steal from people.

Probably openwrt would be the way to go. It’s basically Linux. I don’t know offhand how to do this in Linux but I suspect there’s a solution easily available.

It looks like they’re using the common meaning of routing and are implying tunneling instead actual route hijacking. So finding which servers they’re tunneling to is thorough but doesn’t seem all that impressive.

I feel like these numbers are skewed by the sex workers on Patreon offering subscription pornography. It'd be interesting to see if there's a difference between the numbers adult content creators see vs. everyone else.
