Look, if you see such an article from a authority the authority is well aware of what they do to their name. They've built this authority with hard labor over years. So the chance is far over >67% that they are trying to cash out.

Think of SSH as the secure networking swiss pocket knife but that it is free for everybody to use, learn and script with. Now think how someone could make money out of it. They can't. So they start creating an alternative, that is so c

This is a sales page, not a objective discussion. (a) There's not much you can do with VPN that you can't do with SSH (actually I can't think of anything). And SSH is much more configurable. (b) To avoid tracking of your brow

also as said in another branch of this discussion: It's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is that real news are just as bad as fake news. This is not an improvement of your estimation of fake news, but a decrease in the va

It was just an assumption, based on someone writing an article called "Don't hate COBOL until you've tried it". As said, I personally wouldn't even consider it, so there is zero chance to hate it as well.

It's on the harder side, I also have to say so.

Nice article, but what do the title and text have to do with each other? Spending ~30+ years learning to write and sell books doesn't look like a Get-Rich-Quick scheme to me. His father also bought land so that his future generations c

No the other way around. You interpret my statement as "how to define what should be considered news" while I'm saying "what you consider news is not better than fake news but just as fake".

"fake news is news that is [...] partially [...] fabricated" that is ALL news not fake news. All news are written to influence you in one direction or another. There's always stuff that is left unspoken or added and things th

I think COBOL is not a question of hate vs not hate. To hate something you need to consider it, you need to have requirements. If nobody shares an article like this one nobody is actually THINKING about COBOL. If someone starts a new projec

Who upvotes this kind of article, btw? You know that fake news means "stories that the current encumbment doesn't like" in contrast to "stories that the current encumbment likes" which is then called news. For you a

The question basically says "this article is far from interesting" and you answer with "because this article is so interesting"?

TL;DR it's not like it was in the past. TL;DR it's not what they promise. But where is the news in this? I think the interesting facts are that (a) they still manage to influence countries with their plan (and might for instance g

I think there's also a passionate little group of followers in a few reddits. Don't remember where, though. Maybe just try /r/MUD etc and you can find it.

Happy to see that this kind of startup still exists. It feels so 2008.

This is very important to know. It often doesn't work and then there's no feedback why.

I see and agree that an equal sized hardware and software component compared, the hardware will be harder to develop and more expensive. I don't think from a project perspective this holds true though, since the amounts are often somet

by erikb 9y ago
Well who means what is really hard to discuss at this point. The article's author wants to point out that the hardware part must be so cheap that you can't make any profit in that area any more. But you still need to get it right,

Okay, thinking about your arguments I have to agree. This is not about nutritional advise but about nutritional science. In the pure science department having a good enough result to statistically trust it is rare and may happen even two or

It is really, really surprising that this is discovered so lately. We should be knowing this for 30 or so years. I have a strong guess that this article is overpresenting how new this is. Otherwise something really weird is going on.

No you cannot. A brick is also a physical product. But it doesn't communicate. There needs to be software and technology involved, and more than one object needs to talk via a network.

Sorry, but this story didn't convince me. It was too straight forward and too much focused on professional sounding keywords and representing stuff as serious security risk that actually isn't. What I can agree with is that in mos
