Actually, there is a lot of weak evidence out there that de-platforming actually worked as intended. It did push some users to more radical spaces, but it also made it very difficult for weakly-interested users to be pushed into the space

Very tongue in cheek.... but I have a copy of the rules that I will pull out every time I move house and scan through before putting back into the big box of old games I almost never look at. I cannot believe how much time I spent on Squa

I play Harpoon as a palate cleanser between runs of The Campaign for North Africa... I do agree with the article though, the tabletop boardgame was somehow more satisfying than the computer version of same.

I think you are confusing 1995 with 2005. Perl was in decline by 2000 and by 2005 it was terminal; you could probably count the number of perl shops of any consequence in that year on the fingers of one hand.

Seriously?!? Julia has no hope of overtaking Python in numerical computing by 2032, expecting movement by 2022 is just delusional. Here is a better prediction: by 2022 people using Python for numerical computing who started doing so in th

> Is it correct to state that in 5 to 10 years we’ll see Julia as the default for new Data Science projects? No, it is not correct to make this claim. Nothing is going to de-throne Python in the next five years and it is EXTREMELY unlik

The idea that people were being forced to learn perl just for bioinfomatics as recently as 6 years ago fascinates me. Python has gotten exceptionally lucky. I am sure the two or three remaining perl users on the planet are also on HN and r

If you expect anything past seed funding then you will be a Delaware C. Maybe you wait until after the seed, but it is going to happen eventually; it is trivial to do and has no real downside, so why delay?

Apple is effectively a co-founder of ARM. I am absolutely certain they have a 'do whatever the hell you want with it, and have most-favoured on licensing' agreement in a drawer somewhere in Cupertino.

1.1.1.1 is not censored. There are other variant resolvers run by Cloudflare that trade on the 1.1.1.1 'brand' but which are filtered for kids. These resolvers run on 1.1.1.2 and 1.1.1.3 for different levels of filtering.

You don't compare builds because you probably don't actually have sources. What you do is use a special iPhone (a Security Research Device) that Apple grants some researchers or you use an emulator like the one from Corellium (to

Amazon.com is nothing but a sales site so I cannot imagine why anyone would think it is anything other than a path to try to route around in-app purchases, same with Bandcamp. The one with the developer blog and a patreon link is a lot wea

Do you really think Gab or Parler is going to have any ad revenue? When marketing teams are (rightly) concerned about appearing on Hannity or Rachel Maddows you think they are going to dedicate any spend to these sites? Maybe gold scams a

Yes, you are obviously NAL. The rules are clear and are applied evenly; it is the even application of the rule that is causing the problem here. FOSS-advocates think they are special snowflakes who deserve an exception to the rule about a

I believe that this is due to the recent collapse of this year's polar vortex. The same thing happened last year and pushed large amounts of cold polar air into Europe. We are expecting a few more waves of this over the next few week

To be honest I am not sure. From what I have read you were right on the first guess. When China applies tariffs it is a single political body making the decisions, while the EU needs to deal with a lot of different national interest groups

Like how they prevent people from getting the ISIS websites, Hamas websites, neo-Nazi web sites? Looks like they have more than a decade to do so and still nothing. Maybe your hyperbolic slippery slope argument is wrong?
