You can't remove money from politics, the only reason politics exists is because government gets to decide who gets what money. Not even the staunchest libertarian thinks the government would work with no revenue, or that politicians s

As soon as you realize 'destroy' means 'give to an officer's kids' you'll understand why they can't delete the image. As always talk to a lawyer, HN is the wrong place to ask legal advice.

Then why have 2 * 4 when you can write 2.multiply_by 4... What I love about ruby is its focus on making programming delightful rather than adhering to weird ass rules like 'Ruby is object oriented, meaning you are calling methods on ob

To be fair I agree with you on most of those points, however, Vancouver seems to think it's world class when really its quite provincial.

Its the exact same thing here in Vancouver, there are even protests because someone is going to tear down a small house that fits one family and build a bigger house on the same property that fits multiple families. We have a low interest r

Netflix has hugely 'spikey' load across the globe, AWS is perfect for that use case. They need to spike for prime time and then don't really need much infrastructure.

^ THIS. I wish I had more up votes. The amount of time I've seen wasted trying to scale to Google is insane. People should worry about what Google does when they work for at least a billion dollar company. For most projects import as m

Different stores offer different terms and have different costs... I shop at lots of stores I know charge more because they have better service. I love the shopping experience when I don't have to wait in line because they have enough

It's not more expensive than SF, don't read reports look at prices. If you work in tech SF is a lot more expensive than Van.

Their objectives may differ but their recruitment methods are the same, disaffected people who believe they have nothing, and won't ever amount to anything because the world is against their group. If you want to see how racist america

Yup on every call a sale is made, either you sell them on a reason they can pay you that much or they sell you on a reason they can't. Taking on a fuck you pay me attitude is the best thing that ever happened to my life.

You can compile local exploits instead of having to download them. If the machine is fully stripped enough it can be a good thing. Most of the time it's just an annoyance. Eg. Windows boxes rarely have a compiler and get hacked all the

I think Guy Debord did a much better job finding the fundamental issues that give rise to these phenomena, namely, The Society of the Spectacle, it focuses on much the same dichotomies in a much more general and in depth way. To be fair to

Some people when faced with an encryption problem think 'I know, I'll use a non-repeating random text to XOR against the plain text', now they have two encryption problems.
352.
by fleitz 11y ago
Incorrect, if the key is shared the encryption is breakable. If you're just doing one round of XOR it's pretty easy to break the key given a known plaintext, in the same way that AES is very breakable in ECB mode. For unbreakable

I think most people are far more concerned about how fast they can download things and how much their data plan costs than 'the principles of net neutrality'. What people like about net neutrality is that they aren't paying m

Part of that IS supply chain... You can't make a great phone with shitty components. Many things that Apple does in the supply chain are completely out of reach for it's competitors either because of resources or culture.

I've contracted and had access to all those things, though I don't see the point of unionizing as the sole employee in my own business... Nor would I see any point in rights under the 'Family and Medical Leave Act' when
