Sure it is, it just moves the trust to trusting the verified person and away from simply trusting the system.

When Andy Warhol printed soup cans and put the prints in galleries, were the Campbell's logo designers the artists, or was Warhol?

Haven't read the article yet, but I assume they're probably talking about the lobbying to remove free filing or TurboTax's attempts to hide the free option as much as possible with a thousand ways to upsell you by using dark

Yes, it is time to ban personal transport vehicles from Manhattan. Leave buses and delivery vehicles since everything is stocked by them, and work vehicles like police perhaps. The problem is this will never get implemented on any non geolo

I really used to think like this. I thought there was a "proper" way to use words and evolution of language by the "uneducated masses" was a bad thing and they were "ignorant" for not sticking with dictionary d

I run a distributed system on AWS infrastructure. It's still distributed by all common usage of the word.

Same boat here, I got an iPad Air (first gen) refurbished many years ago. Still works great, and I used it this morning. Showing no signs of not working properly, unlike old iPhones seem to do when they're dated. I like the new ones, b

I'm getting runtime errors when searching, internal errors I as a user shouldn't be able to see outside of some sort of debug mode. FYI

Is this true? I read Born to Run, but the book seemed embellished. Are the accounts of the Tarahumara in that book apocryphal or did all this stuff really happen in Leadville?

I didn't know about 1Pass, I've been a paying member for a while. I'll try that out! But to put a finer point on your actual statement, I usually screenshot the MFA setup in case my phone gets lost, so I can easily re-set it

ah, this is one of those moving the goalposts things people talk about. You say one thing, someone comments on it, and suddenly you meant something much more restrictive. I don't see this one in the wild on HN that often.

No, not literally. There are a surprising number of cars on the road that are set up for events like autocross and such that have roll cages, etc. I've often seen these kinds of setups on small cars like Mazda Miatas. But, the point is

Hey thanks this is really helpful, appreciate you taking the time to explain.

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks!

I don't think they need to cite something that's literally in the text of the posted article. This is a comment section to comment on that very article!

Not a loophole,it was specifically written into the ACA to ensure insurance companies spend money on benefits rather than just pocketing everything. Of course, it also has the effect of making the market hard to enter. See, e.g., Oscar

Isn't this like saying we shouldn't shut down coal plants because the coal plant workers would be out of a job?

Isn't this pretty similar to basic auth? Passing credentials in plaintext but over TLS.

This could make sense, but I don't see why being human readable wouldn't necessarily be a benefit. I do a lot of log shaping with sed, grep, awk, etc. and human readability has been a plus for me on things, but I may not be the no

Does the PRI formula seem nonsensical to anyone? Facility number * 8 + severity level = PRI. At first looking at the example, I was thinking it would be an easy way to look at the last digit to determine severity (0-7), but since the result

This is great, I'm very new to Go and new to RPCs. I went through the code and had a question someone might be able to answer as I'm still learning Go. The Server package contains the Register function. Main package implements the

Agree with the Django Girls tutorial in OP. I ran into them at Pycon and expressed my appreciation for helping me learn Django. Was really exciting stuff. Does anyone happen to have a good resource for learning GoLang? It's nearly impo

Really bad take. Blockchain offers no benefits to what provably worked in the past, whereas there are many advantages to planes, etc. over horses.

It's so negligible for creators as to be meaningless. If it's meaningless except (maybe) to those who are so ultrapopular as to derive value from it, what good is it to normal people?

SNI was added on top of TLS to allow one server to serve multiple certificates. SNI is different than the hostname header, and in fact no headers are available until the traffic is decrypted post-handshake, which Hakuna can't see if it

Maybe. This is a bit of a cottage industry that shouldn't need to exist. It's so hard to get data and visibility into these things in AWS right now. Billing is hard, it's impossible to easily tell what is costing me what in e
