That's an easy way to track outbound links, they just track everyone clicking on their short links, although that could be said for all those services.

It's a matter of perspective. No-one knew they were in a 'world' war at the time. 50 years from now historians will probably look back at this as 'world war 3' and we're just living through it oblivious.

I mean is it? We're reading about it on HN.

That's pretty much how consciousness works, on a very generalised level. We have a continuous prompt, that's why sensory deprivation is weird, when we have no input our brain starts generating its own. The problem with these model

Almost literally everything is called 'ritual' or done for 'religious reasons'. If you have a gnome garden ornament on your shelf, no-one would seriously think you worship it, just that it looks nice. But this entire pro

Why would you be puzzled? Any information given to the public (you) will also seen by the enemy (whoever it is) It's like when America used to go on television during the Iraq/Afghanistan wars and announce where they were going to

It's open knowledge NOW, not when OP discovered it. You clearly wouldn't get into the class.

For me I followed programming posts etc but they went from high quality to things like 'how to turn your computer on' and just the most basic shit imaginable, the flood of garbage drowned out any good posts.

Reminds me of an episode of Stargate where they fire 'stealth' (invisible to radar) nukes at the Goa'uld ships, and they're just stood looking out the window at them! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvBsX

Ask them what their budget is. I was in similar situation to you, and because the work is easy for us it's easy to undervalue ourselves, but ask them what budget they're working with and go from there!

This happens all the time though. Your business and processes are fundamentally broken. And all you do is pop up on HN anytime someone complains, that's enough of a red flag to avoid your business completely and actively keep all my cl

Musk is just shaking off the freeloaders. It will help with bots too. There's so much vitriol surrounding this, but if you look at Twitter it's doing just fine. Why shouldn't people pay for API access? You can't sustain

Why? You're freeloading. Pay for the service you use. It's as simple as that.

Get it actually working first. So many people here (especially on the 'show HNs') just release literal crud (no pun intended) If you want to make a product, then build it, polish it, TEST IT, get it working, then sell it.

> individual workers have no bargaining power against corporations and governments That's true, but only if you play their game. Sometimes the only winning move is not to play. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DGNZnf

That just sounds like slavery with extra steps. Why would anyone stand for it? Just stay home 'sick', or roll in late, take an actual hour for your lunch (scandalous!), take your legally required breaks, do the bare minimum, what

When you're on your deathbed are you going to look back and think "gee golly, I'm really glad I worked those 7 extra days and got laid off anyway" or "that vacation I spent with <name> was the best time of my

First I'd ask why they abandoned it, you don't want to waste your time on garbage. Second, go to the version control and get the earliest version and code along. Understand each commit, why and what they're doing what choices

Can you go over his head? I would be honest. What's the worst can happen, they fire you? You're leaving anyway.

Type 2 diabetes is curable with an 8 week change in diet. Not everything needs to be another app or machine or about generating revenue by making you a lifelong patient. Sometimes just looking after yourself properly is all you need. https

Since playing No Mans Sky[0] I've thought about this a lot. Basically in the game the universe is a simulation that only has 16 minutes (real time) left to run, but that still translates to billions of years in universe, and the number

That's an absolutely terrible idea. Scaring the crap out of thousands of users when your certificates are set to auto-renew etc is just dumb.

I found this in a non-development role, this lady would constantly phone me for 'help' and I found that if I just ignored her (in a nice way) she'd fix it herself in a few minutes.
