This is interesting. I was up drinking beer with a friend until 5am this morning talking about the very phenomenon of breaking news coming from social media and sites such as Reddit. He pointed to the Boston bombing and Dallas shooter situa

I know absolutely nothing of cooling and refrigeration, but it is an area I've been thinking of transitioning my career towards (burned out SysAdmin) and learning as a trade. What you just described is something I actually overheard a

Even better, which is what prompted my comment: if you're speaking in dissent, asserting there's more to a story, please for the sake of other readers who may so be inclined to learn, do more than drop a one liner as if this concl

Care to point towards any resources, authors, or links for those of us who might want to do more reading of our own? Seems like you have some knowledge on the subject, these would be much more helpful.

Are we really still building a brick wall between "nothing to hide" and "prefer to keep personal"? I'm asking this as far away from the legal and moral realms as possible; do people just not even deserve the basic

I didn't pick up many hints that they were using Linux purely because FOSS, that seems like a projection?; personally I went entirely Linux because I'm fond of the nearly infinitely granular controls I can make over the UI and UX

Oh my god, OSX Server is still a thing (genuine surprise)? I suppose it depends on use case, but I gave Server an honest attempt once, and eventually scuttled the entire thing; I'd love to try an Enterprise ready MDM from Apple, OSX Se

I almost came along with a quip very similar to your closing sentence; and I'm glad someone said it after that comment sitting there uncontested for two hours. This thing going on where one just looks at %person%, acknowledges that the

Yea but what 'regular' citizen would have, all else being fair and equal-anywhere near the levels of information that Clinton had without having conducted some activities that probably warrants less than 'kid-glove' trea

I don't think their point was to make precise and completely congruent analogues of these three topics.

At best its got some real subpar optics, and even being charitable and assuming no ill intent, it looks bumbling and incompetent. Okay. But are those things criminal? The parent of this chain mentioned the FBI recommending against prosecu

Interesting article, spoken from a movie geek. I posit though, the Betteridge factor is a bit lower for movies than it is for movie theaters .

I'm going to agree with you re: Whistleblowers & COINTELPRO, but was Clinton criminally negligent or just "Best practices were not adhered to" negligent? My impression from Comey's statements are the latter. Asking t

The tip would be labelled "User Config", while the remaining behemoth, respectively: "DNS". For the sysadmins out there ;)

I'm curious where people stand on the "To Insure Proper Service" backronym? I've always bucked back on that by saying "Well, taking some sense of pride in your work, even if that work is bringing people their food

I'll entertain the notion, because I have questions and reservations of my own (powered by certain built-in and historical baisies as an American...infer if you will): What would the criteria be to determine loan eligibility for a stud

Let me flip that around and offer that I've had "technical" recruiters fail their end of this transaction as well. One experience involved a recruiter who wanted a compete rewrite of a CV portion outlining a SQL project from

This assumes all edits and deletions are done in good faith or that there wouldn't be legitimate need for persistent chat logs for auditing (chat support for instance).

Austin kicked them out? That's news to me as a resident because the distinct impression I got was that we the people voted we wanted drivers fingerprinted, and if they could do that, they could stay but apparently it was more cost effe

I've often found myself staring agape, stunned at the lack of awareness as to the irony emanating from the same people who give such power to language with their abject refusal to entertain 'context', 'intent' or ev

Can't really say I blame you. Found any other interesting communities other than HN, obviously since we're both here?

/r/politicaldiscussion was created as a response to the malarkey that has become /r/politics and they place an emphasis on civil, reasoned debate. May be worth your time.

I'm constantly impressed by how involved GitLab engineers are not just on HN but other communities when brought up. Not sure if you guys have people constantly looking for mention of "GitLab" but even if you are, the respons

But you're still digging in heels and refusing to entertain the notion of 'context clues' with respect to how words are used beyond carte blanche association of words and their meanings to the marginalization of social groups

Once again "bitch" is an offensive word. FINE. Turnabout is fair play. I think you understood precisely the point I was attempting to make specifically by phrasing it the way I did . If your analysis of communication is to unpa

Words have meaning. Words have power. This much is not in debate, as far as I'm concerned (so far). Where I have to take pause is taking one usage (however derogatory) of a word and applying to every meaning and usage regardless of w

That's offensive to people with receding hairlines. Turnabout's a bitch, ain't it?
