Same. I came back from a long work trip (3 mo in a foreign country) and said "I'm moving. I'm either moving and I'm going to keep working with you it I'm moving and I'm not. I'd like to keep working eih yo

TimeWarner and Comcast have both done it toe. TWC did of to let me know of a TOS violation and Comcast uses it as part of their setup. If you don't allow them to hijack DNS and show you things that you have to click through, you may f

Privacy works by buying large blocks of gift card numbers and issuing them on demand. A vendor can (and some do) reject gift cards. For those that don't, you can use any billing name/address you'd like and the cards will ve

Came to reply with this. I've been using it for years and even managed to get my wife on board. Don't tell them but I'd be willing to pay a small amount for this service. Any company I deal with that has a recurring paymen

I currently work for a company that is focused in increasing online privacy. Everything I write now supports this effort. I've never felt better about a job. Second to that would be the games I wrote on my TI back in high school (90s)

It'd be nice to be able to change the average salary. This is HN, which means many of us are in tech jobs and the tech sector. Using 60k/year doesn't really do it justice. I like it though. If nothing else, it's sad f

I do not miss those days. "You're change averse" was the most common accusation made against anyone who disagreed with changes. Change for the sake of change is rarely a good starting point but that never mattered. The web

The new font weights have such a stark contrast, it's hard to look at. It's enough that I'm finally starting to piece together the parts to leave gsuite for my personal domains.

Yes. There are (or used to be) to-go containers. Lots of people stayed late enough to just grab food, when I was there. You already stayed that late, it's fine. You can go home without judgement.

I use it for everything. I have unique/monthly limit cards: * My kid's swim class has a unique card. * Wife's phone (setup before Google started rejecting their cards) * Cable bill * Netflix * Personal AWS bill

Weird. That's the exact opposite of my experience. I've had a number of odd rejections that led me to reach out to a couple vendors (hey Amazon, I'm looking at you!) because there were small transactions attempted against c

"I prefer to be part of communities that are more accessible to more walks of life than the person who was bothered to install irssi on his spare EC2 instance." Then why argue for IRC to be updated with features? Why not go somew

by igetspam 8y ago
Except the opposite is true. I know plenty of people who intentionally use IRC because it _doesn't_ do those things. It hasn't been the victim of feature creep. Hell, even networks with services (chanserv, nickserv, etc) are of

So... you want to rebuild Slack? Why not just use Slack. I don't imagine the vast majority of people still using IRC want or need any of the things you listed as "common needs of today." I've been using IRC almost dai

As I've gotten older and more respected in my field, I've done the same. I've had C level staff demand I do things that I felt were unethical and I've outright refused. I had someone tell me the CEO supported an action a

I worked at Zynga. They bumped my salary almost quarterly and not small amounts. By the time I left, I was making 50% more than when I started and I'd been there less than three years. I burned out so badly I had to leave in the middle

I don't know but I'd support companies working to improve privacy. It's a hard thing to monetize but there's a need and a market.

ps- Paying Amazon for Prime doesn't stop anyone from paying for Netflix because the Prime catalog is not an equivalent service. I currently pay for both. Now I'm only going to pay for one.

I actually pay more, so I can stream on more devices at once in 4k. It has entertainment value. I have no problem $15 a month for something that helps me relax after work or calms my child when she's upset that her mother and I are d

I've been looking for a good reason to ditch Amazon and a 20% hike in their service price is as good a reason as any. With a few exceptions (like diapers), I rarely need something immediately. The courier companies they've been

Glassholes v3? I can't help but feel there's something deeply wrong with a world that voluntarily signs up for and actively participates in creating a surveillance state. After all the stories, we still haven't learned anyt

Are you arguing that privilege escalation is the equivalent to passwordless root login? I mean, I guess you squint just right you could say that a logged out user having zero privileges being able to login as a user with all privileges is

I actually disagree with a fundamental part of your argument. I do believe those living outside city centers are significantly more "freedom loving" than their city dwelling counterparts. I don't live out here because I can&#

Except there's no gain for them, other than to help promote privacy. Would I be in he wrong for clicking every ad myself, if I had no an to buy, just to fuzz the data collected about me? It would be the same "fraud." How is
