There's are many shady streaming sites that are designed to be accessed through a web browser where they serve up ads and malware. There are also quite a few file locker services where people put streaming media, same idea. Then ther

This summer I picked up a used 2014 Nissan Leaf, top trim level, with 14,000 miles for 14k. Best car I have owned. Felt like I stole it for the price.

Developer time is not a finite resource. People contribute to projects that they are passionate about. Fragmentation can encourage engagement. It's not like unpaid xfce and kde developers would start kernel hacking if everyone conve

America would have had no problem mass producing amphetamine, it's much easier to make amphetamine than to enrich Uranium-235. It's quite a leap to assume that the allied troops would have all been on drugs if they could have bee

It is not fair to assume that the allies used amphetamine just because an American pharmaceutical company was the first to market it commercially. It was not developed by "the allies". Amphetamine was first synthesized in 1887 i

A good read. Not exactly hacker news material, but I'm glad I read it. I had no idea that Hitler ran out of drugs two months before he killed himself. We all knew about drug abuse in the Third Reich, but the personal addiction of Hi

I just bought a Nissan Leaf. The decision had nothing to do with the environment, I did it for the convenience of not having to go to the gas station or get oil changes any more. After about a month, I am in love with the car. It's

As a daily user of Linux on the desktop for over 15 years, I can appreciate many of these complaints, but despite it's flaws Linux on the desktop is a pleasure to use and is better than any other options. This is a nice resource for k

It's really sad to see this company taking advantage of all those poor people who want to help their animals but have had problems with other treatments. Taking advantage of these gullible people does a lot of harm, because now they t

Finally tested it out. Yes, it does fall back to polling :)

Are websockets required or can it fall back to polling? I would like to to use it behind an authentication proxy that does not support websockets.

Criminal copyright infringement requires that the infringer acted for the purpose of commercial advantage or private financial gain. There is a higher threshold for criminal infringement. Singing happy birthday in public would be a civil

Alcohol destroys many families. People need to hear that. I think it's a shame that no one here can appreciate the reminder and just down votes my comment. Deleted.

I didn't know that about the iPhone, interesting point. Unlocked phones have always been available, but you should certainly be able to buy the phone you want. All the same, the free market has made unlocked phones available already

No one is forcing you to buy a locked phone. It's easy enough to buy unlocked phones and sign up with any of the carriers without a contract. You get a lower monthly rate too and often pay less in the long run. People have been voti

I set up syncthing, it's syncing now. I think this software will do exactly what I want. It's a standalone binary and runs as a standard user space app, keeping data synchronized between all the systems without the need to mount

Thanks for the link. "Ori over a WAN outperforms NFS over a LAN" that's a ridiculous claim, maybe if you ignore bandwidth. I might have to give this a shot though. I hope it's stable.

My company has three offices. We have about 200GB of shared storage. We often need to access and write files that are 10-20MB in size. Currently we have a centralized file server at the main office and a VPN. Using the file server at th

That would be only $49 in revenue per trip, seems low.

I don't see how this could work for the return flight. If I book Indianapolis to LA to get a cheaper ticket to Denver, I would still need a flight back from Denver, so even if I save 20% on the first flight, I'm only saving 10% o

Comcast is a trademark. Perhaps it could be exempted as a parody, but if this got popular I would expect a DMCA takedown.
