Yup. And when this happened to me with a bogus possession case, I fought the law and the law won. Sentenced with maximum jail-time and fines :)

I don't own any credit cards and I do not use credit. Am I still at risk for having credit taken out in my name if I don't enroll in this "credit freeze" protection racket people keep mentioning?

After using Jetbrains products for work, I wouldn't think twice about paying for a personal license, if it means they keep making such an incredible product line. I wonder if most feel the same.

To provide a bit of contrast, I have near-zero interest in the human condition over the next few generations (with the exception of the development of a few technologies) and am only really interested in where humanity could be in another 1

The only insight I felt was interesting or useful was the chart of his interaction frequency / sentiment with other accounts. That was neat to see. Dude really hates The New York Times!

Things like receipt paper (coated in particulate BPA) are very likely contributers as well. One has to wonder how much.

I think that's kind of just applying a bandaid to a wound that already has an infection. If you don't treat the underlying cause, (greenhouse gases) it's still going to get worse. Still, a massive planetary array of space rad

Thank you. Interestingly, my post, which was completely neutral in tone, has negative votes. Certainly makes you wonder if our competition, Expedia and Priceline, maintain a presence on HN. On a marginally related note, what made you decide

I don't mean to nitpick, but if you don't think the "alt-right" should be labeled as such then maybe you shouldn't use it in your vocabulary, as it only strengthens the presence of the word in our society regardless

I came back in time to prevent us from ever going back in time. Sounds complicated, and trust me it is. All will become clear soon. I wish I had some smidgen of life advice, but we're even more fucked up in the future than we are now,

I see your point, though it does seem like these are both extensions of the same underlying instinctual desires present in males, mainly the need for dominance (expressed in only a small percentage of the population for evolutionary reasons

As long as there are old, ugly men who want to have sex with young, beautiful women no matter the cost to either party, economic exploitation will remain at the heart of civilization, stunting our growth to the point of deformity.

Ha. I once heard ADHD described by a behavioral scientist as "making a list of chores and putting it up on the fridge so you'll see it every day, and every day you see it but forget the moment you're out of the kitchen"

As someone who grew up a poor white person in the rural United States, what the heck are you talking about?

I always do this with automated voice menus, 50/50 it works or the program immediately hangs up on me.

Oh cool, I'd heard of PhotoDNA but I didn't know the details behind it. Thanks! "It works by converting the image to black and white, re-sizing it, breaking it into a grid, and looking at intensity gradients or edges." P

When I was in jail for only a month, I forgot a password I had recently changed, and when I got back home I ended up having to reformat my hard drive and lost a lot of old data. Poems, prose, music, images from my childhood... (well, what w

I wonder if the same kind of error-tolerant fingerprinting used in technology like Shazam (recognizing songs from ambient recordings) could be generalized to combat such a doping program. You might have to do more than change a few pixels h

The startup I work for. Can't talk too much about it right now.

That's what we're hoping to solve. The state of affairs with online booking is disgusting and the customer is too far removed from the process, while hotels are being strong-armed into price fixing.

I think it's foolish to assume anything right now, one way or the other. If you desire a particular outcome, the best thing you could do right now would be to figure out how you can help make it so.

This isn't directly about cryptocurrencies. I think it's more about, at least for me, the fact that a technology as promising, useful, and technically impressive as Bitcoin / the blockchain is being trivialized to such a high

Would you mind expanding a bit on this real-time auction thing, like how common it is and what the process looks like, or could you point me in the direction of the sources you used to make that claim? Thanks!

Right, and this form of forced "SEO" compliance by Google's hand is utterly fucked up. There is little to no financial incentive for companies to swim against the current, and large financial incentive to come aboard and join

False dichotomy. OP could have tested for FF if he wanted to, irrespective of the framework he has chosen. Personally, I develop Firefox-first and then work on compatibility for lesser browsers like Chrome and Safari. Of course things have

If you don't complain and make noise then you won't be nearly as effective in arousing the conscience of the community. You can accept punishment (as in not martyr yourself or attempt to harm an authoritative figure) while still c

Yes, and every man, woman, and child in an abusive relationship should just leave and find something better, or shut up and stop complaining. It's their choice, after all. Yes, I had no right protesting my own abusive childhood because

That's a very cold and unforgiving worldview. You have never broken a law in your own country that you felt was ridiculous or unjust?

Misleading analogy. Physical goods such as a bank's money are both not reproducible and not normally available for the general public to just take
