I'd like a link if so, I have been interested in why that story isn't more important, given the attention other state-sponsored hacks have received...

That's just the point: How could you ever assemble the data to turn a theory into truth if you are not allowed to discuss it?

There are plenty of examples: Microsoft Office 365, Netflix, YouTube's paid service, Amazon Prime. Let me pay Facebook or Google for the services I value. They might even be cheaper to deliver if my data wasn't constantly harveste

Exactly, I didn't know about that case but it seems like the rules were presented up front. I think it would only take a few alterations of the deal to panic a smart currency.... And maybe that's why governments won't actuall

To me, the biggest risk of CBDCs and other "smart" money ideas, is potentially mucking with the fungibility of our money. In the book Sapiens, one of the topics is that money is the greatest force unifying humanity, above empires

The premise of this whole article is that kids learn what you put in front of them, which I disagree with. They learn what they pursue. I have been enjoying a technology arms race with my daughter. She likes full youtube for content that is

From this article, the fake article was shared "dozens" of times? This news story about the fake news story is doing more damage than the story. More manufactured outrage..m How's that working out for you?

The point of this article is to, instead of feeling and spreading outrage for the shitty things you cannot change, go work to change and enjoy the things you can.

How would one validate the number of CCP members employed at one of these companies, or the quota?

For some people their house and land aren't a crop to raise and sell, maybe they like their hidden gem for what it already is. See the lamentations on Austin's growing pains in this thread.

Off topic, but I think you mean Myanmar (formerly Burma), not Malaysia here.

Could you remove the word "political" and make the same headline assertion?

This discussion has been interesting. This article is newer than the top frontpage post with more points and more comments. Why is its ranking sinking so fast?

Maybe GP is referring to 1.1.1.2 and 1.1.1.3, the DNS resolvers that filter malware and malware+adult content respectively? Both are optional alternatives to the unfiltered 1.1.1.1 DNS service if so...

Where can Stripe earn reasonable amounts of short-term interest without risk to the principal?

True, but if you can identify both the winner and the loser, say AMD and/or TSMC vs INTC, you could sell puts/spreads on the loser and sell calls/spreads on the winner in similar at-risk dollar amounts. If the market itself

Depending on how you measure it could be allowed... the diameter of the sphere could grow faster than the speed of light without any component exceeding c because you can grow at near light speeds in two directions.

I've got your point, and I think that knowing what we know now perhaps the planes could have been saved. I'm still not for blaming the pilots though: Would you have wanted to be the captain of a max while MCAS operated against a f

Microphone-less headphones are a great way to test this phenomenon. If you have them handy, just plug them into the mic port and talk. IIRC only one earpiece in a stereo set connects with a mono microphone jack.

Thank goodness it's so safe! I am glad we are only talking about theoretical crazy combinations of events that can lead to a crash... You brought up faulty replacement parts yourself as a contributing cause, but when challenged you swi

s/This accident/These accidents/ As you'll find in this article below, Boeing specifically removed the yoke-back function, which is the natural pilot input to nose up the plane. They also specifically for the MAX removed

The simulators themselves are generally quite thorough, wherever feasible they run the same software as the plane on simulated instrument input (which can also be broken for simulation purposes). Newer planes are more and more often fly-by-

Exactly right. Also you need to think about the sheer amount of dollars that China and Japan have. There are only so many investments that can give you a return on 1 trillion dollars without significantly adding to the risk of losing the pr

As I understand it, other countries' "belief in our debt" has little to do with their treasury holding levels. All countries that net export products to the US tend to end up owning T-bills proportionate to their export surpl

I think the challenge with finding firsthand reports on HN is that the owners of small brick-and-mortar businesses that Yelp is alleged to exploit are not well represented in this community. Having said that, I have firsthand experience in

This seems testable enough... The speed of light isn't in question here, so the frequency is the yardstick. Can't we just record the frequencies given off by the elements every hundred years or so and see that they are the same?

Interesting questions, why is he writing this, and why here? A few guesses: 1) Bezos had made claims in his original post that AMI and the Saudis were in league on the Bezos attack. That got walked back a little in this post when he admitte
