Bring any topic however widely known and thoroughly proven to a large enough general audience and you will always find people with no actual knowledge that will question it. Try to find a post on HN with a lot of upvotes and comments where

Fun to introduce general population to some interesting physics but please, don't call it "settling physics debate". There is NO debate. Not physics debate, not even practical debate because that knowledge is in practical e

Monitoring your employees' work at their computer is losers game. This only works for menial jobs where you can actually see the work happening, the widgets being cranked. But even in a job as simple as callcenter operator you can have

Long time ago people could not use computers. You would write down the program you want to get executed or punch it on punch cards. The only people who could actually operate the computer were... the operators. These people (mainly women) w

The problem is the arrangement itself. They hire a contractor/consultant to get some value out of you. What they should be doing is monitoring if they are getting the value. Hours spent is not value. If I was in your situation I would

SSDs and drive-managed SMR HDDs do not immediately delete the data. If the system is interrupted after data is deleted there is a good chance you can still get it back. On a normal HDD you still have to wipe the data (ie. physically overwri

On my infrastructure the number of people with direct access to modify the database is zero. What you do is you write any operations that are to be run on production as code (for example service that can be triggered). You then get the cod

The problem is, if they are serious and suspect you might be prepared and technical savvy, they will never allow you to operate the device.

Yeah, I have that on my servers in case somebody tries to hack them. There is a secret to logging to my machines and if you miss it the machine self destructs in a reversible way. Can't give more information but it is pretty easy to bo

The combo solution is not good enough, especially if you are in public. If you can be observed to use the combo (which you would have to be using regularly) somebody else could be pressing the combo or they could insert USB device that can

Yes, removal is not a consequence. What should be consequences? What are consequences when you say something stupid to your family or friends? What should be consequences when you knowingly lie to slander somebody? > And for the sake of

I believe speech should be free but people should be responsible for their speech. People behave completely differently when there are consequences to what they say. Speech for "everybody but idiots" is not free speech.

It is home network. There is no need to obsess. I can pull out an old router and have it perfectly functional in 0,5h to support my and my family's remote work/school needs.

This is fantastic if you don't mind your requirements being out of date by the time you finish writing them down. That is assuming your business stays alive long enough. Jokes aside, I would suggest not to corrupt your mind by looking

It is a problem only if you are mixing up application layers. If you keep your queueing system and business process as separate layers with queueing system serving only as a means of transporting business events then you can make it all to

Let me give you another analogy. Let's say Macbook keyboards fail much often than mechanical keyboards. Why is that? One could say, the reason they are failing because "they were poorly engineered/calculated or badly built&qu

Even you have mentioned that "optical effect" is important. Which is exactly the point. Retaining walls are built for optical effects and looks rather than for being tough. A tough retaining wall would be a slope. Ever seen an old
