The wording of the statement tells you the entire problem. "The customer purchased a counterfeit item!" Actually, no. The customer purchased an authentic item but Amazon shipped the customer a counterfeit item. Guess whose respo

Lot's of comments about moving DEFCON out of US jurisdiction. DEFCON officially flaunts the fact that both criminals and law enforcement attend the event.[0] If that is the approach of the con, this interaction is built-in. This isn&#x

The quote bombshell here, and what hasnt yet gotten much attention since sysadmins the world over are busy dealing with fallout, is that the NSA and therefore the US government is directly responsible for the current global cyber-carnage. W

If the act of running as an outsider for high office is mostly an exercise in building name recognition to bolster future races, this may be an OK idea. If this is a play to get younger people to pay attention to government, also an OK idea

As a technologist working at a company that helps businesses design & build office space, one item I notice always lacking in conversations about office space is growth. The article brushes off growth by suggesting you just open a new o

What you can do now to stop a political process that ended last November is: nothing. It's in the past. What you can do now to impact political processes in the near future (no policy is immutable, after all) is to work in your communi

Site's presentation is cool. Pretty sloppy language being thrown around, though. Craft breweries are referred to but only microbreweries appear to be ranked, and using some pretty dicey methods at that, leading to a lot of confusion in

This is a great comment to illustrate grandparent's point that irrational hate of certifications permeates the industry. Many certifications under discussion here are meant to assist at the entry-level. That's what the certificate

I agree. The podcast was sold as a murder mystery, and it is not. It is an exploration into the personal life of 1 man who likely suffered from serious mental issues. It trades entirely on his personal tragedies, and also flirts with legiti

Everybody is right. It doesn't have to be either-or. You can select a paid VPN service that helps protect you from specific adversaries. You can roll your own VPN on your own VPS that helps protect you in some use cases. You can, and s

What if my stack of 25 turn up only unqualifoed people who know to submit keyworded documents? Aren't we now un-rejecting people just like the linked article satirizes? I feel like such an automated approach is roundly criticized by HN

I sympathize deeply with this sentiment. However, let's switch modes. Please suggest your solution for the problem of receiving 1,874 resumes for a job posting and, 42 days later, finding your likely candidate on the 244th candidate yo

Some comments here aren't grasping the idea that some people's legitimate job involves sending cold emails to targeted individuals, and some people's legitimate jobs rely on receiving those emails. If this concept is foreign

there are about 700m in extreme poverty now, which it defines as living below $2/day. If we gave each of those people $2/day, we'd need $550billion/year 700m × $2 = $1.4b. What am I missing?

Worse and less are two different things. One is a judgement of quality, the other a judgement of quantity.

Hey Jim, I just wanted to say that I personally would like to recommend this product, especially as it adds more offices and features. Great idea. Before I share it widely, though, I'll probably wait for it to fix the issue of showing

I don't think we need any partisan bickering to address your point: It seems they should have named it something more appropriate, like the Universal Health Insurance Act. The name of the bill is a lot less important to most people t

The article cited addresses this point and it is built into the clearance rate as calculated.

The average murder clearance rate in the USA was about 64% in 2015 [1] so I'm highly skeptical of your claim that 80-90% of murders are not a mystery. [1] http://www.npr.org/2015/03/30/395069137/open
