Nah brah, it's "Cali... brah!" The old joke is, "Conservatives love humans but hate humanity. Liberals love humanity but hate humans."

More sex-culture shaming. How about instead of wasting all this effort on law enforcement, 'company policy', and (extra creepy) banner-ads that display right when the john searches for sex, how about legalizing, taxing, and regul

This is similar to the musician's plight of rarely being able to guarantee a 'flat rate' for their performance services - both originals, covers, or a mix of the two.

Ahh yes, "because feminism". Why did I even bother to ask? :-)

Misogyny? Where's the specific hatred of women? If anything, it's (well-placed) misanthropy.

I became good online friends with kitten through kuro5hin. I was very sad when he passed as well.

Did that. Look at the mess you (we) have made already.

Some people are just intent on being professional victims.

Alright, I'll bite: I run a small personal network from soup to nuts - I host the DNS, the web server(s), the mail server(s), you name it. Why should I not set up DNSSEC - what's the downside for me?

Yup. "The Game Book" took quite a few liberties to write a better story, I suggest checking out books/lectures by a guy named Mystery.

Self defense/personal fitness is a great start. May I add 'delete Facebook' and 'learn Game' to the list. The latter can be incendiary in certain circles (this one, for instance), but with my sample size of '

I don't know what this has to do with hacking, but I sure hope I can still play when I'm this guy's age.

This. I semi-regularly work from cafe's, etc, and I would never in a million years leave my laptop unattended for any length of time either.

Well of course. Danegeld worked as well, for a few years.

Ever since the Phoenicians invented money, there has only ever been one solution to this problem. I personally could be convinced to work for a lot less than $1M/yr for a fully-remote job, hint-hint thirsty recruiters and tech execs ;

Well, Slack did buy Screenhero not too long ago....

That is some powerful kung-fu I have only recently been clued into, and have been working hard on improving my ability to do the same.

This guy gets it. Hopefully this letter will penetrate to where it needs to go.

How is this different from using Duplicity with a PGP key and throwing it to S3/B2?

What this says to me is that the current iPhone encryption is able to be broken by Apple. Note: "[the FBI is asking us to] make a new version of the iPhone operating system, circumventing several important security features, and instal

2 things: you have to manually install a Web browser. Under Debian, it is equally as easy to install Firefox as it is to install chromium and other competing browsers (no lock-in), and the big one: you are not compelled to pay for Debian li

I would love to see git-diff type notation on the text of various laws - 'senator so-and-so added this', 'paralegal Y removed this clause' - with commit-messages for each.

Well shucks, this is why I try not to HN at 3am on the regular... Yes, terabyte, not petabyte. And I'm well past the edit interval at this point; how embarrassing, mea culpa :-)

Could not agree more. Production data needs to be bigger than a petabyte or three before my default response is anything other than 'let's load it into RAM.' :-)

Couldn't happen to a nicer sleazeball. I have nothing but disdain for Paypal (and Square, at this point), their customer service is terrible, their limits (even for businesses) are laughably low, and their processes for increasing the
