I'm appreciative for the person who wrote the article. These are my favorite types of debates and while I disagree with it for much better articulated reasons already mentioned, primarily the exploitative nature of header files used as

Can I just say, only being a portion of the way through the article, you are a natural teacher/communicator. You have a very kind, knowledgeable, and effective way of explaining. I'd like to point out how much I appreciate how you

This right here. It was one of the few ways in BTC where you could launder it and completely break the flow. Then there was monero and it seemed to scratch the itch a little easier

I have a naive question. Am I only able to get the paper free by asking the researcher (assuming all others are behind paywalls) which is being enforced by some form of legal language? For example, say I post a link to my research paper alo

You've been spending too much time arguing over virtualization or bare metal. You are at the wrong level of abstraction.

Why is using Twitter for telling a story a thing. People that are smart as hell using a tool built around what feels like mental whiplash to tell a relatively complex story. I actually think there is value with Twitter applying pressure and

I hate that we use twitter to report on stuff...it feels like the worst medium to talk about meaningful issues and the easiest way to get things twisted.

It feels like this is the type of response where we were at with Windows when they were forcing updates etc. They backpedaled a little bit when you were forced to log in through a Microsoft account and people semi-rioted but came back prett

I mean... isn't everyone piling onto the intel beatdown? I saw a pretty rough one talking about the desperation and low yields of their chips. No rest for the weary

Agreed. Call home features can be spoofed by a poisoning type of attack upstream in various forms. This is not bullet proof and a cop-out with a poor solution for security. You know who has effective call home features? Vendors that sell to

Uphold and Cred severed ties awfully quick. For something geared towards transparency...really strange how ominous this all is. Really has me thinking hard about Crypt, Nexo, etc and all of the other ones out there. I diversify for stuff l

Surprised this isn't getting more traction. Maybe not many users were leveraging it.

Came here to say exactly this...it's still a click-baity title. This really has nothing to do with demanding ransom. You could hack a website leaving a message and claim they could "Demand a ransom". Quite simply this is just

I feel like you summarized my life. I have four areas I think of relationships in; physical, intellectual, emotional, spiritual. We don't have to align perfectly in any or all areas, but there has to be activity and I do have a belief

I knew a guy in the military who often stated: "Never trust a man you cannot have a drink with" I had always felt conflicted because alcoholism was a common thing there and often people were sorting these things out. This article

This is the point. Using gas is like eating dessert first. This is just forcing vegetables as part of the equation. There will be a carbon tax because people are too short-sighted in identifying long-term impact because - "It doesn&#x2

I worked at a large insurance company in a previous life, this was their stance as well. They will deviate if the field is hot enough and it translates to money for them. They were paying FAANG money to AI/Data Science fresh out of co

Yeah, I actually was going a slightly different route. I got into generating passive income. I am now in a position where I can maintain a lifestyle I enjoy and homeschool my small children. I could pay for the best schools and keep track

Yeah...I mean I think money is genuinely this necessary evil we've built a society around and I am constantly questioning it. How interesting that we can build a system that can fluctuate enough to upend lives both good and bad. You be

I think you are using satire to make a point although you may be serious. To play devils advocate to my own point: There are some jobs that between those hours of 9-5 it is a dream come true. I ran an R&D team, we could buy any technol

Isn't it crazy this is what it all boils down to...looking over our 30 some odd years grinding away and we are looking to stay safe. You can live your dream or help someone else build theirs.

I enjoy this line of thought. I hope you do pursue this, I'd be interested in what you create. Makes me think of the Einstein quote: "Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas."

It is a butts in seats equation. If you can have less expensive operators driving and mapping the world and place all the smarts in the pipes, you can drive down opex and divert cash to capex for competitive advantage. Linux and much of the

How is this any different than FAANG type workers spinning out, creating their startup, writing a book.... Really myopic view. You may not consider it cool but this is their livelihood which they've put a lot more into than many I kno

"More info available on the Bloomberg Terminal" Did I get tricked into a Paywall Ad? I have been debating for a long time of creating a Hacker News feed that filters out specific domains. Bloomberg is on that list without a doubt

TIBCO is very much providing queuing/caching to shuttle data from one point to another. The goal is even more-so to be the interconnect for all systems across a varied enterprise at a higher level. It's all pub-sub underneath the
