I don't think it's that only reason. However, it serves as a great talking point when campaigning against an opponent. Imagine having to defend against, "Candidate X voted against the Human Trafficking Prevention Act!&quo

Hey man, it's all for the protection of kids and to prevent human trafficking! I mean, it's in the name: Human Trafficking Prevention Act. It doesn't matter that we're stepping on the toes of other citizens and their rig

You're right, but it goes beyond that. Yahoo used to be a titan. I was a regular user of Yahooligans back in the day. Yahoo (at one time) had been my go to search engine. I can't say that it was ever my primary email account, but

Those things aren't even legal in the US, and I'm sure that if you were caught using one by a company like Amazon, they'd quickly put you on the hook for the bill.

I meant the wait time increase. If I don't like you (or am just a jerk in general), I'll just write a script to automatically retry 0000 after the lockout period. I'm not trying to break into your account; I'm just hassl

This is ripe for abuse. Case in point: Back in my time in the military, there was an online portal that held your service information, the ability to request leave (time off), pay, etc. It was the place to go if you needed information asi

Perhaps there's intended subtext saying that computers have the capability to do such things, but we are unable to do such things with the current technology and knowledge. I mean, you're right. The statement shouldn't have b

There are a lot of places where I'd know that this is a joke. On HN, I can't tell[0]. I mean, I'm sure there is at least some sarcasm in there, but I can't tell how much is real and how much is hyperbole. [0]: https:&#x

Perhaps I'm reading it wrong, but I don't understand where this high and mighty tone of yours comes from. You keep making these sweeping generalizations about kids at large. It's as if you're saying that the current gene

The advertisements are subsidizing a portion of the bill. What portion, I'm not exactly sure. Even if it was a patently false statement and cable companies started showing TV with no commercials (or maybe 10 minutes per hour at the wor

Probably not. I pulled a small number out as an example of what not to do based on some single criterion. A 3% increase is meager, but other benefits could more than make up for it like better healthcare, 401k matching with a better plan, s

I'm not saying that we should ignore the plight of people working in less than subpar conditions to give us our new device fix, but what does the latter part have to do with a faulty release product? Early adopter is a misnomer, becaus

Optimize doesn't mean that you should completely ignore salary, work/life balance or any other benefit. I read it as, "Don't immediately jump ship just because someone offers you a 3% increase." > and this is how

I's about common sense. I'm not saying your former place of employment is full of idiots, but some people hold fast to the that's just the way it's done paradigm. None of what you listed is clever. Those are basics, an

Are you a Linux user? Skype was slow for me on Linux after a certain update. It has also become very bloated over the years, but the Windows and Android clients have always been reliable for me.

You could make the same argument about having an Xbox when Microsoft already deals with computers. Why have a separate console when you can have a PC that does the same and then some? Nintendo's first party IPs are partially what keeps

Yes. Some people do not know how to write extensible software. They solve the issue at hand without any regard to big picture, so when something needs to be added (like test) the code needs to be heavily refactored to accommodate the change

I am so glad you said this. With the boom of the tech industry, it feels like a lot of stuff is getting over engineered these days. Instead of products that focus on something that does it really well, it does its job mostly alright with ha
