I find topics like this very interesting. Fake reviews on Amazon, vote bombing on youtube, fake upvotes on reddit, fake likes on facebook. I'd even extend this tangentially to cyber squatting DNS records, email spam, and robo callers.

I agree with you. And I suspect 9 out of 10 doctors do as well. I want to neuter advertising more than anything, but I can't think of any kind of "rule" we could establish that would make public mind hacking illegal.

The reason that works is that the people actively streaming are sitting right there, in front of you, interacting with you.

Hey I remember explicitly trying this option and the osm2pg instance died consistently after running for 4 hours. I could never figure out why. I worked on it for 4 days with no success. I have no earthly idea how to get this to work.

I agree with this. While I agree with the rhetoric of this site, this site really is just empty rhetoric. The "why" on this site is, in my opinion, a terrible, ineffective, dogmatic argument. I agree with the dogma, but I'm n

No doubt a mister would basically guarantee you'd aspirate the bacteria if your hot water tank was contaminated. But I'm having difficulty seeing how you wouldn't also aspirate the bacteria with a shower head anyway. Are ther

And people think WH40K is silly. Look at us trying to appease the machine spirits.

That result is a rather strange anomaly. As far as I can tell it's not explained. Given that the system of ranking this is based on a simulation of agents, it may be unwise to jump to any conclusions about what "strategic voting&q

British Columbia recently had a referendum on our provincial voting system. The first time we did this, we lost, 60 to 40. 60 on the reform side btw, we needed a super majority. We did another referendum on it it, we lost 50 50. We did it a

I feel like the websocket inspector was the last thing I was missing, and now that I have it, I only need chrome for compatibility checks.

This was mentioned in a previous HN thread and I thought it was a brilliant idea. By default, browsers should throttle websites. Throttle their CPU and their ram usage, and websites can then ask for permission to be unthrottled. We have ver

Bug bounties. If people want a feature or a bug fixed, they can vote with their wallets. That strikes me as an equitable model. However we need to culturally accept this idea before it can gain traction.

Hey I like this idea . This is something that needs to happen. Every website starts with aggressive CPU throttling, and then they can ask for permission to be unthrottled. "Our web page requires lots of CPU to deliver text, for some r

I think the foundation of this comment is incorrect. This helps you build up the rsync command and test it. It gives you the rsync command that it runs. You're supposed to take the command it generates and use another tool to automate

Right? This is always the false dichotomy that gets put to us. "Either accept the ads or pay me 5 bucks a month" 5 bucks a month??!?! You were making 5 bucks a month off JUST ME WITH ADS?!!!! But it's not that at all. It&#x

I don't suffer much from that kind of anxiety. I found the challenge pretty compelling actually. Built in was the recognition "You're certain of this, but why? Is your tower built on shaky foundations? Check it again, because

When I was a just getting out of being a teen (17-19 ish?), I started a challenge (ideology? creed?) for myself. It was to "never be wrong". To do this I would have to be realistic of my certainties, be brutally honest with myself

well, you can do what I do and wipe the OS. Though, that's a bit of a time investment.

Web of trust springs to mind for me. God I'd love something like that for reviews. Farm out all the fake mass reviews you want, unless you get people who have the trust of people who will actually buy your product, you won't get a

I don't think I understand the desire that something be open source. I feel like, if I wanted to, I could contribute to the linux kernel. All that I would need to do is submit pull requests, have it vetted, and gain reputation within

I'm investigating this right now, I can't tell you much, as I don't understand some of the fundementals yet. I have to say, first glance, I like the idea of this tool a lot. I normally use light weight spreadsheets like gnume

I mean. I'm not saying you're wrong here. What's freer than an anarchic society after all? Of course, we can justify rules on the grounds of freedom. A king certainly is free, his subjects are not. So what's freer? A com

I'd say there are very reasonable parallels between DRM and on client anti-cheat technology. I mean, at it's most base, both technologies are there to subvert the owners wishes. Arduous people like me find such subversion to be un
