Wouldn't want to impinge on your free speeches. Dissident dialogue might be unfairly silenced, such as this comment: https://twitter.com/femfreq/status/363160225873805312

Do stats exist on the reasons YC start-ups failed? From my casual reading of news.yc it seems most start-ups in general fail due to social shortcomings, not failures from inability to solve technical issues. The tech world in general has s

I really dislike these type of stories. Basically saying "Investor buys lotto ticket; outperforms DJIA by 5 billion percent." Or a more realistic example, the stories that flow when gas prices spike. Like the person with the die

The blog post conflates two issues. First there is the societal issue of the gender gap in tech. That involves discussions and education with the community at large regarding why women are underrepresented and how the gap can be closed.

I have 8GB of ram. I stopped caring about my OS footprint a long time ago. I sometimes forget VMs running on my workstation and never notice. My system resources are essentially limitless; my time is not. I used Gentoo for a while think

Fairly ignorant comment you've got there. What you wrote is akin to saying Jewish men won't touch unrelated women or their own adopted children because you once met an Orthodox Jew who told you about negiah ( http://en.

The existence of drug organizations is a capitalist response to government intervention in the market. Prohibition is the source of the black drugs market as well as the reason the police militarized themselves.

Lot of doom and gloom about the only gaming company that doesn't dump their product on the market at a loss. Sony and Microsoft piss away literally billions of dollars for years waiting for their consoles to become profitable. And her

The Apple ad reminded me a lot of the Google Dear Sophie ad. Both were trying to tell the viewer "Hey, we are a part of your life and making it better." Except the Apple ad had to say it, while the Google ad showed it. Show v Te

Your second point isn't correct. The emergency codes are "something you have". You can only generate the codes while logged in, and keep a physical copy separate from your phone. If you lose your phone you pull the paper f

While HN isn't responsible for the content of the articles it linked to, the community here sure took the opportunity to write, and upvote, some awful things. I wish there was a sort of pinned story feature to offer a community retract

First, the primary job for any rescuer is to not become another victim. Be prepared for a violent altercation with the victim. The person is dying and not thinking normally. Don't be afraid to hurt the person to protect yourself. If

A drowning person will endanger his rescuer by instinctively climbing onto the highest point available (the rescuer's head). If you see someone drowning, alert a lifeguard if possible. Depending on the situation, the proper action mig

Sad to see reddit's pedo-apologia leaking onto news.yc. It's not a "minority" crime (an example of that would be prison sentences for crack being 20x that for possessing an equivalent amount of cocain). Child pornography is a sex crime that

How disappointing to see anti-Islam polemic as the top comment. The comment then ties a marriage from 1,300 years ago to his justification for possession of child pornography. Real quality content the community is endorsing.

I'm not really sure what your issue is. You use twisted. Twisted is currently being updated to support python3. Gevent has a branch which passes tests for python 3.3: https://travis-ci.org/fantix/gevent/builds/3588293 Is there some m

The transition was always planned to take several years and I can't think of any major project which decided not to port to python 3. http://py3ksupport.appspot.com/ and https://python3wos.appspot.com/ both list package compatibility.

For the love of god why have 60 servers with ssh available open to the world? Ssh through trusted gateway machine! Then you need a single signature you trust and you can firewall off the rest of your hardware.
