COVID does make it easier now than ever before. A lot of companies aren't even re-opening until middle or even late next year.

This is an interview between a realtor and a cloud infrastructure engineer in Costa Rica. It covers some of the basic concepts you need to work remotely from a rainforest.

Costa Rica is where I landed. Pretty nice. Let me know if you need advice.

Also, everyone to the right of Antifa have been told Net Neutrality was disguised legislation to censor conservative opinions. Given how completely Twitter, Facebook, Google, et al censor right-leaning political opinions, and they're b

Good point. No-one will take you up on that, because as much as we hate to admit it, we know the newly-available EPA talent is good for some other org to take in, not our org, heavens no. As others have noted in other comment threads, EPA n

What I really want to know: how to permanently delete your entire presense of Google. All your emails, sent or received, all your G+, all your calendar reminders, Hangouts, etc. Seems a daunting task. Especially the part where you have to c

Thank you for the inventory of my life. I remember those months as a kid when the cupboards were bare, and so I'd just shrug and go to bed without dinner. Thank goodness for government-sponsored low-income lunch program. That was my on

Uh. The vast majority of what constitutes YOU is empty space. Sometime go look up the amount of space between the protons, neutrons, and electron cloud in an atom.

I bothered to read the article, and I don't buy that premise at all. It seems to indicate that for a thought to happen, a signal must traverse the entire length (width?) of your brain. That isn't how it works at all. Many thoughts

This is amazing news. I love the advances we're making as a society. In that $3-5k cost of running a PET scan, I wonder how much of that is paying professional operators and physicians to interpret the results? Could ML be applied to t

There's a fair bit of nutritional research and a few pop-sci books that cover it saying that in fact, if it tastes good, it probably is trash. If we define trash as food with a lot of caloric content but little nutritional content. Muc

Create a need, then fill it. He managed to convince a few very large seafood-serving companies that this cheap and abundant fish was actually what they wanted, so they bought it -- from him -- in vast quantities. So... Make sure, in your st

Hopefully this comment will be of use to someone. My stack is Syncthing and Backblaze. It works very well for many terabytes of data. No huge issues yet, although sometimes Syncthing gets into a weird state about what's been synchronis

I'm curious: what have you ever seen Github publish that would indicate there was any such security around your private repos within their organisation? I would have assumed there was none myself, but you seem to've assumed they&#

It is so weird being on the spectrum and hearing stories like this. My dad and I often typed in multi-page programs without errors, or perhaps one error in the program. I always thought it was OCD or something, where I would not enter a cha

tl;dr: Clickbait headline. Exactly-once delivery not even close to implemented. Typical de-duping, as you've seen and read about hundreds of times already, is what they did.

Admittedly, that's bad, and pretty devastating. But I think compared to having the gestapo kick in your door, take you away in cuffs, and no-one sees you for 90 days is just a little more egregious.

It is time to coin a new phrase: the Hacker News inverse comment-interest ratio. The fewer comments on a story, the more likely it is to be extremely interesting and relevant to a hardcore geek. Anytime I see a slightly-curious headline wit

Or maybe people just don't care anymore for NYtimes articles that cite "source." Fabricated clickbait is real.

That seems to be the trick the Buddhists and yourself have figured out. The language, however, is dated. Maybe you could update Buddhist mantra for 2017 using all the parlance of our times?

Yes. Let's blame Trump and the GOP, who undoubtedly shares blame in this fiasco, but why bother singling them out when the Democrats and their privacy-invading leaders are just as bad? Why can't we work together to solve the probl
