No, it was great, but BNC / Coax ethernet was awful and horrible and an absolute nightmare to debug. I probably still have a drawer full of terminators somewhere

I used to be a big fan of Derren Brown when I was younger, and I do still like a lot of his work, but he readily admits to deceiving the audience, and the deception includes the explanations he gives for his techniques. The video you linked

The difference is that in the 80s the few people that believed this nonsense were unable to instantly find hundreds or thousands or millions of equally deluded people to reinforce and amplify their beliefs and subsequently amplify the harm

Because otherwise you end up with thousands of incomplete and incompatible implementations all fighting to be the best or running out of steam after a month or two. Node is a hellscape from a db perspective

if there's an interesting conversation to be had it's about governance and transparency in how online spaces are moderated, given the depth of their influence, the broadness of their reach and the relative power wielded by those w

Perhaps, but I'm surprised given the level of influence Reddit has these days. Reddit reaches about 500 million people per month, probably more. It's not "just a silly message board" anymore. They have a comparatively ti

Yeah it's nothing to do with their gender status, but someone reading those threads now might draw the conclusion that the stories were flagged or penalised due to the transphobia, which is not the case - the penalty came before the ha

HN is also penalising threads that discuss this. This post has 74 upvotes in 27 minutes and 11 comments at time of writing. Ordinarily it would significantly outrank most of the other posts on the front page, but it doesn't seem to be

Given the clear conflict of interest at play here (Reddit is a YC company and are seemingly preparing to IPO in the near future) this post would be a great candidate for additional transparency from dang

I'm not sure I want to list the reasons it is bad here because the subject has been painted as a conspiracy theory and YC is obviously interested in Reddit. But the gist is that they knew who she was,she used her substantial mod power

I'm still surprised that Reddit avoided a major scandal over the Ghislaine Maxwell situation. It's clear that they have serious ethical/integrity issues yet have avoided the kind of criticism that FB and Twitter get, despite

As a user? sure. People who create and curate content quite often want to be paid for their work, they create businesses to support themselves, often in the form of a website. If Google scrapes and repackages that content, so the searcher n

The US Air Force ran a war game. While the war game was in progress the Chinese Military ran a war game of their own, simulating a series of attacks on Taiwan. The timing appears to be unrelated, I suppose the article mentions them to draw

All it takes is for the US and EU to ban cryptocurrency itself and the problem goes away. It doesn't matter if mining is done in countries beyond their borders because the demand will go through the floor and those countries will have

The problem with making this bet is that the value of the underlying crypto can move by far more than the possible 15% return while the result is pending. 2 months is more than enough for the price to double or halve and people want to be a

My very first interaction with a computer was with the BBC Basic command prompt, 30 years ago when I was 7. If it hadn't been so accessible I doubt I'd be a programmer now, so I feel like I owe it a lot!
