This is real fucked up, a government agency unwilling to remove fraudulent comments upon request by those who had their identity stolen. Perhaps Karl should sue the FCC?

I've rather enjoyed the HTC Vive, the room scale experience, breadth and depth of games available for it coalesce to make it a solid product. I doubt I'd ever buy anything from Facebook, but then again I'm an oddball in that

Where have vouchers proven effective? If anything, we need to follow Finland's lead and ban paying for school. Segregating students by economic class has not improved education in the United States, about the only effects are 30+% unva

Where are you located? Domino's has an API apparently: https://github.com/aluttik/pizzapi I rather like Domino's surprisingly, compared to their pizza in the early 2000's its quite delicious now. I'

Dezoning most American cities would be quite a good thing. We massively subsidize parking thanks to our zoning requiring parking minimums (such that buildings are only able to rent parking for low $0.xx/sqft a month, versus $x/sqf

The Bay area is royally fucked by zoning, full stop. You can drive around suburbs like the one you reside in and see the (high priced) slum, where taller & larger buildings have effectively been banned. Dezoning California so appropriat

Use it where it makes sense, this isn't hard to plan out and think ahead. For example, you could landscape this way all over Seattle or Portland, and in most of Hood River, OR as the wind is only consistently strong in small areas in t

That isn't what Aloha was getting at, why is a layer 2 device (in this case a WiFi AP) even interacting with IP addressing? You should be able to run whatever you want, whether that be IPv4, IPv6, or your own custom protocol using raw

PFSense runs PHP as root. Let that just sink in for a second, does that sound like a recipe for security? Nevermind the community, when it comes to vaguely complex things like IPTV and similar, support is either legacy or gone. At this poin

I tried approximately a year ago to figure out Powershell, other people in this thread have said "Oh, install all these things to clean it up, here are only a handful of them, have fun" which is pretty useless. I don't want t

To put it succinctly, your hosed. There is no way this will pan out for you by trying to pry identity data out of banks, larger credit bureaus, etc. Find a smaller credit bureau that actually wants to work with you, and pull a couple other

Wow, way to completely ignore the question. Saying "its better" without even responding to the glaring unresolved errors by MS I highlighted is totally pointless. Your comment successfully added nothing of value to this HN thread,

But why saddle myself with a registry? I just don't see the need. Also, basic stuff like tab completion and so forth just doesn't exist in Powershell, copying/pasting is a nightmare, and it has its own syntax tomfoolrey like

FYI they are owned by Wave Broadband now, and Centurylink covers quite a bit of the city with fiber. Not that you'll know, cause their fiber prequal database is shut off in the afternoons/evenings/early morning cause screw yo

A gigabit switch is a heck of a lot cheaper than a 48 port router or a basic Linux box with proper VLANs and tagging on the switch. These were also likely configured in the early days of Webpass, so they prolly won't touch it unless it

Charter includes the modem with their plans though, so why would you not just ask for an IPv6 approved modem? Its not as though they charge an equipment rental fee like Comcast or Cox...

In Seattle proper, almost 2/3rds of the city is covered by Centurylink with Gigabit fiber[1], but due to the way their cable franchise agreement is worded with the city, Centurylink has to wire the poorest neighborhoods first, and leav

Speaking of morals, is it really moral to not promote and invest in kidney transplants rather than have the federal government pay for dialysis for 5+ years before a person dies (due to the failed kidneys usually)? We could easily get most

Then you end up with a bunch of really expensive infrastructure in low density neighborhoods, which is really really bad. Cities can't afford to maintain said infrastructure, and you end up like Lafayette, Louisiana[1], or any of the o

Yeah, zoning is the real story here. Rent control, increasing the cost of most new housing so there is some affordable housing, and similar measures will just worsen the problem of a small housing supply. If we remove modern zoning law that

Pretty much, I'd much rather talk with a MAGA than a liberal, despite the similarity in views I may share with said liberal. The former I can often have a sensical conversation with and perhaps change their mind on some issues, the lat

Odd, I've only ever seen this be an issue on the Raspberry Pi platform, outside of that power loss doesn't regularly cause data loss on most Androids or Allwinner boards so long as the mSD isn't of low caliber.

Just saw this, TL;DR we transfer a large file onto and off of the mSD card. If its above 10MB/s for both (which is the base rating on a class 10 card), then it is a fine mSD card. I've also noticed that on multi-gig files speeds t

So you agree with me in principle, but when it comes to action you feel we should fuck over the worker in the name of profit? To quote Martin Luther King Jr.: "I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's grea

Sure, but you end up paying for this directly in the form of insurance increases like this. Additionally, your taking on a large liability, if the car gets damaged in this way and the person who damaged it drives off, or worse yet damaged i

Are they being properly compensated for their time? By that, I mean is the employee being directly compensated for all of the non-work hours the company is claiming ownership of ideas over? Otherwise, if its a classic "Here is a salary

Wouldn't that ethically be wage theft? The employer is claiming ownership of your ideas when your off the clock, thus they should be paying you overtime if they want ownership of those ideas. Nevermind the salary/overtime exempt s

Wow, I get that a Tesla costs more than the median yearly income in the US, but $13k for a sub-10mph crash seems excessive. Repairs for a similarly priced BMW or Volvo would likely be less, knowing a few people involved in accidents with ex
