   Isn't that a bit of a jump, and specifically called out in the quartz article as not true? "Did the CIA directly fund the work of Brin and Page, and therefore create Google? No."

   Here's a video that talks about one of the categories (best Foreign movie). FWIW, I don't dislike the Oscars much, I sometimes even watch the whole thing if I think the host will be funny in a way that pisses off Meryl Streep. Sor

   I'm not interested in looking it up and linking here, but there are several quora answers about how Leo wasn't really "robbed". He was unfortunate that every year he had a great movie, something was better.

   Same here. TSA allows it at times, but not in SFO or SJC. And asian airports, including Changi, don't allow it. I like the bag though so not too angry.

   SFO is weird. Last time I travelled, an older officer asked me to keep my (not smart, but metal for sure) watch on, unless I wanted to lose it. Didn't inspire a lot of confidence in the security check or the system.

   Do you know of an elegant way to do this when working with protobufs? Ideally, mark a field 'password', and the generated class' __str__ equivalent returns " "

    Whenever I see a ridiculous reaction on HN (like on the Signal/AWS article a few days ago), I just wait and watch how the same folks bend over backwards to defend Musk.

    There are a 100m prime subscribers globally. I've found that if I were unhappy, unsubscribing will continue to leave me irrelevant, but snarky comments can enrage fans of the service/neutral observers.

    Sure, I come from a point of view that the inaugural seasons House of Cards and orange is the new black were terrific. If you disagree with me on that, then Netflix is an even lower bar for you. I also think Black Mirror, while still good,

    Heh, moviepass is not killing anyone. I'm a natural customer (1 movie a week at least), and signed up in september or so. They turned around and dropped 3 out of the 4 theaters I watch movies in (one of which was an AMC)

    Holds for some of the first shows too. House of cards was a disaster even before the Kevin spacey thing, Orange is the new black has been going downhill (I blame that on Jenji Kohan), etc. They are making up in volume with new shows though.

    It's like quoting a wikipedia article, but there was an episode about this in a LastWeekTonight type show[0]. Two takeaways: 1. One of the southern states (that I'm from) ranks super-high in killing baby girls, despite what one wo

    Hahaha, 2007 here too! I also felt really uneasy in December 2006 about where I was, so I wrote entrance examinations to a bunch of third rate colleges as well (VIT, Amrita, Manipal, etc)
