The author equates "not seeking professional help" with "growing out of it", which I don't think is right. However, he gets a lot right, and links to studies. My personal two biggest problems with 12 step: insistenc

I gave a citation, and it's is about 100x more authoritative than the random internet comment which this story is based on. I think people are dumb is why I got 3 downvotes and ignored while the other gets front page hacker news status

It has nothing to do with it, although it may have been part of their plan to spread this rumor to the programming community, which would really make it be part of their calculus. how big corporations pick names is actually quite interestin

Your complaint about the complaint adds neither... ya, it's hypocritical. Posts are not out of bounds simply because they are meta.

This. Yet again, I learn to check the comments first or get trolled. I wonder if journalism schools have a class called "Professional trolling."

Over time comparisons should be inflation adjusted, and optionally adjusted by total population or gdb.

Encryption is pretty darn cheap in cpu cost. And they have botnets to do it for them.

Not knowing much about it, I'd guess that companies are valued generally not on their assets, but their potential for future profits. Assets like cash are just a small piece of what will determine their future profit. Unless they don&#

I'd bet against it. Those kind of specs are almost never reliably achieved. Besides, "DisplayPort version 1.3, which was expected to be finalized in Q2 2014, will increase overall transmission bandwidth to 32.4 Gbit/s" w

I believe the spirit of the license was not changed. The spirit was spelled out by fsf and rms very well in things like the free software definition, and faqs about the purpose of the license etc. Not disallowing tivoization was an oversigh

I think his view that the most important part of the license is that it makes the software better is shortsighted. If linux gets used in 95% of all capable hardware everywhere, but it's all on locked down hardware by a few companies, w

Is it me or is it kinda strange/sad to see this post followed immediately by a bunch of goofy avatars, advertising, silly forum rank titles, etc.

It always seemed like such a regression to me when browsers disabled entire page caches and only ever show the freshest content. Before, if a page served 404, I could easily see my local cached version from my previous visit. Now, I'm

Evidence as in a source which is more authoritative than "random anonymous internet commenter" which says that companies use irregular scheduling to deter lawsuits & take power away from managers to discriminate.

> I'm not saying writing secure software in C is inherently impossible, but I'm not aware of it having ever been accomplished Kinda proves my point.

It can be whatever you want to call it. Terrible in comparison to a fantasy land of candy and rainbows. OP is saying "as a community we should say no to funding C security software". It's about as insightful as saying anyone

C security software is being massively funded and is very successfully the basis for trillions of business, eg. the linux & windows & mac kernel. But, according to #1 voted random psuedonymous internet commenter, this is obviously a

IANAL, but this makes a lot of sense. Lawyer's motivations are really really important.

Internet law: Your good post will be ruthlessly torn apart. Agreement is drivel. The best you can hope for is a slightly different point which happens to agree. Btw, I agree with you, and I think this phenomenon is dumb.

I've heard that a solid light is better because a drunk driver will be attracted to the blinking light, and naturally turn that way, hitting you instead of passing you. And since this blinks faster as they approach, it seems that it wo

Yes. You are being naive. You could reproduce rote aspects of the experiment. Not even all of them, you don't know how to calibrate some expensive lab equipment, its not the paper's job to explain that. And lots of things like con

tldr: Yes. They can sing it now now, but copyright holders have 100 year to indefinite monopoly and can to charge any price for licenses. The system has been corrupted.

Yes, for people who understand licensing stuff. For the many people who don't, they could say that 3rd party components of CoreOS are under various open source licenses, but the code they produce is Apache 2.0.
