I was waiting for the new spaghetti cowboys to arrive. Good luck guys, but keep in mind that a 1000 cores can do a lot more damage than 3 people can fix.

Honest question because I just don't know: Is Reddit shielded by Section 230 for comments made by moderators? I would say moderation is by definition editorial, but I have learned to not confuse logic with the law.

[edited] Can someone explain what d(3)=(|x|^3+|y|^3)^(1/3) would actually mean as the blog seems to suggest something more profound than the below? If d=|x|+abs|y} is moving in 2 dimensions, one dimension at a time and d(2)=(x^2+y^2)^(

I am always looking for the interesting in computer design as most of what we work with is bland. The reviewer is a fanboy. Okay, that happens. He is the one claiming it to be functional. He calls it brutalist. Frankly I completely fail to

My favorite (almost) obscene quote I found reviewing code, although I never could find the back story to it: "Which idiot wrote this crap? You did! Which idiot hired me?" I think this also points to the statistical significance. C

Let's see: Modern art starts somewhere around 1860 until 1970's. The term modern art was presumably first used in writing in the 1890's for French painters Coubert and Manet.The CIA was founded in 1947. Even MoMa predates th

It sure sounds like we have the same problem. For me however there are a few things I have learnt: 1. There is nothing (medically) wrong with you. Although I should own a t-shirt saying *) may contain nuts. 2. No you don't procastinate

Well my suggestion would be to be confident and positive. Confident that your issue/ cause/subject is important and that there are enough other people sharing that believe in the forum, regardless of the nay-sayers. With positive

Nothing in this article is specifically related to forum posts. This stuff can be found within any gathering of people and most have been described way earlier than the internet, as far back as the original Forum or Agora. That is not what

It sounds like a tough problem that you are not going to resolve before you leave. First realise that there won't be a lot to do when you get back. They are not that quick as you say. Second discuss with the team the problem: If you ne

I'm a solo entrepreneur and have been for 20 years. Can I be trusted: Yes. Is that obvious to prospective clients? Not at all. So the question is how are you going to limit the risk for your clients when using your products? Have busi

What I don't understand is that although there are a lot of non-profits in the US that are willing to help in these kinds of cases. Non of them ever tried or suggested going after the original notice giver for perjury as at least some

Sorry, I respectfully disagree. Censorship is someone else preventing you from saying something you want to say. Self censorship (as something you want to say but do not because of fear of the consequences) is not a thing, simply because y

Try looking up Noma, Copenhagen the best restaurant in the world (presumably). It then shows locations of other restaurants in the area. Aren't those ads? As what is reasonably expected (an this is old): https://www.forbes.c

It would be indeed a great feature if that was something only shared between you and your wife. Alas you get a lot of extras to go with it: An algorithm decides that you then must be hungry so ads for Arby's (they really can't rel

Expecting people to make meaningful even informed comments in an arena that is in no way suitable to the information your sending is not a failure of the receivers or the commenters. It is a failure of the sender. Asking people to invest th

Sorry, there seems to be a disconnect here. Yes the difference between back stage and front stage is a gray-scale. However that was not my point: Making selfies is an act of front stage, not because there might be other people around, but b

The OP and apparently the book following Goffman make a huge leap in stating that selfies somehow give insight in a persons back stage behavior as opposed to front stage behavior. There is no reason given why a conscious act of performance

I keep reading these comments on HN of people trying to guess on what the reason is Apple, Google or who else is terminating accounts, apps, videos or monetizing opportunities. Usually accompanied by a tone of voice telling people they shou

I think it is an interesting idea that needs some further exploration. I do see some problems with it that were not addressed. The way the demos are setup are by definition an NP!=P problem. It is easy to verify you found the right command,

The OP was invited to the partner program by Quora who actually thought a financial incentive was a good way to get quality answers. You seem to have moral objects to that, but both partners in this partner program were obviously okay with

Those figures are not as good as you seem to suggest. First of all. Tesla counts the number of miles for every Tesla being involved in an accident. The other figure you quote is for all miles driven by motor vehicles before getting involved

To be sure I'm not defending the practice, just shedding another light on it. In answer to your first question. There might not be an insurance against the system failing. The honest answer to what to do then, because someone always ne

I think your solution is fine. Just another perspective on that server message. This server might be actually running a real-time legacy interface to one of your biggest customers who pay a 6 figure premium to keep this old thing running, j

I have some experience in this field. First of all you are there to build a replacement service. As long as you do that in the allotted time what happens to the old should not bother you. Focus on your part of the solution. The fact that yo

Oracle will argue anything as long as it suites them. That seems to be the nature of modern litigation. Fact in this matter is that the license for the Amazon API does allow the API to be copied. But Oracle did and does not follow the licen

This article is wrong on so many levels: 1. Theoretical: chaotic and complex are not the same thing. Organized and tidy are neither the opposite from or excluding complex systems. Some very tidy systems can still be mind-boggling complex. F
